I hope to find a new video every day, and when I do, it’s a great day. If you were on PBS, you would win a easy EMMY Award! You are doing God’s work my friend.
Little advice about those freeman tests. Cross contamination is easily done. You need multiple sets of scissors use alcohol or something between cuts. If you get plant liquids transfered the results will be inconclusive. I use them regularly with that said, I think they are great.
I get so psyched when I see that Jeremy and the BAS crew dropped another video! Watching these videos and all the knowledge bombs Jeremy drops have helped my garden reach a new level. Thank you so much, you guys rock!
Something I didn't see you mention is the grassroots raised bed actually shows you where to cut on the beds. There should be dashes on one side for pvc measurements.
Chopping this weekend. 9weeks in total. Everything used was BAS products. I cannot express enough how smooth it was using BAS products!! Thanks Jeremy and the BAS FAM! You guys freakin rock
I like the 4x4 bed nice job explaining it👍🏻very detailed I have the same pvc cutters that your using boy do they make it a lot easier and faster than the hacksaw 👊👊👊💨💨💨💨🔥🔥🔥🔥👽
Pvc can bind up a bit when pushed into fittings. If you put a chamfer on the cut ends theyll come apart easier. File, sand paper, deburring tool if you have one, even a good scratch with a knife at a 90° angle will help
Thanks for all the great tips and tricks I really appreciate you Jeremy next time I'm in Colorado I'm going to have to give you a visit I'm over here in New Mexico we're opening up a micro business and it's been a great journey that's why I appreciate you so much thanks bro cheers and respect
I use farmer Freeman too, he’s great even called me personally to talk about an issue with the payment method i choose and everything worked out great! Results where fast and on point! I’ll definitely be using him again.
Love this recipe just as much as I love my 3rd cycle take n bake. People been praising my flowers, fruits and veggies. I cant even take credit I owe it all to BAS!
Glad to hear you’re trying the autos on different light schedules. I won’t pretend to understand the biology but I never get as good results with autos on 12-12, even if the DLI is the same as an 18-6 schedule. They just seem to get stressed from the high intensity. Edit: also glad you mentioned the smash card. I didn’t know that was an option. I’ve always been tentative to use farmer freeman because I don’t want to send actual plant matter through the mail.
Damn, I love this channel! Great knowledge, great presentation. Thank you Jeremy and everyone on the Build A Soil team. On my first organic grow and loving it. Also, great that you're running a separate tent for the auto flowers and the different light schedules.
Great video like always man, thanks for investing your time to save us some time. Also dig the shirt man, those guys over there at that shop are cool as hell!
Im glad i went with the 3x3 bed i bought a 4x8 gorilla grow tent and it is not 4ft it is only 46inches wide but the poles are only 44 to 45 inches apart i cant remember the exact wide i believe it was about 44 1/2 inches but could be off a lil thats why i said 44to 45 inches had to exchange my 4x4 tray i had already bought for a 3x3 tray but it works great
I love mixing soil i haven't used coots mix but i use craft blend worm casting and lava rock in my 4x4 and my 2x4 both temps got up to 104 i thought it was pretty cool i only had to wait a week to use boy ol boy my plants are starting to settle in and the race is on
Bless-up n thank you for doing what your doing. Thinking about going all out and instal beds. My Q is about what weight will the bed you just showd us end up as when the water goes in but no plants in yet ? Growers love from the EU 🤙💚
So awesome. Man I really wish you would have made that 4x4 a sub irrigation bed. I'm really curious to see how "you" would go about doing that. So many videos online but I think your way would be the best
Why wouldn’t you use Hugelkulture for indoors? I have a no til 4x8 raised bed and I have a bottom layer of split wood and dead branches off a tree. Thanks
I love your videos Bro! I'm about to switch to running all your products. I've been growing about 16 years. And have went organic before in the past. But got tired of mixing my own soil. But where you guys make these awesome mixes for me. I'm definitely gonna stock up on your stuff!
I'm feeding my young seedlings on day 4 with a half gallon mix of silica, fish hydrolosate, kelp, aloe, fulvic acid, cal mag, Bio Si select seed inoculant, and finally thermx-70. All mixed at proper strength for half gallon minus and extra 25% because they are young seedlings. My plants love it so far
