If only people would quit eating animals, we wouldn't have so much agriculture on this planet avg. 56 billion land animals get killed a year for consumption. It takes alot of water grain and corn to feed a cow for 3 years before slaughter
Just think we are just now learning things this why won’t they teach nutrition to kids in school at a young age some kids don’t even know we’re food comes from Dr’s are not even though nutritionally health only one class my Dr told me it was about although 12hours no wonder so many people are unhealthy with underlying condition 😞
the best thing about legalization is the introduction of actual agricultural science into the grow industry. I love that this guy is about real science, and not bro science.
I couldnt agree more! What we will be able to learn about our miracle lady that we don't already know......and QUALITY products for consumers....its the best of both worlds
The only video I've come across on Ytube that had asked the right questions. Would love to see some updates. About time we get a Part 2 for this Mr.Growit!
By far the most myth busting pure fact based medical hemp grow Q and A session I have ever watched. Everyone and I mean everyone who is in this arena needs to listen to this entire interview. Thank you for this.
Every grower should be listening to Bruce, growing cannabis is a science and he is one of the very few who are actually conducting scientific research of cannabis growth and yields
I'm gonna listen because I don't know a thing about light. But if this guy is another phoney baloney scam artist pandering to dumass potheads, like every other "pro" and "expert" in the sector I've attempted to listen to, I'm coming back for you awesomeguy77. And I'm bringing my brother.
Dr Bugbee continually apologizes for his "long answers". I've noticed him doing this in other interviews, not just this one. Somebody please tell him THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR lol. When I see a 9 minute video that claims to tell me everything I need to know about Topic X, I keep scrolling because I know you can't cover all the info in 9 minutes. We're here for the detailed answers that cover caveats, exceptions and anomalies. Thanks Chris and thank you Dr Bugbee as well!
I wonder if he actually knows how important him and his work is to us. Followed this guy for a few years and every video is mind blowing. You did an awesome job on the interview Chris. You nailed it with the question.
Started looking at dr. Bugbee vids over a year ago. He really knows science of plants and I continue to watch his. Doing this for awhile however I’ve learned some things as well in the 30+ years and sometimes I have done different things and probably still will, but make no doubt he knows his trade. I’m so glad he got rid of the myth of flushing, myth of darkness and myth of aspects of uvb and uva. This was your best interview to date Chris and thanks for the unusually pleasant and hard to find adult interview without all the typical immature stuff that is rampant on UA-cam, excellent interview!
Totally agree.. have over a decade of commercial in many cities myself.. this is easily one of the best educational cannabis videos for new growers and old... many of the broscience myths, busted like flushing and 48 hr darkneas which i tested myself in fl long ago with other growers.. so many people just believe studies, and often studies are bs tests funded by biased sources.
"adult interview without all the typical immature stuff" you mean like those two boneheads that smoke a blunt while attempting to disseminate half-assed information?
Luv your wisdom Bruce @ 14:14 he states, "we don't often get to good places as a human species by banning things, we try to change behavior". Well said!
Dr Bruce Bugbee just blew my mind. Thank you Chris for putting out my favorite episode on Christmas that’s mighty nice of you. Seriously this is probably my favorite episode yet! You guys did amazing!
I just learnt more about proper growing in an hour than 6 years of sifting through myths and bullshit online. I highly recommend any serious grower to watch this and learn from someone who has been studying it for forty years. It will definitely change some of my techniques for the better. Thanks to the Doc and Mr Grow It for sharing this.
I love how he is a no b.s. guy with real science , peer reviewed. Factual , unlike 99 % of the yahoos on the web. No big ego just down to earth and so polite in the face of so much laughable b.s. slingers.
Growers that post white ash pics on Instagram claiming a proper flush, are really upset right now lol. This was a great video with zero bro science. I'd argue this is your best guest to date. 👏
I just really want to thank you for the additional time you spend on putting the time stamps with the questions asked in the description. It is very much appreciated
For me personally, I dry at 60 degrees and 60% RH for no shorter than two weeks in complete darkness. If you can manage to stay right around that, it significantly helps maintain a beautiful cure where you don't have to even pop lids. Make sure you store at 60 degrees and you're golden.
