Mastering Synganic Growing! - From The Stash Podcast Ep.209

[@jayayche5139]

Nothing wrong with knowing your limits and being responsible for your person. Different smokes for different folks 😎. Many respects!

[@urbanexploration7112]

I learnt a lot. But I think pigeons learnt the most this week 😂 great show lads 👍🏻biggest uk fan Desmond

[@willanderson5088]

What do you guys consider a lot? I smoke pretty much all day calms my mind so I don’t think about everything. I smoke about an ounce a week sometimes more sometimes yeah no not less lol.

[@NowiCann]

I see my synganic grow as a slower hydroponic system. The media is use is a soillless high porosity media + 30% added perlite. Canna coco for base nutes, mono-silicate, mykrobes, organic sugars, labs, and calcium magnesium. Having a balance is the trick, when the plant is showing something, the ambient is the 1st thing to check including smells and others. I use different bacterial inputs at different times of the growing schedule. Great show!

[@matrixresetinprogress]

I take a 5 gallon bucket of water and put air in it. Load it up with a huge diverse population of beneficial microbes and fungi. Then I feed them. Then I put a plant on that water. I call it synganic dwc. And its the best flower ive ever come across.

[@Nugmaster224]

I would love it if you guys did a deep dive on the specifics of troubleshooting synthetic nutrient symptoms like you discussed briefly here. 1. How to compare input to runoff ec and what that means in terms of rate of nutrient consumption. 2. When testing runoff pH versus input pH, what implications of of low runoff pH mean for what you should do going forward. 3. How moisture content affects EC, specifically how hard dry backs affect what the plant presents in terms of tip burn even at low EC's, as well as ideal moisture content in general with synthetics for a healthy plant without trying to crop steer. 4. Ideal conditions for healthy roots and how root health affects the plants ability to tolerate different EC ranges. Love your show!

[@SPLFREAKZSD]

Absolutely hands down the best podcast! 5 stars, HIGHLY recommend 😂 love you guys glad to see you made it back safe!

[@Grizz_grows420]

I’m in the same “camp” as Chris! I just can’t do the sun up to sun down smoking. I think it comes with age tbh. I use to go HARD every day and not stress. Good for you brutha! 👊

[@Deepwatercanna]

I run synganic in dwc. I have an instagram under the same name where you can see it in action. There’s definitely a balancing act when it comes to the microbes and fungi. I use orca, hydroguard and Mr fulvic together to reach that balance. Since they need food to survive the microbes that die off will be turned into food for the other microbes so they end up feeding themselves. But I still struggle getting the ratio perfect so sometimes I’ll get buildup on my airstones and roots. It’s mostly just dead microbes because I put too much in and they didn’t have enough food so I would have to clean the airstones and roots if I really went overboard. I also add more every week when I do my reservoir changes. It may be more of a hassle but I think it’s definitely worth it because the terps are INSANE!! Healthy vigorous plants as well

[@AllAmericanProClean]

Not gonna lie. I was ready for you guys to come back from MJBizcon. We needed a new stash episode.

[@KiwiBeard2229]

They still in Pigeons Lair 😅

[@AllAmericanProClean]

@ 😂

[@jeffjensen623]

I run my RDWC system synganic. I really think it's important to incorporate microbes and other inputs to get the best results. Currently I'm running Mills which in it's self is synganic and I add in Microbelife photo p, terpify, and hydroguard. ✌️

[@hed9870]

I noticed a little granular residue left in my watering can the first time I used stash blend so I know it's something I can't use in a sprayer. That being said, the results were great and I'm sold on it's efficacy.

[@matj1990]

Been growing with Dr earth and general hydro maxi series along with lotus nutrients for a few years now 🤷 didn't know there was a term for it 🤘

[@ZephyWinds]

Morning Guys 🌞

[@Swamp_Eyes]

I'm learning , Thanks Guys

[@alienrobot5451]

Love the PFG shirt! Got some in the veg tent right now. You guys are always so supportive of the larger community. Much respect (and a shout-out to WTTGT).

[@duhplaneolmikeofficial]

I love hearing that Canada on the end there. This is what method I'm doing right now without the dry amendments

[@RyanStonedonCanadianGaming]

[@FrankGuest]

I’m a new grower. First grow I tired 100% organic. That was great until I had my first deficiency. My next 2 grows I used the Fox Farm trio and ocean forest as my soil. That grow was better than my first, but still pretty fluffy buds. The run I just started, I’m using coco and mixing in used ocean forest from my last run. I also mixed in a pack of grow dots. I’ll use recharge once a week and possibly some cal mag if needed. Could I not use recharge and cal mag and use stash blend instead, along with my grow dots? I just popped 2 fast flowering tropicana cookies seeds from fast buds. I’m only going to keep the best one. I’m growing in a 2x2 with a 150 watt light from AC Infinity.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

I've always grown in soil with organic amendments but the last grow I've used some Fox Farm liquid nutes and it's my biggest harvest yet. Hopefully it'll be tasty too. Good show as always gentlemen. Y'all are killin' it.