Hey guys I've watched season one up until season 3 episode 7 and can not thank you enough for the information. What started me interested in living soil was the book "teaming with microbes". Have you heard of it? I am needing/wanting one straw revolution now because of y'all thanks again for doing what you do it's helped a ton
Picked up some worm castings from a nearby farm this week and also found some red worms in the bags. Now wondering if the worms are of any consideration when watering your beds; as well as in my case where growing indoors in pots?
If I did a 4x4 bed outside, how would this soil hold-up through a Chicago winter? I was thinking of trying some light deprivation and maybe creating a cover for the bed. Love the show and thanks in advance.
By the way I figure I’ll just let you know that it takes way too long for these segments to come I’ll be waiting for them and I need my buildasoil fix immediately LOL
Some people say that damaged leaves attract bugs and disease so taking them off is better. I know the Future Cannibis Project had a guest who said yellow attracts spider mites and other pests. He knows all about bug's life cycles and biology so I tend to believe him. His channel is called Zenthenol or something like that.
What of your products do you need from building the soil to hanging the product to count for anything you might need to add to it along the way I want to make sure that I have everything that I would need
It's commonly recommended to raise the pots up off the tent floor if you live in a colder region to keep the rootzone happy. Any recommendations for raising these beds up or do you find it less of an issue with the greater soil volume? I live on the east coast so it's chilly 75% of the year here.
I got craft blend, build a flower, and Kashi blend. Anything I'm missing? Like worms, microbes, etc. I don't have any rootwise or stuff like that and I feel likeim missing the microbes
Hey Jeremy. I remember the old GrassCity days with that thread by Pakalolo and Coot and I think BlueMountain. It's what got me into organics. I don't really expect an answer, but I'll take a shot in the dark: Do you know if the TOBC2 seeds from Mountain Organics are actually the offspring of TO from Coot? I would love to get my hands on some of the genetics but it's super hard when it's a lot of who you know. Thanks for any answer. Keep up the videos, super fun to have on while I'm working.
You could order from Build a Soil, but shipping is expensive, especially on the heavy freight stuff. I recommend you look into Black Swallow Soil. They are who Build a Soil would recommend for Canadians. I live in Canada and buy from Black Swallow. They are based out of Brantford, Ontario. Probably not the answer you were looking for. Lol. Or try and find a local supplier if you live far from Black Swallow.
Hi, I recently saw some people raising concern over heavy metal content of many dry ammendments on the market. What is buildasoil doing to address this issue? I'm not accusing anyone of anything. Just a curious customer and a person who cares about what I consume.
Pretty sure he has mentioned that Buildasoil tests all of the materials they use for heavy metals etc. I believe you can ask them for the sheets on any of their products if you want to get to that level of detail, I thought they had them attached on the site someplace but I didn't see them on a quick look. Either way BAS is looking out for these kind of issues and will not use anything not up to their standards. Definitely contact them if you have any specific concerns but in general you can rest easy with anything that comes in BAS packaging.
I love the grassroots living soil bags - they are gold. I’ve really wanted to get a bed since I started but one thing that held me back was air. Air is important. In my 3x3, I’m using a 65gal (33 inch diameter) instead of a 3x3 bed. Plenty of room in the corners of the tent for fresh air especially when the negative pressure inside squeezes the tent around the bag. This is just an issue for nano-grows like mine :) Thanks for pointing out the sex-testing. $10/plant is worth it in some cases. Glad it’s available. What about taking clones off of seedlings and putting them under 12hrs of darkness or more? Any special considerations with this? I’ve heard the seedlings need to be a month old before…I’m a bit confused about this technique.
Question let a say that take clones that have been sexed and has the pistils just one or two not like in flower state but my question is can a clone that’s in veg state that has a cpl hairs on it get pollinated and say I flip to weeks later could it still produce seeds
Dear BAS team, if my plants grow with poor branching yet still vigorously, is this from over watering? Also a very exciting, even if bad(learning opportunity babay!! Lol) thing I noticed are the set or pair of axials or branches are not even in length.. both are same in terms of maturity but in length one in each pair all the way up the plant is 1/3 that of its sister branch. What might cause this and is it worth seeing what happens or Sparta the week in each pair which would make my plants resemble a spiral stair case?
