It was great to sit down with Ryan Parker on the latest episode of the Friday 420 podcast to discuss his journey from the medical cannabis days of Proposition 215 to his current role at Boveda (https://bovedainc.com/cannabis/). Ryan shared the fascinating origin story of the C-Vault, which his father developed after noticing his cannabis was drying out in a standard cigar humidor. This led to the creation of a stainless steel storage vessel specifically designed to protect flower from light and air while maintaining perfect humidity levels.
We also chatted about the technical nuances of the post-harvest phase, particularly the critical window between drying and curing. Ryan explained that curing is essentially a fine-tuning of the moisture levels where internal moisture works its way out to the surface of the buds. He emphasized that this is often the most “heartbreaking” time for growers because it is so easy for things to go wrong right at the finish line.
One of the most exciting parts of our conversation was learning about ViviCure (https://store.vivipacks.com/collections/shop-all), a new product designed to help growers cure their harvest effortlessly. We discussed the traditional “burping” process and how it can become a logistical nightmare as growers scale up their yields. Check out the full episode for valuable insights into guiding your post-harvest to the finish line!

Why Your LED Grow Might Be Falling Short (And How Rubisco Could Save It)
On this week’s Friday 420, I sat down with Damian Michalski, Chief Cultivation Officer and Co-founder of Evergreen Medica (https://www.instagram.com/evergreen.medica/) to discuss why the transition to LED lighting has been secretly killing grower yields. Damian reveals that he’s seen up to a 40% increase just by following this one metric. Find out what rubisco is and how you can control your environment to grow your biggest crops yet.

Buttheadz is Breaking the Stigma
When he started Buttheadz Grow Shop (https://buttheadzgrowshop.com/) in 2021, Erick Engelhart had a hard time finding someone who’d rent to him because the stigma against cannabis in Missouri was so strong. Today, their nonprofit Buttheadz Growers Club (https://buttheadzgrowersclub.com/) has donated thousands of pounds of vegetables to local food banks through their “Cans for Clones” program and community gardens. The club even hosts classes for the local Boy Scouts, teaching them gardening skills so they can earn merit badges.
Erick and I chatted about his soil company Buttheadz Living Soil which uses cotton burr compost and rice hulls from local farms. The upcycled waste is aged for three years and turned into high quality compost, giving it new purpose and keeping it out of local landfills.
Eric Englehart and the Buttheadz Growers Club are creating a brighter future for their community and inspiring us all to make a positive impact on others. This holiday season, please consider making a donation to your local food bank to help keep a family from going hungry.
*Food banks feed over 46 million people in the US annually.
