[@GardenTalkwithMrGrowIt]

Thanks to Soup The Gardener for coming onto the podcast today! Soup The Gardener’s channel- bit.ly/3shprR7

[@kellyhill4410]

Thank you Chris for bringing Soup to the podcast. The information , experience of indoor gardening is always helpfully.. Wish I had this information several years ago. Budget is important, but go big or go home is a good idea with indoor gardening. Tent , fans ,etc . 🤜🌟🤛🪴🪴🪴

[@scottiesgarden8682]

Great content man

[@gregorysgrowing3614]

If "way back in the day" is 2015, I'm f'n old! Hahaha! Thanks Chris!

[@GardenTalkwithMrGrowIt]

😂😂 I know it’s not even far back

[@muppetonmeds]

Dam then I must be dead lol.

[@xaviervargas2286]

This guy has common sense. Bring him back. One of the best interviews you’ve had

[@acdoctor8572]

If you run a larger exhaust fan you can turn it down to move the same amount of air that a smaller fan does. Plus, it will be quieter.

[@HomeGrowTV]

Awesome sauce brother!!! Going to put this on the podcast during gym

[@GardenTalkwithMrGrowIt]

Ayyy thanks for stopping by man! Hope all has been well with you 🌱

[@kevinGvue]

I am hoping to start my first grow very soon. I have been trying to be thorough as possible with my research process within the last 3 months. Your garden talks along with your actual grow guides have been extremely informative. I have essentially everything I need to get started right now. I have actually been taking notes and designing a grow guide around growing organically with coco coir. Thank you so much for this video as it explains so much for a new person like myself. Hoping to start growing here within the next couple weeks if all goes well.

[@jefferyjackson]

Would love to see a part 2. Planning out expansion/upgrade at the moment this helped out for my want list.

[@rscott3387]

AC Infinity has really figured it out with their products. Great Customer service

[@JimWatters]

I have a 3' X 3' tent and started with only had a cheap 100 W light. I am in Canada and was running a heating mat to keep the tent warm enough all winter. I have now added another 200 W of cheap lighting. I am venting my tent outdoors between July and Sept only the rest of the time the lights help heat up the basement. To me light efficiency is not so important. All that heat is not a waste.

[@vernlunsford4449]

Definitely need a part 2 . Enjoyed hearing the world besides mine experience the same struggles. Wish I had found your channel before I just went and bought a light and tent. Would have saved a lot of money and knew more about indoor grows. Thanks again for another great episode Chris. Keep rockin it

[@davidalbright2825]

YEEESS!!! I can’t wait to watch this!! I live off of you and Matt bro.

[@tomjanikowski1121]

Watching many podcasts- most of growers use max 5gallon pods. 10.15 or even 20 gallons is insane

[@JimWatters]

Re Tents: pin hole light leaks into the tent is unlikely to affect flowering cycle. As much as a full moon is ok. If it is about light leaking out, tent in bedroom and lights on while trying to sleep, that might be a problem.

[@PeterKKraus]

That's what I've been saying ever since I heard that bro science. I'm like , outdoors, the moon is one heck of a light leak. 😆

[@christoffer6527]

The moon is 1/200.000 strenght of the sun. Try reading a book or newspaper. Its impossible. Its not as much light as you think

[@PeterKKraus]

@@christoffer6527 Neither is a tiny pin hole much light. I CAN read a newspaper for the last half of a moon cycle.

[@acdoctor8572]

Wansid dehumidifiers will restart from power loss. Set dehumidifier to 30% and let the Trolmaster Hydro X or Tent X control the setpoint. Turn Off "Hot Start" to prevent double delay timers.

[@obsen9495]

Merci pour ces précieuses indications... Bon grow à tous. La Calirochelle !!!!

[@b_lumenkraft]

Yes for part two!

[@roywarriner8441]

I put 1×8's across the top of 2- 2×4×5's. A shelf for the exaust fans and remote drivers. My 3×3's are 6 footers. With just the filter in the center of the tents, it doesn't limit the height of the light. I control humidity with the variable speed exhaust fans, and mechanical timers for the lights are my only automation. I monitor everything with an indoor/outdoor weather station with remote sensors. KISS. We have time of use metering so my lights are on at night when rates are halved.

[@lilbear19601]

6:45 I blurted out "I love big butts"! Woke my dog. Thanks guys for the talk, never stop learning.

[@cannafarmer]

Controller 69 pro legit makes you God to your plants lol. It's amazing

[@camarodude9615]

Great content. I run 2 ks5000 1 in each 5x5 with great a harvest, there is a lot of good lights on the market. Vipar spectra is a good cheap light even the p4000 lights it up good

[@npklife4205]

Yesssss!!!! I love it when you have guests on whose content I already consume! Chris you always seem to ask all the detailed questions I’ve got for your guests! Another great epi 😎👊🏼

[@raymondgetz4866]

Yhanks to you both. New or seasoned grower this is a good refresher or start up show for all of us to consider lots of info. This shows both good and bad . Choice is up to each grower.

