UPDATES: Garden Talk podcast is on track to be back before the end of the year! Thanks for hanging in there while I finish writing my 2nd book (estimated release Jan 1,2024) and navigate taking care of a newborn. Baby was born Oct 5th!! Cheers everyone!

[@xIMxMCLOVINx]

Congrats on baby grow it!!!

Dude! Fatherhood is 👍

[@davidbryden7904]

Congratulations Chris! Have a cigar (sized joint) on me! 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨

[@LazloWoodbine]

Take your time Chris! ...and Congratulations on your new arrival!

[@hambiscuit9943]

Success for me is when you have enough flower to give your friends a big sack. Then a week or so later you get the call " man this might be the best bud I ever smoked" and then they start talking about how one cultivar is great during the day and how others are great for relaxing after work.

[@backbone93]

Exactly

[@charlesgress4752]

Every Grow is a successful one. If you mess up you learn, success leaves clues, eventually you figure more out. It’s an art from the start.

[@seankraus5246]

That's a good attitude. May it become contagious.

[@roywarriner8441]

Yup, every day's a school day.

Congratulations my man! Becoming a father is the greatest gift on earth! Thanks for the content!

[@Oheeeoh]

A successful grow is any time I learn something from the plants.

[@Zardnokalicious]

A successful grow is any time you apply the lessons you have learned from previous grows to end up with a better overall quality flower.

[@timothyjames4195]

I've come to rely on your advice for years. You da man Chris

[@Autoflowergrunt]

Successful grow as afirst time grower. I would say to understand any deficiency as I go, getting to the end state, and preparation for the cure process.

[@LostGenes]

If you're smiling while you're gardening and the medicine works it's a successful grow. In my opinion, at the end of the day a healthy mind and body is key.

[@roywarriner8441]

In the winter, everytime I open my tent the RH drops at least 15 points instantly because my tents are in the 60's RH while my lung room is in the 30's or low 40's. It will go back up once I close the tent back up. I can't see that being a problem.

[@robertramirez5215]

Thanks for all your advice. Helped I have grown my first plants . Came out beautiful . Good smoke. So frosty

[@fadedmass1662]

I'm hoping the next stage of light tech will be more spectrum control. I'm a firm believer that it's the spectrum that tells the plant how to grow, not the ppfd. I would like to see lights with dimmers for blue, red, and a main spectrum.

[@raygreenfinger]

My man justintime2grow had a variable spectrum light on for review an par testing about a month ago. I think it was a 4x4 light

[@elev8id]

Has anyone ever done an organic dry amendment run and the plants have Not faded out?? I don't think I've ever had one plant grown organically that hasn't faded.. they always fade out & stop drinking. I think that is the sure fire way to know they are ready for harvest... fall colours must be a must..

[@7munkee]

My definition of a successful grow is full jars at the end. Taste...potency...those are just bonuses.

[@jonathanbigger4199]

Nice to see you back

[@therapygrow7180]

The trays are 43.9 inches long 16.1 inches wide 3.8 inches tall. Great video as always!!

Congratulations on baby. Hope all is well

[@versatile891]

Thanks Chris. Congratulations

[@matthewjesse1016]

I believe a successful grow is simply a grow we are happy with

[@Ryan-gv7gy]

Successful grow. Healthy till harvest, and useable herb to get me through the next harvest.

[@travisphelps3602]

Thanks I needed this exact info for the fade question, the All Gas OG autoflowers by Humboldt aren't fading whatsoever and they are 3 months old already 🤔

[@brucecrawford9428]

Congratulations....you appear very happy making this episode.

[@Briarlord4jen]

wonderful to see u again on your channel. baby, wow! i feel the community that includes you and the stash, dude grows show, chad westport , jeremy from build a soil and so many others, keep me sooo happy to be a horticulturist. it's what i do and what i love and ty so much for what you do.

[@anthonyrafferty8594]

I love listening to your videos and I have been into build a soil videos for a while now. Always great info and good quality products

[@lf1899]

Thanks MGI!

[@budstermcgreen6360]

Another good organic dry amendments fertilizer is the happy frog line from fox farm. Ran it for a couple of years before switching to craft blend. I personally used the tomato and vegetable blend in veg and the fruit and flower blend for flower. Prefered the happy frog over gaia green and it comes in about half the price of gaia. Can be used with same feeding schedule as most dry amendments. ✌️

[@GardenTalkwithMrGrowIt]

Thanks for the input! 🌲

[@larrylynn7260]

Glad to see you are doing well and kicking ass. What happened with the water curing?

[@briangonzalez1541]

I'm looking forward to purchasing your book and listening to your new content. Congratulations on your newborn!!

Thank you so much!

