I’m a grower with 30 years experience, and amazingly I’ve been able to root a bud at the 9th week of flower. Grew a beautiful plant out of a bud cluster. My point is experimenting can keep it interesting and teach you much.
I'm rewatching all the episodes starting in Season 1. I'm half way through season 2 now on this re-watch. You always say, "IF we were going to maximize yield we'd do this..." But, so far, you always go for quality and do things to maximize quality instead. Which is awesome and I love that. But I think it would be fun to see you maximize yield in one of the quadrants next season. Show what living soil can really do for those who want large yields. Plus it would just be fun to learn the Build-a-Soil way for maximizing yields.
@@demsandlibsareswinecancer4667 Yep. I'm currently re-watching all three seasons and I didn't miss the reasons he gives for that... And his reasoning is that he doesn't want to get behind in the garden due to his busy schedule. Completely understandable. But we're now going into season 4 and cannabis channels are NOTORIOUS for running out of content ideas, haha. So I thought I'd offer some suggestions. Me personally... I'll probably never really go for heavy yields. I can't smoke everything I grow as it is, haha. But I do think it would be interesting and fun to see and learn.
5 times a day drip irrigation with a venturi injecting tea mix and he would need to visit his plants oncein awhile. You can make growing as lazy as you want, and still come up with quality. People fuss too much over their plants. Here's a case in point, people being against aggrevated trimming, do they forget flowers are calyxes through and through, so what's the problem with knocking trichomes off on the surface area? Do you cry about loss when you peel an orange or a potato? If you grow enough, you can get over the loss of small amounts, especially when you are the processor and have access to the trim to make other products. With experience, he is able to make it easier and easier, while keeping quality the same.
Idk about anyone else but last season Halitosis was massive from my perspective (via RU-vid lol). This season the Beefcake D were pretty damn fat. You have to take genetics into account when considering yield . I know it’s one data point but I’m pulling the most I’ve ever pulled, never mind the quality (next level), since switching to BAS & Earthboxes
Yep. 2 days of light would make more sense if you are looking to ripen or build trichomes at the end. Not long enough to promote sex issues and may have some benefit. Dr. Bruce has some videos addressing it.
This question is for Jeremy hopefully u can put this in the next FAQ . Jeremy what is ur thought on CBD plants , high CBD plants and 2to1 ratio plants and the diff ratios that accure in cannabis as well as the other cannabinoids like CBG THCv ? Great season can't wait for season 4 ! I'm just starting my room back up planting all my clones I've taken from my outdoor this yr so this next round is gonna be interesting to see the diff between indoor and outdoor from the same plant !!! Thanks for everything u do !!!
If you're in Canada 34 street seed company does a mango 1:1. Mango haze cbd x mango saphire. Amazing plant. Heavy stretch, big golf ball like buds dense as rocks. Easily a 14% thc 14% cbd cultivar. F5's.
Id like to see another throwback strain run like what you did with the Northern Lights, for example Super Silver Haze, Agent Orange, Durban Poison etc...
Aloha & Try NL #2 the one we smoked in the 1980s as we sold sold NL #5 to the few on our list. Matt Riot at Riot Seed and Todd McCormick at AG seed are working to make it better in 2022. Soon the NL Purest Indica ( Murphy Genetics) should be ready too. AG Seed has The Original Haze and Mel Frank's Durban Poison too.
same here buddy, northern lights, Durban P, White widow, Haze.. But unless u were at cannabis cup #1-5, Those strains are mixed. The most natural way to find original strains. would take a lot of help, but 1 original strain is doable. Find a place where herb grows naturally and has for a long time. BTW, I ordered seeds from dutchland spent 100$ and they were all bunk, didnt even germinate.. That was 10 years ago.
