I have 8 plants in a 4x5 and they are thriving but I’m trimming ! I’m using grow dot and recharg the steams are almost the size of a nickel my 2nd grow I’m very happy with all your advice
Ugh I had bud rot take my harvest out once. I got a clone from a buddy. B4 accepting the clone I didn't look at his garden at all. Little did I know he had mold in the tent and my whole harvest was ruined. I had to strip all my tent and equipment down and clean everything with 99% iso. Had to get rid of all my fabric pots. Was a sad season 😢 lol. Lesson learned don't take clones from someone b4 doing your research 💯
@@woodchipgardens9084 i mean mold is indeed everywhere, but when you come into contact with a really strong colony theres still definitely potential for cross contamination. Sterile practices do help considerably, you dont have to go overboard with em but trying to do it more often isnt necessarily going to hurt.
Damn, I know the feeling. Bud rot is the worst disappointment to see IMO. At least pests can be treated if early enough and if not - trim excess foliage and paint neem oil solution onto every leaf's underside. Bud rot... you get this unshakeable "all my work and passion...is fooled? 😓😢" . Even cutting that budrot cola and washing the rest doesn't restore my trust 100% lol
7:00 overwatering is only an issue with young root systems. Ie; germination and early veg. This is critical Scotty!!! Most UA-camrs are stunting during germination and early veg from too much moisture extending veg times. Then they underwater when the roots are mature causing osmotic shock that looks like deficiencies. It's not overwatering or underwatering, it's insufficient irrigation, PERIOD. It's time to understand root hairs during early rooting, fresh air availability to the substrate (this is where co2 supplements fail you Scotty!) and most importantly, growers must get a handle on the moisture needs of the plant. This comes from growing experience ONLY. Learning to irrigate appropriately comes with HANDS ON EXPERIENCE ONLY. You can't overwater with mature root systems unless you're trying to. But you can easily underwater because of irresponsible UA-cam advice... Grow to know!
I just popped a plant and almost killed it because I let it go an extra day without water, it drooped and didn't return to form until almost two days later. The other plant just continued to droop until I put it out of its misery. Now the one plant that ended up coming back is growing really slow, been three weeks and not yet big enough to uppot. Is this what is meant by "stunting?"
That chart on nutrient absorption is very helpful. I’ve been fighting an iron deficiency on new growth.the old growth is perfectly green and healthy. Out door grow in straight ground. I added CaliMagic to my nutrient cycle and the plants got better. Then it keeps coming back. What I didn’t do was check the ph of my nutrient solution. When i finally checked the ph it was 8.5 in the water and high 7 in soil. I dropped the ph in the water to 5.5 and watered again. This brought my soil down to a low 6. 🤞 it fixes the problem. It’s almost time to stretch and flower so I’m hoping it’s fixed, but I’m getting so nervous being this close to flower.
I am heading the end of my first „professional“ indoor grow. The one plant that grew the fastest started to turn brighter. After a lot of research I found out that it is an iron defficiency. I Never tested my ph levels because our water used to be perfectly at 6,5. Once a year our city runs cheaper water that is at 8,2. Obviously that was the problem 😅 It was interesting to see that the plants are not able to absorb Iron with an ph of over 8. thank you for your help ❤
On my first grow i had a slight mildew smell so figured i needed more airflow, put a large oscillating fan, set it on med-low and went away for the weekend, came back and the plant closest to the fan got wind burn 😢. Luckily it wasnt toooo bad but definitely hurt my yield. Didnt know wind burn was a thing. I do now
its funny i started in coco with canna a+b and i kept overwatering my seedlings into dying. i was also not regulating humidity well enough and was too dry. then i switched to diy living soil and havent looked back. no more needing to measure fertilizer every watering, i don't even monitor my ph anymore and my tap water is too alkaline but I buffer ph with amendments instead!!
How about "when you get run off water in your trays "do not feed it back to your plants". Do "not use any fertilizer or fertilized soil for the first 2-3 weeks of growth".
