He made so many mistakes in his videos but still broke down the nutrients and ph n all that way better then other growers who make videos all professional . Honestly made the nutrients and ph info way much more easier to u fer stand I was king of stressing . Thx
I have never concerned myself with ph anymore than chunkin some lime if my soil is a bit acidic. You indoor guys are a special bunch, always so attentive to detail and super scientific. I enjoy learning and this stuff is super interesting. 👌
You have to really pay attention to every little detail indoors. The lighting and environment make growth a lot different so we have to adjust these to see good growth.
@ashetonbiggerstaff5106 nature made micro organisms and beneficial bacteria and all I have to do is make sure they are happy and wet. 🤣 outdoor is superior in my opinion so I would never grow inside unless I absolutely had to
@@mrcrunchtime oh I agree. I utilize KNF in my outdoor vegetable gardens unfortunately I have to be a little more secretive with another plant so I grow it indoors. Organic is good indoors just slower but with better quality. For me I enjoy the “lab” type setting of growing indoors. It’s more of a science project so there’s a lot to learn.
The only reason for dry is if you are growing in soil dry between water encourages the roots to hunt for the water and grow. There are more effective ways. Drying between also kills off some potential for root rot since the fungus cannot thrive in dry conditions.
amazing video actually the first video ive found that actually goes in depth into your personal feeding schedule to give your personal examples not just “this stuff and this stuff is good use it jeje good luck”
As the bottle dropped and I wiped my eyes from tears of laughter, it is then I knew, you’re a cool dude. The kind of guy I’d chill and have a session wit.
GH Cal-Mag bottle directions say 1ml per liter (1 teaspoon per gallon) - pause at 5:44. Follow your own advice and 'always read your nutes instructions carefully'
CannaBeard Grows totally understandable. Hope my comment didn’t come across too harsh- had to check my own bottle to make sure lol. Appreciate all you do- cheers!
Not all pot head are clumsy... I get baked and work on Rolls Royce aircraft engine's. I find I work better high and have a better understanding of how everything works. Don't put everyone in this guy's league, He's dopey af!
Cross contamination of Nute bottles is something that will confuse you because you can't figure out why your Medicine has issues. I also recommend stirring your nutes thoroughly between each addition.
I cant believe people are still growing plants like this, it destroys the surrounding environment when scaled up and even isn't great on a small scale, not to mention its way more complicated than it needs to be.take care of your soil and the plant will do the rest.
You never checked the PPM you were feeding to the plant. Also when you are growing in soil, it ph balances all by itself. just keep your range between 5.0 and 7.0 and you will be fine.
that was my question of sorts.. i was givin a grow tent but it came with a ton of hydro nutrients. im assuming i can use them with dirt but im not sure at what ratio to use them.
I completely agree!!!. I lower my water down to 5 when I water. An hour later when I measure the soil PH I get 6.5 The next day I get 7. Soil with all the limestone and other rock solids that are alkaline, bring the PH up so you really don't have to balance. This video is full of mistakes and errors. I am sure any kind of nutes burn, does not go on the video. Man that is too many nutes in these plants that later you will be smoking. No way!!!
@green leaves 95 the ph will go down as medium breaks down during flowering so bring up a point. Yellowing is ok(caused by over-nuting early in flower) they will fill out the last 3 weeks but you will figure it out by the time you get this.
Question??? So I use fox farm soil and the soil is PH @ 6.5. My nutrients I use are advanced nutrients. Should I add nutrients in the feed right when I transplant to new soil? I’ve had some sort of deficiency or lockout. What do you recommend? Please help
Ernest - so I use fox farm as well. I do NOT use nutrients when I have a newly planted seedlings or when I replant. Foxfarm is hot and adding more will burn your plants. I PH my water and just water them. I did burn them slightly once and learned my lesson. You can’t go wrong with just good ph balanced water and good lighting. Do that than ease into your nutrients. And when you do only do half what the directions say to give it a good transition.
