Aloha & Here in Hawaii for silica we use black lava cinders with acid peat moss. BINGO! I just won 1st place at the 2022. Emerald Cup Breeders Hall of Fame now i am with with Robert Connell Clarke and Mel Frank.
You're from the old NL crew right? (I apologize if I'm mixing you up with someone else)
@@uns33n Aurora ave. gangsters 1950s to 2022.
When "G" comments you know it's 😊
@gregmcallister3893 so do you put rock dust in your soil along with the cinders and peat?? Or just cinders?
Breooo I use black lava rock for mulch becuse it releases water into the soil ❤️ I hope it’s adding silica too
Dude is impressed with Jeremy and his speaking skills. Thank you Jeremy. You continue to inspire me. ✨️
I watched this before but just rewatched the last 7 minutes. Shit just got me pumped. Jeremy's passion about building soil is something else.
Appreciate the talk about eliminating heavy metals.. man, thank you. You and Brandon, truly.

the smirk on that guys face is great while jeremey is in the zone talking science as the sales guy
He was intrigued

We are all so very proud of you Jeremy. 👏
Hope you are well brother! I miss your Gold Bags.
Good to know Jeremy! And thanks for already putting it into the 3.0 and Craft Blend 👍😁
B.A.S...? What happened with RecycleSil? That was, by far, the best Silica supplement (99% Biogenic Silica) I've ever used, by a large margin, and I was purchasing it from your company. Now it's like it never existed, as every other type of Silica was mentioned in the video, but not The best you've had..?
I actually ordered some from Sio-Tex, who produces it, last time. It cost me more than you charged, but it's so incredible and requires so little, I didn't have a problem with the price.
What happened to this great product you distributed, and maybe still do, but since you didn't mention it at all when talking about Silica products, I'm guessing you don't distribute this greatest Silica I've ever found?
Love you guys and all you offer that others often don't have. You're one of a kind, in this Sea of products out there. Always great advice, as well!
What happened with RecycleSil?👍💯✌️
Edit: A year later now, and I see Sio-Tex, who created and sold this product, isn't in business anymore..?! Possibly because it was around for almost a decade with little advertisement.
I think word got around when BAS customers had incredible results..?! Stems never wider than a Sharpie pen, were suddenly the diameter of an industrial broomstick! Biggest difference I've had with one product!
Now, I've tried a few different Silicic Acid products. The expensive, 0.5ml/gallon rate, "top of the line" products, and VPS Structure, a Colloidal Silica.
None of these have come close to RecycleSil. And it was around $30/lb, 1/8 tsp per gallon of water. It was 99% Biogenic Silica, which must be different from Amorphous Silica, like in DE Silica, which wasn't noticable, at all.
Too bad you guys/someone else, couldn't get this recycled Rice Hull's technology to create this incredible product that otherwise goes to waste..?! I'd pay double the price for that! Just an incredible product, and from a waste product.
I'm going to try some Montana Grow, and see how it goes. I'm hoping for great outcomes. Better than Silicic Acid (Ortho/Mono. Same thing). RecycleSil really set the bar high!
My dream is that you'll be able to get this tech that's no longer being used (maybe for a great deal..?!), as it seems they're marketing was terrible.
No response ever from you..?! Maybe you are working on this at BAS..?! Seems simple, and exactly what you stand for! But maybe there were other problems with this "Super Silica". Or in taking over from the manufacturer..?!
Forgive my rambling, please! Id love to hear what you know about it's sad demise, and if you looked into "taking this tech off their hands", etc..?! The only BAS mystery I've never heard anything about..?!
PS- Love the Craft Blend, especially. Thanks Jeremy!
Great product Walmart Has 50lb Bag For 99 Dollars deff. worth the buy.Your plants will love you.Great vid
Rudolf Steiner name drop takes this to a whole new level of esoteric understanding 🤙❤
Dude. Your research blows me away.. I so need that book and need that product... 🤙 Got me as a full time flower...
