Been growing since the early 70's, the main difference is now I do it legally and indoors. We used to plant seeds in all the vegetable gardens on our paper routes, none of the senior citizens knew what the plants were, thought they looked interesting so they'd let them grow, and we'd harvest when we're ready. Now growing the best I've ever grown.
@@87Rado any advice for a newbie getting ready to harvest for the first time. I don’t want to ruin what I’ve been working hard on. Looking for suggestions on how to harvest and cure. Thanks in advance.
You will never get a pound from a plant if you skip the veg mode. Probably no more than 1 oz per plant. That more plants, more pots, more dirt, more watering to make a pound. Sounds like a bad idea. I like fewer bigger plants. Just lollipop to eliminate larf. Sounds to me like somebody was high and bored and wanted to reinvent the wheel.
@@selectaproductions7353 that is true it’s very strain dependent. But with a legal limit of four on a continuous grow cycle. Harvest every 28-35 days. Are you really getting that much off a pounder?
71 years young here. Always dreamed of retiring and growing my own. Been doing that for 12 years now and enjoying always having 8 or more strains to choose from everyday. Enjoying my first day of your show, thanks and enjoy life!
I was thrilled to see rasta jeff on DGC today. I ordered free seeds from Jeff provided for veterans. I was shocked to receive the entire "Golden Girls" collection, plus "After Glow." Shoot out Rasta Jeff, I am sincerely grateful .
Florida. I've been growin for 3yrs in my bedroom. I have a weed card but I grow better weed. So I haven't been to dispensaries in at least 2 years . Prop 3 or no..I'm still gonna grow!
@@jafaralamin7540 word of a advice keep that to yourself if you wanna stay safe. I was growing a state that didn’t go rec for a long time and reason I was able to do it successfully was keeping my lips sealed
I grew better weed than what my plug was getting at the time and he even gave it an 8 out of 10. I grew a few in a 10 gal tank in a tiny cup got as big as my hand but I purposely did a bonsai style even got a wood trunk at that size.
@spfein not true my friend, I grew yrs San Diego.. most winter nights in San Diego are cold as hell for plants. The rain took a toll too but for yrs I grew em outside all year long.
I got a license to grow a few years ago. My first indoor grow I was in a hurry so I flipped my light cycle to 12/12 after 30 days from putting them in their 5 gallon pots filled with ocean forest soil and a few secret additives. I got 3-4 oz's from each plant...and it was better than 90% of what's available at the dispensaries ! I still flip to flower after 6 weeks max in vegative cycle. I get 8-12 ozs dried from each plant. I think I'll stick to what's working as I am limited to 6 plants in flower 6 in veg. And 6 starts at any given time !
So, just to clarify, the article on no veg you guys mentioned misquoted the original press release. It is no veg with clones, not seeds. Let me know if you want to know more.❤
Almost two years ago I tried what I called a "Runt Run." I grew photo clones with no veg cycle. It took about 3.5 weeks to see it start to bud. They were definitely smaller, but they didn't yield that much less for the time, nutes, electric and work. I did train them better knowing I didn't have as much time. Now I only grow 2 of the wife's fav photos. Two of my favorite photos and the other 8 are autos. LOVE MY ACI PRODUCTS! Paired with the Ecowitt Soil Moisture Sensors makes it a no brainier. I like to use Perlite in my coco, but only about 15%. Reuse my media, use RO and a reputable nute brand for the cleanest stash possible,. I found that the packs of edibles that are bold enough to use actual name brands are bold enough to throw just about anything in them.

I mimic nature since a few years now indoor! Starting with 14 hours of light at 30% since it's usually mid April that seeds start to sprout naturally outdoor...then I veg so mid April to the third week of July in 8 weeks so I increase hours and intensity according to this calculation...so 18h and full blast 2 weeks before stretch then 13/11 during stretch and the 4 first weeks of flowering then I start to decrease time and intensity to finish at 30% and 10/14...I use IR to induce sleep 10mn before lights off and 10mn after!
@@geo_neo9 this is a great way to do it. Do you think at the end of bloom that there should be a fairly quick drop off of intensity and temp? Maybe an adjustment of the light mixture?
