I'm about to turn 35 I have 3 kids and canbbis as a plant is to credit for myself being sober and doing the right things in life I'm 4 years sober and gardening and canabbis is keeping me sober and talking to everyone

[@theredneckhippie1515]

I really appreciate that Tad and others give Koot credit. It's a tell of one's character to give proper credit, even if they aren't on the payroll.

[@timbaker266]

Well see that's just it

[@CokeMan2423]

this channel is the ultimate refresher source!

[@ozzy_fromhell]

I’ve actually seen like 15+ of these podcast this week alone cuz of my work then I screen record main parts so I can write down notes later

[@ozzy_fromhell]

and the best part is that im doing a living soil dry ammend grow outdoors so this newest video was the cherry on top

[@papacos4745]

If you wanna go down a rabbit hole, listen to Coots old episodes about Verma composting great knowledge

[@519oliveira]

I appreciate content that brings insight on different products and inputs

[@nastytechniquez9685]

I ground up some malted barley and put it in my compost this winter and it heated so fast! It was amazing

[@7munkee]

I buy bulk barley for pennies a pound from our local Mennonite church. I malt it on my porch and use a Magic Bullet blender to grind it up. At this price I can afford to spread it all over my outside garden also. My plants respond so well to it, and you can literally see improvement the same day. They are a great source for everything I need from crushed oyster shells (they add it to chicken feeds) straw, barley, worm castings, raw milk/eggs, Alfalfa meal, and wild bird seed. I use the bird seed to grow mushrooms...it makes a great cheap spawning material.

Tad look so young. I know he has been in the game for 20+ years, but he doesn't look much more than 25. The guy is full of knowledge.

Excellent video today ....well done, i learn a ton

[@PhantomPain74]

Thanks to Chris & Tad 😊

I'm not a chemist. I just watched a podcast video on Future Cannabis Project with Dr. Robert Faust talking a lot about humic acid and it's effects on the soil. He mentions how humic acid can HELP when you have heavy metals in the soil by attracting them and binding them.

[@freedom_born]

Yeah, humic and fulvic are "theoretically supposed" to mitigate TDS and heavy metals... but, they're chelating agents nonetheless. Bonding dissolved solids is not necessarily a good thing.

[@kisorganics]

They can also bring in heavy metals too but I’ve heard that as well. I know biochar can work well to tie up many heavy metals as well.

Red wrigglers are the only worm that can break chitin down to chitinase , great show

I’ve never heard that. Anywhere I can read more? Thanks!

[@ClackkamasCoot73]

Chitin is a long-chain polymer of N-acetylglucosamine, an amide derivative of glucose. Microbial action creates the enzyme “chitinase” and the Chitinase-Salicylic Pathway is one of the most powerful ‘immune system’ in the plant world. Red Wigglers (Eisenia fetida) only consume one single thing - bacteria manure (aka slime). Worms do not have teeth. They do not have a stomachd. They convert bacteria manure into worm castings through enzymatic action in their gut track. Worms are enzymes factories - they release specific enzymes in the bedding to trigger specific microbial response to deconstruct the OM (organic matter). Repeat: The “Chitinase-Ssalicylic Acid Pathway is what we call ‘auto-immune systems’ in humans and other animals. HTH Clackamas Coot

really liking this episode, being into LS myself. great stuff, thanks!

[@DecayingReality]

Awesome show brother, enjoyed this one a lot. Nice to watch an episode that I already know what you’re talking about. I still learned a few things too. Thanks dudes.

[@KrispyGrows]

Just chopped my 5 chill out og plants f3 versions me and my friends love it all around great smell beautiful looking and potent great job with the breeding Chris aka Mr Grow it i will keep the clones around for a long time

[@HeathStevens]

I reuse all of my soil. And thanks for the AC Infinity code, I used it on 4/20.

