DJ had great thoughts and work but also at those early days we did not underrstand certain terpenes ( and entourage effect ). Get us higher than others so flavors really matter , but effect is #1. Its nice James talks about his evolution of his breeding , its appreciated
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is a must watch. Love the show james
We will have genetic manipulation soon, once we know the dna …
i enjoy making the seeds …the seedlings
..the veg stage..the flowering stage the curing and repeat
Forget the numbers the only and best way to test ganja is smoke a joint. There’s too much here it ain’t alcohol.favinoids terpenes cannabinoids thc. Thcv etc.

Bruce Banner is clone of OG Kush x strawberry diesel seeds he won the bid on an online auction for those seeds. Computer crashed didn’t find out til next day he won the bid

The only thing I want to say is, I believe what he is describing as "morphing" just sounds like the plant expressing a different phenotype under a different environment. Which is normal.
Thanks for calling out genetic drift. Lots of people get it wrong. Look it up.
Root terpes, like cucumber plant seedlings smell like a cucumber fruit when eating it.
I love your podcast! The conversations coming out of em are just gold. Sipping some coffee and smoking Moloko Plus I grew to this.

Just found this pod! Subbed!
Shout out to Strawberry cough. I’m from Bridgeport CT we smoked so much of that growing up but until about a year ago I did not know Kushman got that cut from Bridgeport
Man you know you’re high when you start getting real philosophical about shit lol. Happens all the time. A mf gets high and the spirit of Socrates mysteriously enters the room. Preach it Plato!
Crazy, I found a seed in some strawberry cough in 07 ish. Me and my dad were already growing so I figured why not sprout it. That seed became our favorite weed. The taste and aroma omg. Pops tried naming it Walker Supreme haha I told him that’s not how it works. He pass a year later. I tried giving the clones to the few growers I knew. I ended up losing the strain. Super sad and still to this day I haven’t tasted and smelt those flavors. Good episode. I love these stories.
I had 3 different strawberry coughs indirectly from Kushman one of them i let go it made anyone that tried it paranoid asf. The one i kept smelled like frankincense and myrrh. I never got immune to it. Was amazing.
Expect to fail on your first crop, but expect to do better next time. Treat it like practice. If you love to practice, you get better.
I attended C-Days in Barcelona & heard Kyle talk for the 1st time. Respect for your passion & integrity regarding Home Grown rights..love from The Hemp Company Dublin. Get up & Grow 💚
He use to be my neighbor in 98
That’s what’s up 🔥
I been waving the flag for Tropicana Cherry for 2 years now as the one cultivar that gives me the best efficiency out of anything I’ve ever tried.
With only testing 18-22% normally it’s a true test that THC % don’t matter as I have one of the highest tolerance out of anyone I know.
Awesome talks man! Love hearing about the genetics
I was robbed by the cops twice
time to pop all the old seeds to bring back real effects
The plant has soul, the same strain is often grown and looks different with different growers. And so do the effects . The plant can feel pain and energies of the grower and can change its terpene profile to heal. Thats the magic.
If I had to choose one dude to smoke with from the weed scene, it would be Kyle Kushman.
i might live in texas
I call.bs I don’t think a clone would show full terpenes unless it was in flower but ehh kool.story tho love you Kyle
I need a cut bro that was the best strain i ever grew in washington state where can i find some
Bro, I’m telling y’all….James, if you have any….roll up and salad of cream and cough. Absolutely delicious fire with a heavy smack!
🔥🔥🔥🔥

I googled that movie ( home grown cannabis co. Santa marta gold but cant find it.. can yall help me find it please..
Interesting concept what if the cannabis industry added another tax (at the dispo 😁) that would solely be dedicated towards hiring scientists to examine this amazing plant? Make the gov look even more ignorant.. scientifically speaking of course
