The Challenges of Growing Weed Outside!
In this episode of Grow Weed at Home, legendary cultivator Kyle Kushman chats with Parker Curtis (Homegrown Cannabis Co.’s “Garden Guru”) about managing an expansive 60-plant cannabis greenhouse and sharing pro grower tips. Parker gives an inside look at his home setup – a 10×32 ft greenhouse packed with a variety of strains from clones and seeds. He reveals how he reuses soil each season with organic amendments (like BioLive fertilizer, humic acid, and compost) to keep his plants fed without breaking the bank. Parker also talks about mixing in coco coir (Roots 707 soil) and dialing in an automated watering system to maintain perfect moisture for his ladies.
No grow is without challenges, and Parker isn’t shy about discussing them. He and Kyle dive into integrated pest management (IPM) for outdoor grows – from companion planting and greenhouse weatherproofing to early-season Spinosad sprays for thrips and weekly BT applications to stop caterpillars in their tracks.
