BuildASoil: HOW TO USE A SOIL TEST (Season 3, Episode 7)

[@mopar426power]

I know everyone isn't interested but I would greatly appreciate you diving deeper and explaining soil testing and amending in another episode. Whichever way you choose, I can't wait for the next episode!

[@mopar426power]

@@Nurse_Nuggets Thanks for the recommendation! I've done some research myself on the subject and am fascinated by it. Im relatively new to gardening and Jeremy's videos have introduced me to a whole new hobby for me that has turned into a real passion of mine. I never imagined I would love this hobby and way of life so much prior to starting a couple years ago. Now, I can't get enough of it!

[@touchoflovecannaco]

100 Percent im with u here.

[@meh4164]

Yes, please make a detailed video on soil testing and amendments. Thanks

[@nikiefrye]

agreed

[@AeronJOntheBeat]

Last season he went into way more details on soil testing

[@blakerichardson9549]

You are 100% the best teacher of any subject I've ever had. I've heard 100s of people talk about the same things you teach but when others explain it that information just doesn't stick. You help me "get it" dude. As sincerely as the internet will allow, thank you a million times for what you're doing!

[@busyb4283]

This channel is the best on KZbin. I have been following along for around a year now, and have stopped watching anyone else. And yes I'm always down to nerd out on soil! Killer fucking job Jeremy.

[@0nel0vepplgetready]

Thank you keep up the great work, after 26 years growing in all mediums I bought my 1st living soil kit in UK last Friday the 1st April, a 56L pot some nice pre mixed Coot'ish soil, tiger worms included, cover crop seeds just starting to grow. I'd like to mention Indoor Organics in the UK for people trying Living Soil great place for amendments, soil, mulch & much more. Thanks Again from an exited/nervous 1st time Living Soil Grower. Peace from the UK.

[@chrisvickers9665]

Hey Jeremy. Thanks so much for all the great information! I hope as this season continues you are able to describe the steering of plants more. I think we all have troubles with deficiencies and excesses as well as other issues that arise. I’d love to see you work through those problems with us. Then we can see how you deal with problems. Your problems aren’t a problem. They’re an opportunity for us all to learn. Thanks so much! ✌️

Priceless unformation here folks, and best thing its all for free! Thx Jeremy much love from east coast

[@terpsb4thc765]

Hey Jeremy, Huge fan of BAS, the free soil knowledge and the products u have carefully resourced . fellow soil nerd !! Math for conversion of grams per cubic yard - to per gal is (g per cubic yrd [X] .00494 = g per gallon) so if 30 gal pot u would X answer by 30 . So for example test results shows 627g per cubic yd to convert (627 X .00494 = 3.096 per gal so multiply by 30 = 92g for 30 gallons of soil.

[@johnny_apple_]

Listen I am no one an nothing so this might not mean much. I just wanted to say thanks! Everything you are doing is inspiring, at times I'll admit overwhelming but after some time and thought understandable. And, you're offering it up for everyone to live better happier lives not just your customers! As you always say full circle! Thanks Jeremy and the build a soil team

I have been using the Q and I love it. I basically use it with every watering/feeding. That stuff is awesome

[@Noname-kw5wj]

Love both new seasons been watching for a few and it’s just getting better and better, and yes deeper is always good, abs cannot wait to see the side by sides’ results on both, keep it up, firm favourites and both gotta be up there as the best farm related presenters/ producers, appreciate it, every single nugget of info ! 💪🙌🙌🙌🙌✌️👌

[@wallygator369]

Would really love and appreciate the exact seem series for an outdoor grow. As the comments below highlight, you're the best teacher who's willing to share secrets. You will be successful beyond measure as long as we can keep the trucks delivering your products. Need those microbes, baby, and you are back-ordered till late July.

Always looking forward to these uploads

[@boydlong2077]

Yes I want to nerd out

[@AGallagherGarden]

Love the chemistry of soil! I'd totally watch a whiteboard episode! Thank god for videos like this! I'm a 1st time grower of mj. Been a gardener since I was a kid but just finally trying my hand at medicinal mj. Has been such a huge learning curve but also really fun and I've learned so much I never knew about the different amendments, why we use npk and need all the little micronutrients. Before I really never got that deep into it but I was a biology major in college so learning new stuff about the botany end and chemistry end of this has been really rewarding so far! Can't wait to see how everything goes! Thank you for the great educational videos you put out!

[@420Treez]

Buildasoil way can't wait to be part of it next season but gives while to learn as much I can before 2023

[@chrisfleming701]

Great video. I had never heard of the mustard killing fungus gnats very interesting. Something to consider though, mustard is good at killing nematodes. They even sell varieties specifically for it, not sure if it’s the same one, but I think the all do to some degree.

