You guys are KILLING my wallet. But I'm at fault for being addicted to buying everything on the BAS website lol. It feels amazing picking and choosing what ingredients to put into waterings or feedings. My plants and I LOVE Buildasoil!! Thank you team!
Waiting weekly to learn something new about soil, or fungi, or plant life from yall, and never have you disappointed! Thanks for all the sharing and caring lol
I've been using it about four years. I use a homemade super soil mix. I've only used it when I transplant one gals into whatever pot I use. I haven't had any pest problems since I've been using it. Not even gnats. I guess it works ok. When I researched before I bought it, there were only vids from China, and India . Just my two cents. it does the job!!
Just used it on my vegetables for my graduation thesis. It's important to remember that this is both a preventative and curative measure so you should spray it when your plants are young to inoculate them. Bio insecticides are generally slow so if you only spray when you see signs of an outbreak, the plants might still suffer some damage before the insecticide takes effect.
Right hand to God this is the only marketing campaign everyone enjoys the upside is you don’t have to sell it brother it sells itself when you teach us God bless you and your family and the buildasoil team And all of the rest of you folks watching!
Thanks for taking the time to do these product deep dives. There's a lot of products on your website that I have no idea what they are. The explanation of their possible benefits is very helpful.
As someone who has experience with its culturing, I am very curious to learn more about the source and why they propagate on bean (and what is meant by "bean")? Thanks for providing an accessible Beauveria source!
@@binkysteaver9880 Interesting. It's probably not related, but reminds me of Beauveria's tendency for endophytism in certain plants. I wonder how they subsist in plant tissues and sustain themselves.
Outstanding!!!! Love these product reviews. I have been wanting to try this product out for a while but was unsure exactly what it was used for. Thanks Jermey for breaking it down. Would this product harm any beneficial insect already present in the soil? I love all of your products and truly appreciate the content.
I use another manufacturer but in theory it can kill most beneficial insects but depends on the exact strain. I have rove beetles and have used this with it’s other fungal counterpart Metarhizium Anisopliae and my beetles are thriving. It’s also causes a 20% reduction in worms reproduction but very rarely mortality. Hope this helps
I am actually from beauvaria in Germany. And I can confirm: besides beer and bratwurst bassiana is here very important for the people to get into the jodel mood. "Yooo Hans, drop that sick bassiana!!!"
😮 no way...Haven't watched the video yet. I was Googling this yesterday. 😄👍👍. (Edit afterwards) OG Wiz, I could have saved so much time. Jeremy put out more information that I read in 2 hours, and made it more comprehendible. Buildasoil team is incredible. Thanks👍👍
I am a 1st time grower. Build a soil has given me most of my inspiration and information to grow organic. I have jumped into this grow with full confidence that my four 15 gallon pots with 3.0 soil is going to carry me to success. I am following the BAS schedual and am excited to see the final results.
Definitely getting some of this !!! I don’t have bugs in the garden due to frogs and an abundance of lady bugs but I do get clones from friends and this would be super beneficial to them.
Thank you Jeremy and the BAS crew for the new product review. I'm super excited to try it out. How long does it stay alive in the soil? It seems as if you reccomend to innoculate every new plant. If my soil never hits a dry period between runs and always stays moist and alive does the BB stay alive as well? Does it build up over time after inoculating many runs in a row, and therefore not need it to innoculate at a certain point? Thx again for all you do!
As always great content. Thank you for your education and inspiration 😎. Do you need to re apply the bb in a no till 3x3 when you start a new crop or will it remain in the soil at high enough concentration after harvesting?
Love the product highlights really gives me a good understanding of what therefore before during the episodes I was having to look up everything keep the knowledge flowing 💪🏻
Jeremy, do you use any kind of eyedrops? You always appear clear-eyed on camera, despite obviously using quite a bit of cannabis. Curious if you have a trusted product that works for you.
