[AUDIO only] Office Hours LIVE Ep 148: The Biology of Stress: Why Plants Herm and How New Sensor Tech Changes the Game

Cian and Jason return for Episode 148 to dive deep into the technical nuances of modern cannabis cultivation. This episode tackles two major "mysteries" currently buzzing in the community: why electrical conductivity (EC) sometimes drops during a dryback—challenging long-held grower assumptions—and the complex biology behind stress-induced hermaphroditism. The duo explores the transition from the legacy Teros-12 sensors to the more accurate Teros-1, explaining how improved data sensitivity reveals the true relationship between plant feeding and substrate concentration. They also answer live listener questions regarding PPFD levels for ripening and how to manage environmental "swings" to prevent crop failure.