I have only 4 plants in a 6.5'x6.5' greenhouse grow(8' of head room)that I started early May. They're in 15 gallon pots using COM stonington blend soil. I topped the plants I've been growing in my indoor tent as early as possible, and they grew maybe 24"-26" tall in my grow tent, looking like a menorah, with equal sized large branches all pretty much the same distance from the light. These plants in the greenhouse however are out of control. I have only 4, albeit in 15 gallon fabric pots. They're taller than me, despite being topped when young. It's awesome, but I'm worried about not having enough room! I wanted bigger plants in the greenhouse than last year, but this is just insane! Apparently they're loving the 15gal pots with stonington blend, and full sun every day. I should also mention the weather has allowed for almost zero cloudy days since May. I'm not sure what to do at this point, or if they get too big, maybe I should dissemble the greenhouse around them and hope for the best lol.
My most common and aggravating mistake for me is over and under watering very annoying but I give myself credit by being able to bring back mostly any sick plant I come across but after 6 yrs of indoor growing in living soil that is the mistake i commonly make I also have designs for self watering bucket system but a tip I’ve learned is using a small spray bottle and just water seedlings with that
Should of pollinated autos in basement but had other plants didn't want pollinated. Might have to build a cage in back yard at home next year. Just to put plants outdoors sooner to pollinate some before going up north. Don't think I got colloidal silver on autos soon enough.

Too many plants and all eat differently too. Have had every issue but spider mites were the worst. Also don’t over love because after 17 years I’ve done it early and later. Sometimes if I’m low like now I’ll do 2 of10-12 gallons in a 4x4 and got about 2lbs or so. Usually like 4 in 3-7. Have a smaller 2.5x2.5 foot but like the bigger
PH seems to still be an unknown to me. Using promix hp mainly with a little coco and warm castings I dont know what the PH is in that to begin with. I use Advanced nutrients which claims to be PH balanced. Recently got a cheap 20$ Ph meter to check the soil but I see no consistant readings enough to know for sure where I stand in PH. Maybe Scotty you could explain some of that more in detail in another video.
I'm really struggling with over and under watering. Trying out CocoLoco right now but gonna try an actual coco run soon though, when I got the space for another plant.
I just love your videos Scott, you are a real dude……see what I did there😊. Btw, I’m an organic guy and have been using recharge from day one and love it. Lately I’ve been thinking of using salts and thought….” Well recharge works so well, I wonder how grow dots will do” so today I bought my first bag of dots. I only grow autos and was wondering how they do on shorter grow times like the 65-75 day strains. I would think maybe only use them on the 90 day haze type maybe?…. Got any advice on that?
7:50 what do you mean "don't get a scale", that's a new market gap - grow pot scales to put your plants on, you could even combine it with all the other possible electric stuff you can add to your room to make it even more efficient ^^ btw; that was just a joke, but I'm quite sure that in about 7-14 month's I will see this kind of product on the market, which would not be a joke but ironic enough to be funny.
?? So when I water I should until it runs out?Because I have never watered, until runoff cause I hate having to suction the extra out of the catch tray, I do try not to overwater were I grow organically! I am a fairly new grower!!
Using math to prevent over watering is the best practice imo. It's suggested to water between 5-10 percent of soil volume. So using Google to ask what 5-10 percent of your soil volume is it will let you know and you can even convert that to ounces to make sure that you are close as possible without going out of range
My biggest mistake was waiting 50 years to start growing LOL....Anyway I had a job where I couldnt even be around someone who smoked and when I retired I got a 5X5 and started my journey. Im in my second year and I kicked Happy Frog to the curb the last grow and only do AutoPots and coco coir now...! Man what an easy gig..! Thanks for all you do in sharing your knowledge..!
Grow Dots are a full nutrient line so it is not needed, but depending on the type of guano a light topdressing may not hurt, just stay away from high nitrogen guanos.
