What’s in the Interview?
Introduce yourself?
What’s your origin story?
How long consulting?
Cannabis or other crops as well?
Sostanza/Canna Cribs consulting?
Talk about your contribution to the book.

The chapter opens up with a warning about “ineffective post-harvest procedures…”
Can you elaborate a bit on which specific procedures/techniques growers might get wrong or not KNOW they should be doing?

A question we see on the GN forum a lot is about timing of your harvest, growers wondering how they know when their plants have reached maturity and are ready for harvest..
What’s your recommendation?
Trichome heads? Go by a calendar?
What are some of the factors that can influence maturing times?
Cultivar difference, Environment, controlled stress, Flushing
What do we mean by controlled stress? What are the techniques and how far can a grower go without applying too much pressure?

Let’s talk about trimming…!
From your experience consulting…
Is bucking necessary?
What advantages does it offer the grower?
Is this more of a strategy for collecting biomass for processing?
Do you see a benefit of hand trimming over machine or vice versa?
What’s the ideal use case for each?
Same with Wet vs Dry trim?

Speaking of dry trimming, let’s just explore the drying process a bit…
How can a grower mitigate spoilage in drying?
What types of problems are going to “Crop Up” in a poorly executed drying process?
How does this relate to preserving the quality of your cannabis? What are your recommended parameters?
There are many ways to dry a plant…
What’s the best way to measure your moisture content?
What are some different methods you’ve seen?
Hang Drying?
Any specific advantages or disadvantages?
Screen Drying
Any specific advantages or disadvantages?
Whole plant dry versus cuttings?
Any specific advantages or disadvantages?
More growers are using technology to help dry their plants. Can we talk about…
Conveyer drying?
How does this work?
Freeze Drying?
How does this work?
Do you risk drying too quickly?
Vacuum Oven Drying
How common is this method?
How does it work?
We’ve seen growers who combined dry and cure, and even a few who would say curing is unnecessary –
What are your thoughts?
What makes a “good” cure?
What kind of abiotic variables need to be considered when curing?
What’s your recommended method for curing?

  1. Thank you for the video. However, Maybe I was expecting too much from the title (PhD Post-Harvest)… I liked the way you conducted the whole show by making it a point to differenciate home growers and commercial. I just have 42 years of growing, testing, trial and errors!!! School is good. Experience is priceless! Cheers

  2. 30:00 😄 i grow on rooftop (hydro). Winds, dry, strong light &hot. A lot of stress. Why i choosed a Dutch stabilised strain . She give me every year some of the finest subtility i can produce.

  3. Please talk about how Mexican cartels have infiltrated our cannabis industry and are using big names like Cookies, SeedJunky, Lemonnade, GreenLabelRx, etc etc as front companies.

  4. PHD= no experience and trained by people with no experience. A joke. I have 12 years cultivating in California. Ill put myself up against this guy in a debate any day. Seen ALOT of PHDs go out of business in this industry.

  5. Yo just a word of advice if you're going to have a interview over the computer make sure that the audio quality doesn't sound like somebody speaking inside of a tin can.