I thought your explanation regarding the importance of pH was brilliant. Great graphic showing the pH uptake requirements, too. This has really helped.

@@Des420 I did DWC for years, it costs more, wastes more, takes more work, uses more chemicals, and tastes worse than soil. Also, you can get even better results if you put the time in to researching your mix and building your soil up with the things it gets in nature. This is an argument as old as hydro itself but most high-end growers I know have settled on soil.
@@djstocks Nothing you said is true. Salt based elements are cheaper, hydro takes less work, uses no chemicals at all, grows faster in less time, produces more and is at least the same quality as soil, likely better. If you put the time in reading actual lab results you'd know that you are wrong on all accounts. You chose soil and now you must justify that choice at every attempt by making outrageous, grandiose claims about how incredible it is; it's so superior because YOU grow in soil? Laughable! Huge ego with nothing to back it up with except your word of mouth crap. Show me some study related papers that prove soil is better in any way; you can't because it's not. "Most high end growers I know" - Personal anecdotes. Pull your head out of your dirt and learn the facts before you spout garbage. DWC is provably better in every measure of growth and is at least as good an end result as soil... Only it produces more of it for less work and money.
@@Des420I don't have time to argue with you but I will say this before I go. I water once a day with water and that's it. My natural amendments like crab shell and sea kelp do all the work. You scrub tanks and change the water and add chemicals, yes they are chemicals. I work with the natural way bacteria and fungus evolved to work in tandem with the roots. You can't replicate that with salts. The taste is way better, anyone that has smoked natural outdoor weed from CA can tell you that. My super soil is no-till and good forever.

where were you 10 years ago when I was looking for this information? lol Like you, I've had great success with the very products you are featuring. And it seems like we learned a lot of the same lessons. Good job bro. Oh, and your air stone introducing air into your water will temporarily lower your ph.
I've been useing 50/50 blend of happy frog and ocean forest. I typically don't need to feed anything until about week 6 of veg except for silicate and occasional cal-mag. In flower i feed 1 time a week with tiger bloom open sesame weeks 1-3 then tiger bloom Beastie bloom weeks 4-6 weeks 7-8 tiger bloom and cha ching.leach the soil the final weeks. Also I feed silicate armor SI and unsulfred molasses all the way from week 3 of veg through week 8 of flower. I've been using this mix extensively for 9 years now.
I thought the flora blend says to add last on the bottle? I’m using general Hydroponics Flora Series and trying to figure out the correct mixing order. Can’t find much on the order. I just been going off wht it says on the bottle.
Micro (red) is always first, and you must shake it good, before you add anything else to it, due to metallic particles in the nutes, if you don't shake it, then different metals will start clumping together and your not getting all the available nutrients...
Is there any noticable difference aerating the water vs not when mixing nutes? I like the idea and if it's beneficial I'm going to get a pump and a stone.
@@CannaBeardGrows nice! Thanks man definitely gonna add this to my routine of mixing nutes.. oh and i also use general hydroponics as well. I've never used anything else so can't compare have you used others in the past?
Not my soil my mix made a day or 2 ahead of time. The pH is always way high if I mix it to soon. So I make it the morning of watering. With water that has been bubbling for 2 days
I havnt checked the ph of my plants or soil in years, but my soil is so alive and teeming with living microorganisms they actually are the ones that eat it to break it down to a useable form(mineralized). Then the you will be able to transform food or paper wastes into black gold
The half way mark on that spoon is much higher than it seems. You’re better off measuring by grams or doing a full spoon each 1/2 and a 1/4 if you’re trying to stay just under the recommended.
Love your tutorial! I’m new at all this. I see your using 2 gallons. I understand one is for your growing babies and another for your blooming babies. My question is, how long will that gallon last? Is that for one feeding that week. Or do you save the left over for later that week? Might be a dumb question, as I’m thinking if it’s not used same day, single day use, the ph will possibly change.
If I make a batch and let it sit, the ph and EC goes up. This is my biggest issue with growing in coco, is figuring out the right solutions and not waste a ton of water.
