These are the top 5 most common mistakes growers tend to make.
Each one can result in a smaller harvest... or even having to throw your harvest out, entirely.
Are you making of of these common grower's mistakes?
Scotty you are an absolute treasure to the community. People seem to want to overcomplicate things but with your methods it becomes simple and enjoyable. Best wishes to all the growmies out there. Good luck and happy harvests.
Never check ph I use living soil if soil right it will correct it itself
Not using living soil
Living Soul ist ja auch nicht das Problem da kannst du ja auch auf deinen Puffer für die Erde arbeiten und muss nicht wie bei Coco und Bio Bizz drauf achten.

I'm doing my first grow. I used compost that I made with leaves and stuff and some dirt from the Home Depot and apparently I lucked out and have it dialed in perfectly. My plant is huge, and bushy and green, no yellow or brown leaves. I fertilize with blood meal, bone meal, earthworm castings, and some fish based stuff called Morebloom, which is 0-10-10. I do small amounts kind of often. This thing is super healthy. Hopefully I don't fuck up but it's doing really well now.
I only come here for this dudes voice!
I have 8 plants in a 4x5 and they are thriving but I’m trimming ! I’m using grow dot and recharg the steams are almost the size of a nickel my 2nd grow I’m very happy with all your advice
A 4X4 tent space is 16 square feet.
Scotty also uses grow dots on his hair, look at how it’s stretching towards the light. Great grow!
Im guilty of vegging too long and crowding my tent almost every run, lol!
Its just too much fun to vegg them and get some good trees
I run into this same thing and find myself folding branches at week 5-6 before they max and hit my light.
I vegged to long this grow
Well, yeah, it’s like you finally, got yourself a really good root foundation. It’s a hard to stop the veg that quick.
Root and fruit fellas ! Overcrowding is no fun at all lol.
I run autos all year in a 5x5 and have a blast growing them and photos outside in the summer so I always have room indoors. Recharge all the way..thx guys!
Right on
Met this guy in home Depot in fort Collins. super down to earth and approachable.......ty for the content
Just wanna say "Thanks for these clips" !!! Huge and quick BIG information! Appreciated! ✌🏻
I was champ?
Glad you like them!
I Love your Videos they are Very Informative, Thank You! These Q&A Sessions are the Best!
Thank you so much for always dropping knowledge like a Polaroid picture. Too many people still torture their plants...but not in the good way.
I'm always learning stuff here.
💪
Great show
My mistake ,, too much light , thought it was fertilizer problem 😆But them i found Scotty 🤩 Thanks for explaining
I’m checking off all the right boxes according to this video. Minnesota makes sure we don’t crowd our grow space with their four plants in flower and four in veg rule. I have copies of that PH chart along with feeding schedules hanging on the wall and set ppfd and DLI according to charts. I’m not right on with temp and humidity but am always solidly within the recommended range. The only time I’m off a bit on recommend temp and humidity is when I’ve got something in the drying tent and veg stage. Then I have to compromise and get up to the 70-72 range while drying. Aside from that it’s always within range and if the veg tent is empty I can zero in closer to 60/60.
Range is the key word here that is sometimes overlooked. Outdoor growers deal with deer, storms, drought, and this summer monsoons. Like I say, they dry in the pole barn and do a fantastic job based on past samples.
I feel pretty good as I’m on top of proper watering as well. That all came naturally from planting outdoor gardens and having a yard to take care of since 1974.
I like these episodes where I don’t feel like any changes are needed. Validation that I guessed right.
Still preaching DWC. Grew in soil for years. Never over/under water your plants again. Monitor pH daily.
I grow from seed, no auto-flowers. Only 1 or 2 plants at a time.
So many ways to enjoy this hobby. Glad this info is available.
I gave up on it after 8 years after I learned crop steering in Cocoa you just can't get the Quality with dwc cuz you're constantly bulking the plant
I want some of the buckets soon. I want to try something new
@@dannyarmata8878 Is crop steering the same as training (high or low stress)?
No one has ever complained about the quality. It works for me.
Smart. I'll never touch coco
I've got a 3 x 3 and it has 6 3 1/2 gallon pots and I opting for two more because altho the space is tight it is there. Ive done it before and I keep everything trimmed and tidy at all times and work hard to keep the plants from overlapping or touching each other and keep them smaller than I normally would with less plants. The benefit is that if one or two plants don't grow well the others will make up for it. Interestingly enough with just four plants I had my biggest harvest but those were with 5 gallon buckets. And let me tell ya G13 is a seriously stinky strain. But I do believe Scotty is right about the plants wanting and needing there own space and even if there not touching or overlapping they seem to know its to tight. Somehow they know.
7:00 overwatering is only an issue with young root systems. Ie; germination and early veg. This is critical Scotty!!! Most RUclipsrs are stunting during germination and early veg from too much moisture extending veg times. Then they underwater when the roots are mature causing osmotic shock that looks like deficiencies. It's not overwatering or underwatering, it's insufficient irrigation, PERIOD.
It's time to understand root hairs during early rooting, fresh air availability to the substrate (this is where co2 supplements fail you Scotty!) and most importantly, growers must get a handle on the moisture needs of the plant. This comes from growing experience ONLY. Learning to irrigate appropriately comes with HANDS ON EXPERIENCE ONLY.
You can't overwater with mature root systems unless you're trying to. But you can easily underwater because of irresponsible RUclips advice... Grow to know!
I just popped a plant and almost killed it because I let it go an extra day without water, it drooped and didn't return to form until almost two days later. The other plant just continued to droop until I put it out of its misery. Now the one plant that ended up coming back is growing really slow, been three weeks and not yet big enough to uppot.
Is this what is meant by "stunting?"
This is my 3rd run. I started last year. I have a 5x5 tent and got 8 plants this time but smaller pots. 2 gallons. I’m planning of flowering sooner so they won’t stretch too much. I’m excited I got a variety of like 5 different strains
Great show guys. I need to try some grow buckets they sound wonderful. 👍✔️🌱😮💨🤤🌄
👍💨✌️I’ve been growing for awhile and can always learn something from watching you guys , thanks for what you do.

