Episode 225 - Jim Berry, Homegrown
Episode 225 is the 23rd episode of Season 4.
Jim Berry is the creator of Homegrown with Jim Berry and a longtime Michigan caregiver, cultivator and educator dedicated to helping people grow better cannabis at home. Through his writing with Fat Nugs Magazine and his work as a cultivation consultant, he has become a respected voice advocating for home grow rights and bringing practical, science-driven cultivation advice to growers of all experience levels.
His path into cannabis cultivation began through Michigan's medical program while navigating chronic health issues and the realities of opioid dependence. What started as a small basement grow quickly evolved into a deep passion for the craft and eventually a successful caregiver operation. After experiencing both the promise and disappointments of the commercial cannabis industry, Jim returned to the thing he loved most: teaching others how to cultivate exceptional cannabis themselves.
We discuss the importance of home grow, the lessons learned from decades of hands-on cultivation and why curiosity and critical thinking remain some of the most valuable tools a grower can have. From pests to soil to industry trends, it's a conversation rooted in experience and a genuine love for the plant.
