As a retired electrician, I will say everything Jeremy has said is spot on! The knowledge that he shares, and deep dives on, is amazing and helpful. Love all you do for our community Jeremy! Peace and love always from Ohio!

Putting your skills to work. Bravo sir. Still in prohibition here in Indiana, although it's legal on every border of my state 🤔.

[@beauregardb6108]

I'm not a pro, but is he not talking about 115/208? Doesn't 240 take four conductors (3-phase) and 208 three(2 hot legs and a neutral)?

[@vedacarmony5754]

This should be required viewing for indoor growing. Jeremy gives us not only an excellent overview of lighting and environment but also some in depth practical knowledge to get growing. This helps to understand the dynamics of the system. The science is spot on. Dank you very much, Jeremy!

When BAS drops an hour ep! Here for it😊

[@RealJohnHenry]

Jeremy, I offer my sincerest thanks. As a first-time grower, I chose the living soil method after watching Season 3 about 20 times or more. I recently encountered heat stress after the ladies Laesi (Bruce Banner) and Quynsi (Gorilla Cookies) were doing just fine. This video was like the clouds opening up and God showing me the way. I got caught up in the 50k LUX min. hype, but I found out I only needed 32K, which took me down to 40% light usage. I was also able to put all your formulas in a spreadsheet so I could visually see the DLI if I changed the intensity and usage. That 40% lowered the temperature, humidifier, and AC usage and, most importantly, allowed the proper biology to continue. I followed your steps at about 85%, but I'm sold 100% now. By the way, your products speak for themselves. Thank you for the science!

[@charlesgress4752]

Thanks Jeremy. Build a soil for the Future of Farming, the world is all in shambles and farmers need to learn this. More important than almost anything.

Best environment tutorial ive watched ! Very well explained, even an old fart like me can understand it. I have very high temps & humidity +35°c & 80%+ Far North Australia . Im getting a small AC unit to help with Temps, but fear I'll need to add back the Humidity. We will see. 1 step at a time 🤣🤣 Only my 2nd grow Still learning . Great video 👍

Yea Man, the way you go into depth on some of these topics is just amazing. Thank you, Jeremy, again.

[@DannyKam4]

dry winter weather killssssss. thank you for this.

[@zoocraft_official]

I really think it's a lot cheaper to automate a humidifier than a dehumidifier. The dehumidifier also increases room temperature. I much prefer growing in the winter as Jeremy said. The summer brings a lot of challenges indoors.

[@618grow]

​@zoocraft_official absolutely...if you have a small or med size lung room just keep the humidity up. Controller 69 has been a game changer once lung room got dialed in

[@zoocraft_official]

@@618grow I have the controller 75. It's been awesome but I want more. I do like that it doesn't connect to the internet. But that could be convenient. I didn't like that the NIWA had access to my data. At least support said they did. So I sent it back.

Switching to LED’s involves a new learning curve. This is the best short tutorial on it I’ve found. Worth saving and rewatching occasionally. I started using an app on my phone for measuring light and it’s been extremely helpful. May not be exact but it shows me how much I’m increasing or decreasing very effectively. That really helps with DLI.

[@SuperDave21]

Incredible info for the beginner grower....!

[@jeffb6276]

28:28 just thinking as you're talking- I think the benefit of the lights off is similar to having a dense cover crop in the sense that the biology and roots get to flourish higher in the medium from the heat and light intensity being away for those hours. So 18 is better than 12 in the sense that the dli is stretched out for the plant to take it in easier, but 18 beats 24 because the 6 hours of dark is beneficial for the medium to partake in a few percent more of its activities in that upper layer for a few hours 😅 hopefully that makes as much sense to you as it does for me

Love the Video! Love Build a Soil. In your video you mentioned two 7.5 amp lights on a 15 amp breaker. Keep in mind that breaker loads are only rated for 80% for the Max. 15 amp breakers safely run 12 amps, not 15. 20 amp breakers safely run 16... etc etc.

Using an Earthbox with Ecowitts, what are the is a normal moisture/ healthy range for the plants and what is considered to high/ anaerobic of a moisture level, so you would hold off on watering. Keep up the great work, you guys are amazing….

[@billybudz]

Before transplant ,45% (average) testing 4 quadrants. Transplant with reservoir dry. When Ecowitt reaches 35% fill reservoir with 1 gal to start. This is the tricky part! The roots must hook up BEFORE you fill reservoir to full capacity. You'll know this when 1GAL. in the reservoir goes dry in no more than 48 hrs. Safe Ecowitt numbers are 25%-50%. Optimal numbers are 35%-45%. I hope this helps you. 💯✌️🦚

Really trying to maintain my VPD. My weakest link that I can control is humidity. My question is can I use a 6 in inline fan for a 2x4 tent. My 4 in inline fan is struggling to exhaust humidity. My intake air from my basement is low 50’s. My tent is struggling to keep the humidity at 60rh. Once again, I love your content, and I am so pleased that your products are now available in driving distance from my location. I love the teaching you have provided thru the years but I feel it would be easier to purchase the best products on the market! Thanks again for your time and effort for continuing my education in organics!

