<p>This episode dives into the future of cannabis R&amp;D through real-world, crowdsourced product testing.</p><p>Chris from Ghostbudsters joins us to talk about running Athena Pro Line at 3.0 EC, using Fade in the final 7–9 days, and testing new formulations through Athena’s grower-led research program.</p><p>Alongside Jay from R&amp;D, Chris has been evaluating new PK formulas, Smokeability-focused products, and upcoming releases with controlled, repeatable runs.</p><p>The testing showed serious gains: more yield, higher THC, increased terpene content, and overall flower quality that checked every box. More importantly, this conversation highlights what the industry needs more of: transparency, honesty, real data, and growers willing to share both wins and losses.</p><p>Crowdsourced R&amp;D is helping us learn faster, improve products, and build the future of cultivation with the people actually running the rooms.</p><p>Listen now on Spotify or Apple Podcasts:<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5VrbpGbAE9JYn3I0Vo8zSy?si=3832d93785d14a5fhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/we-the-growers/id1620427747Follow">https://open.spotify.com/show/5VrbpGbAE9JYn3I0Vo8zSy?si=3832d93785d14a5fhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/we-the-growers/id1620427747</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5VrbpGbAE9JYn3I0Vo8zSy?si=3832d93785d14a5fhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/we-the-growers/id1620427747Follow">Follow</a> Chris on Instagram:<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/ghostbudstersfarm">https://www.instagram.com/ghostbudstersfarm</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/athenajoe/__https://www.instagram.com/saltsandleds/Produced">/Produced</a> by the Athena Ag Team.We The Growers Podcast Instagram: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/wethegrowerspodcast/Athena">https://www.instagram.com/wethegrowerspodcast/Athena</a> Ag Instagram: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/athena.ag/Visit">https://www.instagram.com/athena.ag/Visit</a> our Website: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.athenaag.com#WeTheGrowers">https://www.athenaag.com#WeTheGrowers</a> #AthenaAg #ForTheCulture</p>
