In this episode of Only Grows, we sit down with Jay Yokiel, Senior Technical Facility Advisor at Athena (also known as @SaltsAndLeds on instagram), for a deep-dive into the art and science of cannabis cultivation. Jay shares his journey from basement grows to running two commercial facilities, and ultimately shaping cultivation strategy across the country.
We cover:
• His philosophy on irrigation, crop steering, and spectrum tuning
• How he stacks EC and fine-tunes drybacks with Growlink's Copilot
• Experimenting with under-canopy lighting and spectrum control for massive yield increases
• Lessons from 30+ grow rooms a month—and the common mistakes he sees
• The strategy behind Athena’s nutrient simplicity and dialing in for rosin production
Whether you're a seasoned grower or a curious cultivator, this episode is packed with game-changing knowledge, experimentation insights, and a whole lot of passion for the plant.
Topics: Environmental control, under-canopy lighting, spectrum timing, facility workflow