@@MrsRabbit8 I just like to please the ladies lol 😂 by giving them what they like from how the sun naturally works. The usual way people do it is sudden mass drop off ie 18 to 12 rather than steady slow drop of light. Then once I slowly get down to 12 hours I leave it at 12 hours for a few weeks then I start to drop down from 12 to approximately 8 hours or so at the end. It works a treat n save lots of power.
All u need is 18-6 max ur plants need that few hours of dark to rest smh think about u staying awake 24/7 I've did it all pretty much n best to let em chill a few hours but plants will thank u
I did that once. Popped a seed and grew it on 12/12. Let it grow through the net and that plant grew about 3 foot tall. Pulled just shy of 2 oz from it.
I figured this out all on my own. I put feminized seeds into the dirt and under 12 hours of light right from the get-go, and about 90 days later I have lots of sweet buds to harvest. I started my winter indoor row on September 18th and now as of December 14th, everything is nearly ready to harvest.
Feeliing Irie thanks to Jeff. I can never afford quality genetics and am constantly running out of my much needed medicine. My tiny grow will carry on for the next year. So far "Sophia," is a beast! Irie genetics for me...100%
I was always under the impression indicas tended to have more amber trichomes before everything was 100% milky white, you'd still have some glassy trichs as it would just generally have more amber trichomes when fully mature. Now with the CBN information, it would seem to kind of seem exactly that indica mature at a different rate when speaking the baseline difference. Short stout flower faster and Sativa longer flowering times can be quite lengthy etc.
@@NGT4LIFE I'm slightly confused by your statement. If I have a 10-12 week flowering plant if I trigger the plant to flower with a 12-12 enhanced deep red 660nm from the seed on the same day start a previous 4wk vegged plant they should finish about the same time unless the seed plant can be triggered before reaching it's teenage years.
@NGT4LIFE I went to a vacant house where a pot head use to sit on his porch and roll and throw the seeds in the dirt. I saw plants 3 inches tall budding.
The original comment is correct when grown from a seed the plant will not enter the flower stage until it reaches a certain level of maturity. This is strain dependent and even depends of the specific plant. I have attempted to flower plants that were only a week or two old and they did not start to flower even with 11-13 light schedule. It took a few extra weeks for them to mature a little then they started flowering while the other plants started flowering like normal. They were a few weeks behind the entire time. Now I have also done this with a clone and the with flower due to the fact they are older plants as long s they are well rooted. If they are not rooted they will not flower until the roots are able to support the flowering process.
@@NGT4LIFE If a seed pops outdoors, late in the year when the day is already getting shorter, they'll do everything they can to reproduce. And they'll go into flower at 2-3 weeks if not sooner. And you'll have a plant that's 3" tall with a little nugget on top. I've seen it personally.
In the last 12 to 14 years of growing I have found the longer you veg the bigger the top buds are in the far more yield you get in the far higher quality the hot words are. If you cut even 3 weeks off your badge you're destroying your yields. Iowa veg anywhere from 2 to 3+ months. Until they are high enough to where I can flower them and only have to super crop the biggest of the plants. In October 24 i got a new HLG Scorpion Diablo X and the UVB bulb.
After my first grow blueberry kush,, experiencing spider mite,and learning to get rid of them by a youtube video,was so smooth,i can just imagine ,what we be consuming ,i stand on a wash no matter where its grown.... Thank you fellas for all your knowledge and experience...
I just completed a coco organic grow with Gaea green and worm casting and supplemental homemade cal mag and flower fermented juice in 2 gallon fabric pots. Amazing results for such little pots. The tent contained 12 plants. Watering every 2 days plentifully. Ill have to try without the vedge time!
@@orgicell hey, I use Gaia Green as well strongly agree. I use NPK Raw powder cal-mag with worm castings. Get that potassium on tips n edges bout 4-5 week of veg. Mr. Canuck uses 2.8.4. just a little when feeding only 444. But I found that using 284, worm castings with some 444 for a tea sorts it out as well for faster healing. But haven't done fermented juices. Normally I just have potassium issues while growing with Gaia green. Love the water only method.