Dude you're really teaching us great information and I appreciate it!
Wow, this was amazing! Not only a product highlight but a true explanation that will make us better gardeners!! I love how you got so deep into it that you even mentioned why or why not just ground up your own rocks and add them to the garden, which is something I thought about. I also found this quite fascinating since I'm learning a lot about minerals, rocks and crystals including those made from silica. Very thorough, Very cool as always!! 🤙
Hey just received my 5lb order of Silica, just a heads up the lid broke in the shipping envelope and a small amount spilled into the envelope(I just threw it in a tea I already had brewing so no worries) just figured you'd want to know. Thanks for making great content and having a pretty kickass online store.
Convinced. Just purchased a 25lb bag. Great video. Thanks Jeramy. 😎
Awesome video, mate! Got something new! Thanks for sharing:)
I bought it. I’m sprinkling it onto all my vegetable outdoor raised beds.
Great vid. Thank you I learned a lot from it.
In fact I’ve learned a lot from so much of what you’ve done
Thank you
I feel privileged just watching and extracting pertinent information.
I remember my step father having bags of Azomite in the eighties. He (we) spread like 30 bags of it on our gardens. He went to college for plant science at Penn State and we owned 3 acres that he planted 90% full of food. I spent many hours pulling weeds, shucking peas, picking beans....money was tight then.
First time I started adding silica in a grow my plants were very noticeably thicker in there roots and stalk/branches. Look forward to trying out Montana grow in the near future.
Same - tried power si and my plants vigor was light years ahead of before I used it. I’ll never be without a silica/mono salicylic in my garden. ☮️
@@Shepp6769same the difference before and after is a million percent
*their
I use silicone dioxide always remember silica goes in first as they said cheers wonderful content keep them coming neighbor
Your knowledge and passion for what you do is absolutely amazing! I have thought about how great it would be if I could move to your nock of the woods, work for and beside you strictly for the knowledge!!! Keep up the most knowledgeable videos on this topic I’ve ever seen!!
So how can I apply to come work with you???
Every video on this channel blows my mind. My next run is gonna be the BAS way and I’m positive it will crush.
Outstanding!!!!! Love this product, love all the great info about silica and all the amazing benefits
Good show, I had just been researching silicon for plant health. I'm using Silicon Dioxide.
Great video,We need build a soil up here in Canada bad! I would love to try some more of your products!
GAME CHANGING PRODUCT. I ordered a big bag to do mixed into lixing soil hybridized w hydro/mobile DWC... GAME CHANGER Thank you Sirs! I would value this product over all other for any plant PERIOD. One of the best cultivators in the world. Amorphous silica LETS GO!
i would feel completely safe if this guy was holding all the infity stones. I trust him!
I just started researching this yesterday and here you are delivering some prime content thank you
Love the content been using the craftblend for about 8 months now and really love how it's helped my plants
Thank you, just put some in the checkout cart . Can’t wait to use it
Planes flying over was awesome 😎 😉😀. I’ve been using Silica for PM, but now it’s a metal diluter or remover is even more awesome it does so much..Great video
Love the product highlight...where would this be used in relation to the BAS schedule?
OMG this is awesome and another must buy. Is this in craft blend? Do I need to add to that?
Brain knowledge spill, he’s letting the gate of brain knowledge open n it’s spilling out, Everybody get your brain sponge out n absorb that knowledge!!! ✌️🤟Thank you MUCH appreciated 🙏🏻
I've been using a liquid Silica boost for a little over a month and I feel like it's making all my stems and leaves thicker. I'm using it on hoyas and aroids. I actually found this video while researching whether or not silica would be a good thing to add to the water from my tomato seeds
Holly cow!!! Just more amazing information!!!! Thank you so much!!!
with the rice hulls u will also get silica once the hulls break down I believe I could be wrong but I remember him talking about it
Yup just takes a cpl months
Whats up with the autoflowers this week? Has the 18/6 group caught up with the 12/12 plants? It will be interesting to see if they finish together as well as comparing yield and quality.