I would love to see more regarding KNF/Jadam growing techniques. I guess realistically KNF would make more sense since you're doing indoor. I've been playing around with JLF's and different jadam techniques on my outdoor plants.
suggestion for series 4: run a side by side with clones with and without a uvb bar to see how uvb may affect terpene production in particular, also for cannabinoids. Get flower tested to compare results great content as always on your top channel - much appreciated thanks
First of all, this channel is absolutely amazing. Thank you for all your wisdom, after growing my own for a few years, I've recently gone back to college after a 20-year hiatus/heroin run. I have 6 years clean and attribute it to the meditative pursuit of gardening, music, and especially my family. Thank you for taking the time to share your wealth of knowledge about this amazing plant. I have a few questions pertaining to my next round. I have a 4x4 tent with an HLG scorpion rspec light. Using a niwa to control the environment I'm looking to use 30-gallon containers for the foreseeable future. My question is do you think I could fit 2 or 3 comfortably inside the tent. I have a small humidifier (which I may not need with the increased volume of soil and grassroots smart pots with the liner jawns, I used 15-gallon fabric posts that lost too much through the sides no matter how much mulch) an oscillating fan that could be mounted, and the exhaust fan above. The more I think about it, I can probably only fit 2, how many small clones to you think I could fit in on 30 gal? 2? 3? 4? Just try and find out? I bet your answer is it depends. Anyway, I am a huge fan of this content, and I am constantly re watching. Btw I picked up BRR from AWKID, rootwise products, some build a flower/bloom, and all I need now is some q! Thanks for everything!!
I run 4 30s in a 5x5 and there is only a few inches between the pots, they might start to touch if you did that size in a 4x4. If you don't want to move up to a larger tent I would find something in the 20-25 gal range so you could fit 4 depending on how many plants you want to run. You could easily grow more than 1 plant in 15s or larger, just depends on how big you want them to get etc. I keep 4 moms of my previous run in a 15 gal no problem for reference.
Your plant count depends on how long you want to veg before flowering. You want around half your canopy space full when you flip to flower to fill your tent in the end. So you can veg one plant for a longer time, or several for a shorter time, and either way end up with about the same yield. I hope that makes sense. And congratulations on getting off the H! I quit in the end of 08. It was a struggle but I don't have any desire to go back to that life. I left the country for 9 years and lived in Central America. I miss it and didn't want to leave. But family needed me. Anyway it's great that you were able to get away too!! I love hearing that because almost everyone I knew in that life is dead and the rest lost their freedom. Only a few survived. So it's great you're with us.
First of all, congratulations on your recovery! God Bless You and much Love ! As for how many you can fit in a 30G..I'd say you'll be just fine with 2 plants in a 30 no problem. A 30G in 4x4 can easily be done with enough room to throw in a humidifier or De-Hu'. You'll fill that up real nice! I'd say just make sure you have enough lighting. If you can get a light that is meant to cover a 5x5 space you'll crush it. Even if you add in a second HLG Scorpion Rspec you'll be good to go.
I’d love to see you train some plants out; LST, HST, the works. Seems like most (if not all) of the plants have been left to their own devices, but since so many home growers benefit from training, esp. with smaller tents and all, seeing some plants get trained extensively would be super helpful.
Love the show, thank you for the wisdom sharing. I think season 4 should be 1 quadrant indica, 1 quadrant sativa to show the timing difference in flower. Then 3rd quadrant beefcake D moms. Then 4th quadrant all auto's. Then 4x4 male plants show how you collect pollen.
I'd really love to see you move forward with more breeding content/projects. Thank you for all you share, for being transparent and for underlining the importance of always being open to learning!
Definitely want to see pollen chucking & pheno hunting. More autos would be sick too, there’s so many good auto breeders out there. Beef cake D hash with Pedro would be sick as well if possible
hey i'm new her but old at growing, I beg to defer from your response to the question about leaving your lights off before the big chop ie harvest the main reason to do this is to increase the levels of terp profile as any experienced grower have noticed the extra strong aromas the ladies give off that seem to come around the darker periods, maybe there are benefits if not a little and any advancement the plant can get during its last couple days in its medium will definitely show up come time to consume the final product but then again you can be right and its all in our head lol cheers.
I don't really comment on YT vids but just wanted to say that it is quite refreshing to see your content...done by an intelligent and presentable person with accurate information.
Absolutely great season Jeremy....Loved that you put yourself out there on the autos..... Would like to see another auto run....You should pop some of the oddest seeds in your collection see what happens.... Thanks for all you and the BAS fam do.
Hey Jeremy, great job with the free educational content! Times are financially tough right now for a lot of us due to the jump in cost of living. I know I am having to do a seed run just because I can’t afford the insane cost of quality beans. So any giveaway’s would be greatly appreciated.
