Can't wait to get my order from Build a Soil...
That feeling doesn’t go away no matter how many orders you make lol
What did you order? If we can know.😉
Craft blend , build a bloom, and a few other items..
@@captainpeckerhead4551 oh, all right. Good choice. I too thinking about to switch to organic all the way. Cheers bro
@@Trrenik0kb go for it dude you’ll love it and so will your plants
I grow in coco and I really enjoy watching Jeremy tell me how to “really” do it with living soil. I’m all about microbes, I’m sure after watching a little longer….
Cheers everyone!!
Yes this please!
Going back to soil after all of my veg just died . ALL the plushberrys , the widow fem AND the MOAC ...gone 😞 Only thing I can point to is transplant so maybe bad batch of coco or castings ( or both ) So imma do a few earth boxes while I start some new genetics is soil .
I’m really enjoying organic in coco, living soil just isn’t conducive to my growing schedule.
I can be watching something totally different but then get a BAS notification from TH-cam.. I drop everything lol
Starting to take notes on all of these FAQ's. The history being shared is amazing!!
Do a full episode going over everything Earthbox related, there are a ton of us growing in these and I’ve picked up so many great tips over all of the episodes. Having an episode that consolidates that information would be most excellent.
Yes!
Yes, ditto
Agreed!
Yes! I love my earthboxes!
@@fadedassss This is my first grow and I am using Earthboxes and my buddy (who is a VERY experienced grower) and was blown away at the explosive growth and how good the plants look.
you have a real gift for disseminating information.
Dude I hope this is paying off for you. So much quality information. I love these videos.
I love listening to these FAQ videos while doing garden chores! 👏🏼🌱👏🏼
Same it’s like having your garden Sensei talk to you while you work
Best video series ever!
Requests for content, FAQ etc
1. discussion on how much is too much in terms of inputs/avoiding overnuting
2. creating much more detailed schedules for how to use all of the products- you could create different categories- very basic, basic, intermediate, advanced, super geeked out- each would have a list of the products used (very basic= very few products and super geeked out= loads of products) and a schedule on how to use
3. Earth boxes- would love more dedicated content
4. You guys could take all of the existing video content and have an editor pull out the content by category (Earthbox, pots, bed) and create dedicated videos to for each category with the content you already have
Keep up the amazing work- I have learned so much about gardening and more importantly- Life

Just wanted to take a second to let you know how much we all appreciate all you do!! All the information you put into these videos has helped so many people. Not just with cannabis, but just overall. I look for ways to be healthier, not just myself, but for the planet too.. You do a good job explaining how, and why to do things. Anyhow, I'm getting ready for next season. I want to use all buildAsoil stuff. What soil do you recommend for outdoor grow, Michigan. Gonna do 5, 15 gallon smart pots. I want to do the live soil no-till. I have my compost pile all ready to go. Again, I appreciate this so much!
i did the light and 3.0 recipes outdoor, they both did phenomenal
Yea I had 15 gals with 3.0 that crushed it outdoors .
Thanks for doing these. So informative.
'Monster cropping' is a new one to me.. very much agree
Appreciate the informative material without being boring or stale.👍
Nice! Great info as always! ✌️
Dude, the U-Haul advice is stellar! Thank you for recognizing that some of us don't own. I live in a legal state and still have to hide my grow. Empty, it's a dark room for my wife's photography haha. ✌️
What episode is that?
@Gerardo Lemus Jr this episode. He briefly mentions it. Just says if you have an inspection or something rent a U Haul and put the plants in there a few hours.
@@greennova4923 ah ok thanks. I may need to look into that. Hate that its legal to buy but not grow. Really stupid from Washington State. Shoulda stayed in cali lol
@Gerardo Lemus Jr ah man I hear ya. Virginia legalized home grow but is dragging ass on rec sales haha. I prefer home grow. I rent tho, so I gotta keep it small, just a 4x2 with three 10 gal pots.
Appreciate all the knowledge 🙏 💯 👌
Since following BAS I have started a couple of worm bins to support my no-till grow. Little by little and I'm getting there 🤞
I'm using a 4x4 space which is all I can do for now although it's been a challenge but I strongly believe that if you continue the BAS way there is hope.
