Greetings cultivators from around the world. Jordan River here back with more grow cast, perfectly balanced for your ears. Today we have good friend of the show, Nick back on the line. We've got all sorts of new episodes and new guests lined up, but I wanted to put this episode in here to continue our nutrient deep dive series, because it's a really good one that I have recorded for this episode and this installment of the nutrient deep dive series, we're focusing more on the cannabis nutrient lines themselves. We go all the way back to the history of fertilization and then the invention of modern fertilizer, all the way up to cannabis specific lines, like the ones we're all using. Now I know you're gonna love this episode with Nick before we jump into it, though. Shout out to AC infinity, the best grow gear in the game. Code, grow cast one five saves you 15% at AC infinity.com. They've got the thick, sturdy tents with the thick canvas and the thick tent poles. The best tents in the game.

Today we've got friend of the show, Nick from rooted leaf back on the line. We're continuing the nutrient Deep Dive. I know you guys love this series. What's up? Nick, how are you doing? Man, Hey, Jordan, I'm doing pretty well. It's good to be back here. Yes, sir. We love having you on and listen, today we are continuing our nutrient deep dive series. We're talking about basically the history of fertilizer and nutrient formulations. But before we get into that Nick big sale, do we? Do we drop the big news? I mean, we're approaching 420 What do you have for us in terms of a sale this year?

I think we should. I think we should. Last year was a phenomenal success. Everybody at the order really came in and supported us quite a bit. So we want to thank everybody what we're thinking about doing for this year, for the order, is allowing people to place their orders a couple of days in advance of the rest of the coupon codes being activated. So we'll probably start on the 15th. You know, we can activate the Grow cast 420 coupon code so that people as early as the 15th can start placing their orders, and that coupon code will get you 42% off your order. It's the biggest sale that we do all year, and we want to give the orders kind of exclusive access to getting, you know, in the very front of the line, because we're typically pretty busy around, you know, the 420 sale. So it can take us a little bit of extra time to fulfill orders. But if you guys want to take advantage of the deal and get ahead of the rush, definitely use that coupon code. I think we're going to make it grow. Cast 420

so as you're hearing this, guys, it should be live grow. Cast 420 42% off your nutrients. This is the same thing you did last year, man. And people loved it. It's just good to have people be able to stock up. I'm sure it's good for you to refresh your inventory, move a bunch of product, and why not drop it on the best holiday of the year, the week of 420 so grow. Cast 420 that's grow. Cast 420 should be live right now for 42% off. Go and get it. Everybody, go and grab it. And thank you, Nick for putting that up early. Well, what's going on at rooted leaf? Are you guys just hunkering down, getting ready for this big sale and big rush orders.

Yeah, yeah. We've got a couple of really cool things that we're working on right now. Part of it is definitely, you know, revolving around the sales. We've also got a book that we're working on, and the book is going to basically contain some of the content that you may have heard me talk about on the episodes. Every once in a while, I may throw in the occasion. Original analogy between how plants operate and how car engine operates, or how a vehicle operates. And so I've been working on this for a couple of years, and it just seems like it's kind of a really, really strong metaphor. I think people who grow are naturally inclined to be a little bit more mechanically oriented, for whatever reason. So this is breaking down of complex knowledge of biochemistry. Plant biochemistry is made a lot easier when we can examine it from the context of like, hey, what does a car engine do? How does it operate? Versus what are some of the nuanced biochemistries that we're seeing in cannabis plants? So we've been working on that book, hopefully is going to get launched sometime in the beginning of May, and it'd be really we'll probably give the order a sneak peek preview. So if you guys are on the discord, I highly encourage you to check it out. If you're not on the discord, definitely make sure you get onto the order the cultivation discord. It will definitely be one of the best decisions you've made in your life.

Thank you, man. Yeah, that's right. People are really stoked about this. Nick already teased the table of contents in membership, like Nick saying, if you're a fan of his work and our work. You really should be in membership right now, because this is getting us very excited. Dude, you've talked about this before. You know this metaphor between plants and engines, but like, I'm just gonna really quick audience tease some of the chapter titles. I like this. Sulfur is the radiator. You relate calcium to the frame in the chassis. I like that. Potassium, the oil pump, fuel pump and transmission. Boron, the gaskets and seals. This is really cool stuff, dude. People are stoked about this book, and it's going to be free when you do release it, right? We'll get a sneak peek. We already got a sneak peek of the table of contents. We'll get a sneak peek of the actual content, but you're going to release it eventually as a free gift. I love that idea.

Yeah, and part of this is just like, you know, I see a lot of people trying to monitor, you know, this is maybe just like a personal belief of mine, but I feel like a lot of the knowledge that people are seeking out and they're striving to attain, it should be a lot easier to access than it currently is nowadays. I mean, with the advances that we see in technology and how easy it is to learn things nowadays, it's, it's kind of disheartening to me to see people out there trying to monetize and take advantage of what really should be, just like a global communal effort, like everybody should be trying to help everybody else to get to that next step in knowledge and to produce better results, as opposed to just trying to, like, make money on basic, you know, introductory level knowledge. And so, like a lot of times, you know the content that we discuss on the individual episodes, we're not trying to monetize those. We just want to put the knowledge out there so that people can get better results in the garden. Ultimately, what we hope to achieve is that people become inspired to go out there in the garden again, like really get involved with what your plants are doing. And if you understand the nuances of how the the compounds that you're applying to the plants, or the things that you're doing to the plants, to the plants might help them better express themselves. That's ultimately what we want to see, is people do better in the garden overall. So this is kind of, you know, an attempt for us to continue to share the knowledge, spread the love, and just get people super excited about how to garden and get the most out of whatever they're growing, potatoes or tomatoes.
