Minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 8 inch and start 4, 3, 2, 1. I'm Sean and I'm Charlotte and this is HyroVit Woo Woo Back of the shop evening episode. We got a very special guest in the house. He's been a friend of ours since the store opened. I guess I'm trying to think of pinpoint the moment that I met you, mr Greg Vendetti, aka Don Cron, donis Cronus, I don't know, I just threw that one out there. Cron Dizzle, cron Dizzle that one and Dizzle. Do you remember when I met you man?
Speaker 3:No, but I think the point.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 3:I think I called the store first. I'll be honest with you Street.
Speaker 2:Dial yeah, it was a Charlotte. It was a Charlotte, it was a Greg's call. You called me all the time.
Speaker 1:Thank you, you called all the time yeah, no, no, no, that probably was. It probably was a sales call.
Speaker 3:But I think what solidified this as actual friends is when we went to a party at El Macombo.
Speaker 1:Oh right, Right back this is a couple years ago. When they were nipped after party.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was after party for Lyft.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was a Lyft after party. You got it. It was Sarah and Sean.
Speaker 3:Yes, yes, and we get there and I don't think you knew it was a ticketed event. So we get there and they're like where's your ticket? Right, he's like ticket. I don't have a ticket and I was like dude, don't worry, I got you one, greased them in Boom.
Speaker 2:No, I got an extra couple extra tickets for them. I was like Watch out for the homie.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know A1 since day one. Yeah, no, that was a good memory.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we'll run it back to. Just for those who don't know, greg is, yeah, obviously our homie. He's got a really dope dog.
Speaker 1:Thank, you yeah pitty Micro bully.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's right, micro bully, and he's also the national key account manager. Hey, nice At Mira Cannabis. Thank you, my homie's over there so very excited to have Greg they supply our RSO.
Speaker 1:Well yeah, pretty stony, our Rick Simpson, little baby.
Speaker 3:Slapper, no copper.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, we were just saying like important product it is.
Speaker 2:This is for the pop buddy.
Speaker 3:Oh you guys shouldn't have.
Speaker 1:Oh, my God dude, oh awesome that is so sweet I can't wait to make videos with him.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, you should see him he goes nuts. I've never seen one with two before.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like a special Halloween edition or whatever.
Speaker 3:Jeez, I like it, man, this is awesome.
Speaker 2:Thank you, guys, you're probably really strong actually when I think about it, because it's like tons of muscle.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, dude, third dog I've ever had. I've had a Doberman, I've had another bully breed, 50, 60 pounds and stronger than both those dogs, wow yeah.
Speaker 2:That low center of gravity? Oh it's insane.
Speaker 3:It's like he's in four by four.
Speaker 2:He's so chill though, yeah, like his dad. Sorry, you were saying something, buddy.
Speaker 1:No, just Rick Simpson. I know it was amazing and I love selling it because it's like oh, it's a unique product. Yeah, it's something that carries a lot of like medicinal properties in my opinion, and we're not allowed to talk I can talk about on the podcast. Actually, this is not like I'm on the showroom floor, so no help, canada.
Speaker 3:Don't you love selling Rick Simpson oil? Oh, to be quite honest, I call it the Swiss Army Knife of Cannabis product. Right, you can eat it, drink it, smoke it, dab it, mix with the cream at your choice. Literally does it all. Gets you fried, it makes you feel good. I love Rick Simpson oil?
Speaker 1:Yeah, a thousand percent. I remember the Oreo. I like that technique. I think you told me that like two clicks you put on, you take the cream off and then you put it on the on the white part of the Oreo and then you sandwich it back together. Oh yeah, it just kind of is like a quick little infusion and really helps cover the flavor and 100% bad, but it is like extra weedy I would say it is a weed, yeah, yeah, as the natural terpenes that stand through or stay intact throughout the process.
Speaker 1:Thank you, thank you very much. There you go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I usually have like north of 10, like 15, 10 to 15. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Around there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I actually I frequently use that product. I don't know if you know this. I have a fire gummy recipe. I make a cherry cola gummies, what. I think they're pretty cute and if you put two in there they get you pretty f**ked, but they're great for bedtime. I've got it like nailed down. I can almost like recite it from the dome.
Speaker 3:Okay, that's dope. So, like, what do you do? Do you like make your gelatin and put a couple of clicks, or how do you do it's?
Speaker 2:pretty cheater. Yeah, you need bolts. Okay, you definitely need bolts. I just gotten new ones that are kind of like pearls were undecided. I like them more. I don't know if our show runner does, but I got bigger ones that are almost like a mini, that are almost like a mini Reese cup About. Yay, big Jello, you need gelatin, gelatin, then Jello, and I actually had pectin and this was something I had to play around with because they were too firm and weird. And then you fucking whisk, whisk, whisk in that Rick Simpson, all that is hard to navigate with because it's so goopy and sticky and like I remember sometimes I'd be like making it and you got like Jello everywhere. And then I'm licking the Jello and then I'm like whoa fuck, I'm just throwing this fuck and like you know what I mean. But yeah, they're fire. And then you get the cola syrup that you would put in like a soda stream.
Speaker 3:Damn, this is in town, so I like this.
Speaker 2:It's way easier than it sounds. I will share the recipe if anyone wants to know. They're fire. It's key to cure them after two. Once they've sat in the mold, you take them out and put it on like a chicken rack or whatever, and leave them in the fridge for like 24 hours before you roll them Like a baking rack, right. Yeah, like a cookie rack exactly.
Speaker 1:And don't you put.
Speaker 2:You put like citric acid on the outside as well you need. Yeah, you put a little bit in which I help.
Speaker 1:I think Like make them sour. You know what I mean, yeah you need the sour tart.
Speaker 2:You put a little bit in there too. I think it helps activate the pectin.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 2:But then with your sugar crystals on the outside, definitely some citric acid.
Speaker 3:Damn kind of gives it that zip the zippy-doodle. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you do those and you're fucking they were great.