One of my biggest mistakes was to adjust PH-level of the water before adding the fancy ass fertilizer, instead of adjusting PH of the nutrient solution. Seems like plants don't like overfeeding at PH 3 ... 😂
Und das Annehmen meines Bettes ist wenn man LRS macht und seine Pflanzen richtig trainiert und später ins Netz eingelebt hat man ja wohl schwer die Möglichkeit den Topf weiterhin anzuheben dann sollte man wenigstens schon mal so weit sein und es in ein verinnerlicht haben wie man gießt🎉
My outdoor plantlings were looking dynamite, but then a hailstorm surprised us and destroyed them!! I don't know what I did to p*ss-off Mother Nature, but it's still early enough to try again.
I'm doing my first grow. I used compost that I made with leaves and stuff and some dirt from the Home Depot and apparently I lucked out and have it dialed in perfectly. My plant is huge, and bushy and green, no yellow or brown leaves. I fertilize with blood meal, bone meal, earthworm castings, and some fish based stuff called Morebloom, which is 0-10-10. I do small amounts kind of often. This thing is super healthy. Hopefully I don't fuck up but it's doing really well now.
I use a touch of that morbloom as well. Some varieties will get more hungry for potassium and phosphorus. Like Purple Punch for example; they tend to have a lotta leaves and grow in kinda shaggy looking lol. All those leaves cost potassium to run I think. Plus the phosphorus is something they need as well, in order to properly use their calcium they gotta have some phosphorus present. I still don't understand a lot of it, but I know what the experts are saying these days. One of the latest things is the discussion about how Phosphorus, in a very roundabout way, can make your plant better able to use the calcium that is available to it, simply by makin' healthier roots. Speaking of which, I just took one of my Ya Hemis, and I dissected her pot afterwards, to see what happened. This is the one I burned real bad, and something had stunted her on top of that. Well, turns out it was because I used one of those little starter disc things to pop those seeds. Then, the little disc expands up into what looks like a little bag with soil in it. Well, it said the little bags disintegrate. They don't. my little Ya Hemi's main tap root was bent off to one side, like it had grown around some obstacle. Yeah, that stupid little bag! From now on, I'm just plantin' in the top of my own soil mix, in a 5 gal. fab. Now if I could just find some cheap little tray things to put under them, I could bottom water.
Scotty you are an absolute treasure to the community. People seem to want to overcomplicate things but with your methods it becomes simple and enjoyable. Best wishes to all the growmies out there. Good luck and happy harvests.
Living Soul ist ja auch nicht das Problem da kannst du ja auch auf deinen Puffer für die Erde arbeiten und muss nicht wie bei Coco und Bio Bizz drauf achten.
My autos look great couple of weeks from harvest, now all the leaves are getting brown spots, then drying and curling just like a calcium deficiency, so i added calcium carbonate and it has not helped, cant work it out. Ph is 6.8, 7ish 🤷♂️ i should make it to harvest though
I run autos all year in a 5x5 and have a blast growing them and photos outside in the summer so I always have room indoors. Recharge all the way..thx guys!
I've got a 3 x 3 and it has 6 3 1/2 gallon pots and I opting for two more because altho the space is tight it is there. Ive done it before and I keep everything trimmed and tidy at all times and work hard to keep the plants from overlapping or touching each other and keep them smaller than I normally would with less plants. The benefit is that if one or two plants don't grow well the others will make up for it. Interestingly enough with just four plants I had my biggest harvest but those were with 5 gallon buckets. And let me tell ya G13 is a seriously stinky strain. But I do believe Scotty is right about the plants wanting and needing there own space and even if there not touching or overlapping they seem to know its to tight. Somehow they know.
