I admire your dedication too true organic farming methods! You and your team will be an unstoppable force against BIG PHARMA AND MONTESANO! Go Build-A-Soil!
the thing that makes me like this series so much as a beginner is just the love that you have for the plants and the dedication to pass the information about it to other people. I have started watching with the single purpose to learn how to grow, but now I am into gardening because I have started appreciating to see how life can thrive with love, dedication and biology . Thanks for showing me this whole new point of view in growing plants, I really appreciate it !!!
Big supporter of BAS. I have used it all and the quality of ingredients/ammendments is second to none. 40-50lb bags are fairly priced considering what our beds take per run. Love that they carry fenugreek as well as we use that and white dutch for cover crop. Id use kis as there products are comparable but I have yet to have to go there. BAS has taken great care of me!
I don’t know Jeremy but if y’all dislike his video y’all need to stop watching ...he don’t need you trust me show the respect he gives ...he doesn’t have to go out of his way for you but he does atleast hit a like button nothing useless in this video..
This series is most informative and EASY to understand! Thank you so much I cannot express how much this has helped me. Thank you thank you and thank you again.
I found the second channel worth subscribing to. I discovered this 10x10 series last night and would have finished all four, but ended up looking at the Build A Soil website for an hour. Now that I finished the one that I missed, I need this content to be much longer lol. Great stuff; I cannot wait to get with the program.
You guys have given me so many tips which will help with my next grow. Have been trying and experimenting with living soil and had a few issues thank you.
Definitely enjoy watching your videos as a new grower going inside is definitely enjoy able especially with it be legal in my state now 😀😉😎but I raise worms and i have been feeding them on a pretty good diet I'm truly trying to do it without having to buy products that help you and so far I'm truly happy with the first grow so far I've been seeing some of unusual burning on some due to it being stronger mix than some but definitely a thumbs 👍on my 1st of many more 😀😊😄
Love ur show Man U have good energy your patient with every ones question good or bad although maybe no question is bad but yeah ur very informative and consistent dope show
Thanks for all of this golden information man! I started growing with coco and dry amends, next round doing this for sure, got my vermicompost bin in full swing, hoping to get as many beneficial inputs as you've got brotha! 😄👍
I need more videos to watch!! Lol I'm sorry take your time I just love the videos, thanks for making this company. I've been using your stuff for about 3 years now. Love your dream man.
you ever distill things from a juicer for the terpene? You'll get everything under 220, i like grapefruit, broccoli, lemon balm or orange banana kale. Trying to start a clitoria ternatae now, after seeing it on a Tibetan Buddist site as a premeditation tea.
Love the videos. So educational. Organic living souls is so interesting to me. I have a question. I run an indoor 4x4 tent. If I were to get a 3x3 fabric bed and put in a 4x4 flood drain tray, how many Cannabis plants could I run in the bed? I was thinking 4
@@BuildASoil you know I think some of these bigger commercial places online carry them but will check around. I grew one in a container years ago...did very well
Hello @BuildASoil , Just watching your videos -they're great. You mentioned having problems heating your greenhouse, I would want to recommend passive heating. @Dong Jianyi has some great videos and explanations. He grows year round in snow, with no heating
This is awesome. A whole lot to take in with me being a brand brand new grower. Just got me a plant last week. Brought a grow light and small tent. How offer should I water my plant on a weekly basis and as far as lighting and humidity, whats the on off ratio with those.
Just wondering if u cud explain em-1 and it’s many uses and times when not to use it ? Things r looking 👌 wish I had some space for a 10x10 it really is cool how u can walk in and out 👍😊
Loving these series 👍🏻 keep them coming ! I’m learning soooo much from you ! I’ve followed your earth box on instagram and trying one very soon ! Have a good week and stay safe and healthy ! Question? I’m using fresh aloe Vera how much should I use and should I blend it or scrap the meat out and add to water ? Thank you in advance 👊🏼
Fresh and great info bro. From argentina watching every chapter. I’m a begginer grower, started with two spiderlights from my video and photo productions (graphic designer) and just a month ago bought my first leds cob and see really nice improvements. Just to tell the story of that fluorescents lights gettin nice yields. Harvest six times in these time could get well buds under those 440w cfl’s. One problem (of many) that i’ve had is the soil getting dry and some kind of water repealing or phobic, can you give some tips about it (the soil is promix premium buy at the growshop) in argentina dont have yet too many products to buy.
