What questions do you have for the next Q&A episode?
what would be your ideal 5x5 setup? i think thats the size you run now. like tent/light/fans etc. growers choice or chill led? another would be is content creator your primary job now? or still supplementing with a day job, if so doing what. a grow room tour/update for 2021 would be cool too! love your content and podcast. i just ordered your book and look forward to reading it. i just finished Ed Rosenthals book, and youre right its a lot of info. almost too much. keep up the good work man! its awesome.
What do u do for gnats I use vinegar and water spray I haven't watched whole video yet so....lol never mind u covered it 👍
What my ? Is I think you said 7 mouths on the grow is that start to finish on your grow I'm about to finish my first grow in 3 months and got good size clones this time and what to start from seed next time?
With living organic soil, is it best to keep it a constant consistent moisture, or as with other mediums, is it better to let it dry out a lil in cycles?
Should we transplant into a larger pot at the end of vegetation so the flower cycle has something for the roots to grow into?
Also when can we expect some new in the tent hands on content? Miss those videos.
Hands down ,these question answer videos is where it’s at..!!!!!
I dig these Q&A series dude, keep em coming!
Agreed
Love Q&A videos
WOOOOO, Great Video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
100% way to get rid of fungus gnats place your soil in plastic totes and add 1 gallon of boiling water to the soil. The steam from the water kills all fungus gnats and eggs. Have not had a fungus gnat problem in over 3 years since learning this technique.
Wtf...pour boiled water into the soil!? Insect frass is alot safer.
@@nicholasgade2288 I pour the boiling water onto my super soil, killing all gnats and eggs, then I add a compost tea and then age my soil for 2-3 months.
That's a sweet ass LED light from MARS HYDRO
Thank you for bring on experts and sharing such valuable information in your 'Garden Talk with Mr.Grow it' channel. With fully loaded questions and all the various possible topics you cover in your channel, it seems like a one stop shop for answers on any possible questions any one from beginner to expert growers might have. I look forward to watching the new and going back and watching all the videos. Happy growing !
Many many thanks for your positive words! Cheers!
EXCELLENT episode on From The Stash today!!
Absolutely love the content man.. love rollin up some home grown nd watching ur videos and soaking up knowledge
Love your content, Chris. Your info has been priceless in my first grow!
Thanks
If you cook the soil in the oven prior to potting it kills all pest, eggs and larvae. Old hippie lifehack. Like 180° for just a few minutes .. i dont do this but it does work every time
I've found drying in around 60-70% rh is great hanging for the first 5-10 days then drying in large tuberware with lids half open at 62% to 65% is ideal then dry trim and go into jars or turkey bags to finish off. Dry trimming i've found is the best for flavor and terps :)
Yes you have more moisture than you have resin you can change that ratio with a UVB or CMH the last 3 weeks 4200 works good and maybe four UVB
If you are a new grower keep it simple, full spectrum led organic dry amendments and purified water...simple
What medium do you suggest?
@@saudade2745 soil like fox farm, roots organic, or any major aerated type. Will keep you good for a few weeks until later in veg
Besides myself..coming from a farming background.. decades of growing..had anyone besides me ever NOT used organic or cannabis specific nutrients for growing? I've even used 46-0-0..urea for nitrogen.. Considered it takes approx. 30 days to break down to be available to plant roots..basically agricultural grade nutrients for cannabis..I've had exceptional results personally
for fungus nats one thing I heard of is rice husks as a top layer
The Legend! Great content Mr. Grow It
Badass Mars Hydro Sp650. 👌
Really appreciate ALL of your content, man. You're awesome, keep that shit up. 🤙🏼
what you have to keep in mind when you're opening that to burp it what is the humidity in the room. For that air is going to get into the jar!! It's like leaving the butt on the table if your humidity in the house is 55 it will stay nice 60 it will get wet 50 or 40 it will dry out with all your trichomes
The Boveda packs are magical. They help bring humidity down as well as hydrating up. If you have bud that's around 65-70% the 62%RH pack will bring it down steadily and keep it at 62% (same for 58%RHpacks). Didn't believe it til I tried.
Good to have you back! was getting worried for a minute!
Great topics. Not sure if you'd ever be willing to speak with new growers or growers that only started because of youtubers like you, and what we have learned in the short year or two we have been growing. Could be a cool video.
looking forward to following your channel and your growing season
Ty
How can you get mildew you put a 20-in fan on the floor you put a reciprocal in front of it a 6 in Infinity blowing in not sucking out and then you get another one to suck out that's for a 5x5 you must leave the tent open when lights are on.. and then I drape a piece of mylar over the opening and leave 3 ft open on the bottom of the tent when I grow.. only water in the morning
as always great video . great info from second 1 to finish. please keep doing what your doing
Thanks Chris
Always appreciate your informative videos
Whats awesome is you're talking about stuff I was just thinking about 😎
Are you seriouth Sam? Why the photo with your head cocked to the left, that's you all's call call, right?