Speaker 2:I really enjoyed them. Yeah, I enjoyed making them.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah, next time I'll make some for you. Oh, also buy the RSO, let me know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Still hard to use, though, oh yeah, but I like the product.
Speaker 3:You know what I will say this starting 2024, we are switching to a syringe. Oh, okay okay, good, and if you are worried about that taste, we do have the RSO ICI that's coming out, so it's gonna be like an RSO but with like a mint taste, kind of mask some of that.
Speaker 2:Just like fired under your tongue type of guy.
Speaker 3:Exactly so. You know some people are like oh, you know, I love the RSO, but it tastes too much like weed. Like you know, I like that about it. I love that. Yeah, like I like to taste the weed, like sometimes I'll pick, especially when they're flowering, like when I'm picking off like little buds that are gonna stay around for flower and they're just draining up the plant's energy. I'll take them and I'll just put them in my mouth just to be like hmm, that tastes good. Oh, wow, this is gonna taste fire. Like you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's so many benefits to eating RSO, from my understanding too, so I kinda wanna know that.
Speaker 2:I mean, like I've heard this story, but do you know the story? Like, who is Rick Simpson? Ooh, oh.
Speaker 1:We're gonna have to check it out on the spot, on the spot. Me, right now, I don't know. I don't know either.
Speaker 3:Like he was wrong, it was the 15th of December. No, I mean, I believe Rick Simpson. If I remember the story correctly, Rick Simpson invented RSO for cancer patients.
Speaker 1:I believe that's right. Yeah, we'll fact check that, but I'm pretty sure that's right.
Speaker 3:Yes, and he actually put the recipe online. So if you couldn't afford to buy RSO from somebody and you had a whole bunch of plant material lying around after your grow, or you know you're trimming or whatever, a friend hooked you up, you can make it at home.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like here's the recipe. Just use it medicinally.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was all for knowledge based, and you know the love of cannabis and the power of the healing plant, like what's more noble than that.
Speaker 1:to be quite honest, right, it could be wrong, but I think like the most basic way is like a hot plate and alcohol. I think it's like a tincture, right? Yeah, basically, it's nothing you can get down on a very low heat and you cook all the alcohol out until it's like this little weed tincture probably strain it and boom that's pretty much.
Speaker 2:I didn't mean to put you on this flat buddy. No, I'm also. I mean it's probably up in the air, but what's the opposite of metastasize? Anyway, it does that to cancer, if I'm not mistaken, right, mm?
Speaker 1:So they say some people.
Speaker 2:yeah, it eats it up, it shrinks. But I mean again, I can't make the statement like blindly, but they say some might say Some might say Like Tommy Chong, there you go Rick.
Speaker 1:he might say that he might say that.
Speaker 2:It happens to do something right.
Speaker 1:Like I don't know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, I don't know. I just again just bring me back to an interesting story. I won't say who, but someone who was in on early days of legalization mentioned like a kind of eccentric doctor coming in and talking. It might have even been Rick Simpson or something, probably not, but anyways, basically saying, like I'm a doctor, we don't prescribe this shit, but this happens to work and it's very puzzling to us, so we should look into that more. And he was like, well, never really gonna happen, not anytime soon. But anyways, again, this is not medical advice for anyone listening, but I am not a doctor. Yes, yes.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 1:I went on TV, though how did I don't even know. Like, how did you get your start in cannabis, greg? I don't know. Man, there's, that's a meatball for you.
Speaker 3:You know what? It's a long story. It depends. Like we talking about legacy days, are we talking about when we gonna start?
Speaker 1:Where we wanna start. Man, All right, you know what? I'll tell you this Because I know I kind of did some research. I know you were like us, you did some ski instructing and snowboarding instructing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I lived that snowboarding lifestyle. Yeah, okay, I started skiing when I was three, snowboarding since I was like nine, instructing since I was 16.
Speaker 1:So I just can see that and selling weed going hand in hand oh it goes hand in hand.
Speaker 3:I used to have a scale like, especially when I taught, like some of these people that come up On the hill, yeah, I would teach people. And they'd be like I'm like, hey, you smoke weed. And they'd be like, yeah, I'm like, do you wanna buy some?
Speaker 1:And I have a scale and like an ounce on me, dude Like this is Ready to go.
Speaker 3:Ready to go at all times. Man, it was great, dude Blue Mountain. There's never any cops Like who's gonna buck a kid on a snowboard Just because you staffed too.
Speaker 1:That makes sense.
Speaker 3:I work here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was supposed to be here. We're good.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah makes sense to me 100%. So I guess what started me with cannabis, just in general, is snowboarding lifestyle right, listening to hip hop music and rock and roll music and alternative at the time, like Limpisk and stuff, right, right, you know kind of in like watching movies, like we're heavily cannabis influenced, like I was watching like Cheech and Chong at a young age and I was always fascinated by this plant. I was like I have to smoke this, I have to smoke this, I have to smoke this plant, I have to Right, it looks so much fun, it looks interesting, I wanna smoke it so bad. And grade seven rolls around For some reason. I was like I just feel like my dad might have weed you ever had that feeling when you're young.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, my mom had weed.
Speaker 2:That was the whole. That was my first.
Speaker 1:So stirring. I lied to my mom the first time I smoked weed was. I said that I had. I was like, yeah, I smoked weed. We were at a cottage. My mom was like, yeah, cool, here you go, smoke it then. And then I was like and I didn't inhale or whatever. You don't know how to smoke weed. She's like do you want me to teach you how? No way, yeah, are you serious? That's it. I had my mom for the first time.
Speaker 3:She was dope. That is the coolest mom, but you know pretty funny.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, with like another kid about my age and a friend of hers. It was like, yeah, and I guess it was like in controlled environment. I expressed interest. I was curious, 100% I don't know. I had like two puffs and got pretty baked, I remember that Dude.
Speaker 3:That's insane. My mom was so like not about weed, like ever. Oh yeah, my pops had the stash, my dad had the stash.
Speaker 1:I was like it was weird Sorry. Yeah, I didn't mean to cut you off.