Is it possible the seedling fail was due, in part, to the “BB” inoculation? Could BB require a specific environment in order to be effective? Can BB microbes out compete the other ”endo” microbes present in plant tissue? Or Vice versa creating an unhealthy balance? 🙏🔑✌️
ua-cam.com/video/twnDiMH_Mqs/v-deo.html More info on the bokashi from the man himself. You can also check the Growing Organic site for making your own etc.
Depends on the brand of tent. You would need to contact the tent maker to see what the dimensions are inside the poles of the tent, opposed to the actually tent measurement. But It should fit inside Most good tent brands. An example is if the tent is 48" x 48" and the poles are 1" thick then the area you are left with is 46" x 46" (48" minus two 1" poles). But I personally would recommend you get a 3x3 bed in a 4x4 tent or a 4x4 bed in a 5x5 tent.
I hope to find a new video every day, and when I do, it’s a great day. If you were on PBS, you would win a easy EMMY Award! You are doing God’s work my friend.
Great Teacher
Authentic passion
Positive energy
Thanks for making this knowledge easily accessible. Big up BAS!!
Love using Farmer Freeman for my regular beans
A tent dedicated to autos is great! Thanks. I'm waiting to grow along with Night Owl genetics.
Big UP like 👍 thanks for the force la puissance 🔥😇🕊️💚✌️💪🌅🐓
Little advice about those freeman tests. Cross contamination is easily done. You need multiple sets of scissors use alcohol or something between cuts. If you get plant liquids transfered the results will be inconclusive. I use them regularly with that said, I think they are great.
i was litterally about to order the testing thank you for mentioning this. have an amazing day and i hope you have bountiful harvest✌
I get so psyched when I see that Jeremy and the BAS crew dropped another video! Watching these videos and all the knowledge bombs Jeremy drops have helped my garden reach a new level. Thank you so much, you guys rock!
Very thanks for all my friends 🤙🤙 really appreciated✌️
I'm getting pretty jazzed for this season .
Can't wait to see how these autos turn out
Something I didn't see you mention is the grassroots raised bed actually shows you where to cut on the beds. There should be dashes on one side for pvc measurements.
This right here. On the inside of the bed there are marks where you line your pvc pipe up to and cut. +1 to this comment @builasoil
Yup theres usually little marks
Starting a NightOwl earth box to follow along!
✌🏻❤️
Chopping this weekend. 9weeks in total. Everything used was BAS products. I cannot express enough how smooth it was using BAS products!! Thanks Jeremy and the BAS FAM! You guys freakin rock
My tap water is 8.7ph that’s my only worry. Just curious what’s your ph?
I like the 4x4 bed nice job explaining it👍🏻very detailed I have the same pvc cutters that your using boy do they make it a lot easier and faster than the hacksaw 👊👊👊💨💨💨💨🔥🔥🔥🔥👽
Absolutely amazing! U guys rock !!thank soo much and much love from Brazil💨 💚💨💚
Always excited to see a new BuildASoil video! Thanks
Pvc can bind up a bit when pushed into fittings. If you put a chamfer on the cut ends theyll come apart easier. File, sand paper, deburring tool if you have one, even a good scratch with a knife at a 90° angle will help
Thank you so much for doing these videos 👌
jeremys beard beasting out like his 🌱
Can't wait Jeremy. Thank you as always dude ❤
Thank you so much for doing these series!
Thanks for all the wonderful content!
Thanks for all the great tips and tricks I really appreciate you Jeremy next time I'm in Colorado I'm going to have to give you a visit I'm over here in New Mexico we're opening up a micro business and it's been a great journey that's why I appreciate you so much thanks bro cheers and respect
Cheers
Awesome!! Love the series, always something to learn. Thanks Jermey and the amazing team at Build A Soil
I use farmer Freeman too, he’s great even called me personally to talk about an issue with the payment method i choose and everything worked out great! Results where fast and on point! I’ll definitely be using him again.
Love this recipe just as much as I love my 3rd cycle take n bake. People been praising my flowers, fruits and veggies. I cant even take credit I owe it all to BAS!
Great information man thanks!
this has become the show i like to watch the most... and finding love on the spectrum - pure genuine stuff
Thank you!!
Glad to hear you’re trying the autos on different light schedules. I won’t pretend to understand the biology but I never get as good results with autos on 12-12, even if the DLI is the same as an 18-6 schedule. They just seem to get stressed from the high intensity.