In europe we can not get the same strains i believe. Here i have only seen the product Botanigard. And they say it only works with 70%+RH for two days minimum. Do you know anything about this? But like you are going to do with the tomatoes i have seen it mostly used in propagation stage where we can keep humidity high. Anyways love the show and love seeing more of you :)
Can't wait to try this product out! Another one to add to my BAS closet of products. Seems like a great product. Hey Jeremy quick question. If the rootwise bio-catalyst is unopened is it still only good for 6 months? After purchase date? TIA
Great video! Question: this is going to most likely kill any beneficial insects 🐞 we have in there as well? I bet it would. This would be great for my outdoor though! One ounce an acre sounds def doable
Good question. I’m guessing the microbes are just going to see any and all bugs as a potential food source and go and ‘infect’ them whether they’re beneficial bugs or not. I’d love to know the true answer though
A question I have is: would I only have to apply this product once at the beginning stages, or would it be reapplied per transplant? Also which application would you use yourself in inoculating a pre existing diy living soil bed? Thanks a bunch for all the info. And products which I love to use.
sorry if this has been asked already. once the BB+ has been introduced to the plant, I understand that it stays with the plant its whole life. my question is, what about clones taken from those plants? will the BB+ stay and grow with all them clones their whole life as well?
Good stuff as always; much appreciated! I have a question about the Root Wise enzymes: Someone from another soil company claims RW enzymes reduce populations of nematodes based on his study using before/after test samples and a microscope. Are his observations valid or expected? Otherwise, is something else happening?
Good question! I don't know!!! Here would be my thought process. Enzymes are a big part of the natural process and as such the BuildASoil way. I usually shy away from loose correlation results from microscope warriors. Is there a white paper study on specific enzymes? I have used many enzyme products designed for killing and at copiously high levels and still found them to be less than eradicatory. So off hand, using a very small amount of soil based enzymes seems very safe even to nematodes. So many things produce enzymes. I'm not going to pretend to know it all, and one doesn't need to understand every nuance to get great results. I look for results I want in the plant not the scope. Rootwise Enzymes are made by a USA agriculture company from Indigenous Microorganisms (IMO) fed until they produce their natural compounds. Rootwise enzymes are used in ridiculously small amounts and should absolutely help with nutrient cycling which will cause a cascade of biological responses which I have observed to be helpful to plant growth and soil health. If you have more info I'm down to find out more, but I don't think this one is important.
Jeremy did a great job answering, but if you would like to talk Microbes, Enzymes, and Soil Biology I'm always available! Feel free to send me a message on Instagram and I'll even hop on a phone call if you'd like.
@@BuildASoil My thoughts exactly based on the quality of the company (RW) and it's purpose. I'm still curious about the reduced count of nematodes because it would be strange for him to make these statements publicly based on his success growing and the success of the business. As for papers, he commented to me that he doesn't put much faith in papers when the situation is instanced, as soil constantly changing. I don't agree, but whatever. Years' old pictures tell stories. Good stuff, and I appreciate your time! BTW, I use it regardless and have good results. Be well.
Hey man. found you from mrgrowit and been watching a lot of your vids since. I had a very bad first organics go just come to an end and ended up ordering a few bags of 3.0 with craft blend and barley straw. I had a few questions if you don't mind answering. My questions are a few. 1. I cleaned up some oyster shells and turned them into fine rocks, I'm thinking of adding it to the bottom of my living bag about 1-2 in mixed with some lava rocks. will that extra calcium interfere with any of the things added in 3.0 such as ph? 2. I will be running in 7 gallon living bags with 3.0. Will the soil be enough to get me through veg then toping with craft blend be enough for flower? I'd obviously be doing some compost tea every so often and watering with just rain water and molasses (I'd like to add that I also will throw about 10 red worms in there and be using your coconut water every other watering) 3. I'm using barley straw but I also raise my own meal worms. Can I top the straw with the leftover brim or should I water in the brim? Thanks if you end up seeing this. I've learned more this week about soil from your videos then the entire 6 months of my failed grow. I almost gave up and went back to bottles.
