Hey John, do you know if its ok to use organic maple syrup and/or raw honey with boogie brew to feed microbes?? And what happened with TDs Lady that was double stacking leaves btw? Thanks 4 everything you guys have done and are continuing to do for all the forgotten practices and all the new and upcomming practices as well, that we all need to embrace.

[@BoogieBrew]

@@ChadnRanda A little honey or molasses won't hurt, and could be beneficial for extending a tea past 24 hours brew time. Don’t feed the microbes the desert when they are busy digesting the main course. Use molasses and sugars in a homemade compost tea recipe , but not boogie brew, we already have the right amount in there.

I was able to hit 16 stores in 4 states, also turned down Tractor supply as I couldn’t meet their demand. However, I took my business as far as I could w/out bringing in an investor. Also, my gf at the time, we spilt up & I walked away from everything. But I want y’all to know, that rabbit manure is also non burning fertilizer. It’s also great to brew a tea.

[@GeorgiaGrowGuy]

There is a difference science indoor vs outdoor: Indoor I can outgrow my organics tent 2 or 3 to one with hydro/salts and can adjust what they receive in minutes. "Organic" takes weeks and months to adjust unless you are introducing things that would not be encountered in nature like teas or flushes. All these stews of ingredients would never be found in nature in these combinations of components. Does that still make it organic, even if its growing outdoors?

[@timpage5021]

Agreed. I grow both organic and synthetic.. I can keep pace with synthetic only if I use a much bigger pot size. So I’ve done away with the pots for my organic side and use SIP buckets and Grass Roots raised beds. They’re a lil pricey but I’ve had the same 3x6 bed going for a couple of years now. I grow both cuz I just like to garden. And grow my own medicine. But honestly I don’t notice a difference in quality either and neither can anyone else that I share with.

@Ouchwitz Summer Camp LLC I DID say that Pure Blend is a natural product which is free of deadrients! Where do you hear me say that Pure Blend kills soil? My only misgiving with it is the cost and carbon footprint of a liquid product.

[@BoogieBrew]

@@chriskimmer7324 Sorry, no "acting"... We're just trying to keep things real and tell folks honestly how they don't need to get ripped off purchasing chemicals.

[@BoogieBrew]

@Ouchwitz Summer Camp LLC Single use plastic packaging is a crime against the planet and humanity. We must all take steps to reduce our plastic and carbon footprint. And paying mostly for water in a heavy jug (which has a huge carbon footprint from transport) is ridiculous. All the ingredients necessary to grow world class plants can easily be obtained at far cheaper cost using teas and dry top dressings in a super soil base. Master Mark, (AKA the Boogie Master), is getting up to 3 pound yield per 1K of light by using a super soil recipe, Boogie Brew tea, Nature's Pride top dressings and kelp-sugar water. Testimony from an experienced grower: "Hi josh, just wanted to give you and mark a compliment. I did the same setup I do every year and it always turns out great but inevitably there will be points where I'll have some deficiencies and have to pull some lower leaves. With your regiment on soil prep alongside tea and seaweed and Brix, I literally haven't had to pull one leaf off the plants ( and I'm anal about pulling any ugly leaves). Thanks"

[@PWNHUB]

25:14 yes because microbes work w/ the roots and adjust ph at the root site allowing for better nutrient exchange. In hydro, or if otherwise not using any microbes PH adjustment is necessary. Indoor gardening and keeping away pests etc.

Although I do not grow cannabis, I find videos such as this very educational and extremely helpful. I believe that I have probably spent more time building and nurturing my soil, than I have planting anything! I really do believe that a well prepared and maintained soil can provide plants most of what they require to thrive. I have joked and said, that if I were to move from my current location, I would box up my raised bed soil that I have worked so tirelessly building and take it with me!

Advanced Nutrients, Plagron and General Hydronics users have the best yields on growdiaries. I have heard Dutch Pro is good too.