@@bobbybraddock1316 really old photo lol
This light is 💥🔥🔥🔥
In all science based hobbies. I say "take it all as a grain of salt, but there is benefits to talking to long time experienced growers, or aquarists" I love both these hobbys and in organic settings im becoming much more comfortable. I love the cross referencing you do, with so many variables, what works for one may not for another. Keep it real growers :)
quick trick, you can put a piece of ducting curled up with some polyfil if you want filtration, this stops light from coming into you intake opening.
Didn't skip the ad cause i love Chris A.K.A Mr. Grow It!
i use the humidity packs in the jars 62% from day one works perfect keeps them fresh for a year
Love the videos bro thank you
I really dig the Q&A vids. Keep it up!
I got nanners from the surge protectors and dehumidifiers and heaters LED lights also fluctuating temps
Mars-Hydro is really stepping their game up! I have the ts1000 & ts3000 and they are good lights. However the new FC models are even better! It has an even canopy spread. Too bad you don't do par tests anymore, i would like to see the FC models par test!
Thank you.
Thanks Chris, always helpful 👍
Another great video.
For the fungus gnats i use alittle baking soda in my water and dont really have problems
Mold loves temperature fluctuation
dry out the packs and you can use them in jars with higher humidity in a crunch. Also too much molasses can smother microbial life in the soil and is best used broken down brewed into teas 1💛
Great info brother thank you
Really enjoy your content man.
I know gram/watt is a bad measurement, but I've seen viparspectra beat Mars hydro with the same grow variables. The Mars has more green, which is less efficient and the plant doesn't use it as much, but I think it does affect how big the nugs are. Blue and red make chlorophyll a & b, which seems to make more terps and cannabanoids, lacking the green makes it less pretty though.
The smaller, but stinkier buds, are my choice
Love the content. Thanks for sharing
Es300 is straight 🔥. It was my first light
Hi Chris, would you go over the proper usage of Great White & feeding w/ Myco Chum? Add in water ALONE? Top dress? Add both together in water only? Is pH necessary? Does the medium matter? Will synthetic nutrients kill the beneficial bacteria? Thx man. Keep up the great work.
Awesome video. Not only some very good questiones answered but I also got a double add. One for a grow light and the second for vaginal oder. Wished I could double thumb up.
14-21 days defoliate Rule of thumb any cutting or stress into flowering past 14/21 days stresses and can force a plant to mature early and flower sooner.
Sp6500 , is a great light for some circumstances , I'm running the fc6500 , 3144 LEDs and when I open my tent it's like entering a portal !
Try the sf7000 man o man is that thing amazing
@@evanlove3015 Never heard of it but I spent $1400 + I bought two other Mars lights so I'm tapped out for a year or 5 !
How to germinate or grow in colder environments or house tent whatever
Is running 65° and 45 rh during drying putting my plants at risk for rott or mold? I know u recommend 70 and 55 per your book. Btw you guided me thru my first grow and man let me thank you. Every piece of content you make is golden my guy
Love your content. Just got your audio book.
Great vid 👍 unfortunately you can get pest with any soil
Gnat nix is essentially pumice, and pumice kicks ass. Definitely prefer it over perlite.
Love from Ireland mr growit ☘️💚💚💚☘️
coast of maine is the best soil ive ever used
Great video man, some good tips in there!
Question hydroponics or soil which one's better
Start a season were you do a cross with your 2 fav strains ??
Mars hydro woot woot!
Just got your book ..bro ..
All great info . 👌👽🌴
Hey folks, watch his other videos he has answered these questions on so many other videos!
Thanks for answering my question. I am using Fox farm ocean forest right now and I really like the quality of the media. It’s a much higher quality than others I have tried. I haven’t had any issues with pests yet so I am going to stick with it. I like the fact I don’t have to feed the plants for the first 3 weeks or so. It’s not the best for starting seeds with though. I may have to try the light warrior grow medium for seeds next.
More like 3 months
@@diseasebeats9493 Ocean Forest is that hot? Might be why it’s killing off some of my seedlings.