For me, lifting your plant is the only correct way to know if they need water
Try to lift a raised bed lol
I’m paralyzed on the right side so I won’t be lifting anything. I have to go by instinct.
@@MasonsAlienGrow maybe try one of the self watering techniques? Easy to do with existing pots and short lengths of rope or really anything absorbent for making wicks. Of course plenty of commercial versions available.
Love it scotty....it's my lifetime goal to meet u and pass u a jay!!!
Hell Yeah!
Scotty I think we have the same play book perpetual grower veg lights 20 in lower then flower works
Love your uploads man👍👍
So informative.
Personally I'm still running soil.
Lumatek lighting.
Advanced nutrients.
Ac infinity fans.
Struggling to get grow dots here in Ireland guy's!!
Definitely want to try
we are working on it!
Good morning
Keep your humidity dialed below 60 in flower you will be fine
So 26.7° and 58.5% ist Just fine ?
@@BaidaFFM We're from Murica,we use the real measuring system Fahrenheit, so yeah 80°.
I am a new grower and so far everything is going well I recently topped my plant and now it has exploded with growth on top the veg part is going wonderfully but in all honesty I don't care that it is super dank I just want to grow my own that give me the buzz I want while keeping my butt out of the dispensary
Day 3 of flower, running some sfv og bx1. 3 lovely ladies out of 5 regs. Not bad percentage. Kinda like i did in school. Lol. Did i mention its 100 degrees here and my ac went out a month ago. Had 2 buy 2 portables just to keep up. And open the tent. Just hoping they call soon about the part.
Holding 79 degrees 64.5 humidity with a vpd 1.21.
Great information 💯🍻🍿
Glad you think so!
Love your shows buddy. I have been using Grobuckets and they work fabulous. No more under or over watering my autoflowers seem to really like it. I’m never going back to fabric pots again🤪🍻. Would you think using half coco and half soil would be a good thing with these Grobuckets. I would love for you to do a show on how to use them to there fullest. Happy growing from Canada ❤
I can see overwatering becoming a problem with heatwaves and getting off schedule but like you say lift the pot and you’ll be able to feel it
I like to drip feed coco works best when i keep it wet. love canna coco
What is the optimal humidity range and do you have a chart?
My most common and aggravating mistake for me is over and under watering very annoying but I give myself credit by being able to bring back mostly any sick plant I come across but after 6 yrs of indoor growing in living soil that is the mistake i commonly make I also have designs for self watering bucket system but a tip I’ve learned is using a small spray bottle and just water seedlings with that
i got 8 dwc buckets ATM, dont really mind it, just gotta add water every 2 days. but my diy earthbox grow was definitely less work.
I'm curious, You mentioned something about having a tray with 1/2" water in it and you set your pots in it?
Anymore info on this?
I like DWC for a few reasons that my buddy on CoCo still doesn’t get. First, the weekly change of water isn’t waste if you spray your lawn with it 😂
Second, I personally don't like mediums that can make the house a mess if animals get into it. Plus, texturally, I’m not a fan of any of them.
And third, I missed the sound of an aquarium but could only pick that or a 3x3 tent. Smoked fish is good, smoked me is better 😜
I’m just glad my wife is into the “24/7 sounds of pasta boiling” coming from the Livingroom
Might need to use coco as a buffer between DWC grows just to keep her onboard lmao
Hey Scotty😊 what you light in your grow room. Sorry für mein Englisch i'm German speak....
I just use recharge for the first time that stuff is amazing it perked my plant right up nice and green. I don’t think I’ll ever use anything else besides grow dots. That is amazing also
Awesome!
I'm really struggling with over and under watering. Trying out CocoLoco right now but gonna try an actual coco run soon though, when I got the space for another plant.
Try adding in good soil to mix the coco at only 20 percent soil with perlite. Works really good
Scottie i love the new grow content over on this channel! But please go back to having more grow talk on the og dude grows show pleaseeee ❤
Temp and humidity drop in the winter or when ac is on in summer. Also vpd changes with temperature even if humidity is maintained
Ipm. That has been a problem a few times. I was able to kick plants outdoors and hit with neem. Yet another reason I don't grow indoors in summer. I had 4 autos that were too far into bud to plant outdoors. But knew at 22-25 days when they showed sex I was NOT getting a good yield for auto. My water table is low this year. So had to dig a few new holes. Did use some recharge not all of it went to the sweet corn. Think the cedar root in gave clone #4 a peppery taste last year. I expanded that hole this year. And same clones. Ultimate purple fast photo x skunk hero x b2. Shows sex like an auto but photo dependent. Done earlier then regular photos for my environment and shorter grow season. We have had a lot of rain in upper great lakes too. Which hasn't made up for lack of snow. It's made floods.