[@rewsnAeh]

If the taste isn't there this run use bat guano next run.

[@camz1039]

For anyone interested in why it works for me. I have an inline spindown filter in my setup. The insolulable portions of the blen get caught in the stainless steel mesh. I also run orca. I honestly think that combo and my chiller is the only reason it works for me. I also only change my res like 3 times a grow. I don't suggest anyone without serious knowledge on the nutrient cycle to try it. It works for me because I did it in a way that makes it work for me, but it won't for most.

[@Vickostillblazn]

Yeah I use Gaia green with nectar for the gods ..and I love the results

[@TheStonedGrower]

I started in dwc, currently in living soil. Dwc can grow monsters, but the extra work isnt worth it to me as a home grower, ive done sinth organic but i was mainly adding in stuff left over from hydro like silica cal mag and bloom booster, but water only works just as good, i didnt see any benifit from the bloom booster specifically, i have rice hulls and sand in my soil so i dont need silica, and no problems with cal mag deficiencies either. Depends on how hands on you wanna be, im about to get automatic watering system so i can be even more hands off. Good growing yall

[@SLOWPOKE321]

Great episode fellas 🫡

[@lavernsivels2202]

Nice episode used this way for years

[@KiwiBeard2229]

I garden like Pigeons, aspire to grow like Chris but probably grow like Rob in reality 😂

[@TrentsGotAGarden]

So much useful info, thank you guys!

[@Grizz_grows420]

Totally Synganic here! I’ll run my base nutes of Gaia Green or Craft Blend but then add Calmag as needed along with Silicium and Winter Frost at the end for Ripening.

[@joeymusacchio9816]

It is actually Québécois, poutine. I love using cacao bean husk in my soil because it is fermented, dried and then roasted and sterile. Vader has used BioCanna in his flood and drain. You can use BioCanna or equivalent in DWC or running DWC but you need a product for bio sludge buildup in air-stone and pumps. Using something like MIIM Microbial Mass Pro every week is a great help along with slightly adjusted PH in the DWC.

[@PHiLLYTERPZ]

🤘🤘 thanks yet again for another dope show boys! Killing it with the content !

[@mikebanks6704]

I feel u could use stash blend in dwc/rdwc cuz you could leave it in a salts nutrients mixer for 10-15 or till its fully dissolved cuz then it won't clog anything 🤔

[@bcontent01]

Currently working on my 3rd synganic run and I will most likely continue to grow this way.

[@michaelgilchrist6255]

great chat fellas

[@ZephyWinds]

Thank you its always good stuff😊🎉

[@jeffreycote2407]

Been so busy with my son's birthday weekend time to play catch up again !

[@rewsnAeh]

Coco and canna for me and bat guano in flower to give macro nutes and micro, works every time.

[@rewsnAeh]

Also gives it good underlying flavour.

[@Dwaynne-n4b]

Funny as hell!!!

[@Papapopinbeans420]

Let's go another episode of the Stash brought to you by ACINFINITY!!

7:50 that happens to me alot with the bong from other people passing it back😢 haha

[@StonedFarm]

Good stuff y'all! Keep it up 🔥

[@shawnrusselld]

Just got some stash blend. I was expecting a powder, but it's just big hard chunks. Is this normal?

[@davidwallman8678]

I do strait organic with cali super soil

[@OG_VeniVidiVici]

This was a good video man. I used to be hardcore organics only but I had to be open minded and realize that it’s all a tool in the box. A shot of pk week 3 ain’t gonna kill me or the plant or the microbes. A little clonex ain’t either. lol peace and love yall.

[@philosoraptor777]

Rice hulls attract and feed fungus gnats like nothing else

[@topiaslindholm105]

Every grower back in the 2000's in eu did some kind of hydro as the first one... Me too

[@AllAmericanProClean]

In regards to the synganics….i “think” I would be doing synganics. I reuse my soil all the time except for my most recent endeavors, the illicit spider mite. I always reammemd my soil with worm castings,phosphorus and potassium. Also though throughout the grow if I see something the plant needs in a deficiency I’ll use my bottled nutes to try and “quickly” fix the problem. In that way the bottled nutes take care of the problem almost immediately, meanwhile gives my other organics time to break down and then use after the bottled nutes have been depleted.

[@ATeammn]

I remember high times had a head to head with some nutrients in the nineties and Dyna gro won way back then.

[@davidwallman8678]

Can you add stash blend to ac infinity self watering bases or it best to top feed?

[@jeffreycote2407]

I got hands on with the autoflower from HSC might have topped it 3 weeks from seed ... Good or bad

[@AllAmericanProClean]

I do have a question though. I’ve been growing for about a year and half now. I got a bunch of beans from RQS (Royal Queen seeds). I’ve had several harvests already BUT a lot of the runs have hermed. Is this some type of stress that’s occurring or poor genetics? Every bean I’ve got from them has germinated and produced but like I said a lot of them have hermed towards the end of flower, mainly at the bottom of the plant.