@@tippyoutdoors6677 your not supposed to flush either if it's all organic... I don't use it, but that's a good brand for new growers, I use miracle grow, I barely put any nutes, if any I put organic
I start seed in ocean forest and feed after 2 weeks
Good to know. I have a handful of regulars doing great started in Ocean Forest but the few Autos I tried I only got one going out of the batch. Probably some crappy seeds. Thanks for the info
With lights go with cmh or HIDs LEDs are okay but I have gotten smaller yields from LED, I like T5 or LED for veg, HID for flower
Glad I found this channel lol great info bud,I here you use foxfarm dirt so my question is you probably already have done a vid on this but if not can you touch on how you feed your plants how much nutrients how many times and when to water with no nutrients ph of water before and after and do you use tap water or RO if its tap water what's the ppm of the tap water before you mix the nutrients do you add cal-mag first etc. Lol I know its alot but no great in depth info on this that i can find thanks alot for any help
I overdrived my first round and the rh in the jar with the buds was only 45 I added a boveda pack and now it’s steady at 60.
What's up Chris if you don't know my name it's Kevin and I love your videos.
Woot.
40 minute ad from RUclips, your video wasn't even half that. I like the Q&A show hope there will be more.
In regards to soil. I used happy frog which is considered a hot mix. How long is the mix still fertilizing in your opinion? Some say 2 weeks some says 1 month. I know watering is a variable.
Also, can I top dress the soil with some more happy frog to bring up levels once they go down? Or is that a no no, and I need to put in regular amendments like dr earth 4-4-4 or something around their until time to flower and then change to a 2-8-4 when flowering and a 0-12-1 for final amendment 2 weeks before harvest. Then flush before harvest.. Does this make sense?
benificial nemotobe ,, i pre mix my soil in a 3 foot wide by 2.5 high by 4 foot long aluminum tote , i water in beneficial biological FISH SHIT AND BIO MASS and i add in beneficial nemitobin and then i just started seeding the pre mix to white clover as it is sitting 6-8 weeks min ,, i am pre mixing soil for veg and for bloom so age the soil or some call cooking it so it is alive and readily available nutrients for the plants the pre mixing is working out well , as is the two specific soil mix as i top dress 2 weeks before flip to flower i top dress GAIA GREEN BLOOM then the transplant just before flip to flower is into bloom amended soil
What is your opinion on “Hermies” especially for small home growers? Should we throw them away? Are the seeds at a dangerously high risk of producing a high percentage of Hermies from seeds produced?
I know my opinion on Hermies just wondering what yours is?
I know you have a follower whom you work abit with who is claiming that Hermies are great and we all should keep and grow any and all seeds that happen to be produced throughout the garden due to cross pollination.
Thanks
Whats up from Oklahoma
Thank you so much for your content bro, ( I have your book ) not sure if you have been asked this , but how often do you smoke? Like all good things in life , sometimes less is more, and I’m interested to know if you have a few rules in your usage of the sacred herb 🌿.
Are you an every day man? Or weekends only ? Or wake and bake? Thank you 🙏
I wish someone would make a grow light that size that also has far red flower initiators on it that work on a timer.
HPS has far red
what do you think of growing in wicking pots, or octopots. Thanks Steve
60f 60% rh is perfect. 14 days
👍
I’m confused about air exchange during the germination phase. Some people say dont open the propagation tank and some people say you have to air it out 1-2x a day.
Seedlings LOVE low doses of kelp!
I have too many plants in a 2 by 2. 7! I'm changing over to flower based on the oldest plant. Any suggestions as to how to maximize bud growth on deliberately stunted plants?
Defoiliation depends on your lights Penetration like the sk600 supposedly has good penetration that wouldn't require too much defoiliation. But thats also a 1300$ light
Defoliating is a cannabis myth. And the whole thing about light penetrating the canopy to expose bud sites is a part of it. Photosynthesis doesn't work like that, and leaves don't just absorb light they are a part of the plants ability to move around nutrients and to let the plant respirate. Removing a few leaves at the bottom of the canopy for air movement won't decrease yields (it still damages the plant) but heavy defoliating will and does. And any videos you see claiming otherwise have no real tests done to show this, the same for topping. Good feeding, good environment and proper light management are keys to unlocking a plants genetic potential. Chopping leaves, topping is like you taking parts of your lung out then claiming it makes you breath better.
