Cannabis prod- ucts that pass the chemical residue and mold tests and also have larger percentages of cannabinoids will fetch a higher price and will sell more quickly. There is no bet- ter way to ensure a cannabis crop is free of chemicals and will produce a higher percentage of terpenes and cannabinoids than by growing it organically. “Organic” as a Buzzword There are too many companies out there using the buzz word “organic” in an attempt to increase their profits. These companies do not care about the environment or the sources of their so-called “organic” products; they only care about profits. The truth is, there are huge differences between organic horticultural products, the organic ingredients being used, and the sourcing of those ingredients. That is why it is so important for a cannabis grower to do his or her own research before purchasing any organic horticultural products. The qual- ity of the products being used in the garden will have a direct impact on the growth rates of the plants and the quality of the cannabis flowers. Dr. Earth: The Organic Company You Can Trust Dr. Earth is a company that has always taken organic horticulture seriously and continues to improve and 12 • Professional Marijuana Grower expand its product line to meet the demands of the modern organic grower. When Dr. Earth’s found- er, Milo Shammas, added living microorganisms to horticultural products, he completely changed organic horticulture. The addition of microorganisms essential- ly supercharges organic soils and fertilizers so that they rival the growth rates produced with chemical fertilizers. In other words, this innovation leveled the playing field between organic fertilizers and chemi- cal fertilizers. Thanks to Dr. Earth products, cannabis growers can produce abundant yields of high quality flowers without compromising the health of the grower, the consumer, or the planet.

When using Dr. Earth products, a horticulturist can rest assured he or she is providing the plants with the very best organic ingredi- ents available.