@@Buzzyfuzz Hey there, I saw your reply and was wondering since my beans are almost done would you be interested in trying a pack to test them out for free and maybe just let me know what you think in return ? thought you might be interested but totally understand if ur not, no worries either way! Peace brotha
Season 4 'sidecar' idea to whatever you growing. Nix the cover crop, Grow food! What kind of edibles can we grow with our plants either in the same pot, or companion plants that can grow in the same environment and do well (and provide no issues for the main plants). Looking at things like timeframe compared to the harvest window for Cannabis (might not matter for large beds) and also discussing things that should not be grown in the same tent for one reason or another. Mini carrots or other quick-finish root veggie's? Lettuce or cabbage? FWIW I am trying some tiny bok choy from Baker Creek seeds and it seems fine, just a wuestion of finishing at the same time or sooner than the plant
I am growing lettuce as a cover crop in my homemade 5 gallon bucket SIP. It is working great to slow evaporation and I get some salad leaves every few days 😋
Next project (S.4) should be the keepers from S.3 run and then a few of them pollinated with some of your keeper males. Seed making seems like the natural progression here. Then S.5 could be the pheno hunt!
So on the ripening question. I've experimented very heavily with this mystery. Even with the help of some neato miniature mass specs. I must ask this question to clarify before I answer yours ---- Does fruit ripen off the vine? What byproducts, chemical pathways happen when you lets say, pick and unripe tomato/banana/etc. We know CO2 is produced; this is why we insure airflow and burp our jars. The plant itself is also not dead when you chop it down, if so; the very act of cloning would be impossible. in the right chamber (drying/curing --- mine are the same*) @
I believe it has something to do with oxygen yes, but looking deeper into the cause of ripening off the vine, potentially the microbiology that lives endophytically inside the trichromes of all plants. This microbiology’s known to communicate to plants and each other via terpenes and potentially through other secondary metabolites as well, so who’s to say they aren’t just chatting up a terpstorm inside of those juicy unbroken trichrome heads. Frenchy documented to changing of terpenes and cannabiniods in the same hash over years of aging and saw a lot of change in the chemical composition as the hash aged. In his experiments he would mildly decarboxylate the hash by pressing and working it with boiling water in a bottle and then store it airtight in a temple ball in optimal conditions.
Great stuff! I would like to see a soil wars season…maybe a BAS mix vs coots vs a recycled re-amended soil & a water only soil vs one you feed with extras & teas & top dress but you run all same genetics or cultivars or clones in each soil…my faq is what’s the best way to store soil after you mix it up for long term storage or after re-amending ✌️
Hey Jeremy! Thanks again for all of the amazing knowledge and it’s been really awesome watching things progress over the past 3 seasons. I think for Season 4 it’d be really cool if you did some pollen chucking and see what kind of sorcery you can conjure up! You definitely have a really awesome silo of top notch genetics and it’s be awesome to see what you could do with that! Also showing how to harvest pollen from males would be super rad. Other than those two ideas, anything you have planned I’m sure will be both entertaining and educational and I’m sure will be a treat to watch.
Hey Jeremy, huge fan and quickly becoming my number one resource for all things garden. My first grow in years in NY i have(with my wife lol) 4 purple punch auto and one ak47 auto. They are ready in days to chop and gorgeous thanks to you and your skills in breaking down everything. I would love you to run some sick auto genes under your optimal conditions. I have the white widow and 3 Bruce banner staggered to follow up all auto. I wanna get the conditions right for breeding eventually but for now I just want the best out of autos balanced between yield and quality.
Would really like to see another run of auto flower in the 4x4 tent with a discussion about tent set up for environmental controls. Really curious now about auto flowers on 18 hr light cycle. Season 3 was great and can’t wait for season 4
Would love to see you run some 15gallon living soil grass roots pots in one of the quadrants next season! Love what you guys do keep awesome content flowing. Thanks!
