Cannabis Garden Confessions: Avoid These Indoor Grow Room Mistakes

[@JPPW43]

Today is a special Day for me. My Dad started growing in 1964 until 2002 when he got busted. He passed on this day in 2019 RIP!!! He taught me a bunch.

I have a hydro setup. In 2022 I had a diverticulitis. I was in the hospital for a week in February 22, another week in July 22 and the surgery in April 2023 that fixed everything. My Mom who is 92 years old kept my garden in top condition. Thanks Mom she and my Aunt also spent 6 hours in the hospital waiting during my surgery. Cheers to family

[@RoastPorkandGreens]

You are lucky, my mom would’ve killed my plants and told me everything was my fault.

[@krishendo9433]

so lucky to have family support like that most of our families endeavour to do the polices job for them

[@Paul-q3m7k]

[@TerpyTen]

Biggest game changers for me were: 1. Self watering system (Earth box and AC Infinity XL Base) 2. DEHUMIDIFIER**** (This one was huge. I have old school steam heaters and man do they keep things around 70% humidity.) 3. Calcium!!! (I was having acidity issues and the same deficiency that would come up 3 weeks into bloom and destroy my yields. Turns out i didn't have enough calcium.) Ever since correcting these 3 variables, my grows have been 🔥

[@Billy011]

Im wondering about the automatic water system for the Ebox. Does it work in a gravity fed rez system, or has to be under pressure from the main line?

[@BYizzle]

Look for an HT stamped on pallet wood to know it is heat treated and safe. Most shipping wood has been treated in this manner.

[@A-aronsGreenGrow]

Love chilling with yall on my drive in the morning. Thanks guys for being there for us newer growers.

[@sunnyinbectopiad2g2c63]

I don’t know if somebody else asked for that calendar with the deficiencies each month but I know I sure did. I brought it up a couple times because I cannot find a poster like they have at the grocery store of all the deficiencies and the leaves. I think it would be great art to have up for obvious reasons. You can just sit and look at it while you’re getting high.

[@Undergroundgrowuk]

Good evening dgc and everyone else in the world Had a few fails things can only get better especially with the DGC and community ✌️🙏🇬🇧

[@dabbyhaze1502]

I seldom have fungus gnats I keep excess moisture to minimum both on the surface of the media and not letting trays water sit in trays. I also keep small fans running low at pot height to keep air moving above the media. Gnats can’t proliferate if they can’t fly from the fan wind.

[@thetangieman3426]

The word Scotty is looking for at 10:25 is Relay. A relay is an electro-mechanical device used to switch high voltage/high amperage devices safely, typically using a electromagnet and steel core to operate what is effectively a heavy duty switch. Why on Earth the industry hasn't provided a decent selection of plug in economy remote controlled 110/220V relays is baffling.

[@Paul-q3m7k]

I lost an entire 8 light crop during week 3 of flower to root rot . I had no idea about water temps and I wasn’t letting the media dry back enough . This was back in the early 2000s . it was the only time that happened but I’ll never forget it

[@dubs_5558]

Nice hoodie Dude!!!!!

[@LoveLamp757]

I left my plants for a month (give or take) at the beginning of the summer this year. I just kept the watering schedule in my head the best I could. I got my dad to check in and water the girls ever couple/few days. Made sure to top dress before I left so nobody went hungry. I was a bit worried tbh. But it turned out just fine! The little bit of general gardening experience he has, and the few tips I gave him did the trick. (For context and the curious, I work in music production. Was touring playing bass, and setting up the gear on stage)

[@Deeleeshush]

I came home from a trip. Had a young lady watch them for me. Got back water was dripping from everything in the tent. She was so sweet I couldn’t be mad. She said I was worried about them so I went n gave them extra

[@untrainedastronaut]

Great episode man! Really enjoying these videos!

We had fun training with the moisture meter. But we use that for him to get a real sense of things by site and wait.

[@dack4545]

Hey dudes when you go bush or into the forest grab a bucket of that dark brown Soil and some of the leaf matter, you can have microbes forever and it's especially good because it's from your local area, put it a handful in a bucket of good water and air rate the water, a cup of that microbe water in with the general watering schedule, guaranteed healthy Grow medium.

[@DAVIDSavageGrowsDank]

I just do home grows but really getting great results for the lights i have the ts 1000 mars hydros thinking the 3000 be better dont know am pretty happy w what i get as i smoke alot

[@chuckbailey6835]

Shipping palates will have a code on them. it let you know if they've been treated. Kilm dried, or if treated what chemicals are on, it should be burned/ painted onto the wood somewhere,it also lets tou know country of origin If you google shipping pallet codes youll get a whole list

[@jcmusc]

I use the mosquito bits/dunks. That BTI WORKS!! Nothing has worked a well as the mosquito bits for getting rid of gnats. And since I grow in living soil, dry backs aren't recommended.

[@sunnyinbectopiad2g2c63]

I really like those smart outlet things. I was slow to get onto that technology. But now I find it super convenient. I use it mostly for emergency auxiliary types of equipment that is usually not too big of a deal in amps. But if I need to change something minimally, I can simply turn something on and off usually

[@todderickson4011]

i use diatamcaceus earth powder for my gnats. they cang hatch and come up from soil. just do a good watering bf u put it on. then take ones flying around. wont be able get back in soil. whats a invite code to join?