One bail formulate 3 cubic feet pro mix a 40 pound bag earth worm castings with bat guano this is a perfict grow medium the best every time you water 1 tea spoon Blum solution per gallon every time you water Eason salts worke quite well best fosfeate you can get Weather ph should be a little asidic. About 6’9 this no lower then 6’8 do not over water a good way to tell iff your plants need water stick your finger down into your soil iff it’s dry your plant needs water iff growing in doors keep room temp at 75 all the time make shoure you have good air flow in the room and use a de humidifier to keep down the moisture in the room follow these instructions and you can grow what ever vetagation you desire
Yes there shouldn't be any differene beside the absence of nitrogen in any healthy soil system. Once you're reinnoculating the soil and adding back in nutrients you can reuse the same media up to 5 times
@@lordfreizaa4013@scottyreal What is the best products to use to make your soil like brand new or better so this batch of plants don't die like the current batch? Bio-char or Cocoa bricks to help retain nutrients to disperse when plants need it?
I’m checking off all the right boxes according to this video. Minnesota makes sure we don’t crowd our grow space with their four plants in flower and four in veg rule. I have copies of that PH chart along with feeding schedules hanging on the wall and set ppfd and DLI according to charts. I’m not right on with temp and humidity but am always solidly within the recommended range. The only time I’m off a bit on recommend temp and humidity is when I’ve got something in the drying tent and veg stage. Then I have to compromise and get up to the 70-72 range while drying. Aside from that it’s always within range and if the veg tent is empty I can zero in closer to 60/60. Range is the key word here that is sometimes overlooked. Outdoor growers deal with deer, storms, drought, and this summer monsoons. Like I say, they dry in the pole barn and do a fantastic job based on past samples. I feel pretty good as I’m on top of proper watering as well. That all came naturally from planting outdoor gardens and having a yard to take care of since 1974. I like these episodes where I don’t feel like any changes are needed. Validation that I guessed right.
I'm guilty of over loving my plants I've found less is more in most cases. I'm doing my first pure organic outdoor grow this year lots more planning ahead I'm realizing it takes weeks for some amendments to break down enough for the plants to up take the nutrients. It's definitely challenging to get everything balanced
I'm having good luck with organic. As you said it takes awhile for the nutrients to break down, but you can time it. I'm using blood meal for nitrogen and also worm castings. Also using bone meal and some liquid fish based stuff which is 0-10-10, I think it's called Morebloom. I use pretty small amounts kind of often and it's doing great, lots of growth and no yellow or brown leaves. If you do it just right those products are constantly feeding just the right amount.
Here's a question for you i been growing now going on now for 6 years and been watching all of you guys since the 2017 I've only been growing outside for 3 years and been doing great the last 2 years on production some real fire but here is the question that I have is my soil is 4.5 to 5.5 and I've put fertilizers to try and get it up and still staying at that range and still production great growing i wish I could show you the pictures
@@MasonsAlienGrow maybe try one of the self watering techniques? Easy to do with existing pots and short lengths of rope or really anything absorbent for making wicks. Of course plenty of commercial versions available.
First year like at all and I got great results I'm stressing LOL about this very conversation I'm trying to hang method Sinbad jar or whatever you have that will hold are decently
Yea seems like a big hassle to lift the pot (especialy if you do lst where you fixate stuff somewhere in your tent). I feel like this whole watering thing is so easy and never got how you can overwater/underwater so much
Growing on the balcony. With summer outside it's hard not to overwater. Especially at an altitude of 2200 ft the UV radiation is so high that the leaves will hang within hours when not giving them water. Got fabric pots and still i feel i should go with less water. But how?
One thing I'm guilty of, and I think, will help someone that's getting into living soil is living soil does not like dry back or letting the soil get somewhat dry before the next watering. Once I realized that the soil needed to be moist for the "living soil" to do what it does so well it was off to the races. In short don't let your living soil get to dry 😂
but if you put the right amount of perlite or the other kind of stuff that you use to help drain, then you shouldn't have that problem right? and this is a question

One of the reasons I like your channel is you’re not over the top with the the culture stuff. I first because associated with the plant in 1970 through the original long haired hippie generation. I’m more in tune with Willie Nelson and Tommy Chong than some kid in a backwards hat with sunglasses who talks like they have a mouth full of shit.

