Episode 9: Mike Jernigan- Peninsula Hydroponics

In episode 9, we get to meet Mike Jernigan, who owns Peninsula Hydroponics along with his wife, April. They are based in Hampton Virginia, which is on the coast. Virginia recently went from 0 to 60 with their cannabis laws. Residents over 21 are able to grow 4 plants on their property and commercial dispensaries are not allowed initially. This will give smaller growers a chance to dip their toes into the production side of things before the big money jumps in.Mike is very knowledgeable about many crops besides cannabis, and is a great resource for his customers, teaching classes in store, and sharing grow tips with those who will listen. Lastly, we touch on his experience as a victim of the "war on drugs," and how it has impacted his life.A bit of a longer episode, but when the good conversations are rolling, it's hard to find a stopping point!
