The Gardening Advice I'd Give Myself 10 Years Ago (Garden Talk #200)

In this special 200th episode of Garden Talk, the tables are turned as Rob from CLTV interviews me about my gardening journey and the lessons I've learned along the way. We discuss the advice I’d give myself 10 years ago, including what actually moves the needle, common mistakes to avoid, and how my approach has evolved over time. The conversation covers everything from watering, lighting, environment, nutrition, and plant training to harvesting, drying, curing, and breeding. We also dive into my current grow setup, managing multiple projects, and how life changes—including becoming a parent—have influenced the way I garden. This is the longest episode yet!