You’re a beneficial fungi/fun guy lol

I can’t watch this… why is he doing Alex Jones voice
Q: do you #AZOMITE®
Nope.
4x4 is 16 feet sq bud
I'm doing my first grow. I used compost that I made with leaves and stuff and some dirt from the Home Depot and apparently I lucked out and have it dialed in perfectly. My plant is huge, and bushy and green, no yellow or brown leaves. I fertilize with blood meal, bone meal, earthworm castings, and some fish based stuff called Morebloom, which is 0-10-10. I do small amounts kind of often. This thing is super healthy. Hopefully I don't fuck up but it's doing really well now.
Sounds like you’re doing it right, way to go not using synthetics!Personally I think organics produce better flavors.
I use a touch of that morbloom as well. Some varieties will get more hungry for potassium and phosphorus. Like Purple Punch for example; they tend to have a lotta leaves and grow in kinda shaggy looking lol. All those leaves cost potassium to run I think. Plus the phosphorus is something they need as well, in order to properly use their calcium they gotta have some phosphorus present. I still don't understand a lot of it, but I know what the experts are saying these days. One of the latest things is the discussion about how Phosphorus, in a very roundabout way, can make your plant better able to use the calcium that is available to it, simply by makin' healthier roots.
Speaking of which, I just took one of my Ya Hemis, and I dissected her pot afterwards, to see what happened. This is the one I burned real bad, and something had stunted her on top of that. Well, turns out it was because I used one of those little starter disc things to pop those seeds. Then, the little disc expands up into what looks like a little bag with soil in it. Well, it said the little bags disintegrate.
They don't. my little Ya Hemi's main tap root was bent off to one side, like it had grown around some obstacle. Yeah, that stupid little bag! From now on, I'm just plantin' in the top of my own soil mix, in a 5 gal. fab. Now if I could just find some cheap little tray things to put under them, I could bottom water.
Im guilty of vegging too long and crowding my tent almost every run, lol!
Its just too much fun to vegg them and get some good trees
I run into this same thing and find myself folding branches at week 5-6 before they max and hit my light.
I vegged to long this grow
Well, yeah, it’s like you finally, got yourself a really good root foundation. It’s a hard to stop the veg that quick.
Root and fruit fellas ! Overcrowding is no fun at all lol.
Scotty you are an absolute treasure to the community. People seem to want to overcomplicate things but with your methods it becomes simple and enjoyable. Best wishes to all the growmies out there. Good luck and happy harvests.
Never check ph I use living soil if soil right it will correct it itself
Not using living soil
Living Soul ist ja auch nicht das Problem da kannst du ja auch auf deinen Puffer für die Erde arbeiten und muss nicht wie bei Coco und Bio Bizz drauf achten.

My autos look great couple of weeks from harvest, now all the leaves are getting brown spots, then drying and curling just like a calcium deficiency, so i added calcium carbonate and it has not helped, cant work it out. Ph is 6.8, 7ish 🤷♂️ i should make it to harvest though
I run autos all year in a 5x5 and have a blast growing them and photos outside in the summer so I always have room indoors. Recharge all the way..thx guys!
Right on
I only come here for this dudes voice!
I've got a 3 x 3 and it has 6 3 1/2 gallon pots and I opting for two more because altho the space is tight it is there. Ive done it before and I keep everything trimmed and tidy at all times and work hard to keep the plants from overlapping or touching each other and keep them smaller than I normally would with less plants. The benefit is that if one or two plants don't grow well the others will make up for it. Interestingly enough with just four plants I had my biggest harvest but those were with 5 gallon buckets. And let me tell ya G13 is a seriously stinky strain. But I do believe Scotty is right about the plants wanting and needing there own space and even if there not touching or overlapping they seem to know its to tight. Somehow they know.
