KTP #14 Scott and Sara Skamnes (@Scottolagranola, @Nursenthedirt, Soil Analysts/Consultants, Entrepreneurs)

Know Thy Pself

Scott joins me for a second time on the podcast (previously appearing in #8) with his wife and business partner Sara. They are owners of Crescive Soil (crescivesoil.com), and largely do consulting on the soil food web and interactions of microbes in the soil, in regards to cannabis horticulture.

Scott personally inspired me to take Elaine Ingham's online courses about the soil food web, and both he and Sara are incredibly well-versed on the subject.

We discuss Scott's upcoming talks at Soil to Sold June 22nd (tickets available on eventbrite) with members from Forever Flowering as well as Phylos Genetics. It should be informative to say the least!

The conversation spans from the fundamentals of the soil food web to some of the mistakes growers are making and some of the things they could do better to push their soil food web in a healthier direction.

We also discuss how grow lights can affect human biology, and how late-night shifts in the grow room can profoundly impact human health for the worse. We tie these hormonal effects of light in with circadian and metabolic rhythms of the human body, and even discuss time restricted eating and intermittent fasting. We go on to talk about glyphosate and its effects on both the soil biome as well as the human microbiome.

Scott and Sara are a pleasure to talk to, and their passion for microbial health (in relation both to plant and human health) is very apparent. Soil to Sold will undoubtedly be an informative event and I am sure will be well worth attending for anyone interested in cannabis horticulture, plant health, soil health, or the changing landscape of cannabis industry in the United States.
