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.

My guest this week is Dr. Carey Peters.

She is the vice president at J.R. Peters and the formulator of all products and development of

new fertilizer formulas that provide crop-specific solutions to growers' nutritional issues.

She has too many honors and accolades to list here, but I will put them up on the podcast page.

Carrie has a PhD in plant sciences and a master's of science and agronomy from the University of

Maryland, as well as a Bachelor's of

Science and Biology. She's the third generation of Peters in the family business, which was founded

over 72 years ago. Now on to the show. Hey, Carrie, thanks for coming on the show today.

Hi, thanks for having me, Tad. Yeah, I know you've been on before talking about J.R. Peters and Jack's fertilizer and some of the, you know, formulation process.

Today, I wanted to talk to you more about testing and lab analysis. So tell me a little bit about your lab that you have over at Jacks.

Oh yeah. Well, one of the things that I feel super lucky to be able to have here in Allentown

where we make our fertilizer is actually the lab on site. So like, you know, like I was saying,

you need to come visit, but people that have been there,

they always kind of say like, wow, this is unbelievable. Like in the middle of offices is this

laboratory. And it really is like the backbone of what we do to manufacture fertilizer,

obviously, to make sure we are making what we think we are,

but also to get like really data-driven information to growers out there, like any growers,

not just growers using jacks, but like people that are interested to see how their plants are doing

and how to improve and optimize their crop
