Thanks to Wendy Kornberg of Sunnabis for coming onto the podcast today! Wendy’s Instagram- bit.ly/3U8mn6b

[@laconflo1613]

Wendy has been doing this for awhile now. She definitely knows her stuff!

[@Turdfergusen382]

First Grow is going great. I attribute my success thus far to you and your guests. Thank you all 🙏

[@GardenTalkwithMrGrowIt]

That’s so cool to hear! Cheers!

[@beerye3750]

Good stuff!

[@camz1039]

I value these types of videos so much. Growing indoor plants is fun, rewarding and provides medicine to those who need it, but this stuff teaches you to feed yourself. Living without medicine can be painful but living without nutrient dense food will literally kill you slowly. Great video!

Great one chris. Wendy is a stright g to growing world..love this content ,been getting away from bottles and going stright low till no till orangic best as possible..so really appreciate this one..thanks mr.grow it

[@ejethrogaede4890]

A great conversation/episode, Chris! Wendy has a wealth of knowledge!

[@billlumberg5746]

I really like using pepper plants as a cover crop works great and you also get peppers.

[@randallflagg9922]

Kis organics was on FCP the other day saying the same thing, cover crops can become a literal harbor for the pests. Mulching indoors was the better option I think 🤔

[@busyb4283]

I am organic and have been for 2 years. I have some amazing runs. I use BAS 3.0 and some of their other products. Along with gaia green, and some terp teas from roots organic. Lots of microbs for inoculation. Next step for me is to have some custom size grass roots beds made. Already had them quoted, just have to pull the trigger.

[@rollmeonekenobie]

Great information Wendy, and Chris..both channels have improved my growing skills, I would love doing a grow talk with you Chris, I have over 40 years experience growing cannabis...✌️

[@mannyfreshbuds]

Back in the days I got all my knowledge from Humboldt County it's funny now I know why I went through the same problems. It's like she's talking about my first years of gardening great video

[@karl532]

Another great perspective on organic gardening. Everyone is different and their environment is different. People get success and failures where others do or don't so to get all these different perspectives helps. Thanks Wendy & Chris for sharing.

[@yep5689]

For sure I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but the no till does not work for me at all but everything else I got down so far but eventually I’m going to get it one day

[@karl532]

@@yep5689 well if you ever decide to try again, I suggest checking out the build a soil channel. Jeremy has a way of explaining it very well and its whole process correctly. Lots of misinformation out there! Either way grow your own and support your local companies!

[@freedom_born]

Love it. Man just listening to her teach and talk experience. *Awesome As Always* Chris. Solid ep.

[@ChadnRanda]

Great video beginning to end again!!! Wide use methods, not just focused on cannibas, smart i hope youtube catches on,! Under 100k subs is "high"ly suspicious !?! Thanks Chris..

What a great episode, wow! Lots to digest.

[@jimbowie9595]

Hi Chris. I love Wendy she great wish i was closer to her😍😍

[@ladybluandanubis2996]

Hi Chris my name is Ashlea my husband Anthony and I enjoy your videos and apon watching this video we thought you'd gave a great guest Garden like a Viking Nate Muri. We are both fans of yours and Nates! We had started a channel Amp420 but with content regulations it's crazy lol. Garden like a Viking makes everything himself. He has great content and we're sure you'd like as well. Hope you have a great day!

Harvesting from the forest isnt killing the forest.

[@Crawdaddy1420]

Thank you so much for this! I have a3800 with a very nice tiller attachment & never used it Because I didn’t want to kill microbes! Shallow tilling like 2” ok?

[@minibite3]

What plants can I companioncrop that loves low pH and goes above my covercrop? Im thinking bout strawberries but its gotta be a taller alternative?

[@Frei_Sinn]

Hey Chris, you got to bring her back to discuss a nice and easy organic soil recipe for the indoors! Pretty please! As learning to win is best to be learnt from a winner!

[@forexstrider]

Good vid. She is in the condition she's in because she is of the modern food mindset and have been weakened and deranged. If this lady lived properly she would know great health and capability comes from knowing yourself and living wisely. Plants undisturbed in nature are also less plugged up and polluted. People that care for themselves properly are as well. The modern man is a mess.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

If a spoonful of soil from outside has 1000s of species of microbiology it sounds like you could get a cup full and toss it in a gallon of water to innoculate your indoor garden. It should multiply if the soil is good. I wonder if the winter cold limits the amount of biology in the soil outside? I can go to a local park with woods where deer live, it should be pretty good soil.

[@DaveM-mp6yu]

I think I missed something. First you mention bugs in a bottle as a poor system if you have to reapply every few weeks but then you collect and culture the natural biomes baterial/fungi etc and the reapply every so often. Does that not contradict what you said about them self replicating in a healthy biological system?

[@Sourman5000]

I grow my own alfalfa. Never used it as mulch but it too is a nitrogen fixer and I can make my own organic alfalfa meal.

[@brockramsey3227]

In the south we till up to 30in for corn. Sucks that’s how ag industry is. Have to max profits. I would love to not till and just plant just not possible to get the same yield

[@TheAubreePWI]

"Easy to care for plants like ferns." someone lied to you. Unless you can keep your rooms upwards to 70% humidity for most, your gonna kill it.