I subbed cause I used to put less than the instructions on the bottles and like you I don't pretend to be an expert or the best but I even back then I gave fast short lessons to horticulture college graduates (without going in details or long explanation like the PH etc...since I guess they know the basics and much more) I flushed 7 to 10 days in hydro and I discovered drying some little buds in microwave 2 weeks before harvest some might spark and ignite on 1 min.low and 1 off cycles from phosphorus or potassium I guess, Organic feed outdoor never did that!
An EC meter would be the next level allowing you to know the total feed amount. And if you choose to measure and employ a 20% runoff method during feeding you could monitor the accumulated soil salts to avoid nutrient lockout and potential under or overfeeding by checking the EC of the runoff. This coupled with controlled heat and humidity for the proper range of VPD/Transpiration rate of a given growth stage and controlled CO2 supplementation rounds out the big picture. You are in the land of happiness.
I’ve been learning about growing for about 3 days.... your video help a lot to understand why we have to do it and how to get the water ph where we need it...... thanks
The best thing to do for the PH would be to take a soil sample from the grow pot and mix it with water then measure the PH. it's the PH of the soil/water mixture that is important not just that of the water. Remember that this is a chemical reaction taking place in the soil.
I noticed you added the PH Up to the water before you finished adding the Nutrients. Then you didn't check the PH after adding the Grow and Bloom. Shouldn't you have checked the PH after you had everything in the water ? Also I just got my PH Pen in the mail. How do I calibrate it ? It's one of those cheap $20 Dollar PH pens I found on Ebay.
@@jason__337 That's actually incorrect. You're supposed to add anything that raises pH to the water first, or you can cause lockout with some elements, due to super high pH levels around the drops of pH up you are adding. There is a complicated equation to figure out how much to add... But I prefer the easier method; if you normally add 1ml of pH up at the end of mixing, simply add that total at the beginning. It works out to the same.
General Hydroponics has a "Feed Chart Generator" you can refer to for each week of growth. I'll bet you are using a syringe for the nutes by now those pipettes are a pain in the ass. Nice vid.
@@CannaBeardGrows wanna save even more time(and money), do some research into soil building and the soil food web and korean natural farming techniques, there are plenty of ways to have a thriving living soil that mimics the disease and pest resistance using stuff you cab definaly get for free around here.mother nature got it right thousands of years ago
Always searching to find better ways of feeding my plants, I ended up here. Let us share our knowledge, I'll start, you contribute/correct me. My teacher used General Hydroponics so that's what I use still, after 30 years. The Flora trio; Flora Micro, Flora Bloom, Flora Grow is the core of my nutes. The following recipes are for full strength feeding - grow or bloom. 1 bloom, 2 micro, 3 grow (for full strength vegetative.) 1 grow, 2 micro, 3 bloom tsp. per gal. (full strength for bloom.) Both come out to about 1000ppm by themselves in R/O water of 10ppm. To these basics I add about 1/2 tsp (2 1/2 mil.) per gallon of Cal/Mag, a few drops of Sea-Com ( $30 for one pint, ((expensive)) last a lifetime). Sea-Com is a kelp extract added for trace minerals. 1 tsp UN-sulfured molasses - again for trace minerals and for some sugar. Also add a little Recharge - $50 for one pound (last a lifetime). The Recharge is to add mycorrhizal fungi to the mix. Also add 1/2 tsp per gallon of Armor-Si (silica) 0-0-4 , to beef up Potash. That's it. The resulting mix comes out to about 1300ppm (again, this is full strength we're talking). I've heard 1400 is about the max one should use as full strength feeding, grow or bloom - seek to be corrected if this is wrong. The Sea-Com, molasses and Flora Micro are added for trace minerals, mainly. From experience I recommend the following; proper Ph, proper strength of solution and (important) proper solution/soil temperature. My grow room runs at about 77* and I keep my solution for DWC at 70* - cool water holds more dissolved oxygen and leads to healthier root system. OK, your turn with your brand of nutes. Thnx. addendum: Used to be municipal water supplies had chlorine added. Chlorine could be dispensed with by letting the water sit over night. I have learned that municipal water suppliers now use chloramine, a different type of chlorine. This type of chlorine does NOT dissipate with time. The only way to get it out of your water is to use reverse osmosis or distillation - sorry.