Thanks BAS 🔥🔥🔥
I only watch 6 minutes and 30 seconds I enjoyed it actually made sense very thorough and detailed information love the video keep posting🤔😉😎
Ty 4 showing me the B.A.S.way vvvm.ik it's your co.,your products 4 sale,but at the same time a person could take these tech.,buy (as close as possible )other products,and achieve th same results.i don't.but I could.i support B.A.S.as much as possible,just got a bag of Kashi in.took a min to get here,but deff worth the wait.living soil is with out a doubt in my mind the ONLY way to go.so once again thank you very much 4 all th knowledge u share and also all the great products u have to offer th general public.im following u from th gulf coast.( Of Mexico)
Thank you!
As always, these videos are treasures. Thank you!
Hey man nice set of questions and answers I really appreciated this
Excellent work, as always, Jeremy!
Another great FAQ, 👍 love picking up all of this knowledge!
I love the instant results from coco hydroponics and the massive potential involved with hydro but I definitely like the idea of going with soil and not constantly buying nutrients. They do get expensive and I’m not that worried about huge yields anyway.
I would like to see the mushroom 🍄 farm. Want to learn more for the benefits for my health as well as the benefits for my plants 🪴. As always Big Up to Jeremy and the whole Build a Soil family.
Hahahaha ..funny you got yer wish on the next vid . Respect & Blessings
Various agricultural pellets are useful. Pellets for rabbits, beet pellets etc. I like the way they break down in the soil with gradual watering. I'm not sure as to whether or not you could make say a slow release bio char pellet in a certain size. I know that it is really expensive to bring a new product to market due to the cost of research. One of the cheaper ingredients that I use with my plants and vegetables is the old bird seed that seems to pile up under the feeders. I use this along with some of the new growth to put in my "bubbling mixtures" I'll add in just a tinch of bio char mixture from the outdoor fire pit.
Aloha Jeremy!!!
Thank you once again!!!
Don’t have a question or request this time around just wanna say how much value I get out of this series, always bringing the best knowledge an the best vibes. as a new grower I truly appreciate you!
The biochar powder looks like the same used in Pacific Gro Hydrolysate. Good stuff. Glad to see someone else sell it.
I'm am excited to try your 3.0 soil no ph easy Is better for me especially being a beginner, bit I must say I have progress thank to you and the cannabis community for sharing your knowledge Much appreciated you dig 😀
Excellent
HAHA I LOVE THE ACTUALLY THINKING OF EVEN PEOPLE IN A APARTMENT AND MAYBE INSPECTONS HAHA SO SMART.
Excited to try the products! Very helpful every time ive tried to reach out!
Hot Damn, always a rush when you see a new build a soil video🤘🥳
Thanks loving this man on my first grow and I reamended some hand me down old soil and its crazy stuff man
Thanks for all you do.
Damn I love growing outdoor
Appreciate all the knowledge, Thank you for the content!
the bread in the bucket trick is how we keep homemade cookies fresh too.
Awesome episode as usual and loads of great information and knowledge. Also really looking forward to the mushroom farm tour 😊👏
Just ordered the Shitake mushroom log. Can't wait to get it!!!!
Thanks for answering my question 🙏🙏
Thank you for the great info
Great Info!
I use coco/perlite with dry nutes and worm castings.. but I add The Q,Aloe and Coconut powder. Just ordered more BAS products. Outdoor next year running soil from yall!
Yes sir been waiting for a new video! I do have a question! With your bags of soil and the bags of buildaflower, I have extra bags of both that I bought and want to know how long if stored properly it'll last? Oh and one more thing that Buildasoil License plate hat can you please have some made so we can purchase one?Thanks Jeremy I really appreciate it!
You briefly touched on this in this episode but could you expand on using coco as a 1 to 1 replacement for peat in living soil? Reason is I’d rather use the waste product than the non renewable. Thank you. Appreciate all you folks do.