[@bryanhayes67]

Such a great topic as this is my first run with my own compost When i switched to ProMix BX 2 grows ago I took all of my outdoor/indoor Foxfarms soils put them outside I loved the soil test /test seed as I took 1/2 compost soil 1/2 promix Bx gonna test today before I transplant to outdoors love the soil topics as I am really into them currently love experimenting with my plants Thanks Bro great video 🤙

[@6980869]

Would love to hear about some results you get from the testing.

[@bryanhayes67]

@6980869 Oh, absolutely, I just started 2 Pine Autos in it The mix was made from old fox farms soils. I ran 3 grows through i made a box outside last fall after summer grown and added nightcrawlers and egg shells, coffee grouns ,fruit stens or cores etc.i used 1/2 compost 1/2 Promix BX. My thought is that if a auto takes to it with little to no issues a Photo will definitely I typically do not put my plants on SM for many reasons mostly my Wife's Job but I think I'll put this one grow in my videos Cheers 🪴💨😶‍🌫️🤙

[@Garage_Grower]

Thank Chris a tad you guys are the best

[@herbbakerproductions]

I used all of this. Just got into the habit of activating my compost for 10 days before mixing my soil. All good info

[@jaydonaldson7652]

Is ten days working for you? I've did about ten days activating before mixing and didn't have problems at all, but there's an episode of this that featured Green Goblin I'm pretty sure it was, maybe it was the Happy Hydros dude, but anyway, they activate for like a month or two and said you still feel it "cooking" like heat off it? Mine wasn't hot, there was definitely warmth but I wouldn't say "hot".

[@herbbakerproductions]

@@jaydonaldson7652 for me I was seeing fungus forming on the second day of activating. I also added insect frass to it also.

[@jaydonaldson7652]

@herbbakerproductions753 I always seem to get some of that wispy cloudlike growth happening but I didn't wanna dry it out too much for the microbes sake. Although I'm sure I'd be surprised at how little moisture bacteria actually require 🤔 😅

[@herbbakerproductions]

@@jaydonaldson7652 it was my first time activating it, definitely a learning experience. I had it in a tote and left the lid cracked open a bit. I’ll try adding a little more oat flour next time and possibly some type of amendment and bokashi blend

[@stevegeyer657]

WOW!! What an episode!! Excellent information! Thank you for sharing 🙏

[@420Dreamz36]

For the silica the diatomaceous earth is that the same that will take care of fungus gnats?

[@freedom_born]

Yes. Many applications: Steep in water overnight and use as soil drench, or as a foliar spray for pests. Sprinkle over top soil, water in. Sprinkle over leaves (for pests). Make a nutrient well (hole), put a half cup in well.

[@Dr.Frankenstein65]

A little pro tip for boron* it's also found in eye wash and contact solutions, and you add a teaspoon to a gal of water. Had a weird boron deficiency way back in the day, and the eye wash solution fixed it right up

[@ClackkamasCoot73]

Clackamas Coot here…I wanted to comment about “reusing soil” and that is I grow in #600 or #800 gallon SmartPots outdoors. The soils in these pots are over 6 years old. I started with CSPM (registered Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss), vermicompost, basalt rock dust (Cascade Minerals), 3/8” pumice from the eastern slopes of the Cascades, organic rice hulls, insect frass created from malted barley as the only source of food using Blues, Red Wigglers, European Nightcrawlers. During the off-season I use cover crops for all the reasons usually cited. Re-amending is limited to vermicompost, malted grains, neem & karanja meals and lots and lots of milk kefir whey (over 50 LAB and yeast colonies). Seriously, this isn’t rocket science.

[@Double0joe]

This question relates to an older video. however I thought it’s more likely to get answered on a newer video… the episode about companion plants and increasing terpene production. So things like lavender will help increase terpene production. Question, can growing different cannabis strains next to each other also induce different or more terpene production? since different strains would be producing different terpenes and levels etc.? I have tried to look up the answer for this myself and cannot really find any direct answers. It would make sense to me that if a plant like lavender increases production because of its own terpenes, then a different strain would have a similar effect. But I don’t know for sure and I’m curious. If this gets read and answered thank you in advance I greatly appreciate your time and your content.