FB...do I even want to look for my password? It's not like we're doing something against God! Can't we just chat here? - seek the broader audience? I might be full of shit
This video is great, it help me a lot! thank you so much! I'm from Argentina so i have no problem with litre jajaja but i gotta do it with gallons, feets and that stuffs jajaja
Great video ...very useful ...very simplied ...get your water add the veg grow or bloom grow ...whatever stage your at then get the right ph 6 to 7 then feed the plants ....question ....how often do you feed them ....once a day or every second day
CannaBeard Grows I calibrated using the 4.0 buffer solution and 6.8 buffer. Got it dialed in. One of my nutrients was making it too acidic. But got it down now.
I prepare the fertilizer according to your recommendations and mix them in the same order, I do it in two gallon containers and therefore I have a question, after two days it becomes slightly cloudy, is this normal and will it not harm my plants?
subscribed for the cal/mag drop. As a noob I'd rather learn from someone who is thorough and isn't afraid of making mistakes. Honesty seems to be sacred these days.
Learn how to convert liters to gallons. 1 gallon is 3.7liters (might as well say its 4liters). Get a little scale for measuring dry nutrients. Aeration doesn't remove chlorine as fast as people think, even 24hrs of aeration only removes some of the chlorine. And it basically doesn't touch the chloramines. Wouldn't worry about chlorine or chloramines unless you're adding things like humic acid. In that case you can either start with RO water or add some vitamin c powder to the tap water to neutralize the chlorine and chloramines. (it doesn't take much but it does lower ph and slightly raise EC/PPMS.) I also have the exact same PH meter and you're super smart for getting the calibration solution. It's absolute garbage without it, and ends up being way off within a week. I ended up using the drops to compare my ph meter readings and realized it was off. So I just stick with the drops now. It's more time consuming but less expensive than buying a bluelab. Great little videos for beginners, so many people overlook mixing nutrients. It can be a little daunting at first.
All I can ask is why?? Nobody knows how many feet are in a mile or r what temperature is boiling in farenheit! I do know that 100C is boiling and there's a thousand meters in a kilometer.
Cus there is a large chunk of us Canadians at least from the late 70s thru 80s that were taught BOTH METRIC AND IMPERIAL in school and im a fishtank guy that's all imperial so alot of our generation gets confused ... also im a stoner...
Just so everyone knows general hydroponics is owned by Monsanto. No hate just a heads up so make people aware.Great video though a lot of really good info. Remember guys more weed less greed.🎄🎄🎄
I don’t understand why people think it’s a big deal. We’ve been genetically modifying plants and animals for thousands of years. But all of a sudden it’s a bad thing to help enable disease, and insect resistant plants to grow faster while producing higher yields?
genetically modifying is done by cutting a DNA molecule from one plant or animal and splicing it into the DNA chain of another plant or animal which changes its genetic instruction for natural development the reason they say plants are insect resistant is because with the modifications came the ability to spray crops multiple times with poisons like monsanto/bayer glyphosate or round up won't kill the plants just what ever eats it
How much nutrients do you put in a gallon of tap water cuz you have to count for the tap water as well right so what I want to know is how much floramicro and how much of florabloom and how much cal mag in ocean forest soil question do you add small doses?
be honest you want 6.66, thats the perfect Q point in life on everything. RMS in electricity, PH in water. isn't that funny. Aleister Crowley would see that as Magick
man im laughing from start to end man you are a cool dude oviously you make me laugh over and over so many mistakes but in general you are on.keep doing that be good

Trust me, underwatering is damn near harmless. Overwatering is a nightmare. So make sure its dry and slightly drooping before you water.
