Cannabis Garden Confessions: Avoid These Indoor Grow Room Mistakes 

Today is a special Day for me. My Dad started growing in 1964 until 2002 when he got busted. He passed on this day in 2019 RIP!!! He taught me a bunch.

I have a hydro setup. In 2022 I had a diverticulitis. I was in the hospital for a week in February 22, another week in July 22 and the surgery in April 2023 that fixed everything. My Mom who is 92 years old kept my garden in top condition. Thanks Mom she and my Aunt also spent 6 hours in the hospital waiting during my surgery. Cheers to family

You only fail when you stop trying

Biggest game changers for me were: 1. Self watering system (Earth box and AC Infinity XL Base) 2. DEHUMIDIFIER**** (This one was huge. I have old school steam heaters and man do they keep things around 70% humidity.) 3. Calcium!!! (I was having acidity issues and the same deficiency that would come up 3 weeks into bloom and destroy my yields. Turns out i didn't have enough calcium.) Ever since correcting these 3 variables, my grows have been 🔥

Love chilling with yall on my drive in the morning. Thanks guys for being there for us newer growers.

The word Scotty is looking for at 10:25 is Relay. A relay is an electro-mechanical device used to switch high voltage/high amperage devices safely, typically using a electromagnet and steel core to operate what is effectively a heavy duty switch. Why on Earth the industry hasn't provided a decent selection of plug in economy remote controlled 110/220V relays is baffling.

Nice hoodie Dude!!!!!

Good evening dgc and everyone else in the world Had a few fails things can only get better especially with the DGC and community ✌️🙏🇬🇧

I don’t know if somebody else asked for that calendar with the deficiencies each month but I know I sure did. I brought it up a couple times because I cannot find a poster like they have at the grocery store of all the deficiencies and the leaves. I think it would be great art to have up for obvious reasons. You can just sit and look at it while you’re getting high.

I lost an entire 8 light crop during week 3 of flower to root rot . I had no idea about water temps and I wasn’t letting the media dry back enough . This was back in the early 2000s . it was the only time that happened but I’ll never forget it

I seldom have fungus gnats I keep excess moisture to minimum both on the surface of the media and not letting trays water sit in trays. I also keep small fans running low at pot height to keep air moving above the media. Gnats can’t proliferate if they can’t fly from the fan wind.

Look for an HT stamped on pallet wood to know it is heat treated and safe. Most shipping wood has been treated in this manner.

I left my plants for a month (give or take) at the beginning of the summer this year. I just kept the watering schedule in my head the best I could. I got my dad to check in and water the girls ever couple/few days. Made sure to top dress before I left so nobody went hungry. I was a bit worried tbh. But it turned out just fine! The little bit of general gardening experience he has, and the few tips I gave him did the trick. (For context and the curious, I work in music production. Was touring playing bass, and setting up the gear on stage)

Great show guys !

Hey dudes when you go bush or into the forest grab a bucket of that dark brown Soil and some of the leaf matter, you can have microbes forever and it's especially good because it's from your local area, put it a handful in a bucket of good water and air rate the water, a cup of that microbe water in with the general watering schedule, guaranteed healthy Grow medium.

Great episode man! Really enjoying these videos!

I really like those smart outlet things. I was slow to get onto that technology. But now I find it super convenient. I use it mostly for emergency auxiliary types of equipment that is usually not too big of a deal in amps. But if I need to change something minimally, I can simply turn something on and off usually

Hello from Ontario 🇨🇦

Can’t wait for the show

We had fun training with the moisture meter. But we use that for him to get a real sense of things by site and wait.

See I've I get notified of RU-vid this time lol

I came home from a trip. Had a young lady watch them for me. Got back water was dripping from everything in the tent. She was so sweet I couldn’t be mad. She said I was worried about them so I went n gave them extra

great job boys🤘✌️

Fruit orchards graft all the time, when trees get old they put young cuts on old root stock and get mature fruit trees much faster than from seed.

I just do home grows but really getting great results for the lights i have the ts 1000 mars hydros thinking the 3000 be better dont know am pretty happy w what i get as i smoke alot

In South East Michigan, we are on glacier till-rocks and clay!

Awesome, peace.