[@JakeCannabisco]

Quantity vs Quality.. I'd rather have a organic plant with higher nutritional ,brix levels ie secondary metabolites with a sensible yield instead of a impressive yield with dramatically lower nutritional content. Synthetics can grow monsters but for better flavor & terps professionals go organic.. especially if it's medical. Newbs that have trouble understanding organics and following nutrient schedules typically smaller growers use Synthetics. After researching and growing most switch to organics & veganics to push the plant & flavor/terp profile further. There are tons of scientific evidence that also supports the reason why organic is better than synthetic.. true people love huge frosty buds.

[@PeterKKraus]

@@JakeCannabisco The only thing that needs to be organic in food or weed growing is pest control. A synganic set up is not detrimental to quality.

[@JakeCannabisco]

@@PeterKKraus science proves that statement wrong. Research has already proven more terps & secondary metabolites are made by organic living soil grows vs Synthetics. Literally every Research experiment proves Synthetics are for fast big plant yields.yet lack nutrition & secondary metabolites compared to organic. Organics are for higher quality 👌 check out ncbi they have Research papers you can read, proving this. That's why Big Agro & the majority switched to organics. It's safer and gives a better end result with a better ROI & scientifically proven. Opinions don't matter. There is plenty of evidence proving this.

[@dmo848]

Same. Jus started using the big bud and bud candy with the base. Works great I believe

[@UbiquitousRomp]

@@dmo848 I'd recommend you add sensizym and Rhino skin to that. I also use Voodoo Juice,B52 in veg and Nirvana in bloom. Then Overdrive Here's a useful summary of what each bottle claims to do. B-52 - B-52 is in fact a vitamin boost for your plant, containing lots of Vitamin B, it has B1, B2, B3, B5 and B7, next to the vitamins it also includes seaweed & kelp extract. Like every vitamin, it helps the plants health and also profusing the flowering. This means a boost in vegetative growth and increased floral production. Vitamin B causes the plants metabolism to speed up and gives it some stress-relief. They also included folic acid and humates which also increase metabolism and cell replication. Rhino Skin - Rhino Skin is in fact our silica. Silica is used to strengthen the plants cell-walls, which then increases the plants resistance to fungi and insects. It also helps to make the stems of your plant a lot stronger and also much thicker. It also causes the plant to uptake more CO2 and higher nutrient absorption. Rhino skin also reduces the water loss through leaves which can help guard against wilting. Wilting is a process where the water is lost through the leaves causing the leave to roll up on itself and therefor making the surface of the leave smaller. Sensizym - Sensizym are your enzymes, these are proteins that boost the breakdown of organic matter into other forms. This basically means, it cleans up your roots, getting rid of all the dead roots and making room for new ones. In the process it creates new nutrients for your plant. Voodoo Juice - Voodoo Juice is a powerful and very concentrated blend of beneficial microbes. They inserted 12 Super-strain microbes into this formula that will help your plant against root-diseases, breaking down the nutrients for better uptake and stimulates root-branching and root-mass. Piranha - Piranha is a blend of beneficial fungi, they have the same purpose as the microbes found in voodoo juice. These fungi break down the nutrients for better uptake by the plant, and protect the roots against diseases. They basically work alongside the microbes found in voodoo juice. Tarantula - Last in our list of root expanders we have tarantula, it also consists out of beneficial microbes, in fact another 11 Super-strain microbes can be added to your root zone. These microbes form colonies around the roots to protect them from diseases, feeding them oxygen and breaking down the nutrients for better uptake. Nirvana - Nirvana is a whole range of natural foods, it contains alfalfa meal, earthworm castings, humus, seaweed extract, yucca extract, bat guano and a mineral called azomite. These foods increase the natural oils and terpene production within your plant. Nirvana bridges the gap between naturally grown and hydroponically grown. As an extra it also boosts the speed of growth. Bud Factor X - Bud Factor X is a product that fights your plants immune system, triggering it to defend itself without causing any harm or stress to the plant. The benefit of that is, that it will cause the plant to produces more enzymes and therefor strengthen your plant against diseases, pests or stressful environments. Another benefit of increasing the level of enzymes is that the plant starts to produce high quantities of essential oils, significantly increasing the final weight of your plant. Last but not least, it also carries traces of magnesium and nourishes the beneficial bacteria in the root-zone. Bg Bud Coco - Big bud coco contains a wide spectrum of yield-boosting and flavour-enhancing ingredients. One of the most important ingredients is Iron, which is also something coco tends to hang on to and therefor stealing it from your plants. It also contains a healthy dose of potassium and phosphorus which are required in large quantities during the blooming period of the plants life. Big bud noticeably increases the number of flowering-sites resulting in more buds. Overdrive - Overdrive basically takes over where big bud ends. Its designed to optimally swell, mature and improve your flowers in late the late bloom cycle, its that final push to get bigger, higher quality and heavier buds. Bud Candy - Bud Candy is a special mixture of sugars and carbohydrates that will give your plants a burst of energy. It also causes the beneficial microbes and fungi found in the root-zone that are being created by Voodoo Juice, Piranha and Tarantula to increase their growth and reproduction, which will make them even more effective and supercharging them to create even better nutrient uptake and resistance against diseases. Bud candy also increases the sugar levels within the plant, which not only increases the size and weight of your plant, but also the aroma and flavor. Flawless Finish - With flawless finish, as the word says, u will use it in the last week of your grow, causing the plant to use up all its build-up nutrients within the plant, and get rid of the salt & toxic residues within your plant. This was u will end up with a more cleaner, more aromatic and eventually better tasting end product