Thanks for answering my question I’m going to go build a soil all the way in the future but right now the Coco is working amazing with the products
do you bro! 👍
super awesome episode. thinking of moving to small pots 1 to 3 gal instead of a 2x4 grassroots bed. easier canopy management when running from seed and less transpiration of water in the winter, more wet/dry cycles. any thoughts would be appreciated. much love
super stoked for my order of Colorado vermi compost from yall ! gonna top dress the big rootz with that and the symsoil compost
I've used grapes to re-hydrate dry bags. The little hole where the stem was is just big enough to slowly release some moisture.
You should make a season with using either 15GAL or 20GAL. Or would you say it’s very similar to the 30GAL as far as top dressing?
Thanks for all you do and investing your time to teach us! Much love
Talking about amending soil. I have a vegetable garden every year raised bed I usually will get manure and sometimes some promix and mix it in. I've stopped tilling too. sometimes at the end of the year I will go to the bait and tackle store and buy three or four containers of worms and dig holes and dump them in random spots in my garden. I would definitely be interested to see how the biochar would work. This year with what I just said I had 15 foot tomato plants
Cheers, appreciate the content as always.
Happy croptober.
Grow more trees!
Jeremy! Thank you guys for all the knowledge. This is how the industry should be… others, FOLLOW SUITE! My question is, what’s your opinion on using non organic PH up/down in living soil?
Unless the pH of your water is really out of whack you don't need to adjust it in living soil. The soil buffers.
so, I've been loving using these earthboxes recently, using nothing but your build a flower top dress, craft blend, and your bokashi. everything has been running smooth, but as i finish i have some questions about re-amending. I'm not using any actual build a soil soil, just promix with some organic amendments I already had from building super soil over the years. Knowing this, does it make sense to still treat the system like a no-till setup and plant covercrop over the soil after the run? are there other amendments other than craft blend and build a flower that i should consider? thanks and have a wonderful day.
Perfect timing
Could you please talk about worms a little bit more? Is the cover crop and its droppings along with their roots, craft blend, grokashi and compost enough and diverse enough for the worms to thrive? I was told/read to feed my worms things like watermelon, comfrey & avocado. What are the benefits and/or down sides to this? Thanks for all your hard work and spreading the knowledge.
So much of what you say reinforces where I think I should go. Confidence makes such a difference. Thx.
Wanna hang out?
People don’t get how much fungi is a part of life . It’s what breaks everything down and adapts to what we do . It should be talked about a lot more but most people just assume your talking about getting high when you bring up mushrooms and fungi
lol. Nice that you called out the shiesty corporate "galaxy" cannadna site.. which we shall not name ha
Add a piece of bread 🥖 that’s how you keep cookie soft
hay Jeremy just want to say the vid with padro was next level been a fan for a long time have a question from season 1 10x10: Episode #1 @ 013 into the ep next to the right side of your head the orange fan it has some funky movement to it who makes it?🤔
while on the topic of breeding … if one were to harvest the main cola of a plant leaving the branches to force pollen and allow seeds to form would this be a way to S1 the plant ? I feel this is a good way to test the flower and allow the plant to produce a clone of itself in seed form, save the time on revegging and taking cuts and those root and then transplant shock and veg time all the way to flower, instead of taking a clone off the revegged plant. bobthe_gardener says just harvest what you need off the plant and leave the rest to seed plus then you have preserved genetics … cheers canna family
You won't have "seed" if your female plant hasn't been fertilized by a male. You're leaving something out of the equation, in other words, NO ?
Lettuce is also a strong contributor to reintroducing moisture to your herb.
whew, been waiting on a new episode.
Awesome sauce
What about ferments? Can you show us some ferments we can make and use during the life cycle of the plants.? Also ways to use the dry build a soil products such as insect frass to make fermented liquid nutruents
Is there a difference in Rootwise, Bokashi and other products like Recharge to inoculate a soil?
How should I use the grow cal in soil it says don't on the bottle without soil testing but im in the 2 week of flower seen Jeremy do it I assume just really diluted just wondering if you had ratios
I'd like to hear your thoughts on using BTI to help control fungus gnat population.