[@radiatingfuture1007]

I use Dr earth veg and flower in Some compost perlite and peatmoss and worm castings. All Home Depot in 3 gal. Vary simple, I fallow DR E chart and modify it a bit. Also recharge and I’ve had amazing results.

[@gregblack894]

Jeremy, you put out amazing content. keep killing it! I read that report, my concern would be the phytoxity that even the researchers are not aware of. I'd hate to loose a crop while trying to make a crop thrive.

[@MrRoarke420]

Definitely can be phytotoxic. 3 heaping tablespoons on a 30 gal with plants at 7 weeks of flower. Everything that didn’t have trichomes got toasted within 7-10 days. Glad I waited as long as I did before applying. It did work well for the gnat issue also.

I think your videos would benefit from bookmark/chapters for the sections of the video. It would allow people to quickly get to segments that they are interested in quickly rather than searching through. I found this to be of benefit especially for videos that I go back and watch again.

[@revijana]

Jeremy, earning that OG growers beard in every episode. Appreciate all the great info you guys put out. 👍

[@robertbryan6189]

I think if you did an episode with the math and white board it would detract from the build a soil way for us newbies. Less is more and letting mother nature/biology do it's thing. Love the content learn something new every time. Have to watch a couple of times. You put a lot of information out (chuckling 🤯)

[@ccan9177]

Another amazing video. I would love a deeper dive into soil testing, it is still a little confusing to me so I don't know if it will help or just confuse me more. Being a fairly new grower I would have probably re-amended that 3x3 bed with craft blend. So that being said what issues would I start to see if it did get to high in phosphorous?

[@dertythegrower]

Big up for soil testing

[@barcaisbest10]

Amazing content. Love the spreadsheet 🙌🏻 The transparency is 💯 in that you give options which I love. Soil testing may not be an option where I am at those. You mentioned the craft blend has a 3-5-2 NPK so would it make sense to use a similar one for re-amend in the absence of a soil test?

[@billybobstone4328]

The way I do it is just use the craft blend every two weeks for long term nutrients. And I'll use the organic gem as a faster amendment once a week. I also use the coconut powder (during flower) and molasses every watering oh and silica. But I would say yes you can use a substitute that is similar to the craft blend as long as you source it and make sure its clean like jermey does. It tells you the use on their website for the craft blend and really goes into detail. I've got a lot of my answers just through the website. Hope this helps!

[@barcaisbest10]

@@billybobstone4328 thanks for the info. Where I am at, sourcing quality is expensive because it’s just not available locally so I have to order it in and organic inputs are pretty heavy

[@TonyGaming96]

Don’t have much to say, but this was very interesting thanks for the content

[@yurimodin7333]

great show once again.......It would be cool if the spreadsheet put out cubic yards and gallons. I might add that for you and send it back to you.

Jeremy …. Just another great video !! You make it look so easy. Had just one question please. How much Sea 90 are you using per gallon water when you foliar spray ?? Thank you.

Jeremy, great channel. Question? Can you use products like Rootwise if you are still using bottled nutes? I'm tryin to get organic but not there yet.

[@lennytorres7]

love all these episodes!! do you think that its ok to use a cocoir/grain substrate as food for the worms? the substrate was used for Psilocybin :)

[@jasonknight5045]

hey jeremy. i read the mustard seed meal texts as well as others. that text showed only the cultivar "pacific gold" as having efficacy. were you able to find this one in particular? as well there was another paper on the emergence/ germination suppression of mustard meals, for weeds and veg.it was being studied for weed controll in ag. so i guess be on the lookout for that. thanks for the tips, gnats are always up here in the pnw:)

Heyy probably covered it in the video so I apologise. What was you using the mustard see instead of? Or was it just somthing new you are testing on it's own? Love every video your like a computer of organic knowledge. Thank you as always Jeremy love from the UK

[@gregblack894]

its being used mainly to control fungus gnats

[@bustalungtoo]

Question; Is there any worries about mixing all the minerals, fertilizers together in the water, can there be any reaction against each other and change maybe the chemical make-up it was intended for? Maybe better to ask What not to mix to gather? Please keep this up. Your videos are great and nice to watch a great source of info. and not so kind of .... well bs. thank you

Hi Jeremy. Love your series. I have a question that is off topic. I was wondering if the mushrooms helped your last grow and if so by how much? I was looking into the mushroom 5 Lb bags that you put in the 4x4 tent with your plants and was wondering if it is worth it?

My grow is down for the next six months. Too hot in my area for my a/c to compensate for my lights. I started a cover crop before my last plant came down. I have plenty of home made compost, there are lots of worms and isopods in my 5x3x2 grassroots bed. I have craft blend, bokashi, Neem cake, azomite, jlf the cover crop died when the lights went off. Any suggestions on anything else I should do while the bed is resting other than watering regularly to keep the worms happy?