Always great thanks🔥🍀🔥🌲🔥🌴
Damn, I love this channel! Great knowledge, great presentation. Thank you Jeremy and everyone on the Build A Soil team. On my first organic grow and loving it. Also, great that you're running a separate tent for the auto flowers and the different light schedules.
I see acInfinity. Love those tents... ✊👊
Thanks for fast response to my email! You guys are the best!!!!
Great video and info as always. Thank u Jeremy. I always layer hydroton on bottom of all my pots or beds. Love this method.
Your channel is super informative, thanks for the knowledge!
Totally stoked for this season!
Great video like always man, thanks for investing your time to save us some time. Also dig the shirt man, those guys over there at that shop are cool as hell!
Love the shirt!! I’m obsessed with the content as well.
I would love a FAQ on keeping clones! How to maintain them while your current grow switches to 12/12. Much love as always!!
I would love for you to get more into detail about your home grow!
My dude just got done at the Pebble beach tourny!!!
Great products and great information
Love it,can’t wait for this season to kick off 🏴💚👍🏽
Watching this episode while putting together my 4x4 bed now. 😂
Good stuff cheers bro
Beautiful plants man
Jeremy, We'd love a similar guide on composting. Really appreciate the content, friend.
+1 for a composting episode!
I’ve started sending in the Cotyledon instead of a leaf tip. Works just as well
Im glad i went with the 3x3 bed i bought a 4x8 gorilla grow tent and it is not 4ft it is only 46inches wide but the poles are only 44 to 45 inches apart i cant remember the exact wide i believe it was about 44 1/2 inches but could be off a lil thats why i said 44to 45 inches had to exchange my 4x4 tray i had already bought for a 3x3 tray but it works great
Ayyyyyy hello from Toledo (noticed your shirt)
I love mixing soil i haven't used coots mix but i use craft blend worm casting and lava rock in my 4x4 and my 2x4 both temps got up to 104 i thought it was pretty cool i only had to wait a week to use boy ol boy my plants are starting to settle in and the race is on