Theres a few ways to avoid overwatering but coco with perlite etc takes care of that
I recently had to use captain jacks ready to use neem oil for 🐛 chewing leaves and now the tips are turning kind of orange yellow is there any thing i can do to make them better??
Should of pollinated autos in basement but had other plants didn't want pollinated. Might have to build a cage in back yard at home next year. Just to put plants outdoors sooner to pollinate some before going up north. Don't think I got colloidal silver on autos soon enough.
I just love your videos Scott, you are a real dude……see what I did there😊.
Btw, I’m an organic guy and have been using recharge from day one and love it. Lately I’ve been thinking of using salts and thought….” Well recharge works so well, I wonder how grow dots will do” so today I bought my first bag of dots.
I only grow autos and was wondering how they do on shorter grow times like the 65-75 day strains. I would think maybe only use them on the 90 day haze type maybe?….
Got any advice on that?
They will still work will the short autos you just won't have them fade out as much at the end, but they work great on the 90day strains
Hey Scotty. Is there a way to get some info on grow dots? Where do I get questions answered?
Join us at Realgrowlab.com, that is the best place to set answers and learn more.
My biggest mistake growing (and I still do it at times) is overcrowding. I say it's for less veg time between harvests, but I always wait to long to flower and get major overcrowding.
Look forward Scottie boy everyday!
I have a fish tank established more than ten years and i use the water from that to water my plants and they seem to love it...any thoughts?
lovin the whole "weed'o" vibe XD
is there a discord for this channel id love to talk about som stuff and maaby get a few helpfull notes on my current project ^ ^ keep up the amazing videos
we do not have a discord but we have a website and app called realgrowlab.com
As a breeder of cannabis for 8yrs and growing for over 23yrs I've never used AC or a dehumidifier or humidifier I live in the north east in winter humidity is down as low a 25 and summer high today 6/23/2024 its 82% even in flower i almost never have bud rot or powder mildew etc bc air flow is key most people focus on i need xyz to grow so they dont grow my flowers are the best around in the group of people I know and the dispensary is trash. I'm not saying that temps and humidity don't affect cannabis but u can manipulate the light intensity air flow etc to still get far superior buds then u can get so to all the stealth growers and people who worry just grow some it will be better then buying unknown flowers. Also Scotty did you guys see how many brands failed for pesticides recently like jungle boys stizy and 23 other large brands I can't believe it but ya some failed for over 20 pesticides (stizy being 1) and some of these are multi state operations be careful out there or simply grow ur own
One thing I'm guilty of, and I think, will help someone that's getting into living soil is living soil does not like dry back or letting the soil get somewhat dry before the next watering. Once I realized that the soil needed to be moist for the "living soil" to do what it does so well it was off to the races. In short don't let your living soil get to dry 😂
This same piece of info goes for Grow Dots too, don't let them dry out.
My first grow in 4x4 I did 8🤦♂️ loads of larfy crap🤦♂️ top tip….vacuum pack the larf real tight. It’s not pretty but it all sticks together and grinds up fine👍 once ground you can’t tell.
Hey, uh, these grow dots, they sound like everlasting gobstoppers for plants...are they layered too?
Thank you.
I will
Yea he’s correct. Mine are overcrowded. So i set up my HPS tent into a LED. Using HPS in the summer is crazy dumb. So i set up my tent for LED.
I have 17 plants and they are crowded. I will split them up.
I'm guilty of over loving my plants I've found less is more in most cases. I'm doing my first pure organic outdoor grow this year lots more planning ahead I'm realizing it takes weeks for some amendments to break down enough for the plants to up take the nutrients. It's definitely challenging to get everything balanced
I'm having good luck with organic. As you said it takes awhile for the nutrients to break down, but you can time it. I'm using blood meal for nitrogen and also worm castings. Also using bone meal and some liquid fish based stuff which is 0-10-10, I think it's called Morebloom. I use pretty small amounts kind of often and it's doing great, lots of growth and no yellow or brown leaves. If you do it just right those products are constantly feeding just the right amount.
@@actionjksnthat's basically the same stuff I'm using
Too many plants and all eat differently too. Have had every issue but spider mites were the worst. Also don’t over love because after 17 years I’ve done it early and later. Sometimes if I’m low like now I’ll do 2 of10-12 gallons in a 4x4 and got about 2lbs or so. Usually like 4 in 3-7. Have a smaller 2.5x2.5 foot but like the bigger
Scotty can I use grow dots with grow bags and water wicking system.
Absolutely
@@ScottyReal420 Thank you love watching y’all cause I’ve learned so much. First time I’ve had great success.