Minnesota mike, loving the channel boys

Thank you...🎉😮🎉😮🎉😮😊

Shipping palates will have a code on them. it let you know if they've been treated. Kilm dried, or if treated what chemicals are on, it should be burned/ painted onto the wood somewhere,it also lets tou know country of origin If you google shipping pallet codes youll get a whole list

I write all the due or die parameters on the door itself. The things that never change like temperature and where electrical breakers and stuff are. Water temps. I leave a sign on each event with the numbers of how many fans he needs to make sure are moving each time. An actual number and he counts as he walks about the area. I also spray paint in orange on the walls where intake fans and electrical. Heaters and hazards could be located

Scotty thank you so damn much for what you said about the calcium-magnesium-potassium. Im having absolute hell in mid/early bloom with a monster of a K deficiency. Makes sense. pH is good, EC is good, its gotta be a balance issue. Im gonna 33:56 grab the shop vac and run about 30 gallons R/O water through my 10gal pot and mix a fresh batch of nutes to hopefully get back on track. Never in my life had a nute problem. Went from COCO to soil one time and now im having problem. dammit!

You kno if they would let Doctors smoke I bet the percentage of doctors that partake in other drugs cocaine mostly they would rather smoke then maybe do the harder drugs idk bout you but I rather have my doctor smoke weed then be railing lines in wkends because it dosent stay in your system very long.DGC for president 😂 love you guys and the show

I brush my teeth in the shower too 😂😂😂😂

Saludos desde Mexico friends 🇲🇽🌱🧬✌️

an oscillating 4 inch fan or two depending on the size of your grow space/tent will eliminate gnats 100%. gnats or bugs in general don't like air movement, by placing the fans to move air across the surface of your media the fans will keep the top layer of your media dry and prevents from giving gnats a place to lay their eggs. Never need to spray, dunk, drench or fly traps, ever. And if you have house plants you can cover the top of the soil with an inch thick layer of tiny pea pebbles to prevent gnats as well. 👍🙋‍♂️

Afternoon from NW Montana

I hit the like ❤

I always love the show. Let Scotty know to prop the camera higher than his face. Camera trick to look better. Just an FYI.

I normally use neem coupled with bottom watering and dryback. Sometimes a dusting of diatamaceous earth ounce the top of the soil is dry. And the tried and true sticky traps. Gnats are annoying af.

for piece of mind i have multiple night vison motion senser camaras in my tent room :)

I use the mosquito bits/dunks. That BTI WORKS!! Nothing has worked a well as the mosquito bits for getting rid of gnats. And since I grow in living soil, dry backs aren't recommended.

The Bluetooth plugs I use are from Lowes, Enbrighton is the brand. Super easy to use app and can do on/off and set up schedules by day or everyday. They can handle up to 600w

For me, I get my parents to come by every few days it works out but always overwatering and I have so many plants in my house. Meaning, other than cannabis and my dad will water fake plants thinking they’re real and I have some plants that look fake that he didn’t water like my lithops. lol which is good because those ones only get water maybe every 4 to 5 months. 💚

if you want to take care of fungus gnats use neem/karanja cake & mustard seed meal. you will not have any problems with them anymore, also use a mulch, rice hulls work great. Even if they show up they will Knot have an environment they like.

You can get mosquito bits, they are made by the same company as mosquito dunks, they come in a shaker so you can spread them around.

Had Covid real bad in 2020 and lost a whole 100sqft room with 20 plants in dwc. It’s a good thing they had that eviction and utility shutoff moratorium because I had to catchup with the bills.

29:15 I like to use rocks to create a mulch layer to fight knats 😊

Neem seed meal mixed into your soil works great for fungus gnats and other soil borne critters.

Definitely gotta have the emergency shut offs all updated/checked before you leave.

I’ve yet to find a friend or roommate I thought reliable enough to watch my grow. If I were more automated maybe but I’d still be worried af.

I pay the person to water. And I also pay train them. For the first time I have someone I feel like in reasonably count on for the most part. But I had to have him over a couple times to train. And I paid him For the time. Even making him watch a small RU-vid video about the way. Water works in soil. No one is perfect but I haven’t had any problems yet. And it’s been the only thing to release me to go to the DGC events.

Cal mag before you use the dirt drench soil w it w get rid of nats before they start

Graham bro and guru are two extremely different people with different positions. There really cannot be any comparison. It’s simply not apples to apples. I like Grambo‘s computer work and his sense of humor. I like how guru explains things in a clear way that I can understand easily. I’m not calling Grambo for the same thing I would be calling guru for. So never fear Grambo.

mosquito bits for the fungus gnats .......i top dress the soil a handleful.. nomo gnats!!!!