Speaker 3:I mean that's way cooler than my story. I wish my mom smoked weed.
Speaker 1:I wish I was smoking weed dude, so you had the feeling.
Speaker 3:I had the feeling, ok, it was like the weed was calling me right. I was just like I have a feeling it's there. You know he has all these cool knives and like lighters in there. Like why doesn't he have like army knives, which are knives or whatever? And I was like I thought that was cool at the time. Where did he keep his weed?
Speaker 1:In the sock drawer, in the sock drawer.
Speaker 3:I opened it I found a cigar lighter or, sorry, a cigar case, like a cohebo, ok, and I was like this might be in it and I shook it. Oh here's. I'm like, oh, omg, that sounds too like to be a cigar. I crack it open and I find like the worst rolled pinner. But it's like I found, like Elantis, I was going nuts, I was like no way. So I hop on my skateboard. I go to my boy's house at the time One of my friends had a half pipe in his garage what? Yes, a lot of people like, a lot of people, like kids in my neighborhood go to hang out. Yeah, hang out, right. And you know they were interested in smoking weed too, because skateboard's no more lifestyle, right. And I got there and I was like, guys, guess what? You're not gonna believe it. They're like, yeah, what what? I'm like I got a joint. I got a joint.
Speaker 1:Oh my God.
Speaker 3:Everyone stood up with a large smoker. But, dude, I'll be honest with you, maybe I didn't know how to inhale. I didn't get super high my first time, I didn't. You know, I didn't have like the old, like whoa. And then after that it just kind of started kind of like rolling into a snowball sort of fact. I just started, you know, smoking a little more weed. Here we had my buddy, his older brother was in high school. He would score us some dope, you know. And then grade nine hit and I started selling dope at high school. Man, there you go, show up to something called the pit, a couple of grams in, you know, half ounce, one ounce in your back pocket. But you had to be smart, right? So when you were slaying dope at the pit, there was like security that would come and book you because we were smoking dope and cigarettes at the pit. We should have been in high school, yeah, yeah, so we would. You know, you'd put a couple like we called them, you know, dimes back in the day. Point sevens, never.
Speaker 1:Point sevens. Point sevens disrespect the little bags like dice on them little diamonds or spades or whatever. Yeah, which? One was your favorite the dime baggie. Yeah, what a logo. Oh, that's a good question. I think the cherries. Cherries were fire. Cherries were fire Cherries were fire. Little Pac-Man cherries, I guess I don't know.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I like those. So you had to put like your stash in like a bag of candy or like halls or whatever and you disguise it because, just like, put the halls on top and then the grams in the bottom and then when you get lunch or skip in class, I don't suggest anyone skip school, school kids. Yes, right, and yeah, when people rolled up, just fucking chop them and boom, and then that progressed to college. Where'd you go to school? I went to school at Georgian College ski resort operations. Oh no shit.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, you guys want to learn how to do a 725-40 snowboard tricks?
Speaker 2:I'm your guy there you go yeah, it's pretty like next level. It sounds like a lot of spins.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, it's like two full rotations.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's pretty gnarly. Yeah, nice, Okay, I'm catching it. Man, you were like, how can I turn the ski life into a full time? You're like I'm going to go to Georgian College and be like, yeah, run the ski hill. I'm going to be like general, manage the whole fucking resort or whatever Exactly. I'm like, yeah, when did you like realize like fuck that, I don't want to do that?
Speaker 3:You know what? I just to be quite honest, you making more money selling weed? Well, no, you know what? To be quite honest, it was always kind of like just something I did on the side, always Like it was just extra money, right. Okay, all right, I still wanted to do other things, but what actually ultimately happened was I was at the Badlands Snowboard Park Shots at the Blue Mountain, and it was having a good time. It was a really like kind of hard pack day. Snow is just zipping right and they have something called like a booter, which is essentially this huge snowboard jump I would say the big one. The takeoff is from your floor to your ceiling, maybe a little higher. It's 60 feet of flat and then it drops down right. The mound that you dropped down on is like the size of a small home. It's like a huge mound of snow right. It's terrifying.
Speaker 3:Yes so I was trying to you know hot dog a little bit. What's hot dog?
Speaker 1:I know, show off, show off, show off. That's hot dog. I don't know. I haven't heard that. Sir. Everyone's looking at me like crazy. You know what I'm gonna get you you have your snowboard.
Speaker 2:I love little lingos and isms. I don't know I pick up on them.
Speaker 1:I have an ice skateboarded like twice Snowboarded. Snowboarded, yes, twice, and my bum really hurt and I never did it again.
Speaker 3:You know what it's because you gotta have the Don Cron teach you. This year we're going to both of you guys, all right, there you go.
Speaker 1:Sure man, all right, I could enjoy getting out in the pot, yeah it sounds great.
Speaker 3:Yeah, dude, it's fun. So I was hitting, I hit the jump and I flew. I took off, dude, I overshot the 60 feet of flat and then I landed somewhere, like so you're 60 feet, you wanna land on the down part right here? Okay, I landed at the flat. Okay, I overshot this thing. Oh, dude, it was like so when you land on the thing, it's not like it's not that it's high but it's not that high right, but when you land over here it's a serious drop.
Speaker 3:I did that. My knee bent in toward the side. Acl gone, mcl gone oh man, this is bad. My patella shaved. Now I basically had to do like three knee operations. That's fucking crazy.
Speaker 3:Learn how to re-walk again. Yeah, I will say, though you know, talking about RSO earlier, my knee does swell up. I mixed a little bit of that RSO with the cream. Massage your right and the knee Relief Topically. Yeah, relief is insane, dude Like, yeah, I don't like taking like Tylenol and stuff like that, or rather not Rather drink of water or something.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, don't, man, that's crazy. I didn't know that injury about you man. So that kind of is like yeah, it's the same pretty much. I did your snowboarding career, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't get me wrong, like you're gonna go with me and do the bunny hills or whatever, but you're not doing this triple diamond. Oh, I'll still do that, you will. Okay, you don't like it? There's no crazy jumps.