I didn’t even know about silica in soil till about 18 years ago when I was looking for a natural way to keep bad bugs off my plants. I read about Diatomaceous earth and decided to try it out, so I got a good size container of food grade (which I thought meant it had been tested for things like heavy metals to be used that way, not necessarily true) and dusted my plants pretty heavy because it was Florida and pests are bad. Well it rained of course and washed it right into the soil pretty fast, so I reapplied. Long story short that year was phenomenal compared to others and eventually heard about silica in it helping but it was like a wives tale back then and hard to find good info on it. Thank you guys as always for looking out for us and the soil. I look forward to using this product!!
I'm a Lil confused ...you said that year was phenomenal was it a good or bad experience?
@@deporteezdestiny3751 it was a great experience. The plants responded very well and I didn’t really get why till learning more about the silica in the diatomaceous earth. I was just trying to help control bugs on my plants.
@@brianbyrne7506 ok...thanks for the insight.
@@deporteezdestiny3751 you are very welcome!!
Does all D.E. have Silica in it? Can i just add D.E. or does it have to be food grade to have it in there?
These more advanced topics are exactly what we need these days, most growers are blazing away by now so….. note,I use a liquid watering additive bought at my local hydroponic grow store. Hydroponic watering programs recommend it be added first before a list of five or six prior to final ppm and phmesure and adjust. Yep ya spoke of cation exchange. It’s correct.
It's because of Silica's ability to bind. If added in concentrated form it can cause fallout. You will see a cloud in your reservoir as it binds to everything else which then falls out of solution and sinks to the bottom. So the mix order is the order of most reactive: First Silica, then Calcium or Cal-Mag, then Micro because that often has Calcium in it. If I'm doing a biological such as liquid bacteria / mycos product I'll pH first then add them so they have the best chance of living.
You are a great teacher my plants are busting out of my greenhouse
I’m so excited to start my second grow with all this knowledge. Not just from this but all that you’ve made available.
Thanks for highlighting this and it's importance. I've read a lot and people are talking about green sand. If only that Montana grow silica was in the UK. Much love as always thanks you as always. Important ingredient i only hear you talking about
Great content, learning everyday. Thank you
Great episode
Hey Jeremy, how are you man? I’ve literally watched all your videos and I’ve learned so much and I seriously am on the edge of my seat every time I see you posted a new one. Thanks for what you do! They should honestly offer gardening as an elective in school, and you should be there syllabus behind it. Anyway I have a question and I’m hoping you can help. What are your thoughts on a 6/2 light schedule? Do you have any experience with this? Or maybe your personal thoughts? I’m running photos. And I only ask because I’m having serious temperature issues in my 5 x 5. I have a 6 inch AC infinity exhaust, with a 4 inch AC infinity pumping air in, one small fan on my light, and one circle circulation fan Midway hanging. And it’s still hitting 86 to 90° in my tent. I’m running a California Lightworks solarextreme 500. And it just puts off a lot of heat. And unfortunately due to funds I cannot afford a portable AC unit or lowering my temp in my house. My electric bill is already $200 a month and I can barely make that. Thanks Jeremy any input would help… oh yeah, and i live in Az and its supposed to be 103 all this week… :( so yeah
Switch to a 12/1 veg cycle and 8/16 during flower. Keep your tent open when lights are on. You're welcome!
Weird Science!
My garden only needs to pass my test ;) , but I'm glad you're looking out for those that have to comply with other tests.
Back in the day GH had a silica product, a clay like powder you had to add hot water to and mix. It seemed like it added something but they quit selling it.
Never thought the liquids were the same, but that stuff looks nice, definitely going to try some out.
Wollastonite
ENTHUSIASM! I love it, great video as always
#SaveSoil you Buildasoil folks are doing it right let’s take it one step further
I love the sound of this silica! I’m excited for my plants!
