Dr. Bruce Bugbee's Utah State University Crop Physiology Laboratory has been well-funded by NASA for many years. Dr. Bugbee has performed work on everything from pharmaceutical-grade food drops to precision cultivation under electric lights, but when cannabis became legal, several large growers started funding his lab to study cannabis cultivation. At about the same time, growers needed instruments to measure their cannabis grows, so they went to Apogee Instruments, which Dr. Bugbee founded in 1995. At Apogee, Dr. Bugbee develops custom cultivation instrumentation.
Dr. Bugbee's lab has some 44 growth chambers, so he had the infrastructure to quickly ramp up cannabis studies when the plant became legal in parts of the country. He also hired Ph.D. graduate students eager to learn the science of cannabis cultivation.
Cannabis is a new crop full of very strange claims that come from "heritage growers." For example, some growers say the plant requires uniquely high levels of phosphorus, and others believe it needs to be planted under the full moon. While he debunked both, to some extent, his lab is behind several discoveries, like how cannabis is uniquely sensitive to light pollution at night — of all the crops they have studied, cannabis is the most sensitive.
In this episode, Dr. Bugbee also discusses:
The science of cannabis cultivation and how it's improving every day.
How (and when) we'll grow cannabis on the moon, Mars and the space station.
His work building state-of-the-art environmental sensors and how it all started in his garage.
How, after studying crops intensively for 70 years, cannabis opened an entirely new frontier for researchers.

Dr Bruce crushes the bro science with real grow science! He’s an incredibly valuable resource. Excellent interview.
-
The GOAT of info, thanks Bruce your a legend. And thanks for inviting Bruce on the channel!
-
Saw bugbee and clicked instantly lmao
-
I would love to see chapter markers so I can jump to specific questions. Thanks for the content.
-
Dr. Bugbee, you must have lived a wild and wonderful life. What a job when I hear you talk. I can tell it is more than a job you love what you do
-
This was one of the most captivating interviews with Dr. Bugbee. Very informative and futuristic.
-
As a grower who just finished Bruce's Course - I would say the course is 100% worth taking, extremely informative. Bruce also brings in experts in many fields to teacher their fields. Highly Recommended!
-
Thank u David and Professor Bruce
-
Bruce is so AWESOME!!!
-
I listen to Professor Bugbee ever chance I can and enjoyed your interview. I only have one request, your volume versus his was annoying. Yours was bassy and had good volume, where as his was just low in volume. I am a first time listener to your channel, which, I will subscribe too! Thank you for interviewing The Professor!

What up Bruce I absolutely cannot wait to be in this industry once it becomes available in my area I been a cannabis lover my whole life.
-
I LOVE how he uses pure science THEN explains how that science is explained with FACTS! what a GREAT teacher.I think the guys who follow Bruce and i am one of them, grow better crops, my crops are almost perfect because of what hes taught me .
-
The best thing for me about this Video is when he explained when he gets his "Heureka" Moments,that they are allways when you let go and do not think about what you are actually want to acieve,that is a Principle which i hear that it works and to hear it from an older Man who has seen a lot is very convincing for me that it is true and very important to learn.
-
yeah... The master is back... Dr. Bugbee is probably the person with the most knowledge around led growlights and growing crops on this planet, period... I love listen to him...Greets from germany...

This was an awesome episode 🔥

excellent interview! thanks Dr Bruce!

In my late teens & 20s my friends and I would do shrooms, Isd, and ecstasy occasionally. Good times! All were positive, fun, spiritual experiences. But, it's been decades. I don't know anyone who knows anyone who can get psychedelics from. I live in LA & there's a Kush store three blocks from my house, but I can't function alone on weed. I wish they sold psilocybin gummies. I'm a little depressed & a little anxious on a regular basis. I'm not a big drinker and I hate taking pills. A bite or two of a chocolate bar, or a cup of mushroom tea everyday would be a godsent for me.

I'm a big fan of Dr. Bugbee, thank you for your work, greetings from Europe.

Love listening to him.
