WOW ! AMAZING ! Really learned a lot.. AGAIN...This was so informational I have to save it. Always learning from you Chris.. The biology of the plant, and the plant soil, life in the soil, (ALL OF IT). Is what I'm interested in. From the life in the dirt to the cola. I want to know everything in between. Thanks again for Chris for this video 🤜🌟🤛🪴🪴🪴

[@nodescriptionavailable3842]

Yes! this is what I’m transitioning too, would love to just water my soil and just use liquid nutrients when necessary or not at all, those A.N. bottles spill more than they go where you want ffs lol

I love the fact that you brought that up about them people about organics and how everything is broke down organically in science that's funny a real good one I love it😊😂

[@crymoregrowz3769]

I used your code for ac infinity thanks for saving me 50 bucks

[@Doejhin]

But also that flushing of the plant that's necessary to get some of those acquired tastes out that you would apply during your grow I mean that's always necessary which is usually a 2 or so weak process prior to you're end of flowering.. before harvest.. least for me..😊

AAWWWEE....YYEEEEAAAA Another Banger.. great information as usual. Thank you Mr.Growit

[@cannafarmer]

I take my egg shells and cook them at 375 for 30 mins and pulverize them in a mortar and postal. They seem to break down fine. Also cook apple peels bannana peels, used coffee grounds and make dry amendments and the I just water molasses with water and a compost tea the other time. Seems to work.

[@BrianM-44041]

Add burnt cucumber peels.

Very helpful, some killer stuff. Thank you 💚👍

[@timpage5021]

Yep just a byproduct., Bonemeal is a good source of calcium besides phosphorus. I use both fish bonemeal and bonemeal.

[@gtavtheavengergunnerlegend3340]

Just know it's not readily available they need time to break down

[@bustalungtoo]

Awesome🤘

[@DavidWood-qw8rq]

It all breaks down to the elements - salts or “organic” lol

[@gtavtheavengergunnerlegend3340]

That's true

[@BrianM-44041]

There are different kinds of bat guano. Some is high phosphorus and some is high nitrogen, some is a balanced mix. Seabird guano is the same. Some is high n but some such as DTE are all phosphorus 0-11-0. Bat guano is more dependent on diet of the particular bat species (fruits, insects, etc.). Bat guano from bats that eat insects also contains chitin.

[@cb.growmie8633]

anyone here use fishbone meal i was gifted it and wantes more info. doni give it to my plants at the transition like he says with bone meal

[@gtavtheavengergunnerlegend3340]

Bone meal takes weeks to break down.

[@Scc-gn6kk]

In last 10 days of flower temp got to 100°!!! Well that stress prolong my flower time?

[@freedom_born]

10 days of heat stress over 100? Or 10 days ago for just one day. If it was one day, it’ll be fine. If it unfortunately was the whole aforementioned 10 days (man that would suck!)… with possibility of more days like that in future. Then it’ll do both slow your growth & affect your end yield. If you’re early flower, it’ll recover. If you’re mid to late flower, it’ll suffer.

[@Scc-gn6kk]

Bats with an insect diet are nitrogen rich. Bats that eat fruit have high phosphorus guano

[@brandysigmon9066]

Thank you, I didn't know that. I thought it was from the way the guano broke down but I was purely guessing.

[@roostershooter76]

I own horses and buy Alfalfa Pellets anyway. Why can't I use them instead of overpriced processed Alfalfa Meal? There are no additives in the Alfalfa Pellets I buy. I already compost their manure.

[@gtavtheavengergunnerlegend3340]

You can. Also use chicken grit instead of perlite for drainage. It's way better and cheaper. And over time provides micro nutrients

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Great information Chris, thanks! I'll have to go back and watch part one again. One point about bat guano. Insect eating bats make guano with lots of nitrogen. Fruit eating bats have phosphorous rich crap. So if you don't know what kind of bats the guano comes from you can't know which nutrients will be most prevalent. I think Clackamas Coot has the right idea with using your own worm castings. He teaches how to feed the worms the right diet so you don't need to add amendments to soil as much. If you can get black soldier flies to show up your compost/castings will be even better because they can digest meat and other things that worms can't eat, and they don't seem to bother each other. Plus the waste of one feeds the other one. If you feed the worms and BSF right you don't need bat or bird guano, or a bunch of other separate ingredients.

[@davidbryden7904]

Not even fish or other high nitrogen food? Just teas and top dressing? Excellent! I prefer to go with non- animal manure, like frass.

[@Doejhin]

So then the fat what about crude fat.. From say what I have available cuz I have guinea pigs Timothy Hay question is would that work a .. like the alfalfa.. Or would there be something that would coincide to fight the plant..

