Before legalization.
Before tech.
Before anyone dared to say craft cannabis out loud…
There was Bob Cain and BigMike — two outlaw growers rewriting the rules from deep in the shadows.
In this never-before-told conversation, BigMike reunites with his original grow partner from 37+ years ago to reveal the wild, risky, and brilliant roots of what would become a global cannabis empire.
💥 From backwoods busts to brilliant breakthroughs — this episode is packed with real-deal stories every grower should hear.

- How they cracked the super soil code for explosive outdoor yields
- The counter-surveillance tricks that kept them steps ahead of the DEA
- Why cheap nutes = pretty buds with no punch — and what they used instead
- The “aha” moment BigMike discovered bioavailable nutrition = true potency
- How they used planes to find perfect, hidden grow spots
- Surviving multiple busts — and how those lessons shaped Advanced Nutrients
- The birth of “ooey gooey” flower and top-shelf standards
- Why loyalty, grit, and vision were more important than laws