[@metasamsara]

I'm still at 11mn so maybe it's answered later, but one thing I really wonder about tilling for biodiversity is if the answer is the same in very different biomes, for instance where I live the soil is similar to over there where it rains a lot and it hammers the earth into a compact hardened mud, vegetation is a plenty here, but there isn't a lot of yielding plants in the wild, mostly herbs and berries if you're looking to forage for subsistance. The rest is mostly trees and shrugs and grass and some moss. But it's colder side of temperate climate that stays mostly humid unless it really dries up in summer for a few weeks. but the big difference with the PNW here in europe is what's under the earth, it is mostly chalk and some clay, not a super rich soil life like in the US. I wonder if tilling makes more sense in those conditions than in a super rich ecosystem. I heard it affects frost during the winter also which could be an issue for perennials such as artichoke which id love to grow. i know some people dogrow it in my area with semi success, but most the ones you find in stores are imported and full of bugs so I want to dig into why myself. its one of my favorite plants and historically present in our culture so there must be a way to make it work.

[@thebullcooks7634]

Thanks to Wendy and fam on her farm. Keep these Bangers coming Chris 💪🪴

[@northeastgreen1174]

Watched alot of your videos bro. Love what your doing and I'm doing what is supposed to be done,z soaking up that knowledge

[@mateuszrutkowski9198]

Thank you for your contribution my friend😁. Im from Poland where the grow is treated on the same level as crack unfortunately. Got my grow on day 4, still quite early but all 3 plants seem happy 😊. Do you have a Fb page that I can contact if I run into trouble where I can contact you directly or maybe na email? Your videos have helped me a bunch in understanding the process as well as many alternatives. Your golden brother, you once said this is like fuel for you, stay great and Thanks again🖐️

[@yanni246]

19:39 wow municipal compost though! I never thought about the toxins and pesticides!

[@beerye3750]

Haven't watched the whole video yet, but is there any point trying to inoculate my soil with microbes and fungi when growing in pots in a grow tent?

[@25Patman]

Chris, is the best they have right now. Numero uno !!! Thanks man for everything.

[@KevinModz65]

Lawd good info but this lady has the gift of gab

[@klaussteinberg6293]

This surface tilling I am testing here in puglia/Italy.bought a Goldoni traktor(20)years old helps putting stones away and hopefully find a reasonable woodchipper trying to mulch and covercrop. 8month no rain until a few days ago planting here starts now.summertime here is easily 45 to 50 Celsius in the sun. I’m just trying and keep on experimenting.

I learned everything I know from her fb groups

[@geraldblount4159]

This is the content I like this is the stuff I like to hear not that repeated stuff like put your plant in the dark for 3 days or turn it around 20 times to the left this is real science Wendy knows her stuff now you got to get Ashley and Robert the Yoda of growing weed the buck stops at Robin I like Matt I like a lot of other skilled people but he's the Yoda

[@felixmikolai7375]

JADAM is the way for me :) but i must say im in small space and got no problem with such cement like clay/dirt x)

[@felixmikolai7375]

but i see.. she looked into jadam aswell :) good girl!

[@BroScience710]

Top dress, worm casting, fpj, Mammoth p, mykrobs, fish sh!t, and cover crops orulch layers... all good stuff. Build a soil products always produce great mycelium and end results. Hell of a learning curve though.

Great video! Glad to hear I’m not the only one who thinks using a tillther is low till not no till.

[@ACAquatics]

Thank you for everything you do. My wife has stage 4 metastatic breast cancer and I have a rare incurable neurological condition called Arachnoiditis. We're both users of the plant we all know and love and it has been extremely beneficial in our quality of life. I have been watching you for about a year now and I'm currently on my 1st grow. Have a complete AC Infinity 4x4 with S44 Ionboard for light. I'm using 50/50 FF Happy Frog and Oceans forest and just started 5 autoflower seedlings (One doesn't look like it's going to make it) in their forever 5gal fabric pots. They're on AC Infinity auto watering bases. 18/6 light cycle. Temp. 74°night-78°day. Humidity 60-65%. I'm using Fox Farm nutrients for now because it's what my wife already had for her vegetable garden. Any suggestions, advice, tips, or NoNos would be greatly appreciated and thanks again for everything you do...🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

Another banger Chris 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@manonthemoon34]

once again, really great information Mr. Grow it! really helpful to find out another perspective on organic growing. the practical information gives more insight as to the different methods and when to apply them. personally, its been a real intense experience trying organic farming due to the amount of variables. putting the theory into practice requires another set of skills completely. If you can, a video on building a soil for medicinal plants would be great. went thorugh 3 months of trying different mixes of soil and aeration before i realised these plants need an relatively inert, airy medium which is then amended. finally found coco, peat moss and rock combinations rule. I noticed each have different physical - rather than nutrient, qualities that can add stability and flexibility to changing conditions - an extra safety measure when growing in pots. it took a whole lot of stress to get to the point where i was comfortable with the medium. so, it would be really helpful to find out the science behind it, or even just how to wash, prep, filter and treat various types of media such as coco, peat moss etc including others such as tree bark and wood chips/saw dust, that create the right texture. thank you for the great content

[@metasamsara]

[@adamgava4199]

I watched a water shortage documentary that might give more insight into the lack of organic alfalfa mulch available.. Alfalfa is a very water hungry crop, with the water shortages in some areas alfalfa farmers have had to only plant 50% of their normal crops this year. So organic alfalfa may not be a viable mulch option going into the future until they are able to produce more.

[@PeterKKraus]

Buy alphalpa seeds and use it as cover crop to fix nitrogen?

[@GardenTalkwithMrGrowIt]

I was sad :(

[@Brag-cs8sd]

Chris is in love ;)

[@gratefultedd969]

Firstly I'm not very familiar with KNF so I have an honest question... is the Knf method completely ignoring the fungal aspect of soil? Secondly the method of low til is honestly a waste of energy. Top dress, mulch and keep adding mulch. This method is no different than plain old tilling. Your breaking the fungle connections and exposing your biome to air and light.