Lol when your dialing in a new style using the same clone but every bucket has a different blend of nutrients its has the look of and epic fail lol but then you got the goldilocks just chilling Now if i can find the notes for the next run ill be in luck lol

Theoretically, you can graft weed onto hops

Where ar3 all the likes folks come on

i use diatamcaceus earth powder for my gnats. they cang hatch and come up from soil. just do a good watering bf u put it on. then take ones flying around. wont be able get back in soil. whats a invite code to join?

What do you think about foggers with Doctor Doom for insects and p.m.?

Oh, thank God I need to put rubbing alcohol on my list

💚

Weed in A-HOLE could be my online name lol. Yes Scotty I did get notified I won something ,couldn't find it later was looking my mind looking,ha ha , thankyou for letting us know of scam announcements

Ya I got told I won something got all pumped lol😂😢

What’s the difference between black n grey ash or soft n hard on a joint

Scotty? Why is there an upside down pineapple on the table behind you? You know what upside down pineapples means, right?!?!? 😂😮

3 days

Marsha, Marsha Marsha!

I just used latex interior house paint mixed 50/50 with water to whitewash over some mystery brown mold on my stems that nobodys ever heard of that came from other mistakes. We'll see....

Ice wash

Bro science..?! I used to have trouble with Fungus Gnats, pretty often. No plant problems noticed, but Gnats always flying around the soil. I started using a Soy Hydrolysis, Amino Acid powder, usually with an NPK of 0-0-14. I was supplementing 1tsp/gallon with each feeding/watering. Within a few weeks, maybe, I didn't notice any Gnats around the soil, and haven't seen any since 5-6 years ago. I have continued to use this product 80% of the time. Recharge has these same Amino Acids, which is great. They're extremely useful for many reasons, from Chelating nutrients, to creating better buds. Maybe even get rid of Fungus Gnats, if used each day, but I still see my experience as "Bro Science"..?! One other person mentioned this "getting rid of Gnats" in the reviews. Maybe we'll get some real science on this someday..?!🤔👍💯🙏✌️

Hey guys. I used Recharge to help address a few issues this past summer. I LOVED it! I am going to try out Grow Dots with my first ever try at autos this coming summer. I want to possibly try them on a photo or two as well. Would I use the extended version then for the photos?

I work with ultra-sonic cleaners often - get a NON-FLAMABLE cleaning solution! Iso Alcohol is known to explode and catch fire in ultra-sonic cleaning machines! Filling the machine with distilled water and putting a ziplock bag filled with your piece and iso alcohol inside is a LITTLE bit safer....but, it would still be best not to use it at all.

Would really love to grow outdoors just no place to do so yet

Get your self nematodes for the gnats work wayyyyy better then the bits

I tried coaching my bf how to water my plants while i was on a cruise. I told him make sure the tent is zipped shut good because no light can get in the tent at night. What did he do? He turned off my lights. They were off for 3 days lol fail

Coincidence? Leaving for 3 days for a medical thing, got a plantsitter stopping by on day 2, pray for me!

Me 2

Dudes nip slips are the main reason I watch. That and the "Scotty Fake" comment replies. LOL

Chances are though,if you trust someone with your grow and you sweat them everyday about it then you make them feel like you don't trust.

Should be like 7 pm to 7 am or 8 to 8 for cheaper electric.

16:55 I’ve seen a room of 250 plants in week 7 flower that looked like this, simultaneously nasty and sad to see

❤️🇬🇧👊

Sup with that upside down pineapple?

I have accidentally left my smart outlet for my fertigation to turn it on and off. i went back to the app to see that the swith was still on and i knew then that i flooded my grow room. Have a timer and make sure you turn off the outlet and the. Close the app

Get Scotty, what are you puffing on there?

My fish tanks have always run eternal day because my lighting is so poor.

🌱🌱🌱🔥🔥🔥💨💨💨

My buddy burned up his house and got busted because of a arcing receptacle..if it don’t fit nice and tight figure out wassup and fix it…he’s a older guy, it really fucked up his life..

Remember one of the number 1 mistakes people make is telling people you grow. Never know who's listening. Call me paranoid but only few people should know haha

I use a plane notebook and just write what i did that day

6-1 in cannibis as far as I know, as a general rule

Hey dgc I think I got mentioned In The previous episode and won a pack of tiki madman genetics this is Brent b and I made a donation if it was how would I claim such a prize? Thanks guys hope j mystro is doin better!!!

He enjoys using the pH meter to act like he is scientist. I just tried to put a lot of care into. Teaching.