Doing liquid nute fed fox farm and such soil grows I had fungus gnats and sometimes borderline infestation status. Had to target each life stage so Yellow stickies, Diatomaceous earth and starters. When it has progressed ive down peroxide 1part to 3 h20 drench, bottom feeding, drying out soil, changing watering habits etc etc.. and for the worse cases some organic neem oil. I've made a homemade tea with garlic and egg shells and other household ingredients with minor success too. Ultimately the living soil has been SUPER fungus gnats free! Aside from the predator bugs id say insect frass is the best thing to use for living soil... its a nutrient, 2-2-2 in some cases, as well as has chitin which triggers the plants auto defense. I don't have all the science memorized but Google can fill in the blanks. If you are in living soil, frass would be the ticket imo.
Ya ever notice, when you have something nasty on your hands or fingers, your nose starts itching. Great videos!
Haha, the tortilla method is the way
Would really love to see an episode or a segment explaining how to keep and maintain a mother plant.
The most important part of that is locking in on a strain that you've found particularly appealing from every aspect - final size, aroma from great terps, glisten from great tricomes. It is not always the total THC but instead the overall performance as far as yield and the ease of growth, etc. Once you lock in on a strain and begin to identify locations from which to take cuttings, mark or tag them. Once cuttings are taken, the mother is temporarily in mild shock. Take cuttings in the evening as this tends to lessen shock and dose with CalMag just before light changes. A mother plant will naturally try to go to Bloom and flower. If you intend to take several 'generations' of cuttings for an entire growing season you have a couple of options - one is to continue to take cuttings even as the mother is in the Bud+Flower phase. These will be chronologically the same age as the mother so you'll have an earlier maturing clone, as you have taken it during the mother's Bloom stage. But another option is to keep the mother plant in the Veg stage by not switching lighting and forcing Bloom. If you are able to maintain Veg over a longer period of time and take your cuttings then, those can also be placed on an extended Veg lighting schedule with plants that take a bit longer to mature as the cuttings were not taken during Bloom but instead during your extended Veg period. And you must maintain the correct feed and water programs for the cloning method you've chosen. I like cuttings late, just before bloom because the overall time to full maturity is shorter than a clone taken in early Veg. That said, the late clones often produce a shorter plant and those taken in early Veg tend to be both taller and bulkier, often with a greater yield. I hope this makes sense.
@@timp8472 Thanks - well said.
Have you ever used hygrozyme and if so, what are your thoughts about it? I've heard it is a none GMO that breaks down dead and dying roots to turn them into nutes. Love your products, love the videos with all the information needed. Keep up the amazing work!
I just had to remove a 4x8 bed while our house is for sale and it was a nightmare lol. Ultimately had multiple people scooping 5gallon pails into totes.
I went through hell trying to save a Cherry Fritter I got out of bag seed. By reharvested it. I had thrown it outdoors and didnt realize it had thrips when I brought it in to throw back into veg. Took weeks but I conquered the little fuckers for the 1st time ever by doing a combination of Plant Therapy and Doctor Zymes (not at the same time). Then it took a few more weeks before it kicked into gear and started shooting out new branches out of all the popcorn nugs that I left. Now I have some healthy clones from it and it was worth all the effort. I wouldnt advise it unless you really really love the strain though. This one is the skunkiest smelling one I have ever grown, I had to try and save it.
I was using tortillas for a while now I use the packs 😆
What about putting a tank on the bottom of the big fabric planters like the earthboxes with a feed tank at the bottom. I really like the no till sip platers.
👍 nice 👍 💯🔥
Whats up dudes?! I got a question..... So I am about to harvest and then re amend without a soil test. Instead of doing what you did in the last re amending episode with the different sulfates and minerals, could I make the same soil I did in the beginning with a third compost,aeration and peat and then mix the same minerals you do when you make soil. Kind of like the coots blend you sell or a recipe you have on that old old episode where you explain the difference of what you and Ras Truth use in making a batch of soil. For instance- 2 cups malted barley 2 cups basalt 1 cup gypsum 1 cup oyster shell 1/2 cup azomite 1/2 cup karanja cake 1/2 cup kelp meal 1/2 cup crab meal and 2 gallons of biochar per cubic foot and just add a good 5 to 7 inches of new soil on top of my old stuff in the 3x3's and then plant into that? Or is that defeating the purpose of everything you are teaching and I should do the science with Mr Bryant the soil test doctor? Much obliged and thank you for making me the best ganja grower in the hood!
