Established in 2017 by Jason Levin and Joshua Mezher, www.aPotforPot.com is on a mission to bring cannabis into the homes of gardening enthusiasts and empower the hobbyist gardener with everything they need to grow a pot plant from seed to harvest. Taking inspiration from a trip to a gardening store, the two developed a Pot for Pot as a complete organic soil grow kit for cannabis, including all the tools needed and a complete growing guide. Their Superb SoilTM, which combines 18 special ingredients and even playa dust from the Black Rock desert is specifically formulated to provide the plant with full spectrum organic nutrients that makes it as easy as just adding water, seed, and sun. They encourage their growers to choose cannabis Ruderalis for home growing because it is an auto-flowering, quick-growing seed that can have both high THC content as well as the healthful CBD cannabinoid.
