Jeremy, stop worrying and apologizing about giving absolute answers. Its weed and it is going to have issues. I remember back in the 80s growing weed was way more of a stressors here in Cali. Cops , choppers, dumbass neighbors, the meter reader and 2 legged snakes were always on our minds. Your information is always on point for you, and that is the real gift of being a long term grower. Unfortunately, if it was easy to grow dank then you'd be outta of a job.

I've been using KNF methods in conjunction with BAS products and its been more than phenomenal. I'm amazed and totally in awe. Terps, flavor, health are all finally where I've been wanting it at and have been looking for. I feel like I've been missing this style of growing my whole life. Wished this was the only way I learned how to farm from the beginning. 15+ years of farming and I'm just now understanding and utilizing these full organic inputs. Thank you BAS for opening me up to it all. Peace, Love, and happy holidays to all!
I am interested in this method and Someone I Met is trying this out. They are dealing with some acidity issues. Are you having this issue or have regime to combat this?
@@odin5665 I do not have any PH issues. I always learn and understand about the inputs I decide to use and I kinda make my own rough balance when I mix things up. I do use a lot more biochar than Jeremy recommends. Biochar is on the alkaline side so maybe that's what fights all my acidic KNF inputs. But then again, The acids and microbes that come from these inputs will usually start becoming neutral as time passes. When microbe activity is high breaking down all the matter, carbon, etc, you will have an acidic enviroment until that calms down alil. I dont even use dolomite. I do use OSF though and i go heavy with it. Hope that helps.
So I just found the build a soil grow videos this past week. For a guy who wants to grow organically in soil... Maybe no till... These are seriously some of the best informational videos on RUclips! Most people don't have a 10x10 grow tent, but the way you are doing the grows, breaking the tent up into quadrants, it really breaks it down so any home grower can adapt your guidelines and ideas to their own personal grow area. Please keep it up and keep up the variety. Me personally, you have inspired to order some earthboxes. I love the ease of use and watering... I still think I'll have a grow bed eventually but these earthboxes look awesome.
I asked BAS support about the green CO2 light on the Autopilot you sell and using the Autopilot in the tent during dark and your support told me the green light is harmless and you used it in the 10x10 and you didn’t seem concerned lol
First of all thats a small single diode ( im assuming) so like hes saying it depends, and a light that weak + green should be safe. But like he reiterates from time to time, alot of this is still bro science, so that support person was simply answering to the best of their knowledge, or repeating what they were told, that doesnt make them right or wrong.
@@kylegordy113 I don’t remember saying the person was right or wrong but am pointing out there’s a bit of a conflict here. No need to defend anyone lol BTW real green light is fine in the bloom room

As usual you give us not just the info but the details or at least where we can find it! Re-veg takes a lot of patience and room. I like to take them to where I just the female traits then re-veg. Even then you get stunted growth and weird leaves for a while. Then take clones. Merry Christmas to all!!!!