I speculate there is a reason rootwise didn't include it in their blend and its because it is extremely competitive and unpredictable until it has stabilized within the diversity of the populous of the substrate......even tho it may interfere with the other biology im certainly interested in attempting to isolate a strain that has a measurable affinity for fungus gnat larvae and adults...... i do believe there is a plethora of genetic variations in Build a soils product and am eager to try these tests
Jeremy thank you in advance for all the wealth of knowledge! My ladies looking very proper thanks to your products. Can you please elaborate on the Sprouted Quinoa Ferment collabo with Jay plant speaker? Also, how long into flower can ferments be used and at what rate? Currently using peach ferment and the ladies looooove it !!!
Can you use this as an ipm in coco-coir? Love B.A.S but am trying a new floraflex setup ( automated watering ). With the moisture of the cococoir all the time fungus gnats love the top layers. Is it possible to water this in at a 5.8 Ph and it will take care of the fungus gnats and larvae?
The arsenal just keeps growing !!! You should be getting a donation soon if u haven't got it yet !!! I put a letter in the package as well with a little back story , hope it reaches u sooner than later ( can't find my tracking #) .
I just got some tweatmint from you guys but definitely be getting some of this for the simple fact I would not have to spray every plant and clean the tent and everything in it ty so much for the info and your time
Quick question about soil aeration. Can I use crushed hydroton, aka expanded clay pellets, as a soil aeration base mixer with rice hulls? Pumice is expensive to ship and hard to source locally, but thought some crushed hydroton might do the trick. I was worried about mixing with rice hulls and having too much silica or something else. Thanks!
sounds good to me, should balance the rice hulls nicely as hulls 'cross link' and distribute moisture but sometimes get soggy on their own, the hydroton is going to help the "drainage" as they both help the "aeration"
Would this help prevent powdery mildew in a medical garden and is there a need to re innoculate if you use other microbes such as those found in recharge or compost teas especially other beneficial fungi like mycorrhiza?
A product I've used from recommendation of friends in managing fungus gnats is T-Drops or Tanlin. Can't find too much info on the ingredient list for them, however it seems to serve a similar function. Anybody know if there is crossover or similarity between BB and T-Drops?
Jeremy hello and good day to you and the crew @ Build a soil. My question is if you use this product will it kill nematodes and the beneficial insects within the soil or ones that are added to control unwanted pests to the soil. Please advise. Thank you.
So mixing the 1/16 of BB into the soil of the 4 inch pots I pop seeds in would be all I need for the whole life of the plant? With out reapplying during transplants?
Would love to hear your thoughts on mainlining or manifolding currently I'm running a 3x4 tent and a 30 gallon pot mainlining for eight colas. I would love to see you do this side by side in the 10x10 to see the difference in yield. Thank you much in advance for taking the time to read my comment!
Worms would be ok but think it'll get all the bugs, beneficial or not. Though I'd like to know what others think as I was going to post a similar question. Would it also leave dead fungus ridden bugs in my tent or would it infect them as they mature in the soil so you wouldn't really see the carnage
Hi Jeremy I have been a subscriber for about a year now and this question has been on my mind what is the difference between your buildaflower and the buildabloom formulas?
Would it make sense to innocuoate cover crop with BB in a large bed or would that kill beneficial insects as well? Just ordered a 3x3 bed and thinking about application options
Potential FAQ question… I have to get my 4th cycle 3x3 no till bed up into a uhaul truck… ideally in one piece. Any advice before i start calling friends lol
is there a video or something proving it's effectiveness? like spraying aphids and watching them die, or an experiment with a bunch of seedlings that get infested and the ones that were treated when young don't have bugs.
coco is inert.. not soil. but yes, it can cling to roots, you should toss and blend in some compost/peat at least to get something for the bacteria/fungi to latch onto.. coco coir doesnt work itself like peat at all. This is why big brands use a coco/peat blend, so it has benefits of both coir and peat.
i like 2 cups peat, 2 cups coco, 1 cup perlite, etc per pot. so its 66 soil/coco and 33 percent perlite for aeration(or rice hulls like buildAsoil has for alternative for perlite)
Honestly you just need to do a fungus gnats episode. Every since getting into the living soil/all organic I’ve fought with them. I’m using a combo of diatomaceous earth and mosquito bits now. Is this the secret sauce or?
