This week, I sat down with the legendary Jorge Cervantes (George Van Patten), a man whose books have influenced generations of growers over the last 40 years. Jorge shared the challenges of self-publishing his first book, Indoor Marijuana Horticulture, in 1983, and the dangerous process of writing books on cannabis cultivation in the 80s and 90s, when government raids and customs officials banning his books were common.
Now, after decades of pioneering, Jorge is turning his focus to the future of cannabis cultivation. His new educational platform is meant to be a guiding light in cannabis cultivation research, a place where experience and science collaborate to help evolve our understanding of the plant.
Check out the full interview to learn about Jorge’s incredible journey educating millions on the joys of growing cannabis and his plans for the next chapter in cultivation research and education.