In an earthbox how often should we realistically be adding Rootwise in bloom? Are the microbes reproducing in that nice always moist earthbox leading to us not needing to add more as often? Thank you love the info and open source approach to growing
the bacteria are being cloned by the root tips so there is no need to keep adding it .....plants cant clone fungus tho .....they can only reward it with exudates ....so you need to supply it with fungus if for some reason the fungus you previously added isn't surviving .......moving fabric pots can disrupt the entire mycelial network of a particular species of fungus in the rootzone so avoid disturbing the soil if you can. keep in mind that the idea isn't to force feed it a bunch of organisms ...the idea is to let the plant decide what fungus it wants to be friends with .....like introducing your kid to a bunch of other kids and asking him ...so which of the other kids do you think will help you grow the best and then giving them the invite with the exudates. once you have introduced the fungus let them do the thing. as for the mulch layer ..that is entirely different .....this is where you are the farmer of bacteria and fungus and use them as cultivators and enzyme makers that break down amendments that release fertile stuff into the soil as you water it ....and where worms can pull it down as they get hungry. ...this gives the ability to be amending with ingredients that complement your needs based upon the plants needs of its cycles..... most people have fallen victim to the market pushing the bacteria products and don't have any protozoa or fungus in their root zones to eat off the excess bacteria and complete the food chain .....worms are a big part of this too rootwise should not be needed but like 2 times in a short cycle plant......once to start with so its established relationships with fungus can start and it can start cloning bacteria to grow its tips ....and again at bloom to increase the numbers of phosphorus fixing species .... RootWise offers a separate product that is specifically for the bloom cycle because the plant will automatically start rewarding a different set of species to meet its needs and its a great idea to go ahead and bump those colony numbers up so it can build its network of fertilizer mobility highways
Good question regarding the green light, super interesting, plants do use the green light , when the red and blue get absorb by too layers of leaves the green can penetrate deeper into the canopy
Theres a lot of great physacists on youtube that go in depth in this. The original thought of blue and red light came from nasa studies trying to grow plants with as little as possible in space. we now know thatall spectrums are necessary and are used by the plant even green light. Green light gets better penetration through the canopy and is most definitely used by plants
Yea dude re-veg is incredibly boring, and not the way to go unless you really needed to! It's not hard though I'd say, and I'm a newer grower esp with living soil. Thx Jeremy and your crew of course!, i browsed your Instagram recently; i think after you mentioned older grows you documented on there awhile back, but saw an old pic of Jeremy, AWKID and the Buildasoil crew in the 'KID ty-dye(? lol) shirts, back when he still worked there i think... Cool shit! I truly like how it's a community in no-till/living soil whereas other cannabis groups don't act like...true growers or stoners, just typical online arguing etc, so glad to have found the good side... thx y'all
You ask for ideals for the next season. I really like the idea of the earthbox... But what about doing a section of the tent with auto pots... Maybe the larger ones. It is similar concept to the earthbox as it's a sub irrigation system.
Thanks Jer, yeah I thought the humidifier was the issue also... My local weather is on a yoyo these days and was trying to push the envelope with some good old V.P.D. at as close to ideal conditions. K, gotta go yank the humidifier out and let the girls stabilize. Thank you
The science is you can use green light (must be dark, diffuse and preferably indirect), for short times without triggering flower. However direct green light can cause growth for prolonged periods in some strains. As mentioned the plant actually does use green light if it has it. Green LEDs are great but too bright without diffusion.
Hey almost forgot! How do I use the bio char I have made into my living soil? Talk about activating, using in new soil verses replanting into existing pots with bio-char etc. I really want this info direct from you cause I know you will get in depth with it! Thanks for all you do for this fantastic grow family! Peace!
There are some good videos on RUclips about making, charging and using bio char. Charging it is like making a tea for watering plants and soaking it so it takes in nutrients.
@Nyx Hypnos Hey, thanks for your input! Sounds like the way I think about it! I hope Jeremy covers it and will probably point out something I haven't thought of. I have some now that's been activated for over a month, just want that last info to push me into using it. I don't want to mess up my living soil. Merry Christmas!
@@comfortablynumb9342 Yep, I've watched a lot of them! Most don't tell you how it should be used so let's get Jeremy's view on it as it pertains to living soil. He will give the facts and tell us what he would do to add it to a second run in a 10 gallon for instance. A lot of people know about it but don't use it. I'm sure we will all learn something plus hear about the bro science too! Thanks for taking the time to reply! Merry Christmas!
Hey love your videos so much. Ive only been watching for about 1 month but I have learned so much and cant wait to see more content from y'all. I've been growing for almost 2 years now and have been using organic super soils for majority of that time but i want to make the transition to living soil. I'm wondering since i live in a rental and have a setup that needs to be able to move around, what kind of containers would suit my needs? i was thinking 2 15 or 20 gallon fabric pots would be ideal, (I originally thought of earthboxes but i cant find them in australia ). I have a 28 inch x 56 inch tent and am looking to have 2-6 plants at any one time. would this be a good idea? Thanks
While entering a flower room while plants are sleeping isn’t ideal, it’s still wise to have green light available in the rare event that someone may need to get in the room. For example, if an important sensor is going off leading the cultivator to believe that there’s a malfunction or a severe issue that they need to take care of.