[@Doejhin]

Wow you even get into the fish this is cool I love your videos dude I got a smile on my face you hit on everything just I haven't watched all your videos yet and I will someday.. least I'm living it with you.. I once had a little garden when I was living in a trailer park.. But that little turned very very big very quick... I also acquired some other fertilizers as well and plant foods to the soil... They all grew gigantis I had 40 some odd cherry tomatoes on a vine some were the size of a golf ball if not bigger.. that was just one of the vines even though they were clutter f*****.. They still grew and the cherry tomatoes were bigger than they should have ever been tasted like a cherry and more like a fruit.. I even brought these things to a few different produce companies just to show them they even tasted them.. And we're amazed But what I was getting at is that fish thing I planted a whole bunch of fish underneath my garden about down to the clay basin where I live it's a lot of sand and clay down about 3 ft... the fish could rot and that was prior to my initial start to my garden I let it rot for about a year whole season or so.. 😂 it worked great but really stunk for about 3 or 4 months LOL...

What’s the biggest pot you have used for one plant? I’ve never grown. About to in a 2’x4’ and am thinking one plant. My light is rated good for a 3’x3’. I’ve watched and done some research and am thinking one plant in a 10 gallon. Living soil. A possible snag I heard the other day is the added humidity from more soil. Is that or anything else a downside to a 15 gallon one plant setup? I keep learning from you Mr. Grow Thank you sir 🤙🤙

[@Doejhin]

I think the 731 is exactly what I got the down-to-earth bat guano.. I heard you can like put it to your compost pile.. To break down further prior to putting it to your plant that might have been the reason why you acquired The taste I'm going to find out

[@davidsalmela1563]

✌❤from Arizona. Thanks Mr.Growit. Exactly what I need to see.😎👍

[@russellesimonetta9071]

Interesting,,, but. You can basically take your seed to harvest with food by products we throw away!! Chicken bones in the oven or dehydrator into a grinder voila bone meal, fish bones and shin. Dehydrate or bake dry and grind fish meal. Poptato peels, banana peels apple dryed or baked and ground pottasium and trace minerals . Coffee grounds, egg shells, . Boil and make teas. Water from rinsing rice. Sit for a week covered with cheese cloth, then a quart of milk into that ,again sit for a week, remove the whey. Then mix with ten quarts of water and molassass. Again sit for a week. You have a super colony bacteria jump start for your organic weed grow!!! Just a little mixed into water goes a long way! Wow so much to learn.

For your plants to take amino acids they need to be in L form so L glutamine for instance will be your natural nitrogen ammendment

Love your podcast. Can you do one on “curing”? From what is curing? How important it is for the final hurdle of smoking your harvest before it was properly cured. That is a problem most GrowRoom across the world are having issues with. Ideas???

[@fromseed2weed210]

Most growers know how to grow, they just don’t know how to harvest. Not many videos on this topic. you have a good point.

[@BrianM-44041]

I may do one sometime now that it's legal in Ohio to grow. Curing is massively important as is proper drying. It makes the difference between hay/grass smell and taste, and the stinkiest smelliest sticky icky. Dry it by hanging the entire plant(above soil only) upside down in a dark, cool room with a slight breeze of air flow until the branches almost snap but still have some bend (inner moisture). Trim either before hanging or after then put in jars or grove bags, or other curing appropriate space. Leave for about 2 to 4 weeks in this container, checking occasionally to prevent excessive moisture and provide fresh air for the curing process during which the buds off-gas certain things and ferment somewhat. Similar to a cigar humidor or dry aging beef. Humidity depends on your preferences. Always keep cool and dark. Sunlight degrades the dry flowers. If you need numbers dry your plants at 60 to 65 degrees f and cure at around 62, same temps. Flower cured like this will be fresh and best used within 3 months from end of cure. Vacuum sealing it and freezing can work for longer term storage.

[@michaelteran3844]

I love the videos and I hope my spews on here help somebody else along their way or give at least some thoughts to get the mind going..

[@roydenisduggan]

I think that you mean terpenes, rather than trichome that are produced as secondary metabolites. My understanding is that trichome are for a/sexual reproduction, rather than plant defence, which terpenes may be a by product.

[@machete165]

For the bat guano it depends from where the guano is harvested. Mine is from Malaysia, wich means that it is super high in phosphorus (NPK 1-20-1). But it depends obviously on what the bat eats.

[@PeterKKraus]

I use super soil cooked for 28 days.. I am very confused as to how I am supposed to water my plants in 5 gallon pots? Some say water till run off. Some say only put like .5 gallons of water every few days to keep it moist. Help!

[@greenzeke941]

Get a soil moisture reader. They are like $12 US. Water 10% of soil (if you are using ten gallon pots water 1 gallon). In your case half gallon. The stage of the plant determines how often to water but you want to water when the meter reads around 3-4. wilting stage is around 3.

[@timpage5021]

When using super soil or organic dry amendments you don’t wanna water to run off. Not a significant amount of run off any ways. You wanna water less volume at 1 time but more frequently.,Need to keep the soil moist but not saturated. Now synthetic bottled nutrients you wanna water to significant run off and have that dry back tlll you water again. So yea who told you to water .5 or so is correct but again water frequently but less volume at 1 time..

[@brandysigmon9066]

I wonder if it has different properties as it breaks down, for example the first few weeks of decomp it might be full nitrogen but another 4 weeks and it might have depleted it's nitrogen and now is full of phosphorus.. I have no idea this was purely a guess.