The only reason for dry is if you are growing in soil dry between water encourages the roots to hunt for the water and grow. There are more effective ways. Drying between also kills off some potential for root rot since the fungus cannot thrive in dry conditions.
That is the best advice I've ever heard, straight,,, to the point, and true.
It can also kill your microbiology tho if you leave it dry to long and there's no way to get that back without a compost tea.
Correct, can add more, can't take back.
Always ph at the very end, after you add your fertilizer.

What is the thing bubbling in the pots? and What is it doing and why? Thanks
Just a fishtank air bubbler it helps aerated the water mix butes and air out chlorine etc
@@CannaBeardGrows Ah gotcha! Thank you!
Awesome video man! Thank you for taking the time to spread information.
Happy to help. Thats what this platform is for... knowlage and entertainment
Love ya work mate! Still my favourite grower , see ya in the next live homie ❤❤
Cheers mate
@@CannaBeardGrows no wukkas cob 😀
Thank you mr. Canna beard for the great information.
do you change the water when going from veg to flowering and mix the two together half, half ?
7:52 this flora blend here?
I have no idea what it does, but they love it.
Haha that made me crack up
Is there any noticable difference aerating the water vs not when mixing nutes? I like the idea and if it's beneficial I'm going to get a pump and a stone.
Yes air helps precipitate out the chlorine and helps co2 the water
@@CannaBeardGrows nice! Thanks man definitely gonna add this to my routine of mixing nutes.. oh and i also use general hydroponics as well. I've never used anything else so can't compare have you used others in the past?
I dont use genhydro anymore. Iv been using #emeraldharvest and loving it
Besides using root booster , use organic kelp. You'll get massive rooting. I even use it in cloning. And use half the recommended dose.
Thanks for the help CannaBeard Grows!!!!!!!
Do you ever check your pH a day or 2 later and it's 2 point higher then when you made it?
I dont check my soil. I just make sure the waters going in are all about 6.4 ish
Not my soil my mix made a day or 2 ahead of time. The pH is always way high if I mix it to soon. So I make it the morning of watering. With water that has been bubbling for 2 days
@@detroitvapes4202 pH rise in a res usually indicates anaerobic growth. Are you keeping the mix aerated while it sits?
I havnt checked the ph of my plants or soil in years, but my soil is so alive and teeming with living microorganisms they actually are the ones that eat it to break it down to a useable form(mineralized). Then the you will be able to transform food or paper wastes into black gold
Man i can't enough of yo video.I got maxi series now
This video is amazing for learning about ph and how to use nutrients in general, cheers
Cheers
what's your thought on a organic fertilizer that has a NPK of 4-4-4 . and can one use it for vegetation stage .
I havent played with organics yet. I have some. Maybe next grow
The half way mark on that spoon is much higher than it seems. You’re better off measuring by grams or doing a full spoon each 1/2 and a 1/4 if you’re trying to stay just under the recommended.
New to this could I use bottled water to not use the air pump🤔
U could but bottled where has been filtered of most if not all trace minerals and would be insanely expensive to feed plants that way
Love your tutorial! I’m new at all this. I see your using 2 gallons. I understand one is for your growing babies and another for your blooming babies. My question is, how long will that gallon last? Is that for one feeding that week. Or do you save the left over for later that week? Might be a dumb question, as I’m thinking if it’s not used same day, single day use, the ph will possibly change.
If I make a batch and let it sit, the ph and EC goes up. This is my biggest issue with growing in coco, is figuring out the right solutions and not waste a ton of water.
I subbed cause I used to put less than the instructions on the bottles and like you I don't pretend to be an expert or the best but I even back then I gave fast short lessons to horticulture college graduates (without going in details or long explanation like the PH etc...since I guess they know the basics and much more) I flushed 7 to 10 days in hydro and I discovered drying some little buds in microwave 2 weeks before harvest some might spark and ignite on 1 min.low and 1 off cycles from phosphorus or potassium I guess, Organic feed outdoor never did that!