I've run small plants and it takes way more labor for everything. 4 rooms 960 plants per room. Vs 48 plants. Having less bigger plants was way easier and had more consistent yields
I ran zero veg time single cola perpetual harvest for 12 years. It is the way to go for small indoor grows. Great yield, zero larf, easier to trim. But plant count will go through the roof. Got busted with 3k plants in 2020
bro just grow autoflowers at that point. can easily pull 8 plus Oz per plant, within 11 weeks from seed to harvest. fast buds, tastebudz and royal queen seeds have incredible autoflower genetics
@ cloning was always way easier and reliable than popping beans. And I had awesome photoperiod genetics. Wouldn’t wanna pop hundreds of beans a week, and they’re so fragile at the seedling stage. My setup worked well for me.
Im growing Golden Tiger and i flip directly off germination. You can take clones during flower id say until week 6. I thought the term is monster cropping but check on that. You can also run strains on 11/13 which will save you some $ at the end of the year. Plants dont require a lot of light the first week of transition so i put them in front of my finishing tent to get decent light on 12/12 the first week. This allows a free week of light power plus a jump start on the next crop saving 12.5% of time during transition. I also put the plants in dark for 36hrs on the day of flip to reduce stretching and increase homone production. The issue with what i call the popsical tek is that it takes a couple of weeks for from germ to sex a plant. So ideally that extra off time is not doing anything since they cannot sex until the 3rd node i thought. Therefore the exra bulking with the lights may be worth it. Now light intensity and duration is something to try. Plants wiill sex with low levels of light so will that help running low light intensity during the night cycle? And during the bud bulking stage, would adding another hr 13/12 help bulk and then try 10/14 after the bulking has stopped.
Organic isn’t just a buzzword boys!For consumers, organic certification offers assurance regarding the methods used in cultivation, promoting transparency and trust in food and cannabis products.
@@TalanS8 it’s definitely just a buzzword. Science has already proven the plant can’t tell a difference between organic and synthetic. Unless you’re a POS and using pgr or harmful insecticide there isn’t any difference.
LOL we got a dude that works at the local Hip brewpub that has a dread beard that hangs down past his belt. Longest beard I've ever seen, mine only reaches just below my sternum.
When I grew for money I would just have the light come on for a few minutes in the middle of the dark cycle. I would pull the pins and start flower. I figured my power bill would look less suspicious and save money.
I recycle my soil as well with rice hulls in the bottom half of my pot, craft blend (BAS) and Flower girl (Dr. earth) in the top half. I am on my 5th cycle in 10 gals...no issues besides a lil magnisium def. Epsum salt clears that up quickly.
If you have a permanent cycle.. like me. Harvest a room a week. 220lb average every week. Clean and reloed the room every week, there’s no down time and minimal labor cost
You guys are cool. Im here, subbed and stoned. Rockwool is alk in nature adjust the ph of your application accordingly keeping in mind the shift in ph towards acid and find that groove.
11:50 ...I'm starting a breeding program and here in OhighO we can have 12 plants. My plans were to pheno hunt through my genetics and make the crosses as I find them ....winners go to the seed vault , the losers go to the bowl. Collect pollen from any males I like or from any reversals I make. Just because I'm working with a 3x3 and a 2x2 doesn't mean I shouldn't try it , I just understand it's gonna be slower than if I had 3800sq ft.....
Crazy how far weed has come,back in 96 had to catch ride to mall to read high times magazine for tips,wasn't even old enough to buy it. Most was learned by experience and experimentation. Nowadays everything's learned from internet,some people will never know the struggle of the old days,but would give anything to be back in the 80's and 90's,world was slower but people were more genuine and stood on their words and priciples. The end
Recently lost a full basement run due to unforseen circumstances. 😔 Haven't been keeping up w the episodes but I'm back with a vengeance now and very glad to catch this episode ✊️🤙
Oh man sorry for you 😮 I just keep getting this one or two Pollen Sacks in nearly any fem. Genetics... I like to finde some that tastes, hits, yields good and do not go balls out, i hate it! Last 7 plants different cultivars was that hermie trash... I think Seeds from EU suck pretty hard... Most people just not see hermie signs, even some of the biggest breeder... You need to train you eye to see that, also you need to watch all over the plant with strong Light! Great Show guys!😊
@MegaBadaboom88 Train what eye? I've been running rooms since 2002 The circumstances I mentioned don't have anything to do with your point. But I thank you for your concerns and reaching out. Let us all keep prospering my fellow Growers ✊️
@MegaBadaboom88 Guy. Stop commenting. What I mentioned has NOTHING to do with the plants themselves. I had to close up shop for other reasons. Please drop it. Thank you.