😏💡🌱🔥💨 Jeremy!......
How do you send out your test out to farmer freeman test kits? In a envolope through regular Postage
Really anxious for the grow to get started bru
Why wouldn’t you use Hugelkulture for indoors? I have a no til 4x8 raised bed and I have a bottom layer of split wood and dead branches off a tree. Thanks
I love your videos Bro! I'm about to switch to running all your products. I've been growing about 16 years. And have went organic before in the past. But got tired of mixing my own soil. But where you guys make these awesome mixes for me. I'm definitely gonna stock up on your stuff!

Can the gene test spot genetic anomalies such as hermaphrodites? great ep once again btw
Unfortunately, no..
I may have missed Jeremy saying, but how many days old are those seedlings?
Picked up some worm castings from a nearby farm this week and also found some red worms in the bags. Now wondering if the worms are of any consideration when watering your beds; as well as in my case where growing indoors in pots?

Where can I get rootwise seeds? Do they sell them?
🤣🤣😂😂 that happened to me. Now I take a picture. Wait until they flower then delete the picture
👍
Make a faq playlist please
I swear by farmer Freeman
By the way I figure I’ll just let you know that it takes way too long for these segments to come I’ll be waiting for them and I need my buildasoil fix immediately LOL
💚💚💚
FAQ question: trim off damaged leaves or let them hang until they fall off?
Trim any leafs that are 70% damaged so the plant doesn't waste energy trying to fix it
Some people say that damaged leaves attract bugs and disease so taking them off is better. I know the Future Cannibis Project had a guest who said yellow attracts spider mites and other pests. He knows all about bug's life cycles and biology so I tend to believe him. His channel is called Zenthenol or something like that.
When talking about just giving the plants water is there any Pacific pH level or can you just use hose water
What of your products do you need from building the soil to hanging the product to count for anything you might need to add to it along the way I want to make sure that I have everything that I would need
It's commonly recommended to raise the pots up off the tent floor if you live in a colder region to keep the rootzone happy. Any recommendations for raising these beds up or do you find it less of an issue with the greater soil volume? I live on the east coast so it's chilly 75% of the year here.
how much soil to fill the 3x3 and leave room for overcrop, etc.?
I got craft blend, build a flower, and Kashi blend. Anything I'm missing? Like worms, microbes, etc. I don't have any rootwise or stuff like that and I feel likeim missing the microbes
Get those worms. Hit up Uncle Jims! If you can't afford Rootwise hit up Happy Tree Microbes. Do some compost teas and make it work.
Hey Jeremy. I remember the old GrassCity days with that thread by Pakalolo and Coot and I think BlueMountain. It's what got me into organics. I don't really expect an answer, but I'll take a shot in the dark: Do you know if the TOBC2 seeds from Mountain Organics are actually the offspring of TO from Coot?

Is there craft blend in Canada?

What about taking clones off of seedlings and putting them under 12hrs of darkness or more?
Any special considerations with this? I’ve heard the seedlings need to be a month old before…I’m a bit confused about this technique.
What is the main source of phosphorous in the Coot's mix?
Do you have any experience with Horizon soil systems? they seem interesting from a longevity standpoint, pretty in line with BAS values
Also Jermo, I was wondering how much soil one of the 4x8 beds can hold? Cause I'm gonna get one of those when I make my order here soon.
What do you think about using 2cf pumice, 2 cf vermiculite, 2 cf rice hulls instead of 4/2 pumice hulls
Cutting that pvc you should hit it up with sand paper or rough it up some cement or it can damage your bed
Would it really be worth making 3x3 or a4x4bed for a small tent
How deep is the 4x4?? THCanks , Martin
18 inches
Question let a say that take clones that have been sexed and has the pistils just one or two not like in flower state but my question is can a clone that’s in veg state that has a cpl hairs on it get pollinated and say I flip to weeks later could it still produce seeds
I would prefer you grow that clone out, put it in flower and pollinate around week 4 or 5.

How does Kashi, which I assume is mostly or 100 percent anaerobic bacteria help an oxygen rich loose soil

Another great series coming. I haven't went with the DNA sex testing yet but definitely see it's value in time and electricity alone. ✌
So a 4x4 bed fits in a 4x4 tent?

Karl thanks for the response I really appreciate the additional tips and info 🙏🏻
@@zachw4829 No worries. Happy growing.
How much soil did you use to fill that 4x4 bed?
Previous episode showed the soil building. ua-cam.com/video/YwOhQQTZIlk/v-deo.html
18cubic feet.
