An Introduction into Cannabis Nutrients: How to get your plants to thrive 

I'm on this same journey for sure it's very enlightening for sure

Hey, that sounds really interesting. What exactly did you use for the compost base? And do you have any other insights you think a new living soil grower might find useful?

@@Frieml I used a horse and goat manure base from a friends farm and it had a lot of different stuff mixed in with it. Lime dust, alfalfa hay, straw, wood chips, and garden dirt. I put in a big pile right in the middle of my garden and turned it into the garden dirt and them up it in a 55 gallon drum and let it set from October until February. I then dumped it out and added Down to Earth's Humic acid, kelp meal, blood meal, worm castings, bat guano, Ashes from my wood stove, Epsom salt, bone meal and fish bone meal. I then added my peat and perilite, mixed it, sprayed it down with my molasses tea covered it with a tarp and sealed it the best i could and let it "cook off" for 5 days and stored it in totes for future use. This was my first experiment with a living super soil. All I will say is that every plant (house plants) spouted new growth within 10 days!! Now, the sole purpose of this soil was for an indoor tent grow. After the first set of seeds in this perpetual grow sprouted (direct soil germination) is doing better than anything I have ever grown with a store bought organic soil blend. I have been an indoor grower for about 3 years and I have a fairly indoor set up, until I started the 100% organics I was producing a mediocre flower. This soil has proven to me with that it will out perform anything the big names can produce! The brix nearly doubled, better terps, and overall just an outstanding medication! I'm growing tomatoes as well with this mix and they look amazing as well! Of course as you know with indoor growing there is maintenance to be done keeping the microbes happy and the plants healthy, I also added a bunch of worms to the 5 gallon fabric pots the plants grow in as an additional organism for soil and microbial health. Its a ton of work, but if one doesn't sow, one doesn't reap. I don't have the exact NPK of this soil due to the cost of testing equipment. I use a cheap analog meter that I do not think is as accurate as a digital soil tester would be for a general idea of where the soil is with nutrients. There is much much more I do for soil mixes and experiments that have just blown my mind with the results and will happily share some of the things I have done that just sounds completely unbelievable and even laughable! But it works! Its free! The Earth produces it! And Monsanto will hate me for it! And that's absolutely fine with me! I hope I have helped you in some way and wish you the best in your organic ventures! If something goes not so right, do it again until you find what works for your garden! Don't think man made poisons is the only resource you have to grow healthy medication, herb, fruits and veggies! The huge redwood forest and the forests in our national parks are beautiful! Why we ask? because Mother Earth feeds them, not the big fertilizer companies. Just a final word of inspiration and encouragement. You can reach out anytime to me if you think I could help broaden your growing knowledge, and I can learn from you as well! That is what our community should be! An open network of information we share among ourselves and with others to help our families live healthier lives and to teach others the ways of sustainability and to also give the government and the crop controllers that are poisoning our brains the bird!

Dardening it can be at times.

she is just amazing in general 💚

Or just leave it to the states and don’t get the federal government involved, because that brings a whole level of regulations, and taxes that are unnecessary imo

@@dalecoughlin3402 the Fed can arrest you and put you in prison for weed even if legal in your state . Cannabis needs to be treated like beer and wine and that can only happen with TOTAL LEGALIZATION AT EVERY LEVEL! The Senate bill CAOA is the only way to get total legalization . Read the bill online and call your senators to encourage them to sign on to Senate bill CAOA !

Decriminalize

@@korewanandeska Senate bill CAOA is better than decriminalize. It's LEGALIZED at the federal level !

Nope

I’m growing outside in pot soil what nutrients should I use?

& it's 4twenty right meow. cheers

U have a grow tent?

@@israelbrewton5742 nah, my closet, i have a playlist if you wannna peep it, go for it ;b

🤑🤑🤑🤑 15:51 You smoke what you put into your plant.

Have u tried food grade hydrogen peroxide or colloidal silver or ozonated water?

Where r u in Ohio?

