Welcome to the Cannabis

Welcome to the Cannabis Cultivation and Science Podcast. I'm your host, Tad Hussie of Kiss Organics.

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 wanted to let listeners know that I plan on adding more interviews

of growers this season, while the original intention of the podcast was I wanted to let listeners know that I plan on adding more interviews of growers this season.

While the original intention of the podcast was to bridge the gap between academic research and

real life cultivation, I've done a wide variety of interviews over the years, and I think it's

important to hear how growers are dealing with real day-to-day issues in their cultivation

facilities, as we don't typically get to grow under

perfect conditions and control for every variable. So while these interviews might be slightly

less scientific and may contain some personal experiences and anecdotal information, my hope is that

it will spark new ideas, research, and help growers deal with real-life scenarios that they

may be facing as well,

and grow the community. In the spirit of this, my guest this week is Matthew Butters.

I met Matthew when he emailed me and we started corresponding. I went to tour his facility,

which is about two and a half hours away from me, and after the tour, I decided I wanted to have

him on the podcast.

Matthew serves as the director of cultivation at Smokey Point Productions and Waypoint Ventures,

a prominent I-502 operation in Washington State.

Leveraging his expertise in cannabis cultivation, he has a rich history of successfully developing

and leading cultivation teams in various settings worldwide.