Hello, my flower is drooping. Is it due to excessive watering? And what should I do? Can you help me? thanks
One bail formulate 3 cubic feet pro mix a 40 pound bag earth worm castings with bat guano this is a perfict grow medium the best every time you water 1 tea spoon Blum solution per gallon every time you water Eason salts worke quite well best fosfeate you can get Weather ph should be a little asidic. About 6’9 this no lower then 6’8 do not over water a good way to tell iff your plants need water stick your finger down into your soil iff it’s dry your plant needs water iff growing in doors keep room temp at 75 all the time make shoure you have good air flow in the room and use a de humidifier to keep down the moisture in the room follow these instructions and you can grow what ever vetagation you desire
Yup. 👍
Can you reuse dirt that an old batch of plants died in for a new batch of plants but end up with a great new batch growing like the dirt is new?
Yes there shouldn't be any differene beside the absence of nitrogen in any healthy soil system. Once you're reinnoculating the soil and adding back in nutrients you can reuse the same media up to 5 times
@@lordfreizaa4013@scottyreal What is the best products to use to make your soil like brand new or better so this batch of plants don't die like the current batch? Bio-char or Cocoa bricks to help retain nutrients to disperse when plants need it?
Love it scotty....it's my lifetime goal to meet u and pass u a jay!!!
Hell Yeah!
I’m checking off all the right boxes according to this video. Minnesota makes sure we don’t crowd our grow space with their four plants in flower and four in veg rule. I have copies of that PH chart along with feeding schedules hanging on the wall and set ppfd and DLI according to charts. I’m not right on with temp and humidity but am always solidly within the recommended range. The only time I’m off a bit on recommend temp and humidity is when I’ve got something in the drying tent and veg stage. Then I have to compromise and get up to the 70-72 range while drying. Aside from that it’s always within range and if the veg tent is empty I can zero in closer to 60/60.
Range is the key word here that is sometimes overlooked. Outdoor growers deal with deer, storms, drought, and this summer monsoons. Like I say, they dry in the pole barn and do a fantastic job based on past samples.
I feel pretty good as I’m on top of proper watering as well. That all came naturally from planting outdoor gardens and having a yard to take care of since 1974.
I like these episodes where I don’t feel like any changes are needed. Validation that I guessed right.
It would be amazing to be able to try grow dots and recharge but it’s so dam expensive where I am
Why don't you bypass Yr Electric metre ?
@@goinfishinalba9811 I already do!
I Love your Videos they are Very Informative, Thank You! These Q&A Sessions are the Best!
I'm guilty of over loving my plants I've found less is more in most cases. I'm doing my first pure organic outdoor grow this year lots more planning ahead I'm realizing it takes weeks for some amendments to break down enough for the plants to up take the nutrients. It's definitely challenging to get everything balanced
I'm having good luck with organic. As you said it takes awhile for the nutrients to break down, but you can time it. I'm using blood meal for nitrogen and also worm castings. Also using bone meal and some liquid fish based stuff which is 0-10-10, I think it's called Morebloom. I use pretty small amounts kind of often and it's doing great, lots of growth and no yellow or brown leaves. If you do it just right those products are constantly feeding just the right amount.
@@actionjksnthat's basically the same stuff I'm using
If you brew some compost tea,it helps make the amendments available
Here's a question for you i been growing now going on now for 6 years and been watching all of you guys since the 2017 I've only been growing outside for 3 years and been doing great the last 2 years on production some real fire but here is the question that I have is my soil is 4.5 to 5.5 and I've put fertilizers to try and get it up and still staying at that range and still production great growing i wish I could show you the pictures
Just wanna say "Thanks for these clips" !!! Huge and quick BIG information! Appreciated! ✌🏻
I was champ?
Glad you like them!
For me, lifting your plant is the only correct way to know if they need water
Try to lift a raised bed lol
I’m paralyzed on the right side so I won’t be lifting anything. I have to go by instinct.
@@MasonsAlienGrow maybe try one of the self watering techniques? Easy to do with existing pots and short lengths of rope or really anything absorbent for making wicks. Of course plenty of commercial versions available.