An EC meter would be the next level allowing you to know the total feed amount. And if you choose to measure and employ a 20% runoff method during feeding you could monitor the accumulated soil salts to avoid nutrient lockout and potential under or overfeeding by checking the EC of the runoff. This coupled with controlled heat and humidity for the proper range of VPD/Transpiration rate of a given growth stage and controlled CO2 supplementation rounds out the big picture. You are in the land of happiness.
I'm growing in soil using a Feed,Water,Water, Water,Feed schedule after 4 weeks. Should my watering days be 0ppm?
hi. if you can tell me what should be EC levels week by week for vegetation and flowering stage ,thanks
I’ve been learning about growing for about 3 days.... your video help a lot to understand why we have to do it and how to get the water ph where we need it...... thanks
Very welcome
Hey brother great info but I think you mixed the veg feeding with the flowering feeding
Thanks for your video my plants are growing I say it's one of the best videos to learn how to make Ph water n nutrition and I watched alot videos (Y)
Happy to have helped
The best thing to do for the PH would be to take a soil sample from the grow pot and mix it with water then measure the PH. it's the PH of the soil/water mixture that is important not just that of the water. Remember that this is a chemical reaction taking place in the soil.
True why you need those ppm meter for the soil
Do I need to have the pump thing Ute using and what’s it do? Man I can’t wait to get a grasp on this .
I been feeding 5x with the same calmeg... No issues but I think I'll file it back just a little 😅
I like this guy. Great video ✊🏾
I noticed you added the PH Up to the water before you finished adding the Nutrients. Then you didn't check the PH after adding the Grow and Bloom. Shouldn't you have checked the PH after you had everything in the water ? Also I just got my PH Pen in the mail. How do I calibrate it ? It's one of those cheap $20 Dollar PH pens I found on Ebay.
You're exactly right pH last no matter what
@@jason__337 That's actually incorrect. You're supposed to add anything that raises pH to the water first, or you can cause lockout with some elements, due to super high pH levels around the drops of pH up you are adding. There is a complicated equation to figure out how much to add... But I prefer the easier method; if you normally add 1ml of pH up at the end of mixing, simply add that total at the beginning. It works out to the same.
This was my first video, introduction to you and it helped a lot for my feeding. Also lol I hope I win the mars
This was extremely helpful. Thank you!
Welcome
Great, thanks for all that, just starting out with indoor grows. Very successful outside.
Good luck. Let me know how u do
The way i start......bääämm😂😂😂
I can't stop laughing, sry dude.
I love it 😁🤙🏻
New grower here appreciate the videos brother 💪🏾
Ile be checking it out tonight gotta look out for each other 👍🏽😎
General Hydroponics has a "Feed Chart Generator" you can refer to for each week of growth. I'll bet you are using a syringe for the nutes by now those pipettes are a pain in the ass. Nice vid.
Ya i got a syringe/plunger deal now. That pipette was fine when i have 1 tent. Now with 3 running it qas takin too long
@@CannaBeardGrows wanna save even more time(and money), do some research into soil building and the soil food web and korean natural farming techniques, there are plenty of ways to have a thriving living soil that mimics the disease and pest resistance using stuff you cab definaly get for free around here.mother nature got it right thousands of years ago
This is an OLD vid I'm growing organic outdoor now. And mineral baced indoors I dont use gen hydro no more yo.