[@gnawbabygnaw]

With a short tent you can make it taller if you only have a plant or two by cutting a hole in the bottom of the tent and raise the tent up where the floor of the tent is up toward the rim of the pot

[@anthonyromano8565]

If you know mini pocket screws and baltic birch multi ply plywood. You can make tents, enough for several tents out of one sheet.

[@proudhammer62]

I use a gorilla 2x4x8 with a Volt Led light and a hurricane fan with a phresh carbon filter. Thanks for all the info guys!

[@guy2HIGH]

No matter what grow tent you purchase, make sure that it has good, quality zippers. It’s the zippers that always wear out, or break, first. Once the zippers wear out, you have to buy a new tent.

[@bobparker4404]

Thank you Chris I took a beak and I am going to grow again I got 2 4 x4 tents and dimmable led's love your shows thank you

[@aaronproctor4745]

I went to a 4x8 raised bed a few months ago. Will never go back to pots lol

[@GrowersLove]

Nice! Living soil beds rock! I love my 3x3 rolling beds!

[@psyience3213]

I first started with a $250 kit; tent, light and inline fan. Still fine. Still working. Going on three years. Most of that cheap stuff is good enough. Great thing about Amazon is hey have user reviews. Tent quality doesn’t matter much if you’re placing it in a dark place anyway. I don’t really see one falling apart. They’re all the same, aluminum rods and braces and then different quality canvas to cover it. Lights are where it’s worth spending a little extra money for more efficient lights because that will save you in electricity.

[@camz1039]

Just in time. Chopping as we speak. Great episode! Thank both of you for the content.

[@rightpassage]

That's why I got the ACI 5x5. I like side doors. If only they would add some height to them. Just one foot for the 8-inch fan & light. I need a big one for the EVO10 LED.

[@BigSIPs504]

Finderdry has a VPD based Dehumidifier. FD10, FD30 & FD50 models.

[@bsabbathfan66]

Yep....pt. 2 please!

[@mhma1976]

Excellent episode! Learned a few things, thanks!

[@WATCHMEGOBROKE]

Mr Grow It Drops another Banger‼️🤙

[@RicoRodriguezGrows]

4x4 tent I think the XS4000 is a very capable light. Good show guys! Thanks for doing this!! 👍

[@brandonnewby6384]

Thank you guys!! I have learned so much watching your channel!! I'm very grateful for the info.

[@Superlow2015]

Yes, do a video on auto watering only!! I could really use the information

[@Oldmaninthestream]

Just bought the 4'x4' vivosun tent and it has some light leak pinholes and a manufacturing error on a small piece of Velcro. The company sent me the new Velcro part free and they are fairly easy to deal with. Informative content, thanks guys!

[@stephendrave1876]

Great information, of course we need a part 2, Thanks for all you do

[@lucasnon1070]

Soup! Heck yeah, great guests lately Chris appreciate the info

[@lucasnon1070]

definitely would watch part two. I could always listen to soup spit knowledge on organic gardening too. Thanks again

[@timpage5021]

Migro Array Is bout as perfect as a light can get without the spectrum tuning.

[@wahiawamang6622]

Aloha Chris! About to be a first time grower here. I recently chose the Spider Farmer SF 4000. I wanted safe and of decent quality. What do you think about the light? Thanks again for all the great interviews.. I constantly watch lol. 🤙🤙🤙

[@warangel93]

Good episode part 2 please.

[@ewreck944]

I like to go with overkill lights. I never have to run my lights over 75% power and I verify this with my PPFD meter.. it helps with heat control and the corners are able to get a bit higher PPFD. In my 2x2, I can get 980 PPFD in the center and still over 700 PPFD in the corners. Canopy work goes a long way with this also.

[@BroScience710]

Viparspectra bar style lights are great and affordable. I just run Viparspectra adjustable fans hooked up to ink bird humidity controller and is great price for good value

[@THE_ON3_1990]

My favorite type of video

[@freedom_born]

Damn this dude plugging the expensive equipment. My lights are the only expensive thing I’ve got. Man, this one ain’t for me Chris, *BUT* in saying that @19:31 when you started talking budget(s) for light vs tent size, that’s where you bring it back down to earth - so to speak. Awesome as always man 🤙🏾

[@BroScience710]

Get a decent tent though for sure, ac infinity or gorilla. She make sure ac infinity tent is newer model with light blocking flap behind the zipper.

[@LayneLives]

Wish I’d known about hi cfm kits. Cat closed my flap. 🤣 sucked in so bad I now have tons of light leaks . 😢

[@MegaTraum420nyc]

my 4x4 vivosun tent has light leaks around the stitchings and the zippers & and my mars hydro 3x3 tent has no light leaks but the zipper always gets stuck when I open & close the tent. my bro got the ac infinity 4x4 tent and it's way better quality vs the vivosun & mars hydro tent from the mylar quality even to the zippers. We both run mars hydro LED lights the FC series

[@420Trees]

Just great Chris

[@rosslehmkuhler923]

I just set up my new AC Infinity 4x4 tent and inline fan with the filter. LOVE THEM! The tent is beautiful! It is thick, thick. Has really big poles I have the cheaper fan controller, but a good 6' fan moves a bunch of air. With my new Vipar KS5000 light the #3 setting on the fan works perfect. This tent and ventilation system is working out just perfect.