[@AllAmericanProClean]

I also ordered a new set of nutes that I’ve read good things about in regards to specifically auto flowers. I know pigeons absolutely loves auto flowers lol. The company is Cronk Nutrients (the Bonnie and Clyde series). Heard any good or bad about them?

[@benjammin1212]

I've been buying photoperiod beans from RQS for years, never had a hermie and i get at least a 90%+ germination rate , currently running 4 strains of theirs. Make sure your grow space is cleaned properly before you put more plants in . Including fans etc.. either that or you have light leaks somewhere . If growing autos, you could be stressing them too much, that's just a guess as I don't grow auto's, but RQS are a reputable company and generally get good reviews.

[@AllAmericanProClean]

@@benjammin1212 I just recently had a spider mite problem in both my tents. My guess is I,at some point, brushed up against my hydrangeas bush out front. I noticed like 2 weeks later it had spider mite webbing on it. Then miraculously about 2 weeks after that I had the start of webs forming. Did a treatment and got rid of them and bud washed all my buds the best I could, before dry and cure. Smoke came out good though. I’ve bleached my both tents and all equipment twice and going to do one more time before next run. I don’t ever want to have this issue again

[@benjammin1212]

@@AllAmericanProClean Thankfully I've not had mites yet but live in insectopia..everything wants to eat the plants, I've put hepa filters on the air intakes which should prevent pollen , dust and any critters from getting in ..fingers crossed..

[@_Srt-616]

Man I want to go to Canada an try a shawima i believe it's called. Looks amazing!

[@ChristopherGilmore-o3g]

hey huge fan, love your show. I have a little off topic question, but what nutrient line would you recommend for a new grower on a budget? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

[@K.I.S.S_420grow]

Mr.growit do you run stash blend through the blumat system?

[@anguilla1670]

It's RECIRCULATING deep water culture Rob! Lol. But seriously...thanks for covering dwc in this episode. I've been in rdwc for 5 years and I've almost never heard anyone talk about organics in hydroponics.

[@justinmoore4296]

If I'm doing synganic what would be your best suggestion if I want to reuse my soil

[@NTBS]

flush, then reammend

[@shawny_mac]

Would aquaponics be another consideration as a synganic approach for rdwc? Where the plants are using the fish waste along with “fish safe” bottles nutes. Great show boys! 👊🏼

[@JohnDough-LaH420]

I USE SYNTHETIC aND ORGaNIC SOIL COMBINED REUSED FOR OVER THREE YEARS NOW aLONG WITH SYNTHETIC aND ORGaNIC NUTES STILL GET GOOD RESULTS...

[@654rickybobby]

Rooted Leaf = best possible nutrients period.

[@matrixresetinprogress]

Wow bro. You guys need to meet me. I will show you how to dwc with living microbes. Been doing it for almost a decade.

[@philcapenmsgamingsports]

I would do one or the other, synethic is known to kill off good bacteria and fungi that's in your soil. Which is the entire point of organic

[@RammaJamma3]

First smoke of the day utube growers on other day and they were saying synganic was the best weed ever grown it was best of all things. But because market value has dropped so low they have to run it like a Ferrari in 1gal pots to get the most the fastest so all them had to go to Ferrari model

[@johnkehoe8368]

all nutrients are mineral based not salts per say but there is salts in it all

[@ChandlerLifford]

So I think I was topping my plants and I accidentally fimmed, bc there are now 5 main tops coming out has that happened to anyone before

[@fullTimeVeganinOhio]

Is it still technically synganic if the only thing you add after the nutrients run out is fish fertilizer

[@ZephyWinds]

54 days my stash run 4 plants

[@mikeg1032]

Wait so you don't water untill a little run-off with organics??

[@Superfasteddie]

You want all those nutrients and goodies staying put in your soil. You don't want it all leeching out. With hydro you constantly feed with each watering so runoff is not that major!

[@Superfasteddie]

Good tip I learned to water about 10-15 percent of the volume of soil or your pot . So for instance I grow in 5 gallon so I usually water about a half gallon give or take when they need it.

[@mikeg1032]

@Superfasteddie I also do 5 gallon. 3rd grow in right now veg. They take about a half gallon of water also. But my last run, they took a whole gallon at the end. The soil held the whole gallon

[@mikeg1032]

@@Superfasteddie I think that "10-15%" of the water used is run off not volume of soil

[@Superfasteddie]

@@mikeg1032 hey mike. Yeah I hear you on the gallon I've had certain plants really thirsty depending on how much they stretched etc. But usually I'm under a gallon. Early flower I like a little foliar feed too .

[@Eric-d5t9k]

Question:when using a salt or synthetic nutrient u have to use a buffer to balance the ph so how does that work with organic soil when the ph up and down buffers instantly turn the soil sterile when applied which is y u have useless soil after synganics is a lie its just synthetics

[@RammaJamma3]

Cunnucks is useing Gia green soil he isn’t using coco. He uses gia green soil their worm castings and then their 4-4-4 fertilizer then when time for bloom new soil bigger pot and 2-8-4 Gia green and worm castings