Jeremy, I would love to see the uv bar as well , also since beefcake did so well go all the way with it, full monster tent. All out perfection, co2 , perfect humidity, air , love………. Would be epic when you opened that tent with wall to wall beefcake scrog
The trichchome coverage of CopyCats Gentetics Power S1!!!!! Watched Home Grow TV’s grow on this seed, it was insane!! I think you could crush this the BAS way. Would also love to see a seed making episode or side quest with the BeefcakeD/Pakalolo1. Options are limitless and we know whatever you do it’s going to be a banger 🤘🏼
Congrats on another season..hope you ace the smoke report..💪🏾👌🏾 S4 : I'd like to see 1 quadrant or Ebox 16 clones.. how to get a easy pound.. And more sprouted seed tea videos + tips and tricks(garden nuances) 💯
Just discovered the Chanel around the middle of this season but I love the information and you give your honest opinion. I’ll be waiting for the next one
This community is amazing, always striving to help others learn this wonderful plant. Thank you for helping me understanding how to become a great grower.
That’s a giveaway I can get behind! I’m dying to run some strawberry milk and quookies!!! Been on the lookout for it! But I have a gallon size bag full of Covert Genetics, figure that’ll take me awhile to run through! I have a pack of halitosis beans I’m pretty excited about! I’m running his Outlaw Chem and Nitromethane right now. Completely impressed! There’s a green fog of fuel coming from my grow space
great videos! I have 2 Gorilla Glue #4 plants in week 4 of flower right now (outside semi-buried buckets). The question and answers here are very helpful since this is my first grow. I have learned so much this year. Thanks man!
Excellent FAQ! Love this channel. The best information and reasons behind the info ! Smoke reports going to be all 🔥. I’d love to see a quadrant with 15 gals that would be used again in season5. Another auto run in the 4x4 could be fun too given weather will be more compliant. The veggies will be very cool to see too. How some angles may change for food vs herb. An episode with Aj or awkid on their products/genetics could be rad or a good one between seasons. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Have an old coworker that left our cultivation facility in Denver for a job at a Research facility in Portland. He sends pictures of their work with new genetics and it’s crazy. Everything gets cloned after flower and re-vegged. Also nothing gets consumed 😫
I've seen that flat stalk thing in a three strains with a lot of Thai genetics, sometimes it will split into two active meristem. Super weird. in one case the plant didn't favor one branch over the other, and in one case after a few nodes one branch became dominant.
Thanks for another great season! Have a safe trip! I would like to see some landrace genetics, obviously not easy to find, or some pure sativa's. Maybe one plant/trellis/quadrant. And maybe I'm stoned lol. Keep up the great work!!
2 day darkness before harvesting makes absolute sense, because the plants have carbohydrate reserves for ~24-48 h. Leaving the lights off for 48h makes the plant use those reserves and that's what the drying and curing process in general is about.
Thx for inspiring many new habits for my gardening. I now cover crop & amend soil. Understanding Polymerase activity post harvest was a game changer for me. The thc does break down BUT it synthesizes itself back together, stronger with the electrons being released by the evaporating inner clean water (which is why flushing is important)…That process will yield you something More that wasn’t there at harvest. This is the plant’s way of survival…it knows it’s been chopped and it’s job is to preserve its flower and to protect that flower so its thc production after harvest goes to another level. So if the human can control this slow process by controlling the atmosphere, and slow drying, the quality of the weed will increase. The terpenes degrade and we know so far only that we can slow that degradation. I wish for more info on terps if u got it. I am so grateful to ur channel.
Yes it does I've had some bud curing for a year and a half. The smell, RH, and taste was still perfect. All the trichomes were Amber was just definitely straight sedative. That was stored, and sealed in mason jars, in my flower tote.
Good faq!!! Season 4 ideas How about a half dozen breeders of same strain? Would love to see a classic hi-stretch Thai sativa. I love landrace strains. Regular seeds and sexing (not via lab)
From the research I’ve been doing, 48-72 hours of darkness has a couple main benefits: 1. The plant sends nutrients and sugars to the roots during the dark period, which means less nutrients and sugars in your buds which supposedly results in a less harsh smoke, and 2. Trichomes degrade and terpenes evaporate during the light cycle, and are replenished during the night cycle. So supposedly, you should have better trichome and terpene production when you go for the actual chop. And as a smaller bonus, that should help with a slightly colder and less humid atmosphere which is also helps with trichomes and terpenes. I haven’t actually tried it myself, but as I’m getting down to the wire with my fifth grow right now, I was curious about he answer to that question and have done a bit more research on it in the past couple day. I will be trying. 72 hour dark period before my chop, probably starting tonight at lights out
I love to see you do another auto flower run in season four maybe in the 4 x 4 tent as that is what a lot of home growers grow in. I Love your content and feel like I’ve learned a lot however I always feel like I have to translate it into auto flower.