Half of the rooms in the facility I work at are “night” rooms while we are there and therefore have a few green led bars to see. Those rooms underperform the light rooms every time. I have seen the light itself cause problems (reveg, stretching, stressing). But even when the light is used sparingly, defoliations and other work don’t get done as well cause the people can’t see.
I’ve used a green led headlamp for years and haven’t run into these problems, at all. How long are the green led bars left on! I’m in my garden maybe 15 minutes max with the green led and 99% of the time I’m in there just before lights on.
As usual thanks for the excellent content! Now I have some questions/concerns for the next FAQ, I was leaning on going the 10x10 tent route, but for me it makes more sense to go with the high plant count in a bed with a quicker flip and more harvest per year, but it seems so intimidating to have a 5x5 tent with a 4x4 bed and 9 plants in it! Will it be more difficult to maintain and tend to the garden with that many plants and not a lot of space to move around? Will there be enough space for a humidifier, fans, carbon filter etc?
Electricity in your plants is called grounding/ earthing. Basically the concept is that you can put your bare(foot) body (living things) to the earth's soil and the earth's Electronic current has healing properties. Im not an expert but its modern devices that you can hook up in your house to your bed that has plenty benefits but also can be connected to other things like indoor plants. Hope that broke it down good enough
hey bud would like to take this apportunity to wish you a merry christmas and thanks for all your hard work , i have lerent so much from you, and keep up the good work in the new year cheers from the #catlins New Zealand
Hey love your content, as always! I wanted to ask about RO water. I’ve heard people call it “dead water” and say that it’s not good without mixing it with some minerals or other water. My question is: it is really all that bad? I mean, if I buy some good soil where it has been tested for everything, wouldn’t it be a bad idea to potentially be putting in other variables? I have well water and RO water, but the well water leaves white residue on the top of my soil so I stopped adding a little to my RO when I water. Seems to be fine so far. Thank you!! 🙏🙏🙏
Loving the videos and great information! Ordered way too much from Build a Soil the past couple months but impressed everytime with the high quality ingredients... My question is on making Rosin. Is there an effective alternative to using a freeze dryer during the process? Think Pedro said "good luck" if you didn't have one but was wondering your thoughts. Thanks!
I worked for a licenced producer a few years ago on the maintenance team, the night shift would do work on a very few select rooms with lights that had green film out over them, these few rooms were notorious for going back into veg. They scrapped the green shades and left the rooms alone afterwards. Just my 2 cents.
Green film is not good and isn’t a green light. It’s still emitting red and blue spectrums A true green led or fluorescent light only emits the green spectrum
Supplemental lighting vs photoperiodic lighting, supplemental is like when a greenhouse grower uses the sun and also had some lights to increase the total DLI, the photoperiodic lighting is very very small intensity that farmers can flash on to make a night shorter to make sure a plant won’t flower, or flower. My point is supplemental lighting can be as little as 2 ppfd compared to supplemental is more like 100 ppfd
After Xmas, and when I save some money. I’m going to do a soil contest. Build a soil vs. Natures living soil. I’m going to grow 2 auto flowers in 5 gal pots, give them ONLY ph water for the entire grow and see what soil does better. Thoughts?
8:00 in the garden we gotta sunflower directly nearly the electricity cable.. and this one run so much faster and bigger than the other ones.. there were a huuuge difference! 220v house electricity, dont know how much ampere. but it seems to stimulate the roots, fibers and cells?! like on us?!
Yo, you da man! Question for ya. I'm about to start trying the BuildASoil way and I've notice you use straw for your mulch layer. Is it ok to use the regular wood chip mulch like the Scotts stuff I scooped from Lowe's? I don't believe its the Weed Killer kind.
Late reply, hopefully you see this RE green light but you can read the study "Do changes in light direction affect absorption profiles in leaves?" by Craig R. Broderson and Thomas C Vogelmann. It features micrographs that pretty clearly show green light penetrating the leaves twice as far as blue or red light. Green seems to be the worst possible colour light to use if you were going to look at your plants after lights out.