Whats your thoughts about Azomite u said u stoped selling it im curiouse why.. thanks for your info and research..
Great video
Great vid! Would love to know a little more about the differences between this product and something like PowerSi
I had the same question^
Powersi is monosilicic acid therefore immediately available. Montana grow si is si. Si is not plant available. When the rhizosphere breaks down Montana grow si it transforms into monosilicic acid and is then plant available. Depending on the natural si source it will take weeks or months to become available. Power si has no time lag and can be foliar fed but montana grow is much more affordable. There's no real testing but probably best practice is use a monosilcic acid for first few weeks or month and amend montana grow every transplant. After the first month montana grow should be giving all the si needed. If you have low ph you can use a product like pro-tekt to raise ph and supply si simultaneously. It will still take weeks or months to convert so probably still use monosilicic acid to start with. Imho🍻
Thank you so much for the knowledge keep nerding out I love it man thanks ✌️🔥🌲🔥🍄
This video, along w the data dump all across the web such as Dr Bruce's NASA study info, convinced me this was the optimum product. I ordered a 100 lb bag immediately direct. it is HANDS DOWN the most useful, highly valued additive I have ever purchased and owned aside from Calcium Hydroxide for SPS coral prop. This is arguably the BEST mushroom TEK developer in the world speaking, and arguably one of the best cultivators in flora as well. Thanks Sirs. you CRUSHED it hard w this one and major Props to OG: you didnt have to keep that company going I know you passed on far more lucrative opportunities but you did a major service to humanity and have exposed the secret to food security for the masses: tapping into silica reserves as 80% of the earth's crust. people: even sand can be a source. this is the BEST source I have seen for soil, of course monosilic acids hydro are GREAT too but this is better. more even, sustained release controlled by fungi at mathematical perfection. Thanks a million for humanity, for eternity.
Thank you Jeremy! Very cool! Silica is an underdog and it's often overlooked.
I feel like PowerSi is the 800 lb gorilla in the room. Can you please give your feedback on that product? From what I've seen and heard, PowerSi works wl for both hydro and soil applications. Can you please explain why or why not PowerSI would fit into the living soil regimen? Thank you for all the great content!
Jeremy, what was the video Coot made you watch about rocks and the beginning of aminos and life? You mentioned it briefly. This is great content! The whole boron to silicon to calcium progression answers so many questions. Now I know how all that calcium becomes available. I grow in the Take and Bake (4th cycle). It has the rice hulls and basalt. I top dress with Craft Blend. Thanks again! Grow well my friend. DB da OG
Life's Rocky Start!!! rmpbs.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/nvfb-sci-lifesrockystart/wgbh-nova-lifes-rocky-start-full-length-broadcast/
Thank you! It just so happens, I just finished rewatching this episode. I am getting ready for my next run. A mono crop from my keeper from my last run. I got a 5 lbs size of the MG. Going to do a side by side. I will totally document it on IG. I am excited to add this to my living soil. Take And Bake going into my fifth run in 15 gallon containers. Again, thanks for the link. Can’t wait to dive in. @DB_da_OG ✌️
I said I couldn’t wait. Just finished watching it. Took notes galore. Definitely am going to watch a few more times. I’m a geek. So much interesting info. From the six stages of Earth to the many scientists, Miller, Yuri, Hazen and Blake. My favorite line, “Rocks created life. Life creates rocks.” Oysters create rocks. Trilobites created rocks 540 million years ago. Wow! Thank you again for sharing. And let Coot know you passed on the knowledge he shared a while back. I will definitely pass this on to others. 🙏🏻 DB
Loving this info. Been reading about silica. Besides foliage spray can I add it as a top dress if I have already have my plants in final area or pot?
I commend you for being able to read on camera and not screw it up. Something I've always struggled with reading aloud. Love your products. And is this in the coot's mix already or do I have to buy it separately?