Always use the clay balls and the rock wool on the clones and have the watering cycle set for 5 minutes every hour while the lights were on turn the AC set to 69 in the room
I am experimenting currently with indoor auto flower in a closed loop system with CO2 bottle. 22\2 light cycle. Opposite of energy saving . I am hoping for 60days to harvest with a decent yield... So far so good day25.
I have cloned buds ready to harvest. I was trying to save a strain. 10% of my clones made it. These days, with the ability to get strains, from cultivars to house in 1 week, there is little need to go to such extremes. Nice to know it is possible. Test your skills, try it sometime.
Probably worth trying to reveg the donor plant as well as striking cuttings if you leave it that late wit a keeper. Trim back to the lowest few buds and put it back under veg light regimen. It can take a while but it's already rooted so it stands a better chance. Early weird looking growth soon reverts back to normal when it gets going.
I got 2 different kinds of Kush growing right now in a 12 12 cycle from start and they're about 16 inches tall and have nice buds growing and they gave me 4.5 weeks before I got any flowering and now they're just starting the 13th week of flower and they are going to be some of the best I've grown yet it's all in the way you feed and low stress training and how you treat each plant that gets you the best flowers
Will this straight to flower on 12 hour cycle work on autos or just photoperiod plants. Thank you and great video. Never no bro science with all of you dudes. From Rochester, NY
You could be asking how autos work, as their actual behaviour makes this question moot. To answer, autos should be unaffected, unless there are anomalous phenotypes.
@@heywoodjablome5630 buddy I do know how autos work since I have grown over 100 plants. Yes I know that they are not affected by light cycle. I really wanted to know if you start off with a 12/12 cycle if the plant would have the structure to go into flower and still produce decent. Remember that NO ONE is an expert ok, we are always learning Boss.
@@SilentScreamsStudios understood. Now, if you increase light intensity you can achieve the same DLI as a longer day cycle. Growth is dependant on total photons received, but you might have to manage temperature and CO2 to get there with 12/12. I'm still learning too.
It just depends on how big you want your plant. The bud is pretty similar. If you veg long enough, the plant gets a big think stem. A stem an inch thick will throw a lot of bud.
I did this something like 20 years ago, then I found autoflower plants and have been experimenting with them ever since. I do still grow photos outside but not indoors anymore.
I can see this method being feasible for growing A LOT of plants in a smaller area or commercial but for the full potential, overall plant maturity, overall quantity Id rather grow Biggins 😂
Ive just broken up old rockwool cubes and just added them to soil. You can always use your ols soil in flower beds or gardens. If its good enough to use for your erb there should be no problem using it for vegetables. Believe it or not myko loves rockwool. Ive used chunks of rockwool loaded with mycorrhiza and saprophytic fungus and inoculated my compost tea.
You may be saving money skipping veg, but you would also need to either breed your own seeds or it would become very expensive just popping that many seeds. Def a fun thing to experiment with, but more a trial idea for me.
I ate a whole pack of em. I had to lay down. My favorite gummy is sour patch kids. I had StoneyPatchKids. I also have A.D.D. Before i realized what i had done, i had finished All 10 and the sugar in the corner. It would have been really bad if i wasnt an all day user for 28 yrs😂 but its not gonna kill you. LAY DOWN😊
I had a plant vegging outdoor for the hole summer, for like 3 months. And then i got her indoor to flower and it turned out great. Massiv buds, great smell. Low energy cost.
@JahWillBlessKwaz yes i had some aphids, but i had them also in only indoor grows 🤷. That is of course always a risk with this typ of grow but i will do it again next summer.