Speaker 3:Yes, exactly, yeah, I mean I have to. I did get like a pretty expensive knee brace, I'm not gonna lie. So if I do need to go, make it happen. Yeah, like, don't get me wrong, I still got on the board Like I was snowboarding like the next day, but like, dude, in so much pain, I had to go. I didn't know what happened. Are you serious? Yeah, so what happened was when I tore it. It was weird. I went and I was like, oh, my, first of all, I almost passed out from the pain and then I got up and I was just kind of like okay, I'm gonna walk this off the adrenaline.
Speaker 1:Right, I'm gonna walk this off. You got an old guy holding you 19, 18.
Speaker 3:Yeah, okay, 18, 19. And I was gonna walk this off. My buddy Cody had this dope chalet. His parents were never around on the weekend.
Speaker 1:So it was like a shadow Got a Cody here. Yeah, dude, he had like parents are rich.
Speaker 3:He had like a million, million and a half dollars chalet. This is like early 2000s, so that was huge. Yeah. So we be like yeah, this is his chalet. So it's like, how did these 18 year old's kids have this dope ass pie? It was three levels dude. Like it was like insane. And we went to his place cause we'd always drank and his dad had booze and didn't really keep an eye on the liquor. I hear you.
Speaker 3:I hear you. We started partying and my knee was just getting more swollen and more swollen. All right, and then you know what? I had a few wobbly pops, started feeling nice and I try to dance. I'm a dancer, I love to dance. I don't know what it is, I bust a move, I cut a rug I don't know what the cool kids say, but I do all that. And when I did the jump up a jump up, I get down it redid what I did earlier that day, making it even worse, and I dropped to the floor again and I was just like okay, it's fucked, this is gone.
Speaker 3:They took me to the hospital knees the size of a grapefruit. The doctor looks at me and he's like ah, don't worry, I've seen this a million times, I'm gonna drain it. I'm like dude, this is not something I'm like I didn't want to be like questioned. His doctorism or doctorish, doctorish, I don't know what you call it. His professional opinion Right, medical degree, medical degree, thank you, yeah. So I was like all right, well, you know, I guess. And he's like well, you've been drinking right. And I'm like Mean, yeah, he's like I smell the booze on. He's like well, you know, I can't give you any anesthetic? You're gonna have to do this. Right, you have to do this Sober, I guess, and I'm like, okay, so he's gonna drain him.
Speaker 3:Cool, he pulls out this needle. I swear to God, it was this big. That's terrifying. I'm gonna drain my knee with this thing. I'm expecting like a little needle, like a little prick, and maybe it drains out, like you know. I mean, like you know, no dude, this guy shoved this needle in my kneecap underneath it. He's trying to pull stuff out. Nothing's coming out, nothing. No blood dry. Because he's in the knee, like he's actually in my kneecap. He thought it was just like pus, build up or whatever. You try and drain nothing. He's moving it around. I mean I can feel it. I'm like get that needle out of my knee. He's like pulls it out. He's like, yeah, I don't think I can drain it.
Speaker 1:No guff. So, oh man, I hold that right there, we're gonna smell. We got a hash hole. There's like some some triangle oh black triangle rosin with some drip station flower. That's what we're smoking, so let's check that out. We'll be right back with Don Kron. Don't forget, she's the official sponsor.
Speaker 2:We back. Shout out to hammer town hash heads hammer town hash heads with the fire.
Speaker 1:Black triangle live rosin. It was an early joint voice. It was an early joint, you did wonderful joint.
Speaker 3:It Was delicious, burnt for a good time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the flowers from, no, the farms, I believe. Oh yeah, no the farm called drip station. Drip station, yeah, it was very good. Oh yeah, we back. We were kind of want to get into growing, I guess, and what it means being a home grower to you, and you know when did you start growing? Um.
Speaker 3:That, oh yeah. So I started growing the way I feel like a lot of people started growing. They found some seeds and we Really.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, you found me just back seat and back seat back seat bed.
Speaker 3:You know there's a good chance to be a female, there's a good chance to be a male. It's a gamble, right. And I know I have one little plant and I got a pretty big. I put it was young, I was like maybe 16 years old. Oh shit, yeah, 16 years old. I put in the back of my parents garden and it was an area where I didn't think they really would check on it. It was kind of behind some shrubbery. I was like I can grow here, they won't notice it. No, not at all. So it got like almost to like huge. You dig it.
Speaker 1:I know I.
Speaker 3:Do? I was like 16 and realize this. You know, we just kind of like cheese. I was like I don't know, your parents just thought you were a big joker man. Yeah, they didn't think I was smart.
Speaker 1:They're like.
Speaker 3:Look at this guy, I mean the one did they?
Speaker 1:catch on, like when to start a flower, no, not even that.
Speaker 3:It got like. It started to veg and then again it got huge. I guess my dad was like watering the the shrubs and he like kind of looked over and he's like Instantly tore out of the garden came. He was like, is this yours? I was like I have no idea. Right, I have no idea who that is, sir, damn yeah.
Speaker 2:No, I'll just tore it out. Even though you had the weed, did he ever find out that you jacked his little pinner? I?
Speaker 3:Feel like I mean I've said it like you know later on in life, but I feel like at the time I feel like he was like someone's still man, you know someone stole it.
Speaker 1:But who else is in his sock drawer? Dude, I got two other brothers.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know, I know that one right.
Speaker 1:Where are you? The oldest? The middle, I am the oldest, okay, oh, this nice trailblazer, the trailblazy.
Speaker 2:Geez Nice. Our first plant Got the fuddled yes.
Speaker 3:and then the efforts continued yes next summer the forest near my house and that's when I actually got some bud. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why I actually got some bud, and then it was like we were growing there every every other summer. And then when I moved to Blue Mountain, I had a couple clones I was able to start in, like my, my closet or whatever, and I brought those to Blue Mountain and I was growing weed on the hill.
Speaker 1:Oh, oh, damn yeah.