While it's nice to grow in soil that is organic or "living", plants don't discern where their nutrient were derived from. Once it gets down to an absorbable level the nutrient ion is the same. The only real difference between organic and "synthetic" fertilizers is in how they are made. Synthetics use energy, oil and electricity, to pull Nitrogen out of the air, Haber-Bosch effect. Organic uses the soils own microbes to break down the nutrients already in the soil that are in the form of organic mass that contain these nutrient ions. Also, "synthetic" nutrients don't "kill" microbes. Microbes go dormant when they don't like the conditions like pH too high or low. I know this because I've personally tested a lot of these so called "synthetic" fertilizers and many, not all, but many are fine for microbial life.

True about petroleum products in both plant "food" as well as human vitamins. Save the soil. However, be careful of promoting anti-petroleum propaganda. The alternatives for power create even more pollution and harm to people who are middle class and lower than gas. But people believe the story, because it sounds altruistic instead of following the process and learning the alternatives hide some ditty secrets. Just like researching companies to see if they are worthy to support, we should apply this practice to everything.

Trying to do my homework lol thanks for the help I'm growing autoflowers .

[@BoogieBrew]

Read the ingredient labels. Only Big Bloom doesn't contain chems. And you are still paying way too much for water in a liquid plastic jugged product. Use organic super soil, compost teas and occasional organic dry top dressings.

[@randomvideosfilmcollection3161]

If you’re growing autos just 50/50 mix with happy frog and ocean forest with something added or a bottom layer for flowering and that’s all you need.

Foxfarm is not good anymore. Maybe out west you get a different formula, but I’ve had several issues that never occurred with Ocean forest before. I have switched to an east coast brand or make my own mix with promix. Indoor dry kept bags still had gnats, the worst I’ve ever seen was in a bag of Foxfarm Happy Frog. Foxfarm sold out and now it’s time to cash in on us with lower quality and less stable ingredients.

I'm honestly not getting any gnats and I've been using fox farms. I use mother earth for veg now cuz it's half the price of happy frog. I got gnats when I used 100% hp promix.