[@jimmyanderson420]

Ur such a legend bro!!!

[@charlesrdidiider730]

awesome talk! i was just wondering during the talk about silica, there was no mention of vermiculite. i've been using it for a while after watching Dr. Bruce B. vid. just curious if its still a good source for silica. thanks!

[@kisorganics]

So there’s 3 types of silicon…amorphous, biogenic, and crystalline. Amorphous is the most available and crystalline tends to be the least available. Vermiculite would be crystalline so I wouldn’t could on it providing any real Si for a long time.

[@charlesrdidiider730]

@@kisorganics awesome! thanks for the super informative response! I'll be sure to find some amorphous Si for my next grow instead.

Anyone have any pro tips for lights off? Should there be a fan on or no, should you maintain a RH or not necessary? Is 10° lower night temp the sweet spot or is a certain temp to aim for? Should your things go into lights off with dry wet or damp roots, water at all, water just before lights on or no?

[@freedom_born]

Fan. Always on. Humidity lower at lights off Temps lower at lights off. Water either when lights come on, or when they go off (energy for a hard day, or after a hard day).

Hi, I'm new to growing my own medicinal plants. Can I use natures glacier water for growing? And if I wanted to harvest my own soil from nature as well, is there any prime spots to collect from?

[@cvgodd1432]

Look for places with rich diversity of plants and green big plants! It has to be good soil! Usually near bodies of water. Microbes in soil next to lakes are great!!

[@DanL-j6b]

30% perlite is borderline hydro.. You want to keep it easy to manage so 90% is to be 50/50 Peat moss and compost mix, 5% perlite, 2% Blood Fish and Bone meal, 2% dried chicken manure and 1% dry seaweed. That is gold.

I always hear so many growers talk about how important it is to have premium castings from worms with "a certain type of diet," but I never hear what that is and who sells it.

Soil tests for most of us costs more than buying new soil. Are people actually doing this for small home grows

[@freedom_born]

Approx $30-70 where i am. 🇦🇺 No. It's not necessary for small home grows.

[@ClackkamasCoot73]

I’ve been growing for 49 years and have never, ever had a soil test on the “Clackamas Coot Soil Mix” - it isn’t necessary. A ‘living organic soil’ is about micro-biology and not an exercise in chemistry, IMHO. Clackamas Coot Creator of the “Clackamas Coot Soil Mix”

[@freedom_born]

@@ClackkamasCoot73 Indeed, 38+yrs here Unless it's commercial and requires testing, then it's unnecessary. If it's any concern by using synthetic, or inorganic inputs - then always use in moderation. The plant will signal when it needs something.

Yessir, what does it take to be on an episode?

[@freedom_born]

Are you well known to the community of either cannabis growers, or just basic gardeners in general? Do you have any self content to refer to. Are you accredited or qualified in anything (not required). Do you have any referrals from people to attest to your knowledge. Idk if you'll bring anything to the table.

why would they spray pesticides on a neem tree? I live in Florida and i have a neem tree, no bugs mess with it. it is a organic pesticide. It sucks that cannabis is a bio accumulator

[@TerpyTen]

Thankfully, the bad stuff bioaccumulates in the green parts of the plant. If you trim really tight, you'll remove a lot of potential contaminates

[@Gerlingsbulldogges]

Volcano ash water any one use that 🎉❤🎉

[@freedom_born]

Watch out for dissolved solids. The TDS build up will accumulate slightly faster than just amending some into your beginning soil. In soluble form, the uptake is almost instant. So whatever's not uptaken stays bound to the roots and soil. Whereas if you amend it in at the start, microbes have a better chance to break it down so it doesn't build up