I put pool filter sand in bottom of my living soil beds, hoping that my plants will benefit from the silica in the sand over time. Also with some greensand in the soil mix. Thanks for all your info
I get my extra plant available silica from oats soaked for 24hrs . My soil is a living soil mix of good clay, great compost, peat, granite rockdust, seaweed and worm castings , plus extra earation from potting grit instead of perlite.
Also I layed the 15g fabric pot in the Leighton Morrison soil horizons system
@Nick Phelan I live in the west of Ireland . I used clay I knew would not have been sprayed with chemicals.
For cannabis it's main problem is poor drainage. I ammended with compost peat and potting sand to make it drain better
@Nick Phelan phelan is a common name here . Soon I'll be smoking some white widow auto I'm finishing up.
No laws have changed here and I haven't cared for over 20 years . But growing is complicated ✌️ I ran pineapple express aut the run before and I'm going to be starting a something/skittles auto next
Question is there anyway you would be able to do a grow that shows the effects of deficiencies/toxicity..what too much/little N.P.K looks like and too much/little micronutrients look like and how to fix the issues using BUILDASOIL products. I doubt you will see this yet alone read this but in the slight chance you do..I feel this would be very beneficial for the newbies like myself and a good refresher for everyone.
You are in the perfect place if you weren't you should be a teacher hell you are a teacher and good at it 👍
Wow, this was amazing! Thanks for this content!
i believe in your soil. i have my personal test going and buildasoil 3.0 is just CRUSHING it.....compared to 4 other brands of soil purchased.,.. @nd my 2nd best plant is in my soil witch is my own version of 3.0 like you have said so many times ..get your hands in the soil. just ordered montana grow..my bags of 3.0 do not list montana grow when did you start putting it in ?..love the way you tell it like it is USE WHAT YOU HAVE. thank you so very much for sharing the knowledge ...(klacamas coot ) rules,....
So how do I consume more silica if I bought a big big of this montana grow silica? Seems to be even more beneficial to us than our plants!
I have been using Agsil16 for a few years as a silica supplement, would my plants enjoy the Montana Grow more?
Can this be used as a top dressing? Pots already been made. Would like add this for the start of my grow
Yes. You could also just scratch it in to get it through the mulch layer
Awesome video, as usual. Keep up the great work.
I use mono silica in my garden wonderful stuff
Great show - Q.When using liquid silica (for plants) in a living soil should I be lowering the PH ? thanks in advance for any reply.
ferments lower the ph so i think they’ll balance out.
@@loganvaughan2810 Very interesting reply - many thanks
Great vid!
Is there a link to the Hugh Lovel article? Can't find a downloadable wersion. TY
He looks so proud. We are the future 🤘🏼
Was sold the b.a.s. Agsil 16H by my local grow shop for a silica supplement. Didn't quite understand how to use it. Nothing on the website mentions the fact that it spikes pH to over 9 at half the recommended dose. Did 2 watering's and a compost tea like that and the plants are now quite unhappy, losing the largest/lowest fan leaves to necrosis spots, and all leaf tips sharply pointing down. Hoping I can recover.
I use alot of diatomaceous earth for gnats and other bugs, my question is does this provide me enough silica? Or do I need more ? 🤔
Would like to see a product highlight video on the wetting agent by Growing Organic. Im curious about whether we can use it mixed in with other IPM like Doctor Zymes.
For My first grow I foliage sprayed in on. That was big mistake almost threw the “grrit” weed result away. It washed off With water. The buds were gravel hard. It Taste like nasty grit! Next I learned to add minute quantities to water and nutrient mixes to solidify the cell walls for a solid dense bud at cure time. I expect flushing was imperative to do well. It will make yer plant stress resistant I think. This is silica we speak of.
Wow great video ! Lots of Great Info!
Cool! Sold!! Send me a trash can full of that stuff.
Love the video! wanted to know your thoughts on AZOMITE?
Jeremy,
I have a couple bottles of silicium and Mammoth Silica 🦣 as well as an earthbox. Can I mix some water and silica and poor this down the tube for a watering? Will this be harmful to any beneficial insects and or the operation of the earthbox? Thank you for your time.
