Why Living-Soil Makes Better Solventless

The Wonders of living soil are endless. The amount of living things inside of a soil are vast and contribute to the expressions in plants. Especially when growing a plant such as cannabis, where terpenes, flavonoids and their expressions are key to a user experience.

Healthy Soil, Happy Plants: Just like we need a balanced diet to stay strong and healthy, plants need the right nutrients to grow big and strong. Living soil is full of tiny helpers like bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that work together to create a nutrient-rich environment for our cannabis plants. The rich biodiversity in living soil plays a pivotal role in supporting terpene and flavonoid production. As plants interact with a variety of microorganisms, they draw in a symphony of aromas and flavors, resulting in a more complex and satisfying cannabis experience.

Micronutrient Infusion: Living soil provides the plants access to an array of micronutrients which helps them create more variety of flavonoids, in turn, creating a greater flavor pallet. Just like a chef uses the best ingredients to make a delicious meal, the diversity of micronutrients & microorganisms enhances the taste and aroma, giving us a final product that's not just potent but also bursting with unique flavors.

Chemical-Free Indulgence: Unlike synthetic fertilizers that can be like junk food for plants, living soil provides a natural buffet of nutrients. This means our cannabis plants get the right vitamins and minerals without any harmful chemicals, promoting a clean and pure growing environment. This also allows the individual plants to intake the nutrients they need at that time, in the amounts that they require instead of being force-fed salt nutrients which can stunt true expression.

Terpenes & Flavinoids: Just as artists use a palette of colors to create a masterpiece, living soil provides the canvas for a dazzling display of flavonoids. These compounds not only contribute to the vibrant hues of cannabis plants but also bring unique flavors and health benefits to the forefront. Living soil also fosters an environment where diverse terpenes can flourish and elevate the sensory experience of our cannabis. The unique combination of terpenes and flavonoids not only influences the aroma and effects, but also contributes to the nuanced taste of cannabis, creating a multi-sensory experience.

The Obvious: Working with living soil is better for our health, our land, it reduces water and waste, and puts carbon back into the system where it is needed. The footprint and sustainability looks a whole lot better than other growing methods, and the results are more powerful. Though the differences are more obvious in extracts (esp. solventless), cannabis in any form is usually a better experience when grown in living soil. Not to mention, it’s more fun to work with! The plants look happier and if done right, we’re creating a closed loop system where all aspects of our operation are regenerated. (More on this later).
