Ep.41 – FlowGardens Gorgeous CBD Flower w/Erich Maelzer & David Miller

EPISODE NOTES This week I have the pleasure of bringing you Erich and David of FlowGardens, a Tennessee based company that is cultivating the widest variety and highest quality smokeable "hemp flower" I've ever come across. I use quotes because calling this hemp does not do it justice...this is potent, high quality cannabis. The flower they're growing is rich with terpenes, flavonoids, phytocannabinoids and all checks in under 0.3% THC. Best of all, it's all perfectly legal under the 2018 Farm Bill that allowed for "hemp" production and can be derived right to your home. We discuss: * Tennessee laws, education and activism * Cultivation practices - hydroponic vs soil * Hunting for unique and quality phenotypes * Exploring lesser known cannabinoids like CBC and CBG * Runaway THC levels and the importance of cannabinoid balance LINKS * Website - https://flowgardens.com [https://flowgardens.com] * Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/flowgardens420/ [https://www.instagram.com/flowgardens420/] * Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064983035230 [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064983035230] * Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/CultoftheFranklin/ [https://www.reddit.com/r/CultoftheFranklin/] Find out more at http://edgeofcannabismedicine.com [http://edgeofcannabismedicine.com]