Thanks all, currently in earthboxes. It’s an explosion. Mosquito bits have knocked a dent, ordered nematodes and I’m gonna start misting with em5+neem combo. I’ll have to check out the tweetmint
i said F it and just put mosquitto netting over the soil. Use a tie wrap to loosely tie it to the stem and a giant rubber band to attach to the outside of the pot/container... It's really the only way to go all year without them AND have the liberty of doing what you want with the soil.
I grow outdoor in the Caribbean, a lot of my pest/pathogen pressure comes in flower stage (average humidity is over 75% and temps are average 30c). Mostly pests I’m trying to focus on in this tricky stage, can I use BB to mitigate the ongoing pressure while the plants flower? To be clearer; is it a more passive process that eliminates only the individuals that have fed off your plant’s sap? Or does it deter in some form also? Of course inoculating the soil as early on as I can as the means of application and with prevention in mind primarily. Thanks in advance anyone.
This is called an augmentative bio insecticide. Which means you need to spray it constantly according to the recommend dose to keep a concentration of fungal spores and double the concentration when you see sign of an outbreak. The spores work on contact so I guess it can't deter pests. Also it'll only work 5-7 days after spraying that's why you should spray in advance of the season. BB might infect pollinators but it's not a significant risk because you should spray it at late afternoon or at night while bees are active in the day.
its specialized for that, you are not supposed to use predator mites and IPM.. pick one. only essential oils can be semi-safe for predator mites imho... ottherwise most IPM has a bacteria or fungi that ruins pests. I would use this, pfr97 and met52, just those 3, with bacillus blends (amylolquefaciens for sure) and youre set. Otherwise use the mite packs, dont use both.. i mean one is meant as a natural pesiticide/IPM spray
Why don’t you guys do a test on ur BB and see how it compares to a few of the others BB’s since you “feel” that yours is better? Seems like an easy test to conduct …….kinda like they do with mycorrhiza and other products
You guys are KILLING my wallet. But I'm at fault for being addicted to buying everything on the BAS website lol. It feels amazing picking and choosing what ingredients to put into waterings or feedings. My plants and I LOVE Buildasoil!! Thank you team!

Good morning! Was wondering if I can plant 2 photos in my earth box? I see you only plant one. Will it be ok to plant 2?
yeah it works just flip to flower before they get too big

Worms would be ok but think it'll get all the bugs, beneficial or not. Though I'd like to know what others think as I was going to post a similar question. Would it also leave dead fungus ridden bugs in my tent or would it infect them as they mature in the soil so you wouldn't really see the carnage
If it's an arthropod,, it'll mess w.them
Awesome
Does the bb+ play well with the Rootwise microbes
Would this kill predatory insects also
When is the best time to spray foliar at night or lights on and humidity and temp ?
Hi Jeremy I have been a subscriber for about a year now and this question has been on my mind what is the difference between your buildaflower and the buildabloom formulas?
preventive stuff always cool
Would it make sense to innocuoate cover crop with BB in a large bed or would that kill beneficial insects as well? Just ordered a 3x3 bed and thinking about application options

Is that same stuff in Recharge?
Thanks
Can this be use for carnivorous plants for pesticide?
Potential FAQ question… I have to get my 4th cycle 3x3 no till bed up into a uhaul truck… ideally in one piece. Any advice before i start calling friends lol
I have an adult tree that always are covered in lantern flys. Can I spray it on the adult tree? It's a sumac?
is there a video or something proving it's effectiveness? like spraying aphids and watching them die, or an experiment with a bunch of seedlings that get infested and the ones that were treated when young don't have bugs.
