I love this podcast for the technical discussions

[@deanthechamp5669]

Thank you for the wealth of knowledge and info, appreciate you guys immensely.

[@WeTheGrowers]

Thanks for watching! We appreciate you bro.

[@joshshiflet113]

Best cast on the platform!!!! Keep them coming!!

[@WeTheGrowers]

Thanks bro! We appreciate you.

[@shutupkarl5389]

​@WeTheGrowers great show bro honestly. But hasn't jungle been falling off the past few years ? Interested in running Athena just not sure

[@ramelvicks9448]

Amazing information helps me on level I can’t explain, respect for giving away the knowledge 🌞💗👑7️⃣

[@andybee3785]

Reason why sea of green is the way less labour quicker harvests, clone, 5-10 day veg, flip

[@rickmichaels8484]

Could y’all please do a lil question portion on every podcast just about irrigation schedules. P1, 2,3 etc. shot sizes, lengths , shot counts, maintenance drybacks, nightly drybacks etc. that’s one area there isn’t a lot of info on. Appreciate it!!

[@kylegobey1231]

Clone coach on KZbin

[@Slider821tube]

at 1:35:00 on plant density, Mike says 1.6 plants per sqft but later says 3 plants on a 5ft wide table. thats 1.66 sqft per plant not 1.66 plants per sqft which would be 8plants on a 5ft wide. just want to clarify that! great podcast, i learned a lot as always

[@Podunk]

I was trying to figure out same thing

[@WeTheGrowers]

Hey, apologies for the confusion. It’s 3 plants across a 5’ bench which is 1 plant for 1.66 sqft

[@Podunk]

@@WeTheGrowers so to match that style for my table 5x24 it’s about 75 plants

[@theboutiquegrower4617]

Why would you need someone else to truly decide how many plants to put under a light?

[@marcogonzalez6972]

It is just amazing the amount of crucial topics that they covered in this episode. Thank you very much guys. Awsome video :D

[@justinstewart3176]

Love the pod bro!! Always an abundance of knowledge much luv for the plant🌱

[@TheMafiaGrowShow]

This podcast is normalizing synthetic growing. You guys show off how intricate it can be 🤟

[@theboutiquegrower4617]

Mimosa is a great strain. It’s true to its name in smell and taste. High def isn’t very hard hitting but it is definitely a great smoke flavor wise and in one that translates from the name to the smoke. 💯

[@CalMag-42069]

Thanks enjoyed the podcast nice job the Village. Instead of sulfur have you heard of Osmoslay for killing the broad mites and russet mites? It is spray on, kills all soft bodied insects and mites (it imbalances the water molecules), doesn't stress the plants, short withholding period, non-toxic, no residue. Even works in a humidifier as a tent bomb. I don't want to post a link here cos I'm not advertising but you can google it. Its eradicated broad mites for me and has many confirmed kills under 1000x microscope.

[@official_mrpothead]

As always dope podcast

[@eliseoperez4523]

Yup

[@n_pirate546]

Is it an Athena thing to pump high EC? If I ran anymore than like 2.2 EC my poor girls would be fried to all hell lmao

[@fNUN3Zc]

Need that mimosa cut for deps 😬

[@theboutiquegrower4617]

🤣

[@juwanndunlap]

I like this man sounds like me

[@sspooky_6.2]

Budologist?

[@scottietimmons3322]

If you take something 20 percent, grow it, get 15, it's your fault. Grow problems. Imo. Seems like most feel they're doing something, by going backwards for a few years... Rookie move..😊

[@juwanndunlap]

I would like to work under that men even for free

[@theboutiquegrower4617]

😳 Jesus.