Great videos I am learning a lot I would like to say that I had purchased your craft blend and some worm castings to re-amend my old Ocean Forest Fox Farm soil because I did not want to waste the soil it still looks good I make one cubic foot with 20% worm castings and 4 cups of craft blend am I doing it right please let me know
That will work excellent!!! Once mixed just make sure it still feels like it will drain well or you might want to add some pumice or rice hulls. But all in all, I'm certain what you are doing will still work very well.
If you are still answering questions on this video as it's older. Love these videos btw! I want to do Three 3x3's so I should order three BuildASoil Take 'N Bake kits right? I just want to make sure it's enough cubic feet to fill all three. Thank you!
We are going to have to discuss this on camera soon but we are on 18 hours of light for now and will switch to 12 later in the series. Appreciate you dropping the comment. Happy growing Fudroy! 🙏🌱
Hey, I really love your approach, but since I am trying to grow similar on my balcony, could you point out the main differences between indoor and outdoor organic grow?
My municipal water is high in chloramines, if using RO water how should I remineralize for my living soil beds? Thanks for all the knowledge and for supplying great products
Awesome!! My only question is why didn't you have these videos when I started? Don't get me wrong I downloaded your soil explanation videos and appreciated them very much as I followed them step by step. I do have 1 3x3 and a 30-gallon pot. I want to get another bed and hopefully transfer what life I have in my 30 gallon into another 100 gallon pot or maybe a 4x4 =)
@@TwistedTornsTirade I'm torn. I like the idea of blumats but think it's best for people that already know how to water very well and want to automate a bit. If you don't know what's right sometimes trusting all these meters and automations can lead to large problems. Either way, watering properly is VERY important so if You can dial in Blumats they totally make sense.
Because Living Soil takes time to activate the environment, and Autoflowers have smaller grow windows, does it make sense to use "take and bake" for small pots?(3gal) I Really wanna make the jump from the bottle nutes.
So just to be clear, you use the 3500k light for your whole cannabis grow and then just switch the light cycle according to if you are in veg or flower??? thank you so much for the knowledge
Can you recommend a soil mix for a trichocereus pachanoi or bridgesii as I have several and everyone hates on me as I grow with my typical rols+ amendments for can and veggies except I add about 40+% pumice to my mix. I know everyone says "it's to organic" (I imagine a whining voice) I tend to go heavy with crab meal, alfalfa, oyster shell, granular humic, neem seed meal, and a heavy dash of fish bone and fish meal. Also my soil is 50/50 peat/coco then I add to that 40-50% pumice. And also 8s pumice a good replacement for growstones? As I hate perlite for a rols setup as it tends to make the soil hard after a year or two of ♻️. Thank Jeremy love the content and glad to see you uploading often, been waiting for these days for some time now. Edit: I forgot I also add a very hefty amount of rice hulls to the mix and a heafty dash of sopo.
It would be great if, when you mention things like the software you use to map your farm, if you could drop the name so we don't have to guess which episode it might be in your future episodes. Just a brief mention. Thanks.
Hey, this is great content. My cousin put me on to build a soil as we use a lot of your products in our out door grows. I do have a question about hydro grow nutrient solutions. Do you have an organic recommendation of liquid nutrients to use that are as good as the Flora products, but healthy/organic? I would really appreciate your honest recommendation.
Lately our customers are raving about Eden Blue Gold for organic liquid feed. It's great for living soil in small amounts to boost yield etc. I always think that good soil is the answer! We do carry the Eden Blue Gold and the Fusion Veg and Fusion Flower work very well as a simple 2 part.
YESSSS We used to sell Soapnuts for this very reason and I still think it's one of the best ways to go. Best method is to freshly grind up soap nuts then mix 2 tablespoons to 1/2 cup warm not hot water. Whisk thoroughly until a slight foam appears which means the saponins are active. strain the formula and use within 4 hours or discard. Use 5 to 30ml per liter of water or same rate to emulsify oils. If using straight soap nut dilution to spray leaves check for toxicity before wide spread use. That recipe is from a commercial grower that I've worked with a ton and they would slay PM and loved using SoapNut for many reasons.
@@BuildASoil Thank you so much. I put one in a mason jar and shook it. The jar immediately filled up with suds, so i assumed it must have some saponin content. My first run with living soil has been a total failure, perhaps this will help a bit. lol
I have a 5×5 what size bed would you put inside and whats the max and min of plants? Also I suck at reusing soil i tried and couldn't get anywhere lol so i want back to buying super soil.
If I want to use Alfalfa sprout teas, what sort of dilution is considered safe? I heard the enzymes can collapse biology when used too high. If i was to sprout 1/4 cup Alfalfa seeds to 5 gallons, would that be safe spread over 100-120 gallons of soil? Any thoughts?
