S4:E9 - Grow Lights, Punk Rock, & Award Winning Flower | Ghost Face Gorilla on Vinally High

Send us Fan MailOn this episode of Vinally High, Drew Beats and BJ Buds sit down with a very special guest who’s been powering the flower all season long—award-winning cultivator Geoff, the man behind Ghost Face Gorilla Grow. Fresh off winning Best Flower at the 2025 Crown Town Cannabis Cup, Jeff finally joins the show to share the story behind his craft, his journey through the cannabis industry, and what it really takes to grow top-tier product. The conversation dives deep into the science, art, and dedication behind cannabis cultivation. Geoff explains how what many people think is a laid-back job is actually a highly technical process involving controlled environments, pest prevention, sanitation practices, and constant monitoring of temperature, humidity, and lighting cycles. From multiple grow rooms for different plant stages to dialing in the perfect conditions, cultivating premium flower is a full-time labor of love. Geoff also shares how his journey began 15 years ago as a family effort, originally growing cannabis to help supply medical needs for his mother during the early days of the medical cannabis movement. What started in a basement eventually evolved into a professional cultivation operation built on passion, knowledge, and years of learning the hard way. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Vinally High episode without spinning a record. This week’s vinyl pick is Stay Asleep by Bigwig (1999)—a skate-punk classic that sparks a nostalgic conversation about the underground punk scenes of Florida, New York, and North Carolina. The crew reflects on discovering music in the pre-streaming era, local shows in unexpected venues, and the tight-knit community that defined punk culture.Along the way, the episode explores: The realities of modern cannabis cultivation vs. common misconceptions  Why clean growing practices and transparency matter for consumers  The balance between art and science in producing high-quality flower  The role of craft growers in shaping the future of the industry  Punk rock nostalgia and the music that shaped a generation Plus, listeners can participate in this episode’s trivia challenge for a chance to win a complimentary promotional pre-roll courtesy of Ghostface Gorilla Grow.Roll something up, drop the needle, and join the conversation as we celebrate great music, great flower, and the passionate people behind both.Follow & Support Vinally High📸 Instagram: @VinallyHighOur Guest:📸 Instagram: @ghostfacegorillagrowWeb: https://ghostfacegorilla.comSupport the show