@@BLentz32 agreed, for years I was going for 5-7 days hanging and then burping vacuum bags for weeks afterwards... exhausting!! Recently I took the build-a-soil method of 60% + 60° for 16 days. This process is shorter and requires MUCH less handwork.
Hi, intermediate home grower here. On one of the Doctor's youtube videos I've watched, he explains how he uses vermiculite as part of his growing medium which aids with silica production!!! I just wanted to share that nugget of info! I ❤️ this channel, GREAT SHOW! 💯💯💯!
When I hear DR.Bruce Bugbee talk I know this is the closest thing to exact in my bones, thank you for the information, this is what my Grandfather was talking about when it came to fertilizers, he grew the best tasting food with a balance of organic and salts.
Never thought about the phosphorus from manure leaching into the water. Always love hearing from Dr. Bugbee and always refer people to him when they seem enthusiastic about nature. truly this guy is an excellent resource.
Interesting podcast. After watching your more recent video on flushing, we learned that Plants have a 2 week energy store that they can use, so there is really no need to fertilise for the last 2 weeks of the grow (saving money on nutes if nothing else). In light of this I am wondering how accurate his prediction that a period of 48 hours darkness before harvest would nor increase secondary metabolites because there is no sugar to use. Clearly there is sugar that could be used as the plant does not use all it's stores in a single day. Maybe stressing the plant in this way (darkness) would indeed increase secondary metabolites.
Thank you 🙏 this is the best educational video I've ever seen. So many UA-cam growers don't know what they're talking about... It was really an honor listening to this.
@@carsonrutz9659 I've been following Bruce for about 5 years now. I'm sure there have been other guests with good info on these subjects, but Bruce is one of the best.
Again, Chris, good choice of your guest. For us engineers, we smell-check our sources of information, and this was a nice way to consolidate validated findings for us all. Thanks.
And also logically if it takes 9+ weeks to develop trichomes from start to finish, there’s no way 48 hours can create fully developed trichomes in 2 days
@@jetlifebih7853 yea this is what I thought that helped me decide against the darkness. If there’s an improvement, the difference isn’t worth the work/stress related to doing it.
Thank you. Mr Bugbee I am not sure how I discovered you, but I've been watching any video I can find you in. I apreciate the time you take explaining every subject.
I love this guy, he has excellent delivery skills & a very likeable guy to listen to... no BS. I learn more in 30 mins of Dr Bruce than weeks of reading information. Thanks Doc for increasing my success.
Thanks Chris for this great discussion. I’ve gained a lot from this post, and will have to listen to this again with my grow journal handy to capture all the ways to tweak, and improve my grow process.
I never comment for the most part..I have been growing plants for 40+ years and this is the most accurate information in one spot that I have found. I agree with all this in my actual experience. New growers...Hell all growers LISTEN TO Dr. Bruce Bugbee and STOP listening to all the bad information on the internet **** INDOOR ORGANIC NO-TILL, I AM TALKING TO YOU!!***
being really interested in hydroponics my experience in college before quitting was a very hard biology class... wish we had these course admins ten years ago
Huge thank you to Dr Bugby for so freely sharing his wealth of knowledge and in understandable terms. His passion for plant science really showers out. And thanks Chris for bringing this to out. Pure gold.
Been following professor Bruce and his work for over 3 years. Glad to see his work getting out here and crushing all the bro science that floods social media growers
What an immense amount of relevant and useful information! Busted a few "myths" and provided great tips. Thank you for finding such a knowledgeable guest, and thanks to the doctor for enlightening us.