Lost Coast Plant Wash worked very good for powdery mildew on my indoor and outdoor plants. Though I bought it to combat powdery mildew I got the bonus my outdoor being bug free all summer after I got it. Spendy but this stuff is good stuff and it's human safe!
@@Virginiagrows-d8y Sad to hear that. That has not been my experience. I kept a close eye on that and never seen any damage to the glands. Nothing ever seemed amiss with my trichomes but I did burn some plants first time out mixing it too strong.
As the marijuana community it is our responsibility to get this information out. People are dying, people are getting sick. There is yet to be a fatality from cannabis. People need to know the difference between actual cannabis an hemp altered products before another stigma has been created.
Good show God bless you guys and arsenic in rice shells not a product I would want in a grow especially organic or synthetic even silica I heard bad stuff from or even cancer causing element in humans too.
"fungus gnats" Fungus gnats don't exist. Well. Not for long since I discovered Mosquito Bits. 🙂 I'm actually trying to encourage fungus gnats in my houseplants now as I bought some carnivorous plants to deal with the ones in my weed grow. They no longer exist. 🙂
Rice hulls break down. Which has benefits but needs replacement, very tricky to do in a no till. Pumice/lava rock lasts even biochar will provide a little aeration.
I always thought a good business idea would be to have a (peat) rootball pickup business. You could charge a nominal fee to pick them up, boil them, separate from the roots and resell/reuse the media.

@@NGT4LIFE If a seed pops outdoors, late in the year when the day is already getting shorter, they'll do everything they can to reproduce. And they'll go into flower at 2-3 weeks if not sooner. And you'll have a plant that's 3" tall with a little nugget on top. I've seen it personally.
In the last 12 to 14 years of growing I have found the longer you veg the bigger the top buds are in the far more yield you get in the far higher quality the hot words are. If you cut even 3 weeks off your badge you're destroying your yields. Iowa veg anywhere from 2 to 3+ months. Until they are high enough to where I can flower them and only have to super crop the biggest of the plants. In October 24 i got a new HLG Scorpion Diablo X and the UVB bulb.
After my first grow blueberry kush,, experiencing spider mite,and learning to get rid of them by a youtube video,was so smooth,i can just imagine ,what we be consuming ,i stand on a wash no matter where its grown....
Thank you fellas for all your knowledge and experience...
Appreciate you BD 💪😁🔥
Its the vegas phunk Jeff, convinced its embedded in Las Vegas, gets me every year too 😂
Loved the old school dgc intro song took me back
Finally the merging of the comedy that I watch in the cannabis world that I am in
The Skanks are everywhere brother
“I don’t smoke necessarily right before I go to bed” had me crying like fr the gas left my system in 15 minutes
Running that "burst " strain now it's fire
I just completed a coco organic grow with Gaea green and worm casting and supplemental homemade cal mag and flower fermented juice in 2 gallon fabric pots. Amazing results for such little pots. The tent contained 12 plants. Watering every 2 days plentifully. Ill have to try without the vedge time!
@@orgicell hey, I use Gaia Green as well strongly agree. I use NPK Raw powder cal-mag with worm castings. Get that potassium on tips n edges bout 4-5 week of veg. Mr. Canuck uses 2.8.4. just a little when feeding only 444. But I found that using 284, worm castings with some 444 for a tea sorts it out as well for faster healing. But haven't done fermented juices. Normally I just have potassium issues while growing with Gaia green. Love the water only method.
I've run small plants and it takes way more labor for everything. 4 rooms 960 plants per room. Vs 48 plants. Having less bigger plants was way easier and had more consistent yields
I ran zero veg time single cola perpetual harvest for 12 years. It is the way to go for small indoor grows. Great yield, zero larf, easier to trim. But plant count will go through the roof. Got busted with 3k plants in 2020
I think at 3k you might need a different descriptor than "small indoor grow" 🤣
Yes just small 3000 😂😂😂
@ exactly. But still. Even at 20g/ea it’s great and best quality by far focusing it all on one cola
bro just grow autoflowers at that point. can easily pull 8 plus Oz per plant, within 11 weeks from seed to harvest. fast buds, tastebudz and royal queen seeds have incredible autoflower genetics
@ cloning was always way easier and reliable than popping beans. And I had awesome photoperiod genetics.