Yeah that's what I have been using and it's well worth it water proof best 110 dollars I've spent
Always searching to find better ways of feeding my plants, I ended up here. Let us share our knowledge, I'll start, you contribute/correct me. My teacher used General Hydroponics so that's what I use still, after 30 years. The Flora trio; Flora Micro, Flora Bloom, Flora Grow is the core of my nutes. The following recipes are for full strength feeding - grow or bloom. 1 bloom, 2 micro, 3 grow (for full strength vegetative.) 1 grow, 2 micro, 3 bloom tsp. per gal. (full strength for bloom.) Both come out to about 1000ppm by themselves in R/O water of 10ppm. To these basics I add about 1/2 tsp (2 1/2 mil.) per gallon of Cal/Mag, a few drops of Sea-Com ( $30 for one pint, ((expensive)) last a lifetime). Sea-Com is a kelp extract added for trace minerals. 1 tsp UN-sulfured molasses - again for trace minerals and for some sugar. Also add a little Recharge - $50 for one pound (last a lifetime). The Recharge is to add mycorrhizal fungi to the mix. Also add 1/2 tsp per gallon of Armor-Si (silica) 0-0-4 , to beef up Potash. That's it. The resulting mix comes out to about 1300ppm (again, this is full strength we're talking). I've heard 1400 is about the max one should use as full strength feeding, grow or bloom - seek to be corrected if this is wrong. The Sea-Com, molasses and Flora Micro are added for trace minerals, mainly. From experience I recommend the following; proper Ph, proper strength of solution and (important) proper solution/soil temperature. My grow room runs at about 77* and I keep my solution for DWC at 70* - cool water holds more dissolved oxygen and leads to healthier root system. OK, your turn with your brand of nutes. Thnx. addendum: Used to be municipal water supplies had chlorine added. Chlorine could be dispensed with by letting the water sit over night. I have learned that municipal water suppliers now use chloramine, a different type of chlorine. This type of chlorine does NOT dissipate with time. The only way to get it out of your water is to use reverse osmosis or distillation - sorry.
Hi, so glad you posted this response, it answered some big questions we had. But we have more ?s. Will you email/FB messenger so we can chat private
FB...do I even want to look for my password? It's not like we're doing something against God! Can't we just chat here? - seek the broader audience? I might be full of shit
Awesome info! Great for a beginner thanks!
You such a legend, subbed. Whoever did'nt like this video, please go play in traffic.
So only florablend and rapid start when they are babies ? Nothing else? Only those two ingredients ?
Back then yes thats all I used for that
This video is great, it help me a lot! thank you so much! I'm from Argentina so i have no problem with litre jajaja but i gotta do it with gallons, feets and that stuffs jajaja
Great video ...very useful ...very simplied ...get your water add the veg grow or bloom grow ...whatever stage your at then get the right ph 6 to 7 then feed the plants ....question ....how often do you feed them ....once a day or every second day
I normally feed as in feed nutes every other time I water 💧
My new PH meter just arrived! I was feeding at 3.2 PH wow wtfffff. My nuts are all wacky and now my PH up and down arrived.
Make sure you calabrate your en first. They are often way off when they arrive
CannaBeard Grows I calibrated using the 4.0 buffer solution and 6.8 buffer. Got it dialed in. One of my nutrients was making it too acidic. But got it down now.
I also made a similar mistake. At least u got it now mate 😎
Get a ph pen and up+down. Keep it at 6.5. BUT dropping to 6 or 5.9 is fine. Ph the water after adding nutrients obviously
I have a beard and i’m also from Canada, great vids i gave you a sub..
Hey Andrew 2 minutes for lookin so good...
2 minutes? Guess i got time to go for a rip then bud!
@@andrewmitchell8401 sparking one up in the penalty box is will get you kicked out of the game man. We need you out there don't do it.
Nice video. Thanks 4 the information
thanks for the useful information!
Very welcome
I prepare the fertilizer according to your recommendations and mix them in the same order, I do it in two gallon containers and therefore I have a question, after two days it becomes slightly cloudy, is this normal and will it not harm my plants?
You said it measure in liters, it said also 1 teaspoon per gallon. 1 teaspoon is 5ml (edit) you corrected it later on
This is the issue. I wish they all just used one or both. Not one or the other. It gets a bit confusing at times lol
I know.. And another funny thing is that they say 1ml /L (4ml/4L) or 1tablespoon /g. and 1 tablespoon is 5ml xD
subscribed for the cal/mag drop. As a noob I'd rather learn from someone who is thorough and isn't afraid of making mistakes. Honesty seems to be sacred these days.