Key term given...... Scientific Method. People either neglect entirely, don't repeat the same processes over multiple cycles or implement more than 1 variable. You can learn sooooo much every cycle if you K.I.S.S. and repeat your actions. When you change anything, don't change anything else. Repeat. Observe patterns. That's when you "start" to find real data. I LOVE YOUR SHOW AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR GUESTS!!💚🌱
If my plants are recieving the proper PPFD but are lacking DLI, it makes sense to slightly increase light time and test. Let's say during veg I'm using 450 PPFD but DLI is only 27 (heard proper range is between 30-40). I could increase light time to 18.5 or 19 hours per day to increase DLI. In flower the DLI is lower because of the shorter day but is made for in increased PPFD. When the lights come on tonight I'll be checking DLI.
I'd love to ask more about the drying and curing mentioned at around 45:00 - Dr Bugbee said he considers drying to be the first 24h, curing to typically only last about 2 weeks maximum. This seems contrary to most of what I have read and what I practice myself. Usually I shoot for a "long slow dry" at 60%rh/60°f for about two weeks, and then I consider them dry and move on to curing in jars. I wonder if Dr. Bugbee means to say they keep a lower humidity the first 24h and then go to something like 60/60 once the water content of the buds reaches around that 0.6 metric he mentioned. Great podcast and I love listening to this guest, but I'd love to pick his brain on more details regarding this section!
Can't get any better than the authority, the guru of science, Mr.Bugbee himself! Thank you for your great questions Chris. Keep up your great content! Cheers
Love hearing Dr Bugbee give such detailed responses and resources for further research!! Great you got him on your show. Hope you can arrange for more in the future
I hope dr. Bruce bugbee understands how thankful we all are for his life's work. 🙏 Thanks to him im doing a synth-ganic grow, im only defoliating leaves that have turned yellow or are causing poor airflow, im watering with light nutes every time i water, using full spectrum leds, monitoring co2 levels, and my plants are thriving! Looking forward to my biggest yield yet!
Such an informative interview! His explanations were solid without being dismissive. This is exactly the type of mind we need in the research fields of agriculture and plant sciences 🤟
His explanations were in fact very dismissive of all the bs myths. He might not have verbalised as such, but to show proof of one thing is to dismiss all the other bs opinions.
Everyone needs to follow the science backed approach like Dr Bruce Bugbee, i also really enjoyed your recent interview with Matt from Debacco university. lots of stuff i didnt know here blew my mind multiple times haha
This video has opened my mind. I very much like Dr. Bruce Bugbee. Although this video is great for everyone, however, I feel like only today after a few years planting i can fully appreciate and deeply understand this. I love how it targets and answers common growers "techniques" and the truth behind it. Specially when he speaks about lighting.WISH IT HAD MORE IN LIGHTING!!!! He is amazing on this! Anyways amazing video. Look forward to more like it.
Wow! What a great educator. His genuine enthusiasm for the subject is a great gift for someone who hopes and I imagine succeeds at inspiring his students. His in depth explanations are accomplished to just the right level for this brief discussion. Like he says, more information is available, but I assume that would be a one subject lecture of considerable length or up to degree level commitment. What a treat this was with a great broad range of subjects. Good on ya.
I've thought about his comment on 48-72 hour darkness. I noticed while doing reveg for strains that I forgot to clone prior to flower and I just thought to my self that when given 24 hours of light to reveg the buds get extreme color and tricomes. ( I will try giving my plants 24 hrs of light on the last day instead) Enjoyed this today. Thanks Mr. Growit and Dr. Bugbee!
definitely agree on controlled stress . i found bending and kinking stems does zero damage to the plant but puts it in repair mode , and ive noticed alot of triggers , temp. humidity . light etc .
Much appreciation for ALLLL the great knowledge that you have dropped. I'm a beginner grower and I have learned A LOT from you...Merry Christmas u Mr.Grow it and to all the other growmies out there
Amazing show as always, kinda funny was watching Bruce earlier today and then your video dropped. I love how u always have tho best guests and discussions around. Thank u Chris and Bruce too!