Fish bone meal top dress flowering week 2-3ish for “gassy” terps. Trust me ;) Ok, I recognize I’ll probably have to explain further. There are lots of different organic fams out there, and I’ve been about as deep down the Nectar for the Gods rabbit hole as it gets. Some Nectar-heads have established that different kinds of bonemeal tend to bring out different terps. The owner of the company, Scott Ostrander, is on record saying he’s worked with farms that run Nectar that have run labs on terps and find that a few tactics (some extra sulfur, specifically in the form of calcium lignosulfonate during week 2-4, or fish bone in mid to late bloom, or sugars derived from milk mid-late bloom) would all enhance specific terpine profiles. I only use Nectar products extremely sparingly in a living soil grow, but occasionally I’ll play around with these approaches. And I’ve found the fish bone one to be totally legit if you want to enhance the gas.
Im currently growing Mango Skunk in the Earthbox and every other watering I like to top water the soil with "organic" liquid Nutrients from FOOP. I seem to have watered a bit too much this time and now I have nutrient runoff in the reservoir. How long before the run off in the reservoir goes bad from being stagnant. Would you recommend I run some air down in the reservoir with an air pump? If so do you know of any small air pump that is quiet enough to keep indoors and that won't keep me up at night.
Can you please show in your series (when it’s time) how you “reset” the living soil containers? I currently grow organic, but would like to make the switch over to no till. I’m unable to find any videos that show a time frame and procedure of a new run. Also, I grow perpetually. Is this possible in my 5x5, with four 30 gallon smartpots? Thanks, love the content!
Hey Jeremy i already asked a couple of times, but ill try it again. I saw that the lights you use are plain white LEDs. We' ve all seen the results and they are crushing it. Anyways I'm really interested on your thoughts concerning light companies adding different wavelengths like 380,450, 660 and 730 nm due to their distinctive effects on the plant at it's different stages of life. Do you think that your results could improve using UVA/UVB and the 660/730 mix for enhanced Emerson effect, and if so why aren't you using it? Thanks for your content, love your spirit.
I've done guerilla grows, outdoor and I could get away with a green flashlight with no problems, but I found red was better bc it doesn't travel as far. But indoors, I don't recommend that
I only use green light if I forget to lower the temperature and humidity levels before night night time. It's kind of hard to do that automatically in a small grow. They go to sleep in veg at 10pm and I've had wifey time since 9p and it is now 11p. I'm like... dang so much fun but now I have to put them to sleep with the green light. In flower which will be in a few days, they will be on a 8a to 8p light schedule, so it should be less of an issue.
@@oklagrowmie5587 yes lights go off at 10pm but the heater is sit set to 79 with humidifier qt 65%. I turn all that down and dehumidifier down to 45% before light Go off.
Could you go over how you would dry in a tent for someone using a dehumidifier instead of a humidifier. The way the dehumidifier cycles, if its set on 55% it will drift up to 60%. Would it be best to keep it set at 55%. Or should i maybe have it set at 60% and use it in conjunction with my ac infinity exaust fan/controller? I heard you mention the less exausting of air the better.
Skateboarding, bjj and notill. Did we just become best friends? Lol I have a bed of 6 plants in a 4x2 take and bake. All fems. One started throwing nanners in week 5 of flower. I decided to cut it down and throw it in the worm bin, but was curious if there were other options. Thanks for all you do

First of all thats a small single diode ( im assuming) so like hes saying it depends, and a light that weak + green should be safe. But like he reiterates from time to time, alot of this is still bro science, so that support person was simply answering to the best of their knowledge, or repeating what they were told, that doesnt make them right or wrong.
@@kylegordy113 I don’t remember saying the person was right or wrong but am pointing out there’s a bit of a conflict here. No need to defend anyone lol
BTW real green light is fine in the bloom room
@@Shepp6769 its like u didnt listen to a word that said by me or the video lol. The point is to simply take shit that a random dude on the phone tells u with a grain of salt.
I throw a like on your vids before watching, cuz you know they all gonna be good.
FAQ....keep them coming .We thank u helping us become better living soil tenders.