Hello Scotty, Do snails and/slugs like chomping on cannabis plants, if so, what do I do about it safely?
Best regards from Scotland. 🙃
yes they can destroy the leaves, best way to keep them off is make some type of barrier that makes it had for them to get to the plant. like wood chip mulch or other things they can not travel on.
Hey Scotty. Long time listener of Dude Grows. Can you use Grow Dots with Guano?
Grow Dots are a full nutrient line so it is not needed, but depending on the type of guano a light topdressing may not hurt, just stay away from high nitrogen guanos.
PH seems to still be an unknown to me. Using promix hp mainly with a little coco and warm castings I dont know what the PH is in that to begin with. I use Advanced nutrients which claims to be PH balanced. Recently got a cheap 20$ Ph meter to check the soil but I see no consistant readings enough to know for sure where I stand in PH. Maybe Scotty you could explain some of that more in detail in another video.

I guess I'm anal lys about using my food scale to weigh my 1-3 gallon pots.
No you don't need it. But every cultivator is different.
Where one may drink way more than another.
Or just for analyzing data.

How much time do you give a clone per day?
Got 4 going in a 4x2
SCOTTY, you da man 😊

Not to mention, if your leaves are laying up against the side of the tent, you will get powdery mildew
No not necessarily. If u have a fan going you should be ok
would be great to have recharge available in germany too : )
I hear you man.
Can't get in Ireland either
We are working on it!

