Florida is finding a creative way to fight water pollution, and it has potential to bring the state billions in revenue - cannabis growing.


According to the Herald Tribune, local entrepreneur Steve Edmonds has a theory that hydroponic cannabis plants could be the key to cleaning up 440,000 acre Lake Okeechobee.


His experiment — Florida Industrial Hemp Pilot Project — has been approved by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. According to the publication, Edmonds’ project: “aims to discover just how much of the two main nutrients that fuel toxic algae – nitrogen and phosphorus – can be drained from polluted water by cannabis.”


If successful over its 190-day trial time frame, officials believe the pilot could be “a game-changer” for Florida’s efforts to mitigate pollution.

The Accidental Phenomenon That Became Strain of the Year
 
Here's something most people don't realize about Super Boof: the name that eventually won Leafly's 2024 Strain of the Year wasn't even the breeder's original choice.
San Diego cultivator Blockhead created this Black Cherry Punch and Tropicana Cookies cross as "Blockberry" - a straightforward nod to his breeding handle and the cherry genetics. But as cuts circulated through California's cannabis community, "Super Boof" caught on instead. The internet loves what the internet loves, and sometimes a less refined name just sticks.