Thank you 🌲🔥✌✌
Love my build a soil content, wish it were more often, its soooo goood I've streamed all episodes on the chanel 3 time haha
Out of the 60k that is subscribed there is only a few hundred likes let's get them likes up guys to help bas out becuase I know that each and everyone of the vidoes is making everyone more knowledgeable and stepping there garden game up #loyaltothesoil
I love this show !!
I’ve never had an issue with green lights 👍
As usual you give us not just the info but the details or at least where we can find it! Re-veg takes a lot of patience and room. I like to take them to where I just the female traits then re-veg. Even then you get stunted growth and weird leaves for a while. Then take clones. Merry Christmas to all!!!!
been using green incandesant bulbs and green chrismas lights as needed... never had an issue
Always appreciate your work
Jeremy we love the videos , always dropping knowledge 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🌲🌱🔥
Real info and real result!
Waaaahoooooo
In an earthbox how often should we realistically be adding Rootwise in bloom? Are the microbes reproducing in that nice always moist earthbox leading to us not needing to add more as often? Thank you love the info and open source approach to growing
the bacteria are being cloned by the root tips so there is no need to keep adding it .....plants cant clone fungus tho .....they can only reward it with exudates ....so you need to supply it with fungus if for some reason the fungus you previously added isn't surviving .......moving fabric pots can disrupt the entire mycelial network of a particular species of fungus in the rootzone so avoid disturbing the soil if you can. keep in mind that the idea isn't to force feed it a bunch of organisms ...the idea is to let the plant decide what fungus it wants to be friends with .....like introducing your kid to a bunch of other kids and asking him ...so which of the other kids do you think will help you grow the best and then giving them the invite with the exudates. once you have introduced the fungus let them do the thing.
as for the mulch layer ..that is entirely different .....this is where you are the farmer of bacteria and fungus and use them as cultivators and enzyme makers that break down amendments that release fertile stuff into the soil as you water it ....and where worms can pull it down as they get hungry. ...this gives the ability to be amending with ingredients that complement your needs based upon the plants needs of its cycles.....
most people have fallen victim to the market pushing the bacteria products and don't have any protozoa or fungus in their root zones to eat off the excess bacteria and complete the food chain .....worms are a big part of this too
rootwise should not be needed but like 2 times in a short cycle plant......once to start with so its established relationships with fungus can start and it can start cloning bacteria to grow its tips ....and again at bloom to increase the numbers of phosphorus fixing species .... RootWise offers a separate product that is specifically for the bloom cycle because the plant will automatically start rewarding a different set of species to meet its needs and its a great idea to go ahead and bump those colony numbers up so it can build its network of fertilizer mobility highways
Loved hearing you train in bjj, much love to you and the buildasoil family.
Merry Christmas Jeremy and to everyone in the B.A.S crew!
FAQ QUESTION: I'd love to hear your thoughts on at home tissue culture
Been learning a lot from your channel. Keep going bro!
Great vibes man🌱
Great video!
As alwayz Growerz peace luv an respect,🙏🏼💚keep them coming bro💚🌱🌱🌱💚🙏🏼🇬🇧💯👊🏼great content,PEACE ✌🏼
Good question regarding the green light, super interesting, plants do use the green light , when the red and blue get absorb by too layers of leaves the green can penetrate deeper into the canopy
Great video
Theres a lot of great physacists on youtube that go in depth in this. The original thought of blue and red light came from nasa studies trying to grow plants with as little as possible in space. we now know thatall spectrums are necessary and are used by the plant even green light. Green light gets better penetration through the canopy and is most definitely used by plants
Yea dude re-veg is incredibly boring, and not the way to go unless you really needed to! It's not hard though I'd say, and I'm a newer grower esp with living soil. Thx Jeremy and your crew of course!, i browsed your Instagram recently; i think after you mentioned older grows you documented on there awhile back, but saw an old pic of Jeremy, AWKID and the Buildasoil crew in the 'KID ty-dye(? lol) shirts, back when he still worked there i think... Cool shit! I truly like how it's a community in no-till/living soil whereas other cannabis groups don't act like...true growers or stoners, just typical online arguing etc, so glad to have found the good side... thx y'all
Ur the man Jeremy!
