Ep 1. The Rogue's Lair

Building Belushi follows actor and comedian Jim Belushi as he embarks on a new venture to build a cannabis farm in Southern Oregon. The first episode of the series, titled The Rogue's Lair, takes viewers inside the beginning stages of this ambitious project.

Jim and his team start by touring a potential property in the Rogue Valley. The land is vast and beautiful, with stunning views of the surrounding mountains. However, they quickly realize that the terrain is rugged and uneven, which presents a challenge for building and growing cannabis.

Undeterred, Jim sets out to transform this raw landscape into a thriving cannabis farm. He enlists the help of his friend and mentor, Chris Schwartz, who has expertise in organic farming and sustainable living. Chris demonstrates how to analyze the soil and determine the best crops to grow on the land.

With the soil analysis complete, Jim and his team begin the arduous task of clearing the land. They use chainsaws and heavy equipment to remove trees and level the ground. However, they soon discover that there is a steep boulder-strewn hill that must be dealt with. Jim decides to turn this challenge into an opportunity and transform the rocky hillside into a unique feature of the cannabis farm.

Jim also meets with a local architect to discuss plans for a state-of-the-art greenhouse. They discuss the benefits of using light deprivation techniques to control the flowering process of the cannabis plants. This will allow Jim to maximize his yield and produce top-quality cannabis.

Throughout the episode, we see Jim's passion and dedication to this project as he takes on each challenge with enthusiasm. He understands that this is not just a business venture, but a way to connect with the land and create something truly special.

The Rogue's Lair sets the stage for an exciting new chapter in Jim Belushi's life. Building Belushi promises to be an engaging look at the process of building a cannabis farm from the ground up and the people who make it happen.