Wouldn’t wanna pop hundreds of beans a week, and they’re so fragile at the seedling stage. My setup worked well for me.
Im growing Golden Tiger and i flip directly off germination. You can take clones during flower id say until week 6. I thought the term is monster cropping but check on that. You can also run strains on 11/13 which will save you some $ at the end of the year. Plants dont require a lot of light the first week of transition so i put them in front of my finishing tent to get decent light on 12/12 the first week. This allows a free week of light power plus a jump start on the next crop saving 12.5% of time during transition. I also put the plants in dark for 36hrs on the day of flip to reduce stretching and increase homone production. The issue with what i call the popsical tek is that it takes a couple of weeks for from germ to sex a plant. So ideally that extra off time is not doing anything since they cannot sex until the 3rd node i thought. Therefore the exra bulking with the lights may be worth it. Now light intensity and duration is something to try. Plants wiill sex with low levels of light so will that help running low light intensity during the night cycle? And during the bud bulking stage, would adding another hr 13/12 help bulk and then try 10/14 after the bulking has stopped.
I haven't "18/6" in a long time. I practice "12+1"
Organic isn’t just a buzzword boys!For consumers, organic certification offers assurance regarding the methods used in cultivation, promoting transparency and trust in food and cannabis products.
@@TalanS8 it’s definitely just a buzzword. Science has already proven the plant can’t tell a difference between organic and synthetic. Unless you’re a POS and using pgr or harmful insecticide there isn’t any difference.
I love it tell people stuff they don't listen but then a bigger channel takes the info for there content.
Yessss! A new episode!
LOL we got a dude that works at the local Hip brewpub that has a dread beard that hangs down past his belt. Longest beard I've ever seen, mine only reaches just below my sternum.
Yeah great if you want commercial, mass produced stuff. If you want boutique you'll veg and put some love into it.
When I grew for money I would just have the light come on for a few minutes in the middle of the dark cycle. I would pull the pins and start flower. I figured my power bill would look less suspicious and save money.
Being 6'7 with long loss..ppl always want me to dress up as Avatar🤷🏽♂️
I recycle my dirt and throw away root mass amend Lyme and re rock it lots of perlite buildup inches of worm castings
I recycle my soil as well with rice hulls in the bottom half of my pot, craft blend (BAS) and Flower girl (Dr. earth) in the top half. I am on my 5th cycle in 10 gals...no issues besides a lil magnisium def. Epsum salt clears that up quickly.
If you have a permanent cycle.. like me. Harvest a room a week. 220lb average every week. Clean and reloed the room every week, there’s no down time and minimal labor cost
Great show guys...
You guys are cool. Im here, subbed and stoned. Rockwool is alk in nature adjust the ph of your application accordingly keeping in mind the shift in ph towards acid and find that groove.
11:50 ...I'm starting a breeding program and here in OhighO we can have 12 plants. My plans were to pheno hunt through my genetics and make the crosses as I find them ....winners go to the seed vault , the losers go to the bowl. Collect pollen from any males I like or from any reversals I make. Just because I'm working with a 3x3 and a 2x2 doesn't mean I shouldn't try it , I just understand it's gonna be slower than if I had 3800sq ft.....
I ways liked bigger plants, outdoor grower. High Times, June 1988,Bud Of The Month.Thats my arm.😊
Crazy how far weed has come,back in 96 had to catch ride to mall to read high times magazine for tips,wasn't even old enough to buy it. Most was learned by experience and experimentation. Nowadays everything's learned from internet,some people will never know the struggle of the old days,but would give anything to be back in the 80's and 90's,world was slower but people were more genuine and stood on their words and priciples. The end
HAHAHA DEAD WHEN JEFF SAID “I GOTTA CALL MY MOM” too high along time ago lol
Cool drawing ! Sup my fellow Americans 🤙🏽
Typical American who thinks youtube is only 4 yanks.
It would be interesting to hear from people that grow outdoors at the equator.
Mostly 12- 20+ week flowers in that area.
People growing the cultivars you are thinking about do not exist there.