[@Nethanieal]

Thanks for this channel , been really good to listen to at work and I have been inspired to try some cool stuff in my grow. Cheers from BC Canada

[@jordankendall8025]

Love the vids! They've helped me out alot with my first outdoor run, getting prepped for an indoor run over the winter in the northeast! Can't wait to put more knowledge to good use! lol

[@karenkingsley5382]

Thanks no worries about a fade always wondered after all five grows no fade but good stuff

[@korey420]

My last grow, The top of the plant was fine.. In fact it was very beautiful and colorful.. But underneath the canopy was not so good... The leaves were crispy... Now I did let it go for a little longer because she wasn't quite ready.. But i've never had crispy leaves on the bottom... the sugar leaves and everything were crispy...

[@vance7354]

I would call any good bud over 3 ounces per plant a good grow(on Auto flowers)

[@michaelsia8305]

Can’t wait for the pod

[@nowhereman6130]

A good grow is one that lets the plant express itself as fully as possible, peace.

[@Dab_Marino]

Thank you for this afternoons entertainment 🔥👍👌 cheers

[@GardenTalkwithMrGrowIt]

Thanks for stopping by my friend! I hope all has been well with you

[@trevitt]

Love the content. Wish it wasn't months apart. Keep up the knowledge my favorite informative influencer/ connoisseur! Please more videos

[@polandsgarden]

Just got my cannatrol. I’m excited to try the results!

[@SgtBuck89]

You should check out the Kind X750 LED. It's definitely a new and exciting light

[@nodescriptionavailable3842]

My definition of a successful grow is one that gets me to the next harvest without ever having to set foot in a dispensary, no corporate weed for me, well maybe some gummies during a bogo lol

[@bobbybob8677]

A successful grow could even been a loss of a plant, as long as you learn something from it! No losses only lessions!

[@rowanpeacock7275]

Hey Mr. G! I have a question for you, it's a long winded explanation so please bare with me here. My plants have been dying off recently, not just one or two, literally all of them (20+). My set up is as follows: Coco Coir, synthetic nutrients (switched later to organic), 1 gallon pots, RO water, 2 tents, LED 720w and HPS 600w, temps are consistent, humidity is consistent, airflow is good, from Cape Town, South Africa. Here's the situation; I have had multiple successful grows up until the 3rd month of this year, that's when my plants started to die off. I have been taking clones of clones for 11 generations and on the 9th, I started noticing some stuff... 9th Gen: slower growth, significantly more compact node spacing, when flipping to flower everything got worse. Fan leaves started dying off all over the plant and then the thrips showed up. Killed off with Swirskii. 10th Gen: switched medium to fully organic (Orgalux by Dirty hands) from using General hydroponics Tripart, same problems + poor root development (tight and wouldn't travel), dying leaves before F2F, thrips showed up again and was treated with Swirskii (ineffective), worsened by F2F, used organic Neem and Pyrol for thrips (successful), died by drying out before end of flower. 11 Gen: Fully organic, added microbes to soil (product called Biodyne Liquid Gold), same issues, plants didn't even make it to flower before leaves started dying off. Any ideas😬 Thanks for all your content!! P.S. Any idea what happened to Mr. Canucks?

[@markrich3271]

I have the opposite problem . My humidity is always through the roof more so because I grow in all aeroponics systems. It's tough to get to 70% rh. My plants grow like you can't believe. From clone to Bush in a month. The next thing with led will be water cooling. That will make the handle higher heat I believe.

[@stevenhincks4109]

Congratulations bro! You’ve got a whole new list of obligations homie! Good luck with the new life stage and congrats again man 👍✌️

[@jm12green31]

Hey guys I've used just ab every dry organic amendment/fertilizer and the simple big box store brands work fine such as Dr. Earth, Jobes, Down to Earth, and even Pennington's. I'm trained as a master gardener and have studied the composition of many brands...not much difference at all except sticker price.

[@GrowTimes420]

I make my own soil using ingredients from Walmart, Lowes, and b tractor supply. It does awesome for me.

[@erickoechling9307]

Congrats on the baby….✌️

[@carydetloff3310]

Successful grow is don’t give up. Keep on keeping on!! I’ve been using Foop organic nutrients any thought on the Foop??

[@TheCraigy111]

As long as I get a good high from it I consider it a successful grow. My first grow didn't produce much, still enough to keep me going for a few weeks but I did pretty much make every mistake in the book with that grow. I'm now roughly three-quarters of the way through my second grow, everything has been great other than they are growing at a slower rate due to a different soil that I've used this time, but the plants are all still healthy and looks like I'm going to get a really good crop from these ones.

