10:00 try VansilW10 thank me later BeastCoast!! well, thank Bugbee hahaha he recommended. Amazing replacement Cal/Silica/Mg. Organic (mined in Upstate NY) water soluble immediately plant available AND long lasting! Sounds too good to be true but it's not, been running it second run now, no Cal defs in sight!! (with RO water). can get 5lbs for less than like $20 delivered hahah I loved the description/comment of worms and job sites btw 🤣🤣🤣

thanks bro

[@ESVAGROWER]

I really love to hear BeastCoastGrowers transitioned indoor grow to complete no till. And it’s a pleasure to hear about his process. By far one of my favorite podcasts yet! Keep killin it guys!🔥

[@7munkee]

Beast is one of my favorites. I follow BeastCoast Grower, Garden Talk, Highagin, and Buildasoil and I try catch From the Stash. Recently I have been watching Bill Ward also. I grew up with parents who were big no till gardening in the 70's and 80's but I still learn stuff from KZbin.

[@Titanium369]

AWESOME- thanks for all these great video's.

[@jollymelloncolly]

If you are worried about PH up and Down. Use lemon juice to PH down and Baking powder for PH up they work a treat..

[@timpage5021]

They work in a pinch but they’re not stable. Fill up a gallon of tap water drop some lemon juice ph to 6.2 . Leave it sit a an hour or 2 and it’ll be pretty close to right back where it was.

[@jollymelloncolly]

@@timpage5021 Really.. I've just done 2 runs with no problems using them. But maybe I got lucky. I'm deffo going to check that. thanks..

[@backbone93]

And what are you doing now? I wanna add if you use lemon juice then adjust the oh twice, the it should be more stable Do it the first time when you fill up your tank, let it sit for a day, then adjust it again Then it should be more stable

[@MN_Grow_Bro]

I prefer citric acid personally. Little goes a very long ways and actually benefits the plant.

[@jamesuhallmusic]

We're in our fifth year of sun grown no till living soil here in northern MI. Started our 100 gal pots with 1/3 composted cow manure, 1/3 Pro Mix, 1/3 large perlite. Have had good success just top dressing with lots of Uncle Jim's worm castings and Roots Organic Uprising dry amendments (all three parts). Using mostly rain water with some well water. We use straw for a mulch layer but want to get into cover crops. Been a beautiful grow season, girls are frosty and getting some nice fall colors on the Red Congolese and Ice Cream Cake. Happy harvest growmies!

[@joshfowler1163]

Nice that's how it's done you guys should look into organics alive my secret weapon you are deemed worthy cause I like your set up lol organics alive !

[@jamesuhallmusic]

Looked into Organics Alive, seems like a great product just a bit out of our price range. We did add in some Recharge this year. Growing the Ice Cream Cake again, Purple Sunset, Periwinkle Pie, Greezy and Lemon Frosting. Fingers crossed for a nice cool, dry fall finish

[@robertjones6272]

​@@jamesuhallmusic I live in northern MI, you sell clones?

[@Jonilink]

So no compost? Idk about the claim that he doesn't need to feed when he's buying store bought soils that HAVE fertilizer in it? how does that work? 🤔

[@beastcoastgrower4207]

well we know that fertilizer is gone after round 1 im on round 3

[@Jonilink]

And still the same growing results?

Wow what a show 🎉 stinging weed, awesome ty… so much this fellow helped me with, so much just like him in the mind lol peace Grow Grow….. whoooo yeah PASSING THA LOVE TO ALL even to people who don’t grow lol Also this is my first yr and grow inside, been growing outdoors for 30+ so you know this is awesome to see this for me, he made my mind up….❤

[@braedannicoloff5210]

50/30% soil to manure with 20% organic potting mix containing perlite, humus, sand and peat moss and than just top dress manure and the organic potting mix when needed, also in flower have been trying gaia green organic power bloom for the beginning to mid flower and just water for rest(may add in some organic pk boosts or nitrogen when needed like bananas, greens, even the leafs from the plant usually in veg) but if looking healthy i don't do much outdoor organics can be really easy if you dont over think it! still a beginner 2nd outdoor grow with some nice plants did an auto this time with some photos have had good success with just tap water no ph or anything hope this helps dont give up anyone can do organics!

