Welcome to the Cannabis Cautilance Podcast. I'm your host, Tad Hussey of KISSorganics.

This is the podcast where we discuss the cutting edge of growing from a science-based perspective and drawn top experts from around the industry to share their wisdom and knowledge.

Before starting the podcast, I did want to address one major change to the show.

I know I mentioned in the past about adding sponsorships

or ads to the podcast. I've avoided it to date, but with rising costs and changes to the economy,

it's now something I've had to revisit. Basically, moving forward, there'll be one to two short ads

now at the beginning of the podcast. We will also be adding to Patreon again with a subscription-based

model where for $5 a month,

you can get a link to commercial-free version as well as other perks.

Please reach out directly if you have any questions, and I guarantee the podcast content

will always be free and accessible.

Anyway, back to today's show.

Our guest today is Jeff Lowenfels.

I wanted to get Jeff, our very first podcast guest and old friend, back on the show.

Jeff is the author of the popular teeming series, teaming with microbes, teaming with nutrients,

teaming with fungi, and now his new book, Teaming with Bacteria, which he joins us today to discuss.

He also has a book called DIY Autoflower and Cannabis, which we discussed in an earlier interview.

Jeff is an extremely well-respected and popular national garden writer.

He is the former president of the Garden Writers of America.

Jeff has been a good friend now for over a decade and is a wonderful advocate for organic gardening,

compost teas, and the microbes in our soil.

Thanks for coming on the show, Jeff.
