Michigan grower Mitten Gardens has built a cultivation style around simplicity, consistency, and knowing when not to follow the crowd.
In Episode 47, we talk about growing in one of the most competitive cannabis markets in the country, keeping a smaller operation profitable, and why good product and the right scale still matter.
Inside the grow, Mitten breaks down Toad Venom, why the cultivar performed better under significantly lower PPFD, HPS vs LED, checkerboard lighting, under-canopy lighting, three-gallon coco, once-a-day irrigation, runoff, and why he still prefers reading the plant over chasing sensors and complicated crop steering strategies.
We also get into pheno hunting, genetics, Michigan’s caregiver roots, the shift from the traditional market to licensed cultivation, building a team, staying disciplined with money, and why doing more is not always the answer.
This one is about keeping cultivation simple, learning what each genetic actually wants, and building a business that can survive when the market gets tighter.

Great episode; I always learn something and get new ideas while listening to the podcast. We need more episodes!
The problem is perhaps the pricing! Legal weed shouldn't be $200 an ounce for top shelf in any market. I pay that in Texas for top shelf illegal weed! You cannabis companies are pricing yourself out I f the market you want to reach. I'm in Washington now and although weed is legal, black market sales will get you top shelf weed at $75 an ounce. Sticky, good smoke! I actuality grow my own for these reasons
Man I wish you guys dropped more podcasts more often 🙏 keep up the content bro.
Send us the link to John with that cram lmao
Bro what!!!! I do the cream also!! 20% testosterone on your BALLS everyday!!! You can do it once or twice a day!! It is amazing! The best way to get it right at the balls!!
I can’t smoke anymore because of my kids know it’s more like your wife said it😂
Micro dosing your HRT daily to keep your HGH & Testosterone at the same levels as when you was in your 20's, it keeps you competitive through out your 40s a night and day difference. 🫡✊✊

Peptides are legit. Our government just wants us sick of course

To maintain less than 6EC in runoff do you have to push like 40% runoff every day?
