## Resource

In this episode, I sit down again with Bryant Mason of Soil Doctor Consulting for a fast-paced, practical conversation on the fundamentals growers often overlook. We dig into low-tech monitoring tools, pH behavior in organic systems, water testing basics, under-canopy lighting, and smarter phosphorus and nitrogen management. If you want a grounded look at what actually moves the needle in cultivation, this one delivers.