I realized preserving jars in the garage might not b best. It's well insulated minus the door itself and that still gives u huge temp changes between day n night. Might cause condensation in ur jars?? I prefer to keep them in the basement. It's a bit too warm but at least it's consistent
I only have a 2x4 tent. What’s my best option for pot size? I’d love to run living soil but it seems with my limited space it might be a challenge.
Like the tortilla trick Jeremy, I just occasionally use a paper towel with a couple drops of water on it when needed. What are your thoughts about using coconut carbon for aquariums in the place of biochar?
I got a question for you I just purchased on a whim Aphrodite‘s extraction it’s supposed to improve flavor it’s by nectar of the gods and I’m running in organic soil after watching your video I noticed on the back of the bottle and has a low carbon count could I still use this in my grow would it be beneficial or should I just leave it out
what about using the used activated carbon from filters and rinse then straight into the media/soil?
Love the vids bro
Where did the skunk bud from the 80's and 90's go ? I remember that those buds where so stinky that even if you had it in your pocket , and took it out , you could still smell it . And they where soo sticky that if you squeezed it it would stick to your finger. Did it get bred out of existence ?
AG seed co had some available relatively recently, not sure if they are still in stock
@@zachgallardo4610 I don't believe any of the hype anymore . Everyone names these strains cakes and cookies and all that , but we all know that there's Indica , Sativa , and crosses . I will believe that the OG skunk exist when I see it and smell it and taste it for myself . Thank you though I'll go look
Do you rinse your Chapin sprayer out with Ro after used with additives like q and rootwise to prevent buildup?
Would it be better to start a plant in a really big planter instead of transplanting it and it takes a while to get out of the shock from transplant?
I heard coot was starting a seed company… 😎
What’s going on with the plants?
yes!!! I found it I have a 5x5... so you say to build a 4x4? what do yo do for RH%?
Hey J. Again, THANKS for your content! Its Gold! For us in Europe, that dont have the possibility to get your products delivered, and dont have the time to source all the elements of living soil, how do you recomend going about starting to grow in living soil? For now I grow with a finished organic soil with organic dry amendments. But I really want to switch to full organic and living soil. Best of regards from Denmark ❤️
what do you think about phytolab and their genetics breakdown
Do you have any thoughts or opinions on tissue cultures as an alternative to traditional cloning methods?
Great as always👌 but you're lagging your updates a little bit ain't you 😂
On coco.....my water causes salt toxicity after a month in soil. With coco the water to waste flushes my medium and I don't have any buildup issues. I've tried using soil with dry amendments and bottle nutrients. Always have lockout in flower. My water is well water with 100 ppm and about 6.2 ph.I'm guessing the 100 ppm is mostly salt content? Thanks Jeremy!!
Could you give us your thoughts on 'Terminator' please
Hi, can you do a video with 1 plant not clone, but auto and growing it with literally all organic with stuff from home that u can find less than 10$ each
For ph down concentrated lemon juice, ph up baking soda starting with that. And just add water kind of thing...
thinking about seeing blue and red ash? like in the center, sometimes you'll get like black white or gray. Do you think is the ph indicator? or some other chemical imbalance showing in its crystalline.
How much is "a ton" of biochar? I added 20lbs to a living soil I'm preparing for a Grassroots 3x3x18" bed. I precharged it with lactobacillus (LAB) and tea made from castings. Recipe is 3cu/ft Malibu, 3cu/ft coco, 3cu/ft castings, 1cu/ft pumice, 2cu/ft rice hull, 20 lbs charged biochar.
What is the status on sulfur in plant nutrients. I bought some all purpose liquid fertilizers, many types , and none of them had sulfur. What do you recommend for a sulfur supplement or nutrient, and how is sulfur used differently than all the other nutrients in the plant?
Hey Jeremy! Love the info & show! What humidifier(s) are you using in the 10x10? Thanks! Love from MN