Will this be effective on eggplant fruit and shoot borer (L. Orbonalis)
What got left on the cutting room floor at the 3:00 mark? Coffee, cordyceps…and chronic?
Is it safe to eat or juice food that have this grown with them?
Will this survive & provide benefits when used in a coco hydroponic grow with a 5.6-6.1pH❓
coco is inert.. not soil.
but yes, it can cling to roots, you should toss and blend in some compost/peat at least to get something for the bacteria/fungi to latch onto.. coco coir doesnt work itself like peat at all. This is why big brands use a coco/peat blend, so it has benefits of both coir and peat.
i like 2 cups peat, 2 cups coco, 1 cup perlite, etc per pot. so its 66 soil/coco and 33 percent perlite for aeration(or rice hulls like buildAsoil has for alternative for perlite)
Would you ever be willing to share a lab test on your harvest? Thc/chemical etc.
How often do you use it?
Does it kill rove beetles? What about beneficial mites?
Honestly you just need to do a fungus gnats episode. Every since getting into the living soil/all organic I’ve fought with them. I’m using a combo of diatomaceous earth and mosquito bits now. Is this the secret sauce or?
Add tweetmint to your ipm, thank me later
Make sure ur not overwatering. Let it dry out nd use em5+ mountainorganics plant tonics with neem.plus alil Q and u should knock those gnats away.
When I've started new beds or pots this happens, but as you add beneficials, worms, etc. they go away. It might take a couple of cycles though.
Thanks all, currently in earthboxes. It’s an explosion. Mosquito bits have knocked a dent, ordered nematodes and I’m gonna start misting with em5+neem combo. I’ll have to check out the tweetmint
i said F it and just put mosquitto netting over the soil. Use a tie wrap to loosely tie it to the stem and a giant rubber band to attach to the outside of the pot/container... It's really the only way to go all year without them AND have the liberty of doing what you want with the soil.
Humidity is 70% and 77f for consistently keeping spores alive keep clean myco is super clean work
Is this the same as no fly from
Blacksmith
What about Bees? Does the fungus atack them as well?
What is your favorite nutrients?
I grow outdoor in the Caribbean, a lot of my pest/pathogen pressure comes in flower stage (average humidity is over 75% and temps are average 30c).
Mostly pests I’m trying to focus on in this tricky stage, can I use BB to mitigate the ongoing pressure while the plants flower?
To be clearer; is it a more passive process that eliminates only the individuals that have fed off your plant’s sap? Or does it deter in some form also?
Of course inoculating the soil as early on as I can as the means of application and with prevention in mind primarily.
Thanks in advance anyone.
This is called an augmentative bio insecticide. Which means you need to spray it constantly according to the recommend dose to keep a concentration of fungal spores and double the concentration when you see sign of an outbreak. The spores work on contact so I guess it can't deter pests. Also it'll only work 5-7 days after spraying that's why you should spray in advance of the season. BB might infect pollinators but it's not a significant risk because you should spray it at late afternoon or at night while bees are active in the day.
Fox wit ya!!
Does it harm beneficials like springtails?
So are you Choosing not to call it a pesticide for regulatory reasons or is this strain just not as specialized at attacking bugs/mites??
just for regulatory reasons. its the best on the market
its specialized for that, you are not supposed to use predator mites and IPM.. pick one. only essential oils can be semi-safe for predator mites imho... ottherwise most IPM has a bacteria or fungi that ruins pests. I would use this, pfr97 and met52, just those 3, with bacillus blends (amylolquefaciens for sure) and youre set. Otherwise use the mite packs, dont use both.. i mean one is meant as a natural pesiticide/IPM spray
Would this fungus being present in the plant affect testing?
Safe for testing, used for years in denver and cali
Interested in the terpene effects of BB+.
Why don’t you guys do a test on ur BB and see how it compares to a few of the others BB’s since you “feel” that yours is better?
Seems like an easy test to conduct …….kinda like they do with mycorrhiza and other products
