He's here to revisit vapor pressure deficit. That's right, we went into it last episode, but this time, we're diving deep. This is 45 minutes straight on VPD, what it's actually good for, how it's misunderstood, and how it can be a bit of a red herring to some growers. It's a great episode. I hope you learn a lot.

We love you. You're the you're one of the all time favorite guests. And weirdly enough, like art, we both got busy schedules, but it seems like we always find time around the New Year. You have the New Year's grow challenge every single year. And it's like year after year. I find myself around the holidays being like, Hey, you got time for a podcast? And then here we are the 2024, New Year's grow challenge about to kick off. First of all, how many have you done so far? Which? Which number is this?

This is the sixth New Year's grow challenge. Fifth or sixth? Sixth, sixth annual New Year's grow challenge. You're old, is what I'm saying. I know we're getting up there. Yeah, it's fun, man. It's, you know, New Year's Day. We usually wait for ball drop at midnight, and, you know, to drop our seeds right when the new year starts. Oh, that's fun. And everybody kind of starts at the same time. And we just grow together. We do different kind of things on the side during the grows, to have fun and to learn about growing. We call it the nearest grow challenge. It's really grow along. It's a way to bring new growers and you know, experienced growers together and share tips and tricks and get to, you know, support everybody through their grow.

Nice. Well, for the first time, listeners tell them where to go, obviously, Coco for cannabis.com. How to find the Grow challenge and then the side challenge you're doing? Yeah.

So you want to get in the New Year's grow challenge. You just go to Coco for cannabis.com. Forward slash challenge. You just click on the challenge button in the menu. Sign up. It's totally free. And this year we're sort of opening up different ways you can participate. So, you know, we'd like you to start a journal and tell us where you're going to be, sort of sharing your grow, whether it's there in the journal and Coco for cannabis, or a lot of people just want to, you know, post about their grow on Instagram. So they'll tell us what their Instagram handle is, or their YouTube channel or something like that. And then, you know, we all follow it around. We are all growing at the same time, and this year, we usually do different sort of side challenges. You know, we've done the party cup challenge a number of times. You've done the one cola challenge, where you grow like one plant in a specific way. This year we're doing a cloning challenge, so it's gonna be a little bit different. You know, the growth starts on January 1 and then on February 5. So just like 35 days later, we're going to have clone cutting day, where you try to take cuttings off of your plant and get them to root. So we're going to have some prizes for the smallest rooted cutting and the largest rooted cutting, and just have some. Fun. You know, get different people cloning in different ways and sort of showing it off. So, you know, if you've never done cloning before, this is gonna be a great opportunity to take some cuts, to see tons of other people, to kind of compare your process and to learn from a lot of other people doing it exactly the same time. If you have cut clones before, if you do this all the time, then, you know, try to take the smallest cutting that you can get to root, or the largest cutting that you can get to root, and, you know, teach all these newbies that are going to be trying to do it for the first time. You know, your your masterful methods. So that's really what the the Grow challenge is all about. We try to toss in some prizes there, but it's never for just sort of like being the best grower. It's, it's really about being involved and sharing what you're doing and being part of a community of growers.