[@GerardoGonzalez-mu9ls]

Everyone who has children understands, 😂 I go through the same thing

[@42organicgrow10]

I also don’t quite understand what you meant when you said I choose the pro mix with less perlite for a notill approach , less perlite means more compaction, less oxygen , which in notill can only get worse so it doesn’t make sense to me that you would choose the mix with less areation… also pumice is a great substitute for perlite , it doesn’t flow up to the top thats its main advantage .. I would say more aeration is better in notill , choosing a less perlite in your case would be setting youself up for soil compaction and problems …

[@beastcoastgrower4207]

because in to till i need the soil to retain moisture helping to keep soil life alive promix hp is more for sythetic use bx is used for building soil and nope no compaction thats what cover crop worms ect handle for me my soil is soft and loomy but it would have a ton of dry pockets if i used hp

[@sethstokes9905]

8:30 my first indoor grow I just grabbed some soil outside put it in a pot put some seeds down and did nothing but water lol - they did flower and finish

[@WATCHMEGOBROKE]

Ive found the best soil is a 50/50 mix of Foxfarm ocean forest and Coco coir with added perlite and worm castings. It wont burn your plants,it retains moisture and doesnt get hydrophobic 👌

[@greggy553]

If you use compost worms in your garden you need to mulch, deep mulch. My garden is 6 years no till, and the worms live there year round.

Hell yea this is what I'm setting up right now acouple months ago I got a 4 by 8 tent so in building a bed for one side I've been trying so many different media's I got auto pots with grow dots some with 3.0 I also have plants with miracle grow potting mix feeds up to 6 months and they are beautiful there in 10 gallon pots they are blowing up the only ones im having trouble with is ff ocean forest with a k deficiencies has anybody else have this problem

[@timturk1899]

For Organic/Natural No Till soils, MIRACLE GRO and DOTS(I got some to try separately for one plant, though) and other MINERAL SALT NUTRIENTS WILL KILL OFF WHAT NO TILL RELIES ON! Much Respect for trying The No Till, just only use Organic/Natural ingredients. BAS's 3.0 is Excellent though! I've been using their Craft Blend, in a Super Soil kind of mix, along with "Mankind's Canna Soil" Nutrient mix, from eBay, which is excellent for No Till. These two mixes each had over 10-12 different sources of nutrients, leading to incredible diversity. I'm still growing with a Peat based mix/EWC/Perlite/some Coco, other nutrients in 3 gallon felt pots. Great advice here! Sounds like you're doing everything perfect, except Mineral Salts/Non Organics(but maybe you've changed that, and I missed it..?). Sounds like you watch The Build A Soil channel..? They're doing exactly what you're practicing, and they're really great people. Just in case you're not watching it, you'll love the channel, I promise! Have a great, growing weekend!👍

[@jwgrower81]

Yes sir I have 3.0 in ten gallon pots top dress with kraftblend im bored so I got a bunch of pots with a bunch of different soil coco some all organic some alil of both

[@scottfree6479]

I personally favor synthetic but this man is amazing. No matter what style of growing we have we can all learn from each other

[@Tinfoiledhat]

@slackjaw all of those things are subject to the growers skill of drying and curing, not nutrients. The plants know NO difference between nutrients. My synthetic coco plants smell the whole neighborhood up lol

[@scottfree6479]

@slackjaw I care about flavor, smell, and burn. That's why I grow synthetic. I also care about the environment. I believe it produces superior quality in every way, which is why I do it. I also know other folks get their best results with other methods. Different strokes for different folks.

[@backbone93]

​@@scottfree6479 unless you tried both, i cant believe anything you say without seeing and trying your product Every grower says his stuff is the best stuff, its just too much ego involved Every single organic grower says organic gives best flavour and best smoke, and the synthetic guys say the opposite And the good weed you get, you never know how it is made

[@scottfree6479]

@@backbone93 I never said my stuff was the best stuff, I just prefer synthetic. I studied chemistry in college and I know how it works. It's easy to use, clean, and effective. I don't care what style you use, but mine works very well for me. I don't understand why people are pretentious about this. Just relax man, it's all about life, growing, and nurturing these wonderful plants. As long as your method makes you happy what else matters?