Speaker 3:No, it was never like you know. Just small quantity for four plants, maybe five, just got it around. Yeah, get some buds.
Speaker 1:I need some tips than that, because I got a little four Plant going on like a tent, like an AC infinity setup. Mmm, that's a wonderful tent, are you serious? It's a good one. Yeah, yeah, those are good right yeah, phenomenal time.
Speaker 3:I wish I had an AC infinity.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've been rocking it pretty hard. A Richard, the showrunner, helped me set it up. And then there's four. Yeah, we're doing the willies wonder. Hmm, we're in the first week of flowers. They're really starting to get like long, you know, yeah, starting to stretch, really starting to stretch baby, the, remind me what are you growing in like what's this substrate?
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I think it's just promix is really old promix and buckets. We've got these self-wicking Watering things in the bottom. Okay, so you know those planters, you know the ones that the constant, so in the roots are Grout, trying to go to the bottom. They get the water from the bottom. It like sucks it up.
Speaker 3:Yes, you're feeling.
Speaker 1:You're feeling up Like a train and suck exactly from the bottom like regular water, and then we're hitting them with some good nutrients right now and Nice what are you?
Speaker 3:using Advanced advanced is good.
Speaker 1:I like advanced yeah.
Speaker 3:I'm not gonna lie shots at the remote nutrients, oh really.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I like your brother's, your results. I beef some out, doesn't it?
Speaker 3:I like it, I feel, though my next one I do want to try is a crop salt, but you got to order from the States. Really, bring me a distributor cross.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it's heavy to ship.
Speaker 3:You know, it's like I don't want to deal with that. Yeah, there's a good chance that. Hey, it gets stopped, you know? Oh, really I'm not supposed to come over. Yeah, or something like that, or regulations you know, and all of a sudden it's just. It's a hassle I don't want to have to deal with.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's chemicals, yeah you're growing yellow.
Speaker 3:I am growing the Jello strain. Oh, that's pretty cool. Yeah, it's a cross of black cherry punch Jealousy and one of my favorites right in cereal milk.
Speaker 1:Okay cool man. Yeah, wouldn't inspired you to grow that one. It's like you know the story. There's a story on everything. Bob the seed, or somebody gave you a cut or you know what.
Speaker 3:Somebody gave me a cut and I found the one that I liked and kept it. Okay, All right. And this is the Don Kron Jello right. Literally smells like strawberries, like it's delicious yeah, it's funky strawberries. All right, next time. Well, that grow tent is finished. Dude, I've got a cut for you.
Speaker 1:Well, trade, yeah, yeah. What do you got they?
Speaker 3:I'm sorry, I don't know why well, he's one yeah the willies wonder man, do you do have a cut or did you do make it close?
Speaker 1:No, they didn't work out the first time and it goes too cold.
Speaker 3:We did it from seed these ones.
Speaker 1:We're trying to take some clones and it didn't work out. I have a suspicion it was because it was it was too cold. Yeah, you know, I you thought you did you your clothes. You keep them in the tent.
Speaker 3:No, so well similar. I also use a heat pad or heat mat. Sitting there, yeah, I keep them warm, I got to keep more, keep moist.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm thinking, I think, I think, we, we. I was fine with the moisture thing, but I think it got a little cold, so he mats. A good piece of advice. That's where I went wrong.
Speaker 2:Yes, how do you maintain like your optimal Set up in your setup, like keeping that humidity right? You got like some crazy gadgets or anything like this guy.
Speaker 3:So you know, I did kind of like the red green approach to that. So I live in. I live in like a small apartment and be real with you guys, a small apartment. So I have a three by three shots at the gorilla grow tan, shots at the Myers-Hardes row and shot us out to AC infinity. I do have an egg fan.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, that's fire.
Speaker 3:They're fire. I just I wish they had tents when I bought this tent. I can't want to get an AC infinity.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we got our set up from indoor farmer, I believe way online. Yeah, yeah they took care of us nicely. We got a really sick setup. It's a Self-sufficient pretty much man. Yeah, I thought the wicking and that it was great. I don't know. I'm having a good time with it. I was a little bit of helping my friends advanced nutrients. I Love.
Speaker 2:I love the red green reference. Sorry, you are Canadian. I want to hear about your setup because that sounds like a you know concha man. Yeah, so what?
Speaker 3:I like to do. First, you need, you need a few things, all right. If you want to have that optimal temperature, you want to have that perfect environment, you need air conditioning, all right, right off the bat.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you got to keep it cold. You have to have a humidifier and also a dehumidifier Especially Serious, right. So what I did, I bought like an actual air conditioning unit like the ones you attached to a window, and it kind of looks like our 2d2. So if it's meant to do like 400 square feet or like 350, right, I put it out, I put it like at the air pump, at like low, okay. And then what I did was I took sort of like an air vent that you see up here in your roof if you were to take that out of the ceiling and it would look kind of like a shower head, right. So I attached that to the sort of like a, that shower head or that sort of Vent system and I attached that to like a long sort of hose like an exhaust hose you'd use. I don't know the actual correct name. I think you got it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exhaustos.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and then I attached that to the air conditioning, ran that into the tent. So once you have your air conditioning set up, the trick is now how do you keep your air conditioning At perfect temperature all the time? How do you know to regulate it? How do you know that's not gonna prevent a?
Speaker 1:drying out, because air conditioning can cause drying to right Right. That's exactly why you have the humidifier good call out.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's got another pretty face.
Speaker 1:How do you fuck with? What humidifier do you use? What's the red-green approach to the humidity?
Speaker 3:So I have a honey wall, just like a nice honey. Well, always want to make sure, though You're always blocking the lights. So I like to take like the metal, like metal duct tape, okay, put over the lights, make sure nothing's kind of gonna mess up, and like the the lights offstage. But once you have the humidifier, do humidifier and your AC unit, now to keep it on and off you need a switch. So I always recommend ink bird, right, it has a regulator, right. You just run sort of like a like this wire attached to like some sort of sensor.