This video needs more likes. Finally science, not superstitious opinion. The entire grow industry as far as general information is littered with some of the most ridiculous superstitions that aren't backed by anything other than "it worked for me". When half of these "growers" don't realize they're stunting their plants with bad habits passed down by growers who grew strains that don't exist or are even grown anymore.
I learn something new each time I watch this video. Big gold nugget find today with the Silica and PM info..Priceless info right there people! Thanks, Chris.
I'm about to watch this episode for the 8th? time! Dr Bugbee shares so much good info, that I can count on picking up a few things, still. Kudos to you both.
Such an amazing teacher and man. I didn’t know he was head of Apogee Instruments. Good to know. Can count on them being as good as they get. Thanks Chris
This is a really concentrated masterclass in plant science! Fantastic, it took me back to the university time. Maybe not for everyone, but so science is! Thank you Chris! (Sorry for my English)

I've thought about his comment on 48-72 hour darkness. I noticed while doing reveg for strains that I forgot to clone prior to flower and I just thought to my self that when given 24 hours of light to reveg the buds get extreme color and tricomes. ( I will try giving my plants 24 hrs of light on the last day instead) Enjoyed this today. Thanks Mr. Growit and Dr. Bugbee!
Bruce has the great mind
definitely agree on controlled stress . i found bending and kinking stems does zero damage to the plant but puts it in repair mode , and ive noticed alot of triggers , temp. humidity . light etc .
Much appreciation for ALLLL the great knowledge that you have dropped. I'm a beginner grower and I have learned A LOT from you...Merry Christmas u Mr.Grow it and to all the other growmies out there
Everytime I watch this I learn something new, optimal temperatures this time, thanks Chris and Dr Bugbee
Amazing show as always, kinda funny was watching Bruce earlier today and then your video dropped. I love how u always have tho best guests and discussions around. Thank u Chris and Bruce too!
So happy you have Dr Bruce ❤ on , best teacher ever! Bugbee for President!
Nice job getting Bruce on the channel. The doctor is the highest authority in my book
This video needs more likes. Finally science, not superstitious opinion. The entire grow industry as far as general information is littered with some of the most ridiculous superstitions that aren't backed by anything other than "it worked for me". When half of these "growers" don't realize they're stunting their plants with bad habits passed down by growers who grew strains that don't exist or are even grown anymore.
Bruce is so valuable. I always thought the entire debate between mineral (should drop the "synthetic" moniker) and organic was silly.
I’m always organic above the soil and a mix in the soil
Extremely interesting information. I could listen to this guy all day long and never lose interest.
We needed this. There's something in here for every grower at any level💯🤟🏼🔥
Dr. Bruce the Einstein of horticulture, He is the real Deal 👍
I learn something new each time I watch this video. Big gold nugget find today with the Silica and PM info..Priceless info right there people! Thanks, Chris.
My memory must be horrible,lol, I watched 30 minutes before I noticed this was my 3rd time watching.. Can't get enough of Dr B...
CHRIS, your content is above the bar! I hope you know that this channel is the BEST.❤
I'm about to watch this episode for the 8th? time! Dr Bugbee shares so much good info, that I can count on picking up a few things, still. Kudos to you both.
I could listen to Bruce all day.
and look forward to being a student this fall
This is literally one of the most informative videos yet, love what you're doing with the colabs bro keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for your positive words!
Oh my gosh I could listen to Dr.Bugbee for hours. Tons of good information. I will have to watch it again to absorb knowledge from it. Thanks
I've been waiting for an answer regarding 24-48 hours of darkness right before harvest. AWESOME to hear the answer!!
There’s a lesson there. Don’t even listen to myths and hearsay until there is evidence. Words without evidence are called myths.
Such an amazing teacher and man.
I didn’t know he was head of Apogee Instruments. Good to know. Can count on them being as good as they get.
Thanks Chris
This is a really concentrated masterclass in plant science! Fantastic, it took me back to the university time. Maybe not for everyone, but so science is!
Thank you Chris!
