We also discuss how the /per year plays a role, impact of veg times, plant sizes, and plant count, perpetual vs non perpetual grows.  The second half of the show we discuss how long cannabis effective dose typically last in a range, and then we go into discussing how can we increase the staying power, or if that is even needed for most users.  we primarily focus on flower and inhalation of cannabis vs ingestion as a baseline but also include alternative consumption methods and how they can impact the end users experience and duration of the medication or "high" effects.  toward the end we field a question from chat that discusses the real situation in which many commercial products are using terpenes, from non cannabis plants and introducing those flavors into products, typically concentrates, vape carts, and even more recently seeing more infused flowers. we talk about the vast downsides, but also explore why this may be an option or the option for some.  we all share strains we feel lasted a long time and discuss some of the lineages behind a few of the strains mentioned on the list of long lasting highs, creepers and general flower that has longer then typical duration. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cheaphomegrow/support

Spartan also weighs in on the importance of advocacy, gives updates about Michigan and the laws, and highlights some areas who can act to make positive change for a greener friendly Michigan moving forward.  We also have a discussion about lighting and how much it has advanced over recent years, from rise in efficiency to lowering of cost, to improving fixtures footprints for better spread etc. All this and more, tune in to catch this weeks growing with my fellow growers. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cheaphomegrow/support