Speaker 3:You put that in like the canopy level, you know I mean, and then it regulates at your temperature. So you set it till it's a I have my 10, my 10, sent to like 76, 77. If it goes any higher than that, it kicks in, yep, right, and then once it yeah, once, oh, yeah, I want to drops back to like 75. So I do always a couple degrees, you know, I mean just to kind of keep it cool for a little bit longer. Yeah, exactly right, boom. So that's what I do keeps it nice and cold and you can get another ink bird for humidity and dehumidity.
Speaker 3:So, and with the ink bird for the temperature. You can always add like a heater as well, so, like in the winter time, if it's getting cold, right. What's great about the winter time, though, and you're growing indoors, guys, is it's basically not very human because there's all dry. We dry right at that point, right, so you just have to worry about humidity, where in the summertime, it's the opposite. Interesting, unless you were like having it in a perfect room itself, like. If you're growing in like a perfect room with already perfect temperature, then you don't really have to worry about that.
Speaker 2:But I don't have people's houses. That's like impossible.
Speaker 3:Yes, exactly. Like an apartment right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just do the cloth pots with the the like, what do you do? It will kind of medium use.
Speaker 3:I'm glad you asked. I've actually seen one promix.
Speaker 2:Are you?
Speaker 3:there's a lot of promix there you go, I do the butt chug too. Okay, yeah, that's how I fall to my plants. That's great.
Speaker 2:You're on point. Yeah, I agree, I'm on plants, really.
Speaker 3:Yeah, 100% no, it's great, it's great, yeah, I'll be roots right, so you want roots, and bigger the roots, bigger the fruits.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's it man. Yeah, no advice.
Speaker 3:It's great, let's have a light easy.
Speaker 1:What kind of light is it? I know it's LED. Okay, perfect, nice. How come? I can't remember. It's definitely LEDs. Infinity is another. You have an AC infinity light to, I do. I think I want the full setup.
Speaker 2:Hopefully you'll get results hoping for it, I guess that's low to no heat right LED 400, I think.
Speaker 1:The.
Speaker 2:AC infinity 400. I believe I'm completely novice when it comes to this.
Speaker 3:Did you get a grow 10 as well? No, oh, you guys should have got a grow 10 together and give did like a.
Speaker 2:I see a grow off.
Speaker 3:Oh, that should be a podcast. The next one, guys, that's not a bad idea.
Speaker 2:I have one more limited space, but I would love to. I'd love to just garden.
Speaker 1:Do you have any opinions on one? I should be like lollipopping them, really trimming them and stuff like that.
Speaker 3:Um, I would have to see your plants. How big are they?
Speaker 1:Come kick it. We got to come hang out stage or the end. I mean literally, I guess seven days and a flower maybe eight.
Speaker 3:Oh, okay, we started right just the fire.
Speaker 1:I feel like I just switched to 12 and 12. I guess okay, perfect.
Speaker 3:I would suggest lollipopping I'm sooner than later, because it does kind of take a little bit to like bounce back from that.
Speaker 1:Right, right, because you're not a bit yeah exactly. I have been kind of slowly. Like you know, some of the leaves start to kind of get yellow and it starts flowering, right, the fan leaves and the shit at the bottom, and you just don't need those anyways. Right, are you paid? Yeah, I mean, are you? Ph in your water Should have what we all, what you P, h, my, what?
Speaker 3:a Kennedy? Yeah, exactly, do you the magic number for me? Well, it's in a range of like 5.8.
Speaker 1:I have the meter one.
Speaker 2:Okay it's not a lot of low way. I again I don't know. I'm just thinking about drinking water.
Speaker 3:Yes, it is lower than water. It's actually the same pH as your saliva. I'm just saying so. It's interesting. So it's almost like the life of plant is like water.
Speaker 2:It's like drinking a bottle of this Sonny Very interesting okay what is it give it like more chance to absorb, exactly, it's just a slower. Yeah, it allows.
Speaker 3:It allows the plants to absorb the nutrients? Yeah, a lot quicker. So how do you go about pH in your water? So you know, local dispensary shot a go-to growers world on gear you have.
Speaker 1:Oh, I love growers world. Yeah, shots out growers world. Hey, yeah, um, you get some empanadas are on the corner. Oh they're fire.
Speaker 3:Yeah they are fire. Actually, they just had that not too long ago. They had this dope Street Festival that I checked out.
Speaker 1:Argentinian place? Yeah, can't remember the name of it. Oh, what is it, Anyway? So move on.
Speaker 3:Um, yeah, check them out. Get a pH up and a pH down. Get both, just in case you got.
Speaker 2:Joe Pies.
Speaker 3:Sorry.
Speaker 1:Go Joe Pies.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you gotta shout out our.
Speaker 1:Argentine Okay, yeah, go, joe Pies I.
Speaker 3:Like that. I've actually never tried that.
Speaker 2:They're never had no unreliable they're really they definitely compete with like a jumbo and I had a Rubin one there.
Speaker 1:It was fire too, but they do like the original. Yeah, they're good. You can get them to go or they'll heat them up there for you. All right, I guess we'll move on from empanadas.
Speaker 3:Huh, go world's, go world's great pH down, ph down now, anything in life. You can buy a cheap one, that's okay, or you can buy a medium one, that's pretty decent, or you can get a little more expensive one. You get what you pay for it, right. So I recommend doing a medium to expensive with a pH right, because the cheap ones break super easily and it's gonna be a pain in the ass to buy like Six pH meters every month, right. So you know, try not. You know you don't go overboard, but you want to get something pretty decent. You get a pH meter and you just pretty much put dry, like you know. Oh, I always recommend filtered water. Filtered filter water. Tap water in Toronto will.
Speaker 2:I like tap water here, but interesting you're probably right, but Toronto tap water hits different. I will fight over.
Speaker 3:Yo stop this Water. What it's like? It's different, it's like well wait, whatever tap water you've messing with shots out to blue mountain. What best tap water in Ontario? No cap.