You ask for ideals for the next season. I really like the idea of the earthbox... But what about doing a section of the tent with auto pots... Maybe the larger ones. It is similar concept to the earthbox as it's a sub irrigation system.
Would love you know exactly how long youve been growin! Love the videos, thanks so much for the knowledge 🙏🏻
its also straim dependent!!!!
Hey Jeremy can you make a video on when and how to collect pollen from males and how to properly store it? Thanks
Thanks Jer, yeah I thought the humidifier was the issue also...
My local weather is on a yoyo these days and was trying to push the envelope with some good old V.P.D. at as close to ideal conditions. K, gotta go yank the humidifier out and let the girls stabilize.
Thank you
The science is you can use green light (must be dark, diffuse and preferably indirect), for short times without triggering flower. However direct green light can cause growth for prolonged periods in some strains. As mentioned the plant actually does use green light if it has it. Green LEDs are great but too bright without diffusion.
Green terrarium bulbs are great, the Nm they emit wont flip your phytochrome state, used them extensively.
Tons of nose prints on that 10x10 viewing window…some anxious lungs waiting to sample the finished product.
Hey almost forgot! How do I use the bio char I have made into my living soil? Talk about activating, using in new soil verses replanting into existing pots with bio-char etc. I really want this info direct from you cause I know you will get in depth with it! Thanks for all you do for this fantastic grow family! Peace!
There are some good videos on RUclips about making, charging and using bio char. Charging it is like making a tea for watering plants and soaking it so it takes in nutrients.
@Nyx Hypnos Hey, thanks for your input! Sounds like the way I think about it! I hope Jeremy covers it and will probably point out something I haven't thought of. I have some now that's been activated for over a month, just want that last info to push me into using it. I don't want to mess up my living soil. Merry Christmas!
@@comfortablynumb9342 Yep, I've watched a lot of them! Most don't tell you how it should be used so let's get Jeremy's view on it as it pertains to living soil. He will give the facts and tell us what he would do to add it to a second run in a 10 gallon for instance. A lot of people know about it but don't use it. I'm sure we will all learn something plus hear about the bro science too! Thanks for taking the time to reply! Merry Christmas!
@Nyx Hypnos if bio char is charged correctly it won't pull N from the soil.
👍
Hey love your videos so much. Ive only been watching for about 1 month but I have learned so much and cant wait to see more content from y'all. I've been growing for almost 2 years now and have been using organic super soils for majority of that time but i want to make the transition to living soil. I'm wondering since i live in a rental and have a setup that needs to be able to move around, what kind of containers would suit my needs? i was thinking 2 15 or 20 gallon fabric pots would be ideal, (I originally thought of earthboxes but i cant find them in australia ). I have a 28 inch x 56 inch tent and am looking to have 2-6 plants at any one time. would this be a good idea? Thanks
While entering a flower room while plants are sleeping isn’t ideal, it’s still wise to have green light available in the rare event that someone may need to get in the room.
For example, if an important sensor is going off leading the cultivator to believe that there’s a malfunction or a severe issue that they need to take care of.
thank you for shareing the soil testing books bro
I mean in general wow thank you so much i cant say how greathfull i am right now. I will read them all
as long as you keep the wattage of the [led] below 10 watts and as long as its shaded green youll be fine!!!!
Half of the rooms in the facility I work at are “night” rooms while we are there and therefore have a few green led bars to see. Those rooms underperform the light rooms every time. I have seen the light itself cause problems (reveg, stretching, stressing). But even when the light is used sparingly, defoliations and other work don’t get done as well cause the people can’t see.
I’ve used a green led headlamp for years and haven’t run into these problems, at all.
How long are the green led bars left on! I’m in my garden maybe 15 minutes max with the green led and 99% of the time I’m in there just before lights on.
As usual thanks for the excellent content! Now I have some questions/concerns for the next FAQ, I was leaning on going the 10x10 tent route, but for me it makes more sense to go with the high plant count in a bed with a quicker flip and more harvest per year, but it seems so intimidating to have a 5x5 tent with a 4x4 bed and 9 plants in it! Will it be more difficult to maintain and tend to the garden with that many plants and not a lot of space to move around? Will there be enough space for a humidifier, fans, carbon filter etc?