Microbial Collapse is a myth to sell more microscopes. You can easily make an SST like you discuss and use across that much soil no problem. I tend to only add Enzymes to soil that has plants growing in it and preferably after I've fed or topdressed as the enzymes are helpful in making those nutrients available. My favorites are Malted Seeds like the Gnarly Barley, the Rootwize Enzymes are Really nice and I also like the Organic Diastatic Malt Extract. Many ways to go and all of them typically lead to really nice plant turgor and visible plant happiness. Trust your gut!! Do what makes your plants happiest.
@@BuildASoil As a follow up... If I spray the product Doctor Zymes for pest pressure should I take precautions to reduce the drip onto the soil surface? I actually just sprayed and spread newspaper over the soil to catch most of it since I heard this can also be an issue. Just wondering if you think I should continue doing so to keep the soil at peak health.
loving the series. i have a 65 gallon smarp pot that i plan to use for living soil recipe. i was wondering how can i replicate the moisturelock tech on the sides of the pot?
Hey guys great series. i just purchased your 3.0 to fill my 4x4 grassroots living soil bed. what would be the best process to get everything going? should i just dump it all in there then wet it down with the saponin and leave it for a couple of weeks before i add my cover crop and mulch layer?
Oh Jeff you are in the right place my friend. Watch the next few episodes and if you have more detailed questions please stay with us in the comments. Appreciate you dropping the comment and thank you for using our products! 🙏🙏🙏
@@dragoniousmaximus7304 I did watch the previous episode. That's why i am wondering since the 3.0 has already been mixed up that i would not have to perform that step because i am not mixing anything together.
Next episode!!! We will cover that for sure. But Yes I would add the 3.0 and then moisten properly. Then I like to add the cover crop and mulch layer. If waiting awhile to plant you can hold off on the cover crop until closer to transplant time... Worst case if your cover crop grows too fast you can chop and drop it before transplanting.
We have average right now set on our Fan controller to run at 78 degrees and 65% humidity. I had it running a little warmer but the fan wouldn't kick on often enough and I wanted good airflow. This seems to be working well right now.
Do you ph your water in earthboxes? and living soil? Noticed especially when using EM1 water goes from tap of 7.2 down to around 4.2. Had heard with living soil you didn't need to worry about ph but me thinks that may be true in outdoor grows or very large pots. In EB's, was having issues with yellowing of leaves when in bloom. Since I started ph ing water all seems to be ok.
When the water is filtered and clean we don't worry about PH at all and I don't add EM-1 to the reservoir. That being said, I do like EM-1. Yellowing leaves in flower to me would stem from larger plants and needing some more Nitrogen, topdressing more and a little earlier will help keep that from happening. I will address the PH question soon on camera

Whats the average temperature & humidity in this tent? Please
We have average right now set on our Fan controller to run at 78 degrees and 65% humidity. I had it running a little warmer but the fan wouldn't kick on often enough and I wanted good airflow. This seems to be working well right now.
Sheesh this guy grows the way I wish I could, I tried to use the link brotha it doesn't work just a heads up. Great videos and education.
Do you ph your water in earthboxes? and living soil? Noticed especially when using EM1 water goes from tap of 7.2 down to around 4.2. Had heard with living soil you didn't need to worry about ph but me thinks that may be true in outdoor grows or very large pots. In EB's, was having issues with yellowing of leaves when in bloom. Since I started ph ing water all seems to be ok.
When the water is filtered and clean we don't worry about PH at all and I don't add EM-1 to the reservoir. That being said, I do like EM-1. Yellowing leaves in flower to me would stem from larger plants and needing some more Nitrogen, topdressing more and a little earlier will help keep that from happening. I will address the PH question soon on camera
You really know your shit thanks or sharing the knowledge
Can you use red wrigglers from a tackle shop?
The more I watch the more stuff I buy
Hey man. Thanks again for doing this. Do you have to use live worms? Or is a cover crop and top dressings enough?
Yes we use, and love live worms, they are important! And we'll be showing that on camera. Please stay tuned!
To answer this directly. NO! You DO NOT have to have worms. We like to add them, but it's not Imperative.
@@BuildASoil thanks man. Hard to find an answer on that. I’d like to have a worm farm. But I’m in NYC homes. That’s a no go over here. Lol. Thank you again!!!
With living soil, can you have red wiggles in it?
I just cant understand the plant only taking what it needs and not worrying about a flush at the end. Will you cover this please. Thanks Face
Great comment, that is why we are doing these videos! if you follow the series we will cover this as we get closer to that stage. 👍🌱⚡