Loving your channel fellas ! I have got a Random question for anyone. I’m growing using great pre mix soil and fertilising with chickenpoo, bat poo, blood and bone , and see weed extract. The plants grow lovely but when I flower them some get a nasty cat piss smell and when smoked gives a nasty buzz. No burnt tips or any sighs the plants are unhappy and good quality seeds ? What’s going on ?
hi i am also new to growing from South Africa, and all the videos on RU-vid are indoors, so why not make episodes of a grow outside between a auto flower and a photoperiod. i am also going to plant outside and would like to learn from the pros on what to do and what not to do. just an idea :)
always nice to see new cultivars run. a lot of good suggestions. side by side etc. we all learn a great deal by the things your are doing. i never miss a video. keep up the great work!
From my experience, I would cut the whole plant at once, and hang it in the dark. It seemed as the trichomes ripened for a few more days, especially with a slower dry, or at least not a fast dry. I'd cut em down when mostly cloudy, hopefully, and I see some amber trichomes. Even though they're may be a good number of clear trichomes, I've noticed the clear ones turning cloudy after hanging a few days. Not many more amber trichomes though, but definitely from clear to cloudy, which wouldn't be from degradation..? This seems to only happen for a few days, while the plants still have a good amount of water in them. Next chance I get to cut a plant down, I'll pay more attention, and try to learn some more about this. Thanks for all the incredible information you guys have always put out. I started with your website several years ago, and was floored by all the great products and information provided. You really knock it out of the park with your videos and great channel. Much, much info most stoner channel growers are still clueless about. And you usually have the best products in stock. Great stuff goes fast, but you're always great at restocking, from my experiences. Build A Soil has been a big game changer in the industry, and with everyone's passion towards better inputs and different styles of growing (A big part of the 'No Till' growing industry, which has surprised so many with incredible results, using less inputs, and getting better product), rather than just selling bottled liquid mineral salts, over and over and over.. You guys have come far, and your always improving results for the growers, as well as the earth. Excellent work. Don't ever stop!👍💯✌️
I think the 48 hour method is so all the sugars will be in the soil not the plant. We don’t want sugar in the plant at the chop. So supposedly all the sugars are in the root zone when the lights are off. Then when the lights turn on that it’s time for the sugars to come back up to the plant, hence the symbiotic relationship earth to plant. The little buggies love the sugar. The plant loves the poop that the buggies leave behind after eating the sugar and other amendments.
It would be cool to see a high CBD very low thc strain to see how they grow and ripen differently too. I mean there is a lot of advice on trichomes for thc but not really peak time to harvest for cbd. I really wonder if growing conditions would change shooting for higher cbd levels
Hey there Buildasoil family, hope all is well. For an idea in the 4th round I would love to see you do the multiple plants with a short veg time . Maybe in an earthbox just to keep the plant count down. Thank's for all the video's
Can you do another video going through your seed collection to pick? My vote is for 2 from seed and 2 from clones for the 4 Quadrants and 2 Autoflowers in the 4x4 again. Redemption lol. I feel like the Autos need their own 10x10 series.
Jared... i cant thank you enough for doing this vlog series brother i had started growing when they went rec legal here in VA that was around the time you began the10x10 series ... i am now 3 harvests in and my friends and family swear im some ancient druid master now ... and its all because of build a soil and the 10x10 series ...god bless you bro ... keep at it
Well next season better have the pollen chucking we where promised! It’s the least covered subject in cannabis I’ve found. Plus it would be cool to have your guide for my first run through on chucking some pollen and doing a little breeding. So do one quadrant/tent for the seed making. Then do a quadrant that’s straight up for showing off the living soil yield capability with a genetic of your choice, and also do a single branch pollen chuck in that quadrant to show you can work breeding/chucking in even when maxing output. Either way I’ll keep watching!
