Alexandre Gauthier on Open-Source Cultivation & the Reality of Commercial Growing

Описание: In this episode of Behind the Grow, Eric sits down with Alexandre Gauthier, VP of R&D at Origin Nature, for an honest, deeply technical, and refreshingly open conversation about commercial cultivation, leadership, and what actually makes a grow operation successful.

Alex shares the real story behind his early growing days, how hands-on experience shaped his approach, and why transparency and team culture matter more than any so-called “secret sauce.” From SOPs and cultivation systems to lighting degradation, LED warranties, and why blind tasting matters more than lab numbers, this episode goes far beyond surface-level grow talk.

You’ll also hear:
• How Origin Nature built a culture around passion, trust, and accountability
• Why sharing cultivation knowledge strengthens the entire industry
• The truth about LED light degradation and what growers should be measuring
• Why people matter more than genetics, nutrients, or equipment
• How consumer behavior around potency will evolve over time
• Lessons for new operators trying to survive and stay profitable

This episode is a must-watch for cultivators, operators, and anyone interested in the future of professional growing and sustainable cannabis businesses.