[@lanedow938]

Hope you don't mind me asking but what mistakes did you make the first grow and what did you learn from it? I have a kit on the way and a shopping cart ready to be ordered once i figure out if i wanna go synthetic or organic. I care about terpenes so considering organic even tho its costy

[@TheCraigy111]

@@lanedow938 I didn't use a grow tent or any of the proper equipment to start with, so I wasn't getting the right temperatures or humidity levels, I wasn't even giving them the right light. The plant's growth was stunted for a good few weeks before I looked up youtube channels like Mr Grow It, and Highigan to see where I was going wrong and learning tips and tricks from all of them and ended up with a decent harvest and a very nice smoke. So I ended up getting the right equipment and watering and feeding them properly, the plants all bounced back almost within a single day and started growing. Feed-wise I've been using Royal Queen Seeds booster tablets and so far so good, no problems, I also get my seeds from them as well. I'm about to start my third grow, this time I'll be mixing my soil with perlite and worm castings to see how that goes.

[@thebigbudshepherd9340]

[@AkaTomCruze]

BAS latest video shows the autopot tray and grass roots fabric rectangle pot for it.

[@cablebox615]

I think with humidity as long as your average is what you set it at the plant will be okay. I'm currently in flower and my humidity can be 37 % one minute then as far as 55 to 60 the next while the dehumidifier turns off. but my average humidity is right on the number I want. I have wayyyyy more Bud sites than I've ever had. Like 80+ , I refuse to count them all.

[@dust6242]

thank you for all the great content...and you saved me a lot of money at ACI 💚

[@brandonnewby6384]

Thanks for the video Mr grow it! When you use reverse osmosis do you use cal mag with living soil? I reuse my soil I'm on my 4th harvest half way through it and I'm using 15 gallon ac infinity fabric pots. I use Gia green nutrients this run and stash blend next. Can't wait for the garden talk again whoop whoop So grateful for these videos

[@GardenTalkwithMrGrowIt]

I don’t use CalMag in my living soil containers. The organic blends seem to have everything needed for healthy plants throughout - including calcium and magnesium. That’s awesome you’re on your 4th run in the same soil! Thanks for your positive words. Cheers 🌱

[@robertthrem3382]

from using chlorinated water I put one of those filters on my kitchen sink for $40. It made a big difference. All the leaves tips were burning.

Will it be a negative impact? Outdoor growers might disagree but then again if your growing one of these new more finicky indoor only cultivars I could see that to Your just going to do a side by side grow

[@stangcobra592]

Too much nitrogen is pretty easy to identify, super dark shiny leaves that curl downwards, i ran into exactly what you described Chris, i was feeding Veg nutes With Calmag..

[@ewreck944]

Ive noticed that true purple strains show nitrogen toxicity. If I dont cut out the calmag and most of the micro nutrients, they always end up airy. Every time. True purple strains dont need much at all during flower

Heat burned my terps this summer omg day by day I smelled what was a good run

[@Lars-snyder]

I think what you said about just getting to harvest is a success. The longer I grow the more I learn that mother nature giveth and she taketh. But also that being said I say this from a mostly outdoor/greenhouse perspective and indoor is a whole other beast, indoor should be held to a much higher standard since you become mother nature. My most successful grows indoor all came from not just quality but from yield. I only use organic dry amendments blah blah blah I'm a hippie lol jk, but I grew for a few big legal ops in Oregon and colorado, I just began to hate conventional growing. Organic bud always tasted and smoked better so you just get to a point where success is personalized.

[@cryptoconnoisseur5210]

Hey Bud, anyway you can get someone that has quite a bit of Knowledge of Fogponics when it comes to Growing Cannabis in one of your episodes?

Thanks for the info.greatly appreciated I have a question I hope you can help with I'm in week 7 of flower I grow in a small portable building I've been using a small window ac to keep temps and humidity at good levels but now a cold front has moved through and the humidity is getting out of control because ac not running I have no dehumidifier yet and I've herd low temps and high humidity is not what I want should I put a heater in and raise temps to accommodate the humidity which is now in the 60's. Thanks

Hello mr. Grow it I have bought a bowl trimmer for my bud and I have waited for the snap so they can go into cure and they don't seem to be cutting off the sugar leaves have you ever tried a bowl trimmer and how would you go about using it?

[@marcuskronz1565]

It will only herm certain strains with the humidity fluctuation is what I found out

[@T-money0985]

According to Bugbee, he said you can over use Yucca, but I have never seen and down side.

[@robertthrem3382]

[@eclipse-rx8me]

the dry cripsy leaf means the humidity is too low or the light is too close like you said

[@SpenDoc757]

Could you harvest outdoor after it rains for a day, instead of washing the buds. Or would it still be a good idea to wash them

[@jeroid123]

i think Tanmay misworded her question i think she is saying that using the correct amount of nitrogen all the way through will not hurt bud quality like how Dr. Bugbee Uses 20-10-20 all the way through and that amount of nitrogen does not hurt his buds even though he does not reduce nitrogen. could be wrong though

[@robertramirez9106]

Is it possible to revenge a plant that had light leak and her mafer dieted and start over again get a second chance? Also sort of the same thing but would it be possible to revenge a plant that got pollinated and start over again so you can get Unseated buds
