    My uncle was 63 when he passed in 2019. He grew some really good outdoor. He trimmed the plants when they were bushy and that was about it. A little more attention and affection they would have been great but that’s my opinion. He said never ever use store bought anything, Mother Nature provides everything, you just need to go get it. He would filter his water through soil, rocks and all sorts of stuff. Kinda like a river does. Anyway he said understand what’s in your soil and the plant will do the rest. She will tell you what you need. He grew 10ft plants that gave a pound or more (not to sure). I used chemicals when I first started out. 1 grow and I went to organics. I use his methods and it’s amazing.

    Yooo!!! i just stumbled upon this channel accidentally while searching for a break down of fertilizer so i could learn a thing or two about my recently started garden of plants so i didn’t end up killing them. And let me just say- i love how you explain everything so well and make it simple enough that a rookie gardener like me can even understand it!! And you are funny as heck and super down to earth. I really enjoyed this video and feel like i learned a LOT!! I can’t even begin to tell you how many videos i have been watching that taught me absolutely nothing-in fact i had more questions after some of them than i did before watching them!!! Most of them are just people over complicated things and using terms and products with unfamiliar names a newbie like me has no idea about, and so many confusing soil amendments +additives foliar sprays bloom boosters organic and inorganic fertilizers etc that they tell you are all necessary and have some complex order and system to them, and the ones that don’t are mostly just trying to sell you somthin. This has been the first one i hav seen that is just to the point and soley for the purpose of informing and helping people actually learn. Its been the first video that i actually understood clearly and concisely! So glad to have stumbled upon this. Thank you so much for putting this content out there for people to watch for the free and gain so much helpful knowledge. You really don’t even know how much it has helped me , as im sure it has helped many others as well. Super appreciate the video and all of the great information in it as well. Thank you again for taking the time to do this and for spreading the knowledge and love of gardening. Keep it up!!

    Thank you for your time making this information so straight forward and crystal clear. Awesome wisdom very well presented. without all the bottles/containers.
    I'm in my first ever grow. Under led lights. My plants are into week 6 of 8 of flowering. The flowering fertilizer I'm currently using has an N-P-K of 2-11-14.
    So, during the flowering cycle, I should be using 0% to 5% Nitrogen? I meet that one. And higher Phosphurous 30%-35%. I'm well off the mark here. And higher Potassium 20%-30%. I'm well below this. A good N-P-K for flowering Cannabis would be 0-30-25?
    I've been using a Cal/Mag additive since early veg and intend to do so until the end.
    Thanks if you could let me know your thoughts. Great work man.

  • @davewitty3307
    @davewitty3307 9 місяців тому +1

    Good to see u back on youtube. I missed u. Last time I seen u , was the fire. Your looking good . Time to start the show. I always used HPS with success. Now I'm trying 650 watt LED bar light & 2 dimmable 400 watt HPS , 1 on each side, and side led lighting migros on all walls . I will shoot for 1,000 par across.
    Equal and see what shakes out. Using CO2 . How would u feed this light mix system ? 4'×6'×96"expandable roller tent to 6'×6' if needed. Using 8 inch grodan blocks .
    Did u save any Maui wowie?

Now I’ve tried everything suggest on you tube, and they just won’t die! I haven’t seen anything suggested by you. Have you done a video on this topic? I can’t find it. I’m now going into 3rd week of flower and I’m very concerned I could loose the whole crop!

    Great video, you are incredibly knowledgeable, and I really like your advice. You remind me of an old high school science instructor, and he really made an positive impact on me. I have several question. First, how often do you fertilize. Second, how much of the solution (following the bags recommended solution concentration) are you putting on each plant. Lastly, what do you recommend for a soil, as I am currently using coco coir and am open to other options, and would love to hear what you use.