Speaker 1:Or just drinking for drinking.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't know. Oh it's yo. Shots out to blue mountain, shots out calling would gang.
Speaker 2:I could believe that it's fire. Go try, I'll test, I'll let you know.
Speaker 3:trust me, I'll let you know, okay, um, yeah, ph it to six pH, is it six? Always add your nutrients in first cuz those could always throw off your nutrients right.
Speaker 2:Cuz Divide a different level of cities with the way you got like a drip dropper and you just fire some shit in there and then you have a dip test trip or whatever. This for yeah.
Speaker 3:I will say this. So if you are Want some to measure, I use like a syringe. That's my favorite way of like like kind of skiing out the, the nutrients.
Speaker 1:Yeah you, I got some ski dough at the plunger thing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, dude, that's what I do drop it.
Speaker 1:Bam always make sure that bucket. I got this nice bucket.
Speaker 3:I give it always a good stir and then pH your water and you'll even see better results. All right, cool, are you using any? I mean, you're kind of ready and flowered and recommended to use it all the way through, but using me like calcium magnesium?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did that. I definitely did. Did that in the earlier stages, for sure. Yes, so thanks for affirming that I'm doing some things right, killing it man. You know what I feel like water.
Speaker 3:I mean, dude, my first, my first plan got destroyed. So you know why you got to learn from somewhere. I moved to somewhere else. Now, next time you got, I mean you can always switch the new water. Now and I'll say this if you don't have it like a filter, like I'll say you're like it's paying the ass for me to fill up from like my fridge or something or like one of the, if you have like a jug or whatever, dude, what I did is I went and got one of those Brita taps, attached it to my top, and just do it like that. Flip the switch by the bang, by the boom 30 bucks last four months.
Speaker 2:Could you do jugged spring water to? Oh, of course, and that's just. I mean, yeah, that's a little. He's got the bougie setup.
Speaker 3:Oh, you got the, you got the good water, well, I don't know well, no, what to what? I don't know good water in the blue jug. That's always a good water.
Speaker 1:It's always a good water.
Speaker 3:It's always cold. Or you have the one that's fire, which is like the hot one. You're like, yeah, I'm making porridge and you ever fought any pests. Or like I mean outdoor, you're always gonna have some sort of pest issue.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 3:I would recommend diet even inside, dude I. I don't care what inside, outside, I'm putting dietimaceous earth on top of my plants.
Speaker 1:Oh, have some of that. Yeah, it's health. It's food grade safe. It like kills bugs but doesn't hurt humans.
Speaker 3:Yeah, shells basically crush, very crushed shells. I'm powder. When you do add that, make sure you're goggled up, you know you don't want to powder?
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, no.
Speaker 3:Yes, very bad for you to breathe it. Yes, yeah, no, no, no.
Speaker 3:And keep in mind and you always keep safe, because if you have fans going you don't want to turn your fans after you. Kind of like a Papa dust, exactly like. Was this a dust milk, like you know? Yeah, that'd be bad. What's it called again, sorry, dietimaceous earth Interesting. And there has been times where you know I've been growing. I would just get like a bunch of ladybugs. You can order ladybugs off Amazon woman there, yeah, throw them right on top. Get like a hundred of them like 30 bucks, like it's the best 30 bucks. Who doesn't want a bunch of ladybugs?
Speaker 2:So when would it make sense to like I've heard of Praying mantises for insect pest management? Fire those bad boys up.
Speaker 3:I mean I've never make sense, Come on, I mean that'd be a good TV show.
Speaker 2:They continue to grow to predator mice yeah, those would terrify me. They look scary ever seen one. Of course, they move really fucking weird too. Yeah, they're aliens and they'll continue to grow and I think they'll also like they'll like tear apart their mates. All kinds of weird.
Speaker 3:I have heard that. Yeah, animal planet confirmed it.
Speaker 2:Yeah that's dope. I'd love to see that in action. Yeah, man, what are your thoughts on sheesh?
Speaker 3:Oh, Definitely top five drinks in the industry, if not top two drinks in the industry, in my opinion. Love it. You know it's using using hash right phenomenal taste, great, you know. Hits it where you need to be Follow us at higher orbit.
Speaker 1:Follow a dunk run.
Speaker 2:Welcome back. Welcome back, that was a non session break.
Speaker 1:Stores closed. Yeah, we didn't take a session. I'm feeling they're at least owned from the donut hole. Like sometimes, that third segment gets trailing.
Speaker 3:So geez, yeah, I'm slop that joint right it carried.
Speaker 2:And then the sheesh kind of starts to creep up to, which is nice. It's great session in the sheesh.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, delicious combination, highly highly recommend. Absolutely. Go grab yourself a can?
Speaker 1:I got a funny question for you guys. What's up, you consider yourself a cannabis influencer.
Speaker 3:No, to be quite honest, I'm not like a Not too particular about that term. I just like to say I just a dude likes cannabis, totally. You know what I mean. I don't think.
Speaker 2:I would say you are though.
Speaker 3:I mean if.
Speaker 2:I Don't have to put the term the queue influence people to buy weed. I mean, I try Thank you, I appreciate that's a good point.
Speaker 3:I wouldn't call myself and I wouldn't go out. I wouldn't go out.
Speaker 2:You're gonna make content.
Speaker 3:I do make some content. Yeah, okay, you know, I just have fun. Right, I like to have fun with cannabis. I wouldn't be like if someone's like, what do you do? I'm like, I'm a cannabis influencer, like, you know what I mean, like, but they are some cool influencers. Shots out to some of my dope friends who are killing it in the game.
Speaker 1:Right, fair enough. You're like you don't consider yourself personally, but you're like it's not a term you'd like to own. But there's a thing wrong with if you want to own it, 100% got it. You know, I mean 100% got it. Yeah, that makes sense, but yeah.
Speaker 3:Well, I don't think you know, I just think I'm just some dude that smokes weed, like you know. I mean, and I just show people cool ways to smoke weed. I like to show interesting ways to smoke and we like on a skateboard or hitting like rigs and on a skateboard or in Cool various spots.