Running a few Irie strains right now, everything is top notch! ✌🏼❤️💨
Bring your old soil to a Vegetable gardener no waist going to good use
Thx you all for liking coment
Recently lost a full basement run due to unforseen circumstances. 😔 Haven't been keeping up w the episodes but I'm back with a vengeance now and very glad to catch this episode ✊️🤙
Oh man sorry for you 😮
I just keep getting this one or two Pollen Sacks in nearly any fem. Genetics...
I like to finde some that tastes, hits, yields good and do not go balls out, i hate it! Last 7 plants different cultivars was that hermie trash...
I think Seeds from EU suck pretty hard...
Most people just not see hermie signs, even some of the biggest breeder...
You need to train you eye to see that, also you need to watch all over the plant with strong Light!
Great Show guys!😊
@MegaBadaboom88 Train what eye? I've been running rooms since 2002 The circumstances I mentioned don't have anything to do with your point. But I thank you for your concerns and reaching out. Let us all keep prospering my fellow Growers ✊️
@@josephmayer763 your eyes need to be trained like AI to catch and see those stupid hermie plants 🙉🙈😜🤣🦧🤘🤙
@MegaBadaboom88 Guy. Stop commenting. What I mentioned has NOTHING to do with the plants themselves. I had to close up shop for other reasons. Please drop it. Thank you.
Always use the clay balls and the rock wool on the clones and have the watering cycle set for 5 minutes every hour while the lights were on turn the AC set to 69 in the room
Awesome show!! So much info and insight!!
Best show in awhile...I love Irie Genetics... growing congo ripper now....!!!
Great Show, Thank you
I am experimenting currently with indoor auto flower in a closed loop system with CO2 bottle. 22\2 light cycle. Opposite of energy saving . I am hoping for 60days to harvest with a decent yield... So far so good day25.
My man is working with Wingsuit ! That's awesome Jeff . God bless , and peace to all
They don't claim to giving anything more than differing opinions take it or leave it
dont need a veg cycle just like you dont need a quality camera
thx for the tipp soon as my grow is finished i will try that
I have cloned buds ready to harvest. I was trying to save a strain. 10% of my clones made it. These days, with the ability to get strains, from cultivars to house in 1 week, there is little need to go to such extremes. Nice to know it is possible. Test your skills, try it sometime.
Probably worth trying to reveg the donor plant as well as striking cuttings if you leave it that late wit a keeper.
Trim back to the lowest few buds and put it back under veg light regimen.
It can take a while but it's already rooted so it stands a better chance.
Early weird looking growth soon reverts back to normal when it gets going.
Kelp and seaweed can also have some arsenic in them!
One of my favorite strains that I've made took 400 beans over 6 years to hunt.
The longer flowering stuff should be cut back every week. So it finishes at the same height as your smaller strains
Whoa!!! It’s been a while!!! But I always think about you guys. Much love.
Respect 🤘 😁 👍
I got 2 different kinds of Kush growing right now in a 12 12 cycle from start and they're about 16 inches tall and have nice buds growing and they gave me 4.5 weeks before I got any flowering and now they're just starting the 13th week of flower and they are going to be some of the best I've grown yet it's all in the way you feed and low stress training and how you treat each plant that gets you the best flowers
bro just run autoflowers at that point.
Will this straight to flower on 12 hour cycle work on autos or just photoperiod plants. Thank you and great video. Never no bro science with all of you dudes. From Rochester, NY
You could be asking how autos work, as their actual behaviour makes this question moot.
To answer, autos should be unaffected, unless there are anomalous phenotypes.
@@heywoodjablome5630 It will work on autos, just smaller yeilds and quality. autos love light.
@@heywoodjablome5630 buddy I do know how autos work since I have grown over 100 plants. Yes I know that they are not affected by light cycle. I really wanted to know if you start off with a 12/12 cycle if the plant would have the structure to go into flower and still produce decent. Remember that NO ONE is an expert ok, we are always learning Boss.
@@SilentScreamsStudios understood. Now, if you increase light intensity you can achieve the same DLI as a longer day cycle. Growth is dependant on total photons received, but you might have to manage temperature and CO2 to get there with 12/12.
I'm still learning too.
It just depends on how big you want your plant.
