Liner notes

This November 20, 2020 episode is indeed a return of the "Guru of Ganja," Ed Rosenthal, this episode dives into some deep "Outlaw Science" theories, specifically the OG Mutation Theory. The conversation explores how a single branch mutation on a patented or stable variety can create a whole new genetic path-a concept that Breeder Steve has also touched on in the past. Does a plant's DNA stay the same from veg to harvest? The Guru of Ganja, Ed Rosenthal, returns to dive into the "OG Mutation Theory." We explore how somatic mutations-DNA shifts within a single branch-could explain the origin of legendary cuts like OG Kush. Also, Andrew Iverson (The 14er) joins to discuss the commercial reality of spotting these "genetic anomalies" in the garden and the science of maintaining elite clones over decades. Plus, late-season harvest protocols and the history of the "Granny Smith" mutation.