Electricity in your plants is called grounding/ earthing. Basically the concept is that you can put your bare(foot) body (living things) to the earth's soil and the earth's Electronic current has healing properties. Im not an expert but its modern devices that you can hook up in your house to your bed that has plenty benefits but also can be connected to other things like indoor plants. Hope that broke it down good enough
hey bud would like to take this apportunity to wish you a merry christmas and thanks for all your hard work , i have lerent so much from you, and keep up the good work in the new year cheers from the #catlins New Zealand
The green light from an led can be used to spot any mould or mildew issues.
Need that in depth 2 hour harvest-trim jail video 🙏🙏💯💯💪💪💪🙌🙌🙌
Hey love your content, as always! I wanted to ask about RO water. I’ve heard people call it “dead water” and say that it’s not good without mixing it with some minerals or other water. My question is: it is really all that bad? I mean, if I buy some good soil where it has been tested for everything, wouldn’t it be a bad idea to potentially be putting in other variables? I have well water and RO water, but the well water leaves white residue on the top of my soil so I stopped adding a little to my RO when I water. Seems to be fine so far. Thank you!! 🙏🙏🙏
Loving the videos and great information! Ordered way too much from Build a Soil the past couple months but impressed everytime with the high quality ingredients... My question is on making Rosin. Is there an effective alternative to using a freeze dryer during the process? Think Pedro said "good luck" if you didn't have one but was wondering your thoughts. Thanks!
I worked for a licenced producer a few years ago on the maintenance team, the night shift would do work on a very few select rooms with lights that had green film out over them, these few rooms were notorious for going back into veg. They scrapped the green shades and left the rooms alone afterwards. Just my 2 cents.
Green film is not good and isn’t a green light. It’s still emitting red and blue spectrums
A true green led or fluorescent light only emits the green spectrum
@@Shepp6769 indeed said company learned their lesson the hard way; 4 rooms 1100 plants each all flipped back to vegatative state lol.
I heard green light is organic. So I use only green lights.
Supplemental lighting vs photoperiodic lighting, supplemental is like when a greenhouse grower uses the sun and also had some lights to increase the total DLI, the photoperiodic lighting is very very small intensity that farmers can flash on to make a night shorter to make sure a plant won’t flower, or flower. My point is supplemental lighting can be as little as 2 ppfd compared to supplemental is more like 100 ppfd
After Xmas, and when I save some money. I’m going to do a soil contest. Build a soil vs. Natures living soil. I’m going to grow 2 auto flowers in 5 gal pots, give them ONLY ph water for the entire grow and see what soil does better. Thoughts?
What if one gets much better genetics?
Better test would be clones then switch medium.
@@user-pv2by7nv1x Good idea!
@@joejohnson5335 good luck 👍. Bos way done right + great genetics (and 60/60 2 week+ dry) = boutique class
Could you go into on Blue Gold? Just want to hear more on the great product
8:00 in the garden we gotta sunflower directly nearly the electricity cable.. and this one run so much faster and bigger than the other ones.. there were a huuuge difference! 220v house electricity, dont know how much ampere. but it seems to stimulate the roots, fibers and cells?! like on us?!
2nd question. Would you put the saw dust or any other logs from the mushroom farm directly in your soil or in the compost bin?
Yo, you da man! Question for ya. I'm about to start trying the BuildASoil way and I've notice you use straw for your mulch layer. Is it ok to use the regular wood chip mulch like the Scotts stuff I scooped from Lowe's? I don't believe its the Weed Killer kind.
Jeremy, when is the best time to do a soil test. For time and reamendment purposes, would you do it after harvest or sometime prior to harvest?
Late reply, hopefully you see this RE green light but you can read the study "Do changes in light direction affect absorption profiles in leaves?" by Craig R. Broderson and Thomas C Vogelmann. It features micrographs that pretty clearly show green light penetrating the leaves twice as far as blue or red light. Green seems to be the worst possible colour light to use if you were going to look at your plants after lights out.