Iv grown a ways since then but I still show the good with the bad
I'm dead 🤣 the table spoon is half a teaspoon. And the teaspoon has a tablespoon on the other side. Guy your silly.
What exactly does the fishtank bubbler do for it?
Helps add o2 and mix the water while precipitating out the chlorine
@@CannaBeardGrows good to know, much thanks my good sir 👍
Anytime
Dude I thought you were about to start rapping at the beginning
U should go back and watch my very first grow vid. I sorta do. It's awful tho gotta warn ya
HELLO SIR . HOW OFTEN DO YOU FEED YOUR PLANTS??
Learn how to convert liters to gallons. 1 gallon is 3.7liters (might as well say its 4liters). Get a little scale for measuring dry nutrients.
Aeration doesn't remove chlorine as fast as people think, even 24hrs of aeration only removes some of the chlorine. And it basically doesn't touch the chloramines.
Wouldn't worry about chlorine or chloramines unless you're adding things like humic acid. In that case you can either start with RO water or add some vitamin c powder to the tap water to neutralize the chlorine and chloramines. (it doesn't take much but it does lower ph and slightly raise EC/PPMS.)
I also have the exact same PH meter and you're super smart for getting the calibration solution. It's absolute garbage without it, and ends up being way off within a week. I ended up using the drops to compare my ph meter readings and realized it was off. So I just stick with the drops now. It's more time consuming but less expensive than buying a bluelab.
Great little videos for beginners, so many people overlook mixing nutrients. It can be a little daunting at first.
Very informative great vid man
"Why can't you make both?" because the USA was too dumb to convert to metric in 1980s like most others.
All I can ask is why?? Nobody knows how many feet are in a mile or r what temperature is boiling in farenheit! I do know that 100C is boiling and there's a thousand meters in a kilometer.
Cus there is a large chunk of us Canadians at least from the late 70s thru 80s that were taught BOTH METRIC AND IMPERIAL in school and im a fishtank guy that's all imperial so alot of our generation gets confused ... also im a stoner...
Cry a fucking river
Nice, the pH buffer explanation was perfect, that table made it all make sense haha, always corrected but never really understood why🙄
I also was a bit confused at first I tried to say it the way it makes sence to me
@@CannaBeardGrows everyday a schoolday dude🧐 works for me, keep up the good work
Just so everyone knows general hydroponics is owned by Monsanto. No hate just a heads up so make people aware.Great video though a lot of really good info. Remember guys more weed less greed.🎄🎄🎄
Monsato?is that bad ?sorry dont wanna sound dumb..
They are a shitty xompany genetically modifying foods. However thy only own genhydro. They didnt make the recipes
I don’t understand why people think it’s a big deal. We’ve been genetically modifying plants and animals for thousands of years. But all of a sudden it’s a bad thing to help enable disease, and insect resistant plants to grow faster while producing higher yields?
genetically modifying is done by cutting a DNA molecule from one plant or animal and splicing it into the DNA chain of another plant or animal which changes its genetic instruction for natural development the reason they say plants are insect resistant is because with the modifications came the ability to spray crops multiple times with poisons like monsanto/bayer glyphosate or round up won't kill the plants just what ever eats it
hiii bro .. wanna ask you how many days to refill nutrients in the water of hydroponic system
sorry i cant give u a good reply as i havent done much hydro im a soil guy
17.43 that "thing" is called decimals :)
The Tarantula Guru 17:43
How much nutrients do you put in a gallon of tap water cuz you have to count for the tap water as well right so what I want to know is how much floramicro and how much of florabloom and how much cal mag in ocean forest soil question do you add small doses?
be honest you want 6.66, thats the perfect Q point in life on everything. RMS in electricity, PH in water. isn't that funny. Aleister Crowley would see that as Magick
Yeah, that number is a hard sale sometimes
man im laughing from start to end man you are a cool dude oviously you make me laugh over and over so many mistakes but in general you are on.keep doing that be good
This was my first year of growing ... im much worse now lol 😆
You can tell your stoned bro, funny az