Speaker 2:I do like your skateboard videos. I like that. Yeah, that's cool. We got when I like miss skateboarding not that I skated, but I would hurt myself for sure. I just think it's cool. It always looks cool, Definitely. I feel like doing a smoking. Action is cool when you're or like a guy in a bike. Smoking is always cool to me too.
Speaker 3:I will say this how will we do one where you're smoking the proxy, pulling me on the skateboard? Well, I'm smoking the proxy, sounds, don't?
Speaker 2:know I'm gonna say don't put me on that I'll put me on a bike.
Speaker 3:Well, someone's on the bike hitting the proxy. I'm on the skateboard.
Speaker 2:They're both cruise. Okay, I'm not, I'm cruising are you? Down. Yeah, okay, I sound a board.
Speaker 3:I would break the proxy right and very down and what I'll do? Actually one person holding the proxy and then I'll pull myself. You slow down a bit, project myself. Grab the proxy after you're hitting it. And they continued hit it. That's just a fun way of doing things double slide yeah. Yeah, it's just fun, like now you're hanging out your friends, now you're filming cool content. To be quite honest, if anything, I would call myself a content creator. I'd call myself a creator before, before an influencer.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think it's important as an employer to do like you're trying to Decibitize, and I think you do try and do that so soon it comes like dabbing and yeah, I'll concentrate it's and Any comfortable on that side.
Speaker 2:You know they mean like rousin and shops with John, our boy. You were actually the first LP who shots out to we stick around.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, no shots out. The weeds grant first LP in the history of cannabis in Ontario To press rosin, and I didn't see anyone else in the country.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna say the country.
Speaker 3:I'm gonna say the country. Yeah, we're the first. I think anyone really did it after maybe.
Speaker 1:A couple of up Nurse did and I mean, there's it you know, it's a good idea.
Speaker 3:It's a good idea. All right, there's more than one wristwatch, there's more than one car. Good idea, it's a good idea.
Speaker 1:So what was the funniest story you kind of had doing not, oh my?
Speaker 3:god, okay. So I think I was in Ottawa, john and I were in Ottawa Pressing rosin. I forget what store it was. This is a couple years ago, maybe a year ago, and some person kind of wanted to go bang through buck and they.
Speaker 2:I don't want to do I do I name the LP? Yes.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay, or the product. Maybe you don't need to name the LP and.
Speaker 3:I don't know the product, I don't know. I don't remember the strange thing. I just know the fuck. I just know the. Okay, I'll see, really don't want to your oil. Okay, dude, we pressed it and it came out like blood. First of all, we pressed like a half ounce and this guy got like a point three back. I would have been upset. Well, here's the thing a lot of people don't realize.
Speaker 2:A couple grams right well so yes, average.
Speaker 3:So what about? What I would do is like I would get like a Cheap pound, like on legacy days. I get like a cheap pound for like 800 bucks 500 bucks right, like a stanky, cheap pink, because pink always add a little small, little yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and then I would press that chop the grams of flour rosin for, like you know, a profit. Yeah, do that all day, fair enough, you know what I mean. So you can get some good yields if you pick the correct plant, right? Yeah, the most thing that matters in your present flower rosin. Now I wouldn't suggest you guys go right out like dabbing flour rosin, yeah, but what I like to use flour rosin is, if I Go, if I'm gonna roll joint.
Speaker 3:Want to taste the essence of the flower I'll press and I don't want to make. I don't have enough to make hash rosin or you know, live rosin time. Exactly right like that would be nice one day.
Speaker 1:It would be nice. We can't be balling it out, wouldn't put Slugs of a live rosin and our dubs all the time, so it is like a nice hash variant.
Speaker 3:Exactly so. If you want, let's see you got some great flour like that drift. We smoke the drip station that we smoke. Let's say you're like oh you know what I'd love to do. I got a quarter to press, a half quarter, roll up a half quarter. I'm gonna add the lot of flour rosin to it, adds a nice little zippy-dee-doo dot a and you know, you're on your way. It's, it's nice, right? Yeah, and yeah, we're pressing rosin there for a minute. I forgot how we got on this topic.
Speaker 3:It was the craziest story, I think. Oh yes, so we pressed that. We pressed that weed was a point, for it Look like black tar for this guy like the fall.
Speaker 1:You're like I don't know.
Speaker 3:The same man Like oh, I felt bad and I was just like, like it was, like it was like a hundred dollar half-hounds, like it was not, like you know, it wasn't it was a complete swag.
Speaker 1:I got you.
Speaker 3:It was like. It was like it was like a hundred bucks including tax, maybe like you don't know, so let's just say it started with the tea.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we got you guys, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's unfortunate man. Oh, dude, I felt so bad. I try to like tell him like, hey, man, you don't want that. I'm like that's, I'm like you don't want to go for like super cheap, but it's gonna be way too dry. You want a per. You want like a really good humidity, like 62% relative humidity, with your cannabis buds beautiful, you know what I mean. You're gonna be doing like a flower rosin press. Yeah, I don't know if I'm frozen, oh dude.
Speaker 3:I didn't. I felt bad. I was all like do we press any extra that I can like throw in here for the poor guy? You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:We didn't oh.
Speaker 3:I felt so bad from, but there's nothing I can do. And, guys, and that's a thing, you can be a good flower rosin press. You could be a great presser, but that flower isn't good, it's fire and fire out, especially with, you know, the flower rosin.
Speaker 1:So I think you mentioned to you a joker's like Trying to get you to press Quarter pounds. Like dude, I'm only in the store for a couple hours, like backing you up a trip.
Speaker 3:Oh my god, I mean, you know what happened once the most we've ever pressed. It was in I want to say God rich, and it was a half pound. Some crazy guy brought a half. No, dude, it was half quarters. There were so many people we pressed a half pound and like half quarters and quarters. Oh yeah, dude. But you know, there'd be times where people show up with their homegrown and you'd be like and again they didn't trim it and it was just very dry and you go to press and you get nothing.