Not speaking for anyone here, but check out past episodes. Water is life. Any water is better than no water for plants, but tap depending on your area will usually contain chlorine or chloramine which they use to kill bacteria during the transfer of water to ur tap. Use rainwater or a filter that Boogie Brew sells through their site or Amazon, or save up your boiled egg water till it cools or leave water outside in the sun a couple days. So many options that I can’t mention, but they tackled a few in episodes. Get a water filter for your own drinking as well if you can.

[@BoogieBrew]

Boogie Brew can be used in combo with hydroponics. However, in a DWC or any tank / channel / ebb & flow system, we recommend adding Boogie SEPARATELY as a top-feed and foliar. You don't want fresh bio to turn stagnant, dying-off in the reservoir & subsequently causing pathogenic conditions. Some growers elect to bottom-feed in hydro systems with teas and experience success. We recommend a weekly FLUSH, using the MINIMUM of a stronger concentration of tea, then subsequently topping off with water & mild ferts only. You want to get max bio into the rhizosphere for high enzyme levels to create favorable digestion rates of excess fertilizers, providing plants a whopping dose of 'life', while minimizing chances for a subsequent die-off in the res, (creating a clean microbial-cycle). Think of it as a weekly inoculant / flush, followed by an inert solution in your hydro channels. Don't get caught in the trap of trying to maintain constant fresh bio. (Eg: daily adding more tea / biologicals /sugars, boosting oxygen in the tank, etc). Things can spiral out of control that way! (Remaining quantities of diluted leftover tea from your flush shouldn't be a threat to your system; you don't have to go crazy trying to maintain sterility). Regularly-applied teas will allow hydro growers to reduce fertilizers, saving valuable grow-dollars. 700 ppm's should serve as a solid threshold with weekly Boogie feedings. We'd recommend a STRONG tea with this approach, ('concentrated' in small doses to each plant and subsequently diluted with h2o), resulting in more metabolic efficiency & absorption. This scenario is for folks who are already invested in hydroponic methods. It is also possible to use organic liquid products with hydro along with teas, but keep channels clean of bio-film!

Hydroponic (soil-less growing) requires these types of nutrients. You do a disservice showing those nutrients while comparing it's use to soil growing. Growing in soil is a totally different game. It's an old fight between the 2 styles of growing. GH is great for hydroponics. I'd like to see you talk about hydroponics. Chances are, you know very little about it. Soil growers always push that they're "natural" and "organic", and better than hydro growers. Truth is, soil growers are basically growing "outdoor" cannabis, which is not as good as a properly grown hydroponic product. With hydroponics, there is never a cloudy day, and you can give them max love. Outdoor growers just wanna grow a lot that they can still sell, for very low overhead. You can never grow a better product than what a good hydroponic grower can do. In Cali they raise prices on hydro during the outdoor harvest, just so the outdoor growers can get a better price. Indoor gets higher prices, because its a better product.

[@McAwesome363]

Growing in soil is by far the most beginner friendly and budget conscious choice to start growing. You put a seed in the dirt, keep the dirt damp until it sprouts, and water the plant every few days until you want to initiate flowering, in which point you can put a shade cloth over the plant. Fertilize it with basic miracle grow water soluble fertilizer if you want to get fancy. Cannabis is a weed. It does not require unique or special properties to grow it properly. Yes, soil grown cannabis will have less control over the cannabinoid/terpene profile, however the differences are so minor that only the snobbiest of consumers really care. Hydro works really, really well, but it introduces a bunch of extra expenses and hassle that is not seen in soil media.

He lost me at deadtrients and chemicals. A big problem in this industry is its full of stoners with a lack of formal science/agricultural education. Organic compounds are chemicals too and they're not always better or more environmentally friendly. Synthetic fertilizers won't harm soil microbes if used correctly. The plant cannot recognise if a nutrient had additional carbon atoms attached to it before uptake. Carbon based organic nutrients just slow the process down. Organics only produce better quality bud when the grower isn't good, as synthetics are harder to dial in. If you want to maximise growth rate and genetic potential you need at least some synthetics. But if you just want good bud that's easy to produce, then organic is great.