I was wondering if you could do a smaller grow using the 3x3 bed in a 4x4 or 5x5 grow tent and what that would look like for the home grower.
Fish bone meal top dress flowering week 2-3ish for “gassy” terps. Trust me ;)
Ok, I recognize I’ll probably have to explain further. There are lots of different organic fams out there, and I’ve been about as deep down the Nectar for the Gods rabbit hole as it gets.
Some Nectar-heads have established that different kinds of bonemeal tend to bring out different terps. The owner of the company, Scott Ostrander, is on record saying he’s worked with farms that run Nectar that have run labs on terps and find that a few tactics (some extra sulfur, specifically in the form of calcium lignosulfonate during week 2-4, or fish bone in mid to late bloom, or sugars derived from milk mid-late bloom) would all enhance specific terpine profiles.
I only use Nectar products extremely sparingly in a living soil grow, but occasionally I’ll play around with these approaches. And I’ve found the fish bone one to be totally legit if you want to enhance the gas.
Im currently growing Mango Skunk in the Earthbox and every other watering I like to top water the soil with "organic" liquid Nutrients from FOOP. I seem to have watered a bit too much this time and now I have nutrient runoff in the reservoir. How long before the run off in the reservoir goes bad from being stagnant. Would you recommend I run some air down in the reservoir with an air pump? If so do you know of any small air pump that is quiet enough to keep indoors and that won't keep me up at night.
Can you please show in your series (when it’s time) how you “reset” the living soil containers? I currently grow organic, but would like to make the switch over to no till. I’m unable to find any videos that show a time frame and procedure of a new run. Also, I grow perpetually. Is this possible in my 5x5, with four 30 gallon smartpots? Thanks, love the content!
🎅🏽 🤙🏽
Setting up my first tent (3x3). Explain the difference between COBB LEDs lights and LED bar lights. Thanks.
Thanks so much for answering my green light question so heres another. Do you think playing music stimulate plant growth?
Soil test video pretty pretty please!!!!!! (At home)
Hey Jeremy i already asked a couple of times, but ill try it again.
I saw that the lights you use are plain white LEDs. We' ve all seen the results and they are crushing it. Anyways I'm really interested on your thoughts concerning light companies adding different wavelengths like 380,450, 660 and 730 nm due to their distinctive effects on the plant at it's different stages of life. Do you think that your results could improve using UVA/UVB and the 660/730 mix for enhanced Emerson effect, and if so why aren't you using it? Thanks for your content, love your spirit.
I've done guerilla grows, outdoor and I could get away with a green flashlight with no problems, but I found red was better bc it doesn't travel as far. But indoors, I don't recommend that
Hey I’ve been watching your channel for a couple of months now, my question is could I make my own aloe Vera powder and use that as my wetting agent?
I only use green light if I forget to lower the temperature and humidity levels before night night time. It's kind of hard to do that automatically in a small grow.
They go to sleep in veg at 10pm and I've had wifey time since 9p and it is now 11p. I'm like... dang so much fun but now I have to put them to sleep with the green light.
In flower which will be in a few days, they will be on a 8a to 8p light schedule, so it should be less of an issue.
Your lights go off at night? Just so you know, temps are easier at night. Electricity is cheaper at night................................
@@oklagrowmie5587 yes lights go off at 10pm but the heater is sit set to 79 with humidifier qt 65%. I turn all that down and dehumidifier down to 45% before light Go off.
Could you go over how you would dry in a tent for someone using a dehumidifier instead of a humidifier. The way the dehumidifier cycles, if its set on 55% it will drift up to 60%. Would it be best to keep it set at 55%. Or should i maybe have it set at 60% and use it in conjunction with my ac infinity exaust fan/controller? I heard you mention the less exausting of air the better.
Skateboarding, bjj and notill. Did we just become best friends? Lol I have a bed of 6 plants in a 4x2 take and bake. All fems. One started throwing nanners in week 5 of flower. I decided to cut it down and throw it in the worm bin, but was curious if there were other options. Thanks for all you do
I have a green led that was labeled to be safe for photosensitive plants
If you had a 5'x5' tent, would you just us a 3'x3' bed or move up to a 4'x4' bed?