Support comment & algoritm food 🔥
Here in Texas spider mites are a major problem. So keep the temp below 78F with lots of circulation to mitigate their propagation.
First year like at all and I got great results I'm stressing LOL about this very conversation I'm trying to hang method Sinbad jar or whatever you have that will hold are decently
Does anyone just stick a finger in the dirt to see if it needs water?
Yea seems like a big hassle to lift the pot (especialy if you do lst where you fixate stuff somewhere in your tent).
I feel like this whole watering thing is so easy and never got how you can overwater/underwater so much
The top can be dry, but the bottom is still really moist, I prefer to lift the pots.
Done all the mistakes, and this things happen.
You learn something new every cycle
Hello, my flower is drooping. Is it due to excessive watering? And what should I do? Can you help me? thanks
Growing on the balcony. With summer outside it's hard not to overwater. Especially at an altitude of 2200 ft the UV radiation is so high that the leaves will hang within hours when not giving them water. Got fabric pots and still i feel i should go with less water. But how?
I’m sure this guy knows his stuff, but the voice is WAY too annoying... can’t do it.
Hahah can u just come to my house and prune my plant lol I topped but I’m scared to defoliate and she’s getting large 😅 I’m in Westminster js lol
One thing I'm guilty of, and I think, will help someone that's getting into living soil is living soil does not like dry back or letting the soil get somewhat dry before the next watering. Once I realized that the soil needed to be moist for the "living soil" to do what it does so well it was off to the races. In short don't let your living soil get to dry 😂
This same piece of info goes for Grow Dots too, don't let them dry out.
but if you put the right amount of perlite or the other kind of stuff that you use to help drain, then you shouldn't have that problem right? and this is a question
Coco the best für deine neue Stecklinge mit cloning Gel und fertig ich nehme persönlich clonex und dann 10 Tage später kann ich auch schon anfangen mir Gedanken zu machen über eine umtopfung und spätestens 14 Tage später kann ich dann richtig Gas geben da die roots richtig raus sind
@OfficialScottyReaI420 thank you Scotty 🫅💪 auch Danke schön an deine Community für die netten Worte und freue mich weiterhin von dir zu lernen und auch mit dir gemeinsam mal ein Hype in Deutschland auslösen
Is that your real voice, or just a voice you use to try to make the video sound exciting?
The best thing you can give your plants is your shadow.
That take a while😁
Greetings from Germany. I will start my first (legal) grow in the next weeks. Realy good video❤.
How did I decipher between grass and hay taste. 😂

Good morning
this dude is the alex jones of cannabis growers :)
Dwc seems to be the bastard child of the industry.
calibrate your pH-Meter! ive learned that the hard way 😑
Thank you so much for always dropping knowledge like a Polaroid picture. Too many people still torture their plants...but not in the good way.
Thanks, does it matter =photo versus auto?
Scottie i love the new grow content over on this channel! But please go back to having more grow talk on the og dude grows show pleaseeee ❤
Great show guys. I need to try some grow buckets they sound wonderful. 👍✔️🌱😮💨🤤🌄
One of the reasons I like your channel is you’re not over the top with the the culture stuff. I first because associated with the plant in 1970 through the original long haired hippie generation. I’m more in tune with Willie Nelson and Tommy Chong than some kid in a backwards hat with sunglasses who talks like they have a mouth full of shit. I’m just an old “stay off my lawn” average looking old guy who likes weed.
Scotty gives off that old man vibe that is like talking to the guy at the local grow store. All business without acting goofy. 😂😂😂😂
@OfficiaIScottyReaI420 what the heck is the sections on UA-cam?
The number one problem is overwatering
If you're talking to your plants your too into it
How about playing music 😂🤷 dead ass it works
Not using grow dots and recharge and that's a fact
Buttmold... that's what my doc told me today i have
Ive had a light leak that kept causing herms
I'm grown outside I have a 10-foot plant that I topped what's the best way to finish growing outside
Is it 10-ft plant that I topped
Jesus that voice made me skip....
