BuildASoil: HOW TO MAKE SOIL 10x10: Episode #3

So many grows out here in vegas need a guy like you. I used to work at a grow for like 3 years and seen people lose their jobs because the boss doesnt really know soil. We used biochar without pre loading it and it caused crazy nute deficiencies in our run. One of our growers got blamed for mixing wrong and later fired for it, now i realize what went wrong. Mixing by hand, your a real grower and you have my respect

[@dunser21]

This is exactly what we needed as customers, I tried using the 3.0 in a 5x10 with 15 gallon bins and failed due to not understanding the way your soil is used best. Also on your site it says “feeding Chart” so I went ahead and bought all those products, followed the schedule and 1 week after the 1st feeding, disaster.. too much nutrients, lock out and lots of time spent with your customer service. Your customer service reps are incredible! They helped save my grow, it was great but it wasn’t a failure, I began to research all the products I had purchased and use them now in my current grow with much success. This series is going to get the beginner up to speed, demystify the BAS super soil methods and show people how easy it is to grow organically. Thank you so much for putting a series out like this and super excited to see the results, will have to give your soils another shot after the series finishes and use all the tools your teaching us

[@thelifeofLJ2011]

Honestly I was thinking of giving up because growing seemed so structured and systematic. Finding this channel last week has given me new life. I went out and bought 80% of the ingredients and mixed up 100 gallons this week. I learned so much and now feel entirely better about this great hobby. I’ve listened to a lot of KZbin people but finally perfect gardens led me here. And Clackmas is the man too, what a great friendship you two have. I’ve finally felt like I’ve reached intermediate level now, thank you.

Just want to say this is a great thing your doing , and we hope these type of videos never end . You have no clue how much this is helping organic growers as we really don’t get a lot of videos like this just because of the fact majority of a lot of growers on KZbin use synthetic nutrients . These type of videos is what’s going to simplify organic growing because starting out learning is a long process and can be overwhelming .

Hi mate. Loving these new videos. Just a quick one, I'd recommend adding water to your rock mineral bag before handling. I saw the clouds of dust coming off when you poured it in.

Also going to try the wetting agent on my dragonfruit, they hate wet feet in my container trellises so I think that may help avoid as many muddy pockets and possibly save on water usage as my soil mix does contain peat.

First off thanks, I've learned a lot from these informational vids. I love this growing style. There are two questions I have that keep me wondering, both of them involving the worms. I'm a worm enthusiast and farmer. My questions are first of all I can see how a blue mat system of watering would work with worms in bags but I don't see how more standard watering would work......like wouldn't the worms want out?......and what about the chlorine? Do you de-chlorinate all water going into these systems for the biology?s The second questions has to do with the pre-mixing and you mention that a system may go 'hot'. That would obviously kill of worms wouldn't it?

Question, after this soil has been made for use in the grow room do you still need to further feed the plants during their growth cycle or are all the nutrients required already in the mix itself for the entire grow cycle?

I appreciate that you promote localization rather then your own profit. Sharing globally the best methods of creating healthy life and acting locally is how we fuel the reLOVEution. Perhaps the reason you like mixing with your hands is you are releasing the free radical formations in your body... We are like a walking antenna, instead of energy flowing through, it's only flowing to while as people are insulated from the ground in their unnatural lifestyle of rubber soled shoes, tires on transportation, sleeping in a house. This is one of the roots of cancer. A book called "Earthing" will provide the science behind the process of grounding. I love being barefoot while I walk through the food forest I'm creating in the desert. I've been building soil with lots of sheet mulch/cardboard and chipped yard waste from the landfill, coffee grounds and my composting system using a backhoe and a big hole in the ground.

That’s awesome man I just started to use your products and seen what they do For sure I’ll be buying your amendments and natural water additives for my organic garden but since I grow in a 5x5 I don’t need much was wondering if it would be possible for you to make a kit for like two 15 gallon pots 30gallons for the 5x5 tent that would be awesome cause I do two plants and use a trellis and spread them out saves me a lot of water usage and saves a lot of time from watering the pots plus I save alot of water and amendments and still get a lot of super top shelf buds it’s awesome but if u can do that oh my goodness I know there is alot of small tent growers out there who would definitely buy that kit for sure but thanks for your knowledge and everything you make for top quality organic growing 👍🏽

I think they made this kit based on the existing size of bags they already have or bought. Smaller kits might be more expensive because they will definitely have to repackage some items. I only need like 50 gal. Maybe I'll use the extra to grow some cover crop or an aloe plant.

Energetic, healthy and intriguing. Can read all day, but when you watch a seasoned pro, it gives you insight that it is fun loving work and not to over think things, just get going with it. After the 2 week "cook" and your filling your containers, do you add more amendments every month, a weekly tea or just good ol' h20? When your done harvesting, is there any enzyme treatment or get as much root out, refluff medium and use again?