[@brandonpaige1478]

Im in the BAS Facebook group. I don’t see enough people running the sea of green technique. The grassroots beds with the coots recipe is perfect for this method.

[@TheGreenGrower618]

Has to do with legal states mandating ridiculous plant counts. I can only have 5 plants legally. A 5 plant sea of green style grow wouldn't yield as much as me having 5 large plants in 3 different tents like I do now. If I could grow 20 plants then a sea of green style would make sense.

Hey Jeremy, I just wanted to say as a person who has recently been doing research for an in home perpetual grow that absolutely knew nothing about anything concerning growing before the past couple months! That I 100% appreciate the information breakdown and guidance you provide in your videos! Thank you so much!!!

[@Sigma-Mindset-and-Growth]

@BuiIdASoil Ok,so we're I'm at in Alaska, we are able to have 6 plants per 1 person legally going at 1 time in one household and it doubles with 2 or more people in one household but i live alone with no pets,3 of which can be in flower. I currently live in a 20x9 dry cabin( which just means I have to pack my water and I have no bathroom lol)and have electric. My sealing is roughly 14' in height. In my cabin I have a 11'x6' space that I plan to use for the grow. Now with the difference in temperatures fluctuating from negative degrees in winter as such is the case right now to up to 70 80 90 degrees and such in the hotter months. My plan is to over the next year better insulate my cabin and turn the cabin its self into a lung room using the ac infinity 4" pro systems, mainly do to the wattage they pull when operating at full capacity. Along with using 2 of the ac infinity 4x4 tents -1 for veg and 1 for flowering,now for the lights in both of these tents ive chosen due to price along with wattage usage and the ppfd ,the szhlux 500 watt led lights rated for a 5x5 tent but the dimensions will allow them to fit in the 4x4,along with - 1 2x4 tent with a spider farmer sf 600 light when sprouting seedlings, for the duel purposes of sprouting seedlings and in rotation drying when I harvest and rotate the plants using feminized auto flowers so hopefully a Simi steady perpetual grow can be established in due time.. in which I'm planning on using the 4" pro systems to create the internal environments desired for each stage of growth in each tent along with fans,dehumidifiers/ humidifiers as needed. Now I've been watching a few other people on the KZbin like Mr.growit and pigeons 420 along with doctor autoflower and a few others...and so my thoughts and plans are to use a cococore baise with purple cow organic craft mix on a 4 to 1 mix in 5 gallon fabric pots also keeping on hand diatomaceous earth and Mammoth canncontrol to help with any pest infestation that may occur... some yucca wet to help with any forms of stress that may occur from low stress training and some calcium carbonate-potassium carbonate and magnesium carbonate along with the stah bled mix to help with any deficiencies that may occur aong with worm castings for extra nitrates as needed... I'm on a budget due to being on ssdi so this will take me some time to aquire everything but I hope to be getting started around next November or December... Sorry for the long text,I have a tendency to over explain quite often lol but these are my thoughts and ideas of what I'm wanting to due to utilize my space that is available in the most effective and efficient way... any and all advice or guidance will be and is greatly appreciated. Thank you once again...

I love your videos. April 15 million German smokers will come out of illegality. I highly recommend all to watch about organic growing.😊

[@jakebrake7054]

Really enjoyed the video, I just have a nuance about temperature and LED lighting. Completely new grower, I’ve had one outdoor grow that was great until my 2 best plants shot pollen and seeded the ENTIRE crop that was doing well. I did my first indoor garden in February of that same year. The indoor plant was so much better than the seeded outdoor ladies. With my indoor, I ran a cheap LED but, it used Samsung LM301B’s and a MeanWell driver. Listening to Bruce Bugbee, I encountered the concept of shortwave radiation that happens in Mother Nature when the sun goes down. The darker earth absorbs shortwave radiation from the sun through the day, at night when the temperature drops from the lack of sunlight, the darker soil releases the energy back into the air, and is captured by any plants in the area. What I did to bring warmth into my tent that was in a cool basement, was to employ a 300 watt oil filled radiator. I was able to harvest the plants, when they still had a solid week or two left to ripen, because I hadn’t yet figured out what the VPD meant. I was maintaining a 62% humidity level with a temperature of 81 in vegetation, and lowered it to 72 in flower. I believe that your method allows for the light and photosynthesis to be the deciders for temperature variations. That’s something that I didn’t think about, because of being in a cooler environment in the winter time. What are your thoughts on using a radiant heat source, for a more well rounded environmental system? I was using water only living soil and ph’d my water and runoff to understand more about the soil. I even began adding Oregon’s Only NFTG’s nutrient line and I can’t wait for this season to unfurl itself. 😊

Man good point on amps and breaker never thought about grow being to much on breaker. Am just about fixing try first grow ever. If I change plug to 220 do I just get a surge protector that plugs into 220 plug or a adapter . Cause my light has 110 plug and pretty sure my exhaust and humidifier is 110 plug on them.