@@nihilityjoey brother i have done leaf stripping and not and there is a benefit to doing leaf stripping for light penitration if i dont remove a few leafs the bottom it nothing but loose larf buds not even worth trimming but if they receive the right amount of light then they grow properly and full thick and dense.. look at your bottom leafs if they dont get enough light they get yellow and die. You can believe what you want but ill believe facts science and my own proof from doing it
@@nihilityjoey part of why you dont have to defoiliate out doors as much to is because the sun has best penetration even the thickest canopies in the world still let light get to the forest floors. Only reason for defoiliation on out door plants is for air movement and pervent powdery mildew. But unless you have that penetration then you have to lollipop and do some defoiliation especially indoors under leds. Look up the inverse square law. For every foot your light is away from the plant the strenght dims by half
@@soulseeker42388 Your plants yield is more or less set in its genes. I would suggest you look up sciences View on defoliating and also how plants use photosynthesis. You can believe what you want, but there is no proof scientific or otherwise about pruning. In fact it's becoming aparrent it's the opposite. In studies done every plant that was exposed to excessive pruning lost yield, tomatoes etc. Again slight pruning doesn't hurt yield, but it doesnt increase it, and when a certain tipping point is reached, the practice harms the plant, decreasing yields. Saying the plants bounce back better is like saying you are getting somthing for nothing. All of the energy the plant has stored in veg and early flower, cannot be put back in, if you have less leaves than you started with. You can't break the laws of physics. Especially when the plant is then using its stored energy into recovering. Do you ever wonder why breeders like greenhouse don't defoliate? Don't top, and grow indica plants that can have over 150g dry weight, after only 4 weeks of veg? Yet even the "best" growers are defoliating, topping and vegging their plants for months, and getting about the same? How big an increase in yield would there be if say greenhouse vegged a healthy plant for 2 months, instead of 4 weeks? I grew a two foot stardawg plant, never touched anything, in a 3 x 3ft. Cupboard, with the weakest of climate control, and light leakage that would make most on here cry. But my environment, light and feeding got me 125g of dry weight after 4 weeks of veg, off a two ft plant. My fan gets turned off in the night cycle, and my extractor provides enough pull of air to stop it from being stagnant. I didn't need to prune. There is so much urban legend stuff out there, but you just telling me that it works is different from a proper scientific study being done, which is coming, and when it does it will be interesting to see how growers react.
@@nihilityjoey here is the biggest thing your being blind you you think defoiliation means massive stripping and makimg the plant bare. It isn't so shut up your point is mute there are too many including the people in this pod cast qho swear and have proven light defoiliation and doing it properly has a beneficial effect goodbye i will not argue with a moron
How expensive is it to start growing? Startup and after that, for approximately 4-6 plants.
Do you have your lights on 100% power or use a progressive method?
In general defoliating a cannabis plant can be good & very bad ! It mostly depends on when its done..
Anyone know the old rhyme, The leg bone is connected to the Knee bone, Knee bone is connected to the Thigh bone etc etc..
A plant functions pretty much the same.. Defoliating a leaf from a plants main stem node actually stuns the whole node, the branch growing from the node that was originally connected to a Fan leaf will literally stop growing or grow very slowly..
So defoliation should only be done after the plant has gone into flower & has finished most of its stretch, since it does not really need the main stem & branch fan leaves anymore, it will just use its bud leaves to do photosynthesis..
if i use makehome poop worm casting with only food for blood do i need to use N ?? thx u bro for the show ... continu pls
First timer here. My one plant is too tall (40inch in a 72 inch top tent). Can I hack my 6 good branches off and make 6 good clones with the good newer spaced nodes and raise a full 3x3 tent?
Can you water with bottle water
I am in LA it is pretty dry here too. Is it safe to put a humidifier with thermostat in your dry room?
How many, 2 week rooted clones flipping to flower, is too many for a large hardware store tote? I know it’s depending on light but under average conditions.
What do you think of the new spider farm 7000 light?
When does the plant start putting weight on
Nobody has been able to tell me why you need that much wattage. I still have no idea.
Is the wattage somehow tied to the photosynthesis? I figured light was light when it came to that
California light works
Hey I got some frozen fuel beans... would u say ur 63 days of flower was enough? Would you have gone longer? Shorter
So I’m using super soil, after a few weeks I’m seeing a very thin wetness of green in certain areas on the top layer of soil, is this harmful? And is there remedies if so PLEASE😬 if it’s algae I hear to use cinnamon but I need professional help please
Hey Chris just wondering is 5.8 ph fine for soil? So far it’s doing fine. What’s your thoughts? And seems the plant is more compact and leaves are smaller than my last grow, last was on 6.2 ph.
Wait sooo when flowering it has to be at 50 humidity ?!? Cause I’m hitting 60-65 I recently bought a small dehumidifier but it doesn’t work too well specially when I have to water it hits like 70 humidity. But I haven’t seen any mildew signs. But I’m a novice so maybe I just don’t have the eye for it yet