I take cuts when I'm harvesting them and choose my keepers from there and let them reveg takes a Lil longer than a regular cut from a veg plant but it's nice because you know what you got
Good video! All I hope for in the next season is more detail on re-amending. It seems like there’s 1000 things you could use but I want to know the best 😂
Do a giant open pollination and do a hell of a seed give away at the end of the season, would probably be a pain to deal with all the shipping tho, also would love to see more of coots plants
I agree. The whole 48hr dark before harvest is useless. However, I think it is good practice to havest during dark time at least a few hours in as a lot of the sugars & nutes are diverted down to the roots during dark time so my theory is you get a cleaner end product. I could be wrong, but it's just a habit for me now.
Trichomes do in fact keep developing after the plant has been cut down, they will continue to develop as long as the flower is still moist, have done a lot of research on this, in the first 12 hours you will see a lot of development within the trichomes, after that it slows down but continues until the flower is dry, if u keep the fan leaves on and if u don’t wet trim them the trichomes will develop a lot better as the flower still has a source of consumable nutrients
What's up Jeremy! Excellent content as always man. Sad to see Season 3 wrap up but man am I excited to see what you do next! I'm finishing a round up myself and it's looking like the best one yet for me and I contribute most of it from your awesome BAS products and the knowledge I have gained by watching your videos. May your harvests be forever bountiful! You guys rock!🤙🤙
Jeremy would it be possible to show how to re-amend used soil without a soil test following the BAS practices. Thank you for all the valuable information you freely pass on and for grinding out these videos. Very valuable information not only for cannabis cultivation but also for the home gardener. Cheers!!
Subscribed! We are supposed to get a frost tonight. This is my first year and I am growing outside. Complete newbie and more a gardener than a grower, that's for sure. I've learned a lot from RU-vid. We are supposed to get a frost tonight. Should I cut tonight? I'm torn. I know my dahlias are toast after a frost.
You should take the 4x4 tent and cross the male you have with the Beefcake D and harvest a shitload of seeds and do a seed giveaway that way as well. The autoflower xtras would be a nice giveaway too. Thanks for everything you put out for us, you da man!!!
i think the question would have been answered more wholly if answered whether or not you think that the clear trichomes may continue to ripen and maybe cloud up after cutting. That would be great to know for sure...
throw back strains run old school .. what ever it is want to see more on roots would like to see a earth box washed out right after a harvest to see what kind of root mass it takes to get a good yeild .. showing the feeder roots that grew in the earth box in the 4x4 was so exciting taught me a lot and want to learn more about roots you always say the bigger the roots the bigger the fruits lets see them roots ..thank you for all you do and the way you do it.. you make the best videos very professional.
9:10 I actually changed 1 thing that completely turned my bud from shit to amazing and I'm hurt it isn't stressed to new growers as much as it should be. I went from drying in a 70-80 degree room to a 60-70 degree room and that alone (no change in humidity) completely changed how my buds come out. The temperature of the dry room matters way more than the humidity in terms of actually drying out the plant, and the drying process itself is the most important part in growing whatsoever. So there is actually 1 change someone could make that will completely alter their final product
Would love to see a grow with a larger SIP container. We know more soil is better, and earthbox is only 15 gal. Be great to see what you/we can do with a 30 gal SIP! We appreciate y'all!
Please do more auto flower runs next season. The 18 vs 12 hours is one key factor but what are the others? Their simple schedules and limited heights make them ideal for intro growers but there is so much else unknown…like DLI intensity, soil and supplement options, indoors vs outdoors, etc.
Green light is the least effective for plants because they are themselves green due to the pigment Chlorophyll. Different color light helps plants achieve different goals as well. Blue light, for example, helps encourage vegetative leaf growth. Red light, when combined with blue, allows plants to flower. In my opinion green light does affect it in a certain way they say green light is like moonlight it mimics moonlight but I'm with you I do not go in there with green lights unless I have to all my lights outside are green to reflect any light coming in even though there is no light leaks I would prefer not to use green lights inside and go into your garden during lights on thanks for the video I learned a lot
Do a long run. Mimic an outdoor California season. Super long veg cycle. One plant per quadrant. Go as big as you can in a tent. My last outdoor “starts” went in soil on June first at 3ft tall. Ended at about 6-7ft tall. They were in about 175gallons of soil.