[@backbone93]

@@scottfree6479 "i studied chemistry" is not a very telling or convincing argument You speak like you got it figured out, like every single grower on the internet does, organic guys swear it gives the best taste,... Synthetic growers also say the same The difference in my observation is that organic growers dont do it for yield but synthetic growers do So the logical conclusiin would be synthetical growers are using confirmation bias to convince themselves they got the best product or the best way But at the same time i often get good weed which probably grown synthetically I just wonder why is there so much garbage products on the market? And why are the no manuals on how to grow good stuff, if so many people can do it? Im not here to challenge you or something, i wanna learn But if 10 people tell you 10 different, opposite things, thats hard The more i research the less i know about these things,and the less sure i am in what to do, or what to try I feel like most of the stuff is misinformation and exactly what you say, pretentious I wanna grow better products, i did synthetic and organic, organic does taste a little bit better, does yield less in MY expirience, but i find it really hard to get a grip on some trustworthy valid information Most is just people claiming theyr way is the best way and then saying "but you can so it how you want "tHatS jUst hOw i dO iT" That sounds so unproffessional and pretentious Those people just want clicks, they dont care about informing you

[@MistaTerps]

I put the spent soil & rootballs back into the bags the came in & leave them outside for about a year, when I go back to them they’re full of worms & all the roots are broken down & it’s good to go again with some organic amendments.

My favorite ph down is MOLASSES. A tiny amount works. Make sure you dilute a little bit.

[@backbone93]

Ph = the amount of hydrogen in the water How does adding molasses change the hydrogen concentration in the water?

[@kr38tve]

@backbone lol. Great question 🤔. But, I have no idea! I do know for a fact: everytime I put molasses in water the ph goes down a lot. With 5ml per gallon in R/O water it will drop it from 8ph to 4.5 everytime....

[@backbone93]

@@kr38tve i dont get it either i wanna learn all there is to know about these things Molasses doesnt seem very acidic to me, i really wonder why it lowers the ph and what is going on when you do it

[@42organicgrow10]

I agree with most things .. But at least from my experience fox farm is a bad soil , the burn you see is not from nutrients in the soil , its because its a very low quality soil that has tons of sodium excesses and heavy metal excesses that are burning your plants, making nutrients harder to access , and especially seedlings don’t like it … I use Build A Soil all around plus BAS products , and I used to use lots of fox farm … its literally like a night and day difference , the 3.0 blend has a bucket load more ingredients than fox farm and I plant seedlings right into that and they don’t burn , so fox farm is not hot at all , its just an unbalanced , cheap commercial soil full of excesses and it actually doesn’t have barely any nutes in it , it has enough bat guano to last 20-30 days so really not that much , thats barely a half cup of bat guano per bag , ridiculously low in nutrients ! The build a soil is literally the way to go , may cost you a little more upfront but the soil is perfectly balanced and you can run it forever . I have x4 15 gallons and do notill I’m on my 4th round and never had major issues at all , the runs get better and better each time , bigger juicer nugs each run ! All documented on the channel ! You are running it with local forest soil and that will improve it much , immagine if you do what you are doing which is great and just use build a soil instead of fox farm , you would see stellar improvements I think .. Thank You for this episode , great video !! Cheerz bros 🔥🔥💨💨

[@mopar426power]

I love and respect BeastCoast but the one thing I disagree with is the "layering" technique. In nature, the majority of nutrients are in the top layer. I run my no till based on that principal and it works great. Obviously he does what works for him. The best part about gardening is there are so many ways to get to the final end product. Do what works for you!

[@Tinfoiledhat]

Agree...rookie idea honestly. I just mix something like FFOF, bat guano, seabird guano, and some perlite and gradually transplant to bigger pots leaving obviously the bigger for flower. People make shit too complicated lol

[@beastcoastgrower4207]

yes but also in nature they have unlimited soil to reach through beds are still a container so if i just focus on the top the bigger the plants get the less food is available and after 1 or 22 rounds the nutrient cycles through the entire bed