Dr Bugbee says basically the same thing, there's no observable difference in taste when feeding right to the end. But there sure is an observable difference in yield and bud density due to metabolising one more week of nutrients - obviously! Which, in all honesty, sounds absolutely, completey logical. If you cannot taste it, the obvious thing to do is to keep feeding right until the end and reap the benefits of it. K is your friend, don't overdo N or P. Just take your time curing afterwards and you'll be more than fine. Story time, theory time, long read: My theory on the origin of the flushing myth for a while now is this: As the plant longs for macro nutrients during the flush, it moves them to where they are needed from the lower fan leaves, which slowly yellow and wilt. These nutrients aren't in the plant anymore when harvest comes. Even cut off the plant can still move nutrients around. These nutrients are chemically changed during the curing process until they only in exist in their metabolic products, which do not taste harsh anymore. BUT, the harshness that is referred to most often actually comes from the chlorophyll in the plant not having been broken down in its metabolic products, not by any nutrients left. I feel that people do not take enough time to dry and cure, so after say 7 days they cure for 2 more weeks and call it a day. If the plant has less chlorophyll left in it to begin with ( aka flushing leading to big fan leaves with all their chloro dying off ), this shorter timespan may still be enough to produce a somewhat pleasant product, while not flushed the product at this stage surely would feel harsh and not ready. So people assume that the nutrients are the thing that tastes harsh and bad and that flushing caused the plants to expell them, when in reality a bit more time and a proper curing process measured in months, not weeks, is all but enough to produce a top shelf product - not by clearing the plant of any nutrients within it before harvest, but by giving the chlorophyll, which is more ample when feeding right until the end, the proper amount of time to be broken down in curing. Too little time spent on curing makes it so you have a better chance of a tasty product with flushing, as you basically add that week to the curing and drying process, allowing chlorophyll to dissipate during the flush. But enough time spent on curing is the antidote to a perceived harshness of the product assumed to be because of the plant having nutrients left stored within it - which is chlorophyll not having been broken down yet in 99% of cases anyway. Basically, people flush and think it works because of a logical fallacy is what I'm wordily trying to get across. Still, people buy golden audio connectors for obscene amounts of money although every research ever done reveals that humans cannot perceive a difference in audio quality in a blind test. Some people cannot stop claiming that they do. Same thing here, some people will defend the flush to the death even if you show them research debunking the myth of harsh tasting nutrients being flushed away by it. So it's an uphill battle and not the hill to die on for the average grower. Just do what you want and let others do what they want - if it produces a good product, it works, whatever 'it' is. Simple as that.

This is true of every industry. We can't blame people for protecting trade secrets. What makes it ironic, is that cannabis culture was based on an underground network of shared.

@@blackpalacemusic in the very beginning the cannabis community had to work together to get things done ✅ then all the sudden greed came into community and like all other industries has completely destroyed the sustainability within our community and has given it to the government and big corporations

I agree. "At my age" are your three key words here. Another opening I like to use is "In my experience". I was born in 1951 so I am the last of my generation to grow up without the lacerating effect of television on my thinking. Television arrived in 1957 like a tsunami of propaganda.. What reading -- especially science -- does is develop clear arguments that build & pace towards clear logical conclusions. That's been trashed by the slogans & soundbytes & clickbait.

@@ronaldevans5217 you have a few years on me. Science and "bro language" have no business in the same community. It's so hard to understand the slang and punctuations the different cultures and age groups speak. I surely enjoy the soft spoken calm nature of this video. If only Bob Ross could have grown weed.

😫 pathetic

@@johnboykin3128 How so? They are. You must be one of the bros 😂 Dr Sue Sisley, Dr Alison Justice, Prof Nirit Bernstein, Mila Jansen Just a few names of women kicking arse.

Listen to everyone who makes sense women or man if art looks good does it matter who created it

​@calwyndell you're right ✅️

Who do you think they learned from 😂

That's more than possible and yes it's because you started under 24hr lights, your plant will go back to vege until the day shortens, just be careful of mould though, that extra plant matter hides a lot of extra moisture, in future if you start from seed try 13hrs under light, then put your plants out in the middle of spring if you want to grow outside, if you don't want to start that early you can do the same thing and put the plants out at the beggining of summer

@Skrittles-fs2wh thank you very much friend

beauty, brains and kind - she’s a 10/10!!