[@RoastPorkandGreens]

Fruit orchards graft all the time, when trees get old they put young cuts on old root stock and get mature fruit trees much faster than from seed.

[@sunnyinbectopiad2g2c63]

I pay the person to water. And I also pay train them. For the first time I have someone I feel like in reasonably count on for the most part. But I had to have him over a couple times to train. And I paid him For the time. Even making him watch a small KZbin video about the way. Water works in soil. No one is perfect but I haven’t had any problems yet. And it’s been the only thing to release me to go to the DGC events.

[@PartTimeGenetics]

an oscillating 4 inch fan or two depending on the size of your grow space/tent will eliminate gnats 100%. gnats or bugs in general don't like air movement, by placing the fans to move air across the surface of your media the fans will keep the top layer of your media dry and prevents from giving gnats a place to lay their eggs. Never need to spray, dunk, drench or fly traps, ever. And if you have house plants you can cover the top of the soil with an inch thick layer of tiny pea pebbles to prevent gnats as well. 👍🙋‍♂️

[@TestNuggzz]

Ahahahahaha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@D.Monstrable]

I normally use neem coupled with bottom watering and dryback. Sometimes a dusting of diatamaceous earth ounce the top of the soil is dry. And the tried and true sticky traps. Gnats are annoying af.

[@sunnyinbectopiad2g2c63]

I write all the due or die parameters on the door itself. The things that never change like temperature and where electrical breakers and stuff are. Water temps. I leave a sign on each event with the numbers of how many fans he needs to make sure are moving each time. An actual number and he counts as he walks about the area. I also spray paint in orange on the walls where intake fans and electrical. Heaters and hazards could be located

[@acdc1363]

for piece of mind i have multiple night vison motion senser camaras in my tent room :)

[@cannabinerd9665]

Neem seed meal mixed into your soil works great for fungus gnats and other soil borne critters.

[@williambarringer6513]

Nothing I tried (and I tried alot) would kill the root aphids, I finished it out and cooked all the dirt in the oven and started over

[@aaronproctor4745]

The Bluetooth plugs I use are from Lowes, Enbrighton is the brand. Super easy to use app and can do on/off and set up schedules by day or everyday. They can handle up to 600w

[@Undergroundgrowuk]

See I've I get notified of KZbin this time lol

[@knotshure6291]

if you want to take care of fungus gnats use neem/karanja cake & mustard seed meal. you will not have any problems with them anymore, also use a mulch, rice hulls work great. Even if they show up they will Knot have an environment they like.

Growing outside in town with no clue whos watching . Id say paranoia makes picking them early always a challenge. Their so perfect yet not done cooking yet . Do i leave them to cook the rest or pick cause the neighbors looking at um an the worry of mold or problemz like that. I always fold an pick too soon I look at the pros , i get all the bud even if its little smaller buds cause i know the neighbors not taking um if i pick now an their so perfect an clean waiting a bit could mean more a lot more bud but will it be clean an the denser they get the more i worrry about mold an the colder season coming in fast Way she goes

You can get mosquito bits, they are made by the same company as mosquito dunks, they come in a shaker so you can spread them around.

Graham bro and guru are two extremely different people with different positions. There really cannot be any comparison. It’s simply not apples to apples. I like Grambo‘s computer work and his sense of humor. I like how guru explains things in a clear way that I can understand easily. I’m not calling Grambo for the same thing I would be calling guru for. So never fear Grambo.

[@dannybell926]

Scotty thank you so damn much for what you said about the calcium-magnesium-potassium. Im having absolute hell in mid/early bloom with a monster of a K deficiency. Makes sense. pH is good, EC is good, its gotta be a balance issue. Im gonna 33:56 grab the shop vac and run about 30 gallons R/O water through my 10gal pot and mix a fresh batch of nutes to hopefully get back on track. Never in my life had a nute problem. Went from COCO to soil one time and now im having problem. dammit!

[@cuzmasdgc6781]

For me, I get my parents to come by every few days it works out but always overwatering and I have so many plants in my house. Meaning, other than cannabis and my dad will water fake plants thinking they’re real and I have some plants that look fake that he didn’t water like my lithops. lol which is good because those ones only get water maybe every 4 to 5 months. 💚

Bro science..?! I used to have trouble with Fungus Gnats, pretty often. No plant problems noticed, but Gnats always flying around the soil. I started using a Soy Hydrolysis, Amino Acid powder, usually with an NPK of 0-0-14. I was supplementing 1tsp/gallon with each feeding/watering. Within a few weeks, maybe, I didn't notice any Gnats around the soil, and haven't seen any since 5-6 years ago. I have continued to use this product 80% of the time. Recharge has these same Amino Acids, which is great. They're extremely useful for many reasons, from Chelating nutrients, to creating better buds. Maybe even get rid of Fungus Gnats, if used each day, but I still see my experience as "Bro Science"..?! One other person mentioned this "getting rid of Gnats" in the reviews. Maybe we'll get some real science on this someday..?!🤔👍💯🙏✌️

I work with ultra-sonic cleaners often - get a NON-FLAMABLE cleaning solution! Iso Alcohol is known to explode and catch fire in ultra-sonic cleaning machines! Filling the machine with distilled water and putting a ziplock bag filled with your piece and iso alcohol inside is a LITTLE bit safer....but, it would still be best not to use it at all.
