Huckleberry Hill Farms: The Breeder’s Notebook | New Work, Old Favorites & Terps

Welcome to another Home Grow TV podcast / live stream - this episode, we sit down with Johnny Casali of Huckleberry Hill Farms for a deep, open breeder Q&A. We break down this year’s harvest, Johnny’s transition from legendary grower to breeder, and the real-world details that matter: breeding practices (reg vs fem), how to pick a male, how Johnny sexes plants, and what’s available now vs what’s coming next.

We also go terp-first on what makes Paradise Punch so special (no history lesson... just the nose, flavor, and what to look for). Plus: events in 2026, and exactly where to find Johnny and his genetics.

Drop a comment with your questions for Johnny, and tell us what strain you want us to review next.