I grew two plants in my 3 by 3 and did not go good.now i only grow one

It would be amazing to be able to try grow dots and recharge but it’s so dam expensive where I am
Why don't you bypass Yr Electric metre ?
@@goinfishinalba9811 I already do!
Can you reuse dirt that an old batch of plants died in for a new batch of plants but end up with a great new batch growing like the dirt is new?
Yes there shouldn't be any differene beside the absence of nitrogen in any healthy soil system. Once you're reinnoculating the soil and adding back in nutrients you can reuse the same media up to 5 times
@@lordfreizaa4013@scottyreal What is the best products to use to make your soil like brand new or better so this batch of plants don't die like the current batch? Bio-char or Cocoa bricks to help retain nutrients to disperse when plants need it?
Got any tips for outdoor growing? I don't consider myself a novice nor expert, I think there is always something else to learn! Whoop Whoop homies! Much Clown Love 🤡💨
Play insane clown posse an twiztid an kottonmouth kings for your plants !
Whoop whoop homie !
@@jessicafitoo I sing love songs to em, as best I can. An later on, I hit like a Caveman! *Cough cough!* 🤘🤡💨
My outdoor tip is get or build a greenhouse.
Totally haven’t ever shoved 9 plants in a 4x4…. While it can be done it is much easier sleeping at night with 4 in a 4x4. Less nightmares of powder mildew monsters.
?? So when I water I should until it runs out?Because I have never watered, until runoff cause I hate having to suction the extra out of the catch tray, I do try not to overwater were I grow organically! I am a fairly new grower!!
@OfficialScottyReaI420 this is spam folks
@JulieHewes I give my plants water a little at a time and see what gets to the bottom of the planter. Pour in the water again and wait for the soil to absorb and do it again until the soil is losing almost what I'm pouring in. 🤘👽💨
Growing organically you will not need to water to run off.
@@ScottyReal420 Thank you very much for your knowledge, Rite here from central Maine!!
@@Jack_Rabbit17 Ok thank you for the help!
Overwatering has always been a pain in my ass. I use to mistake it for deficiencies or toxicities but ive realized a plant with a bigger stalk will also drink more than one with a smaller stalk. Im in 3 gal fabric pots and i was using 2L of water and i realized it was too much so i cut that in half
You could be wasting potential in 3 gal pots unless space is an issue. Ive tried most sizes from cannabonsai to 20 L and 12 L seems the optimum for maximum yields, anything bigger is a waste unless its outside.
👍👍👍
How does that "Half weight" thing work? Does the plant not gain weight when it grows? How do you plan for half weight when you don't know how much weight the plant gained?
Bro what up with the shirt in the thumbnail? Diggin it man. Diggin it.
Does anyone have a chart or timeline for humidity and temp

@@ScottyReal420 I mean like a timeline with the recommendations for temperatures and humidity for stages of the plant

I just made 200ml of dragon juice. I took approximately 2 drops to check the strength and I was laughing within seconds and couldn’t stand. I love it
I’m using the self watering bases. They are good
I like what you said during the video about you don't have to be perfect you just have to be within range... So true!
Hey Scotty I received this in my email saying I won something asking me to text a number? I'm kind of new to the channel I figured I'd ask you, sorry but I don't trust anything till I hear it coming from you
Using math to prevent over watering is the best practice imo. It's suggested to water between 5-10 percent of soil volume. So using Google to ask what 5-10 percent of your soil volume is it will let you know and you can even convert that to ounces to make sure that you are close as possible without going out of range
Coco the best für deine neue Stecklinge mit cloning Gel und fertig ich nehme persönlich clonex und dann 10 Tage später kann ich auch schon anfangen mir Gedanken zu machen über eine umtopfung und spätestens 14 Tage später kann ich dann richtig Gas geben da die roots richtig raus sind
@OfficialScottyReaI420 thank you Scotty 🫅💪 auch Danke schön an deine Community für die netten Worte und freue mich weiterhin von dir zu lernen und auch mit dir gemeinsam mal ein Hype in Deutschland auslösen
I still use a water gauge to water with. Lol
My biggest mistake was growing four photoperiod plants in a 3x3 tent before I knew the importance of ventilation. Mold and spider mites took over and ruined my grow.
The real grow lab app keeps crashing, any fixes coming?
yes, it is being update all the time.
One of my biggest mistakes was to adjust PH-level of the water before adding the fancy ass fertilizer, instead of adjusting PH of the nutrient solution. Seems like plants don't like overfeeding at PH 3 ... 😂
So prune away right
Does anyone just stick a finger in the dirt to see if it needs water?
Yea seems like a big hassle to lift the pot (especialy if you do lst where you fixate stuff somewhere in your tent).
I feel like this whole watering thing is so easy and never got how you can overwater/underwater so much
The top can be dry, but the bottom is still really moist, I prefer to lift the pots.
The best thing you can give your plants is your shadow.
That take a while😁