The bud is pretty similar.
If you veg long enough, the plant gets a big think stem.
A stem an inch thick will throw a lot of bud.
I did this something like 20 years ago, then I found autoflower plants and have been experimenting with them ever since. I do still grow photos outside but not indoors anymore.
I can see this method being feasible for growing A LOT of plants in a smaller area or commercial but for the full potential, overall plant maturity, overall quantity Id rather grow Biggins 😂
Ive just broken up old rockwool cubes and just added them to soil. You can always use your ols soil in flower beds or gardens. If its good enough to use for your erb there should be no problem using it for vegetables. Believe it or not myko loves rockwool. Ive used chunks of rockwool loaded with mycorrhiza and saprophytic fungus and inoculated my compost tea.
I totally skipped the veg cycle on a sativa and an indica strain, they both are turning out beautifully, and my light bill is loving it
You may be saving money skipping veg, but you would also need to either breed your own seeds or it would become very expensive just popping that many seeds. Def a fun thing to experiment with, but more a trial idea for me.
I ate a whole pack of em. I had to lay down.
My favorite gummy is sour patch kids.
I had StoneyPatchKids.
I also have A.D.D.
Before i realized what i had done, i had finished All 10 and the sugar in the corner. It would have been really bad if i wasnt an all day user for 28 yrs😂 but its not gonna kill you. LAY DOWN😊
Be sure to watch the Grow From Your Heart podcast with Rasta Jeff!
I had a plant vegging outdoor for the hole summer, for like 3 months. And then i got her indoor to flower and it turned out great. Massiv buds, great smell. Low energy cost.
Any problems with bugs after you brought it in?
@JahWillBlessKwaz yes i had some aphids, but i had them also in only indoor grows 🤷. That is of course always a risk with this typ of grow but i will do it again next summer.
I've trimmed and had two flowers in a 12 hr light cycle myself half ass growing a single plant, she looked healthy asf though
Lost Coast Plant Wash worked very good for powdery mildew on my indoor and outdoor plants. Though I bought it to combat powdery mildew I got the bonus my outdoor being bug free all summer after I got it. Spendy but this stuff is good stuff and it's human safe!
@@Shamustodd1 Lost Coast ruined my trichomes.
@@Virginiagrows-d8y Sad to hear that. That has not been my experience. I kept a close eye on that and never seen any damage to the glands. Nothing ever seemed amiss with my trichomes but I did burn some plants first time out mixing it too strong.
In Jamaica, plants usually have a natural ~12 hour light cycle
It seems I never hear much bout vivosun.. it's what I ended up first trying and I kinda like how well it works
the rez beef jerky comment had me in stitches! I love the rez stores in BC.
As the marijuana community it is our responsibility to get this information out. People are dying, people are getting sick.
There is yet to be a fatality from cannabis.
People need to know the difference between actual cannabis an hemp altered products before another stigma has been created.
Hey Jeff I just purchased some of your Table seeds! Can't wait for the surpise strains!
You can plant outdoors in August, and get flowers here. It'll squeeze the time down to a month less.
Sup GROWMIES 🙌🙌
Good show God bless you guys and arsenic in rice shells not a product I would want in a grow especially organic or synthetic even silica I heard bad stuff from or even cancer causing element in humans too.
Thats great info for outdoor growers with around 12 hrs of daylight all year round... me 😅
Rice hulls provide silica, but also feed fungus gnats. You need a layer of soil without rice hulls on top.
"fungus gnats"
Fungus gnats don't exist.
Well. Not for long since I discovered Mosquito Bits. 🙂
I'm actually trying to encourage fungus gnats in my houseplants now as I bought some carnivorous plants to deal with the ones in my weed grow.
They no longer exist. 🙂
Rice hulls break down. Which has benefits but needs replacement, very tricky to do in a no till. Pumice/lava rock lasts even biochar will provide a little aeration.
Look up Flora Flex’s Burn & Turn schedule. It's a system they built with their nutrient line to remove most or all of the Veg cycle
I always thought a good business idea would be to have a (peat) rootball pickup business.
You could charge a nominal fee to pick them up, boil them, separate from the roots and resell/reuse the media.