What up Jeremy thanks for all the videos! I’ve been messing around with my own amended coco and worm casting mix with different amounts of aeration and dry amendments.. was wondering if could I put diatomaceous earth into my mix and if so how much?
I run a similar grow, coco and dry amendments, and I always add DE to my mix, haven't had any issues from it. Unusually use a good few pumps of the sprayer nozzle
Doesn’t DE stop working when water hits it
@@chokeeartist when mixed in with the media, it's not being use as an ipm measure. It's for mineral fortification.
@@JeagerTv nice thanks for the info
@@chokeeartist DE works in OUR body when delivered in water and the "hollow" structure of the diatoms encapsulates toxins and they are then expelled from the body via standard discharge. As above, so below.
HEY JEREMY, CAN I GET ANY BENEFITS IF USING SILICON IN COCO COIR WITH HYDRO NUTRIENTS? IT SEEMS LIKE YOU COULD GET SOME BENEFITS.BUT IT ALSO SEEMS LIKE SOME OF IT WOULD WASH OUT ON A DRAIN TO WASTE STYLE GROW. I ALSO DO OUTDOOR THIS TIME OF YEAR (ORGANIC) AND I PLAN ON TRYING SOME OUT THIS SEASON.
Growing in Earth boxes. Already using your Light soil and
Craftblend. Any benefit adding Montana Silica to top dress?
Earth Box is a wicking container that simplifies watering and adding the silica to your living soil would give all the plant enhancements that Jeremy mentioned.
@@desertfarm5581 Thanks Dr Rain, I was asking since Silica is already in the Craftblend and Light soil, should I add more at some point in the grow as a top dress.
i am wondering if this would make a good amendment to a 100% perlite media passive hydroponic bucket system, like maybe a small handful of it in the bottom of the bucket under the perlite where there is a small reservoir of water and nutrient. The roots would have direct contact with the silica amendment.
I want to eat it for all those amazing benefits and I also want to feed my plants too . I got a jaboticaba it likes acidic soil around 5.5 to 6.5 would the Montana grow be okay ?
Love you guys
guess question is, you already add this to the dirt ,craft blend,is this enough or is there benefit to adding more?
Need to buy the fidy lb bag
I think there is a diminishing point of return and We loaded the soil and the craft blend with it. I hope this helps people understand why we added it in. I have a bag at home that I use for recycling soil or to experiment but usually I just stick with our soil and some craft blend
@@BuildASoil thank you for the honesty,I try and get a new product every week,and 100% from start of using the craft blend,my whole grow has changed,for the better each product I use comes with a different look of health,now what to do with this shelf of products that dont work as well?
Awesome, more free information, thank you!
Q: I'm trying to find the amount to amend to my 4x4 and 3x3. If I use the amounts on the application rates on the Montana Grow label it's ~11 cups and ~6 cups respectively. Is this correct? Also the label mentions to do this every 7-14 days. Would I also need to follow this timetable?
Yeah, I'm hung up on this too. seems like a ton of material to be top dressing. Wish they'd addressed it in the video. AgSil16 is only like 1tsp/gallon of water.
If your not sure just don't put as much in. You can always add more later.
Bro Jeremy could be a damn college professor Id be a every class 😂
I love this product so far, but I am trying to get a better idea of how much I should use. I mixed my own Super/living soil and I was wondering how much of the silica per gallon of psoil is recommended?
How much Montana silica should you use on a 5-10 gallon pot when it’s No till and how would you apply it, just top dress?
What’s your thoughts about using this Montana grow with your silica blue gold? Can I use them both or should I just do one? Also what is the difference? Greatly appreciate everything Jermey!
Smash that like button for Jeremy the least we can do, share with a friend and do more 😊
Jeremy moves like a Ninja 👐🏻
Ah. After snapping away half the universe, Thanos settles down as a cannabis grower.