[@scottietimmons3322]

Love Soup.. what a badass. Wish I could shoot the shit with him too.. thanks Chris..

[@wyattearp2667]

My ac infinity 5x5 has 2 doors and you can unzip 2 of the walls down there's plenty of room for getting around the plants

[@ME-vn2vd]

Ac infinity have a new humidifier which looks pretty good

[@danielmartens156]

Definitely part 2!

[@adammayday6486]

Would love a part 2.

[@cannafarmer]

Please do a part 2! I like my vivosun humidifier but I haven't been able to get a good solution for dehumidifier in the tent, it gets too hot. Think unfortunately summer is autos outdoors and winter is indoor photoperiod seeds unless I can find a solution.

[@tommycurtis1335]

Opulent makes a nice tent

[@user-yc9co2bf2z]

We need part 2

[@jordanselby3275]

If you want to help a new grower…. This guy right here is in major need. I’ve found out I have a black thumb. Please I’m not one to beg but I need help haha I’m pretty invested.

[@TrailBossTatum]

Part 2 would be fire 🔥 🔥🔥

[@joeborovina4769]

Outstanding as always .Thank you and yes for a part 2 !

[@scottietimmons3322]

Part 2!!! For sure!!!

[@michaelmckinney1334]

I’m looking into getting a 2x2x4 compact grow kit from ac infinity to go in the corner of my room out of the wife’s way lol, should I get a humidifier also?

[@jwgrower81]

[@kens420grow2]

Good episode my dude

[@Dino_Hunter_420]

Proscenic 806C is decent 6l tank lasts me 2+ weeks but need to slide the tank out relatively easy refill, wifi remote controlled, but what about the ac infinity humidifier ? Plug in to the 67 controller :) would you fancy doing a review if possible ?

[@BigSIPs504]

Part 2! Part 2!

[@StickyDankFingers]

Part 2 would be great !!

[@Emeraldjack-rd5bx]

Is it safe or nessesery to use surge protectors to protect high wattage grow lights and equipment?

[@Inky1877]

Part 2 please

[@Sproutt]

Round two for sure

[@jeremylacourse960]

Have you ever had any issues with controller 69 making your LED have a light flicker . I’m running a stg 600 watt I tried using the A & B adapter but I get flickering once connected

[@tory464]

💚👍great information, now I just need money. ✌

[@GrowersLove]

Doesnt take much to get started! Start small and upgrade when you can!

[@tory464]

I'm started , 3 years . Just things break, and can't get ahead. 💚👍✌

[@michaell1032]

Yeah part ,,2,,

[@timpage5021]

Terra bloom is pretty great fan. I replaced my overpriced Hyper fan and it’s an exact copy at a fraction of the price..

[@mhma1976]

Part ii requested!

[@dbells626]

I'm starting my first grow and failing miserably lol.

[@timothytousseau331]

Bring on round 2

[@timpage5021]

Walden by Active Grow . Hands down best 4x4 tent on the market best design and value for dollar. If you scrog Walden is the best tent. But also Gorilla is spectacular tent and the extra height can come in clutch to help cool the area.

[@FarmerBrown420]

I have the shorty cus gg tent I need 63 in high max but biggest

[@misocrazysoup]

I wanted to hear about auto water systems

[@onlyshorts-666]

Part 2 welcomed

[@jeremyhula931]

Give Us a Part 2.

[@doobetter5074]

Can I water with R.O water with dry amendments in coco?

[@maskedmofomike]

part 2! please

[@jeffallen62]

Man I went smaller...put a 4 inch in a 5x5 tent.

[@StickyDankFingers]

Part 2 would be great. Thank you

[@larrylynn7260]

Yes please part 2 would be excellent 👏

[@jirvin3170]

Ac has the lite version for 99$ for 6 inch ...dude starts talking about it soon as I start texting lol

[@bill1863]

Part 2!

[@maskedmofomike]

i'm a new grower and i have a question. when do you stop watering? do you water up to harvest?

[@maskedmofomike]

i might mix coco and soil, like 1/3 coco. and maybe get some bigger fabric containers to leave about 4 inches of space at the top of the pot for a lot of constant top dressing every time i water

[@GrowersLove]

I water all the way up to harvest. Well hydrated plants will dry a little bit slower, which is what we want for best flavor. Nice 10-14 day dry at cool temps. 👍

[@maskedmofomike]

@@GrowersLove thinks for the reply. i been stress'n them out a little. i didn't water for the last couple days and they look pretty sad. i said f it and watered some just a few hours ago and they already look 10 times better

[@growingatthebeach9186]

SOUP🤘✌️

[@c10live16]
