Don't Plant Your Cannabis Until YOU Know THIS About Soil and Growing Media

I'm getting staggering results growing peppers , tomatoes, lettuce and cannabis using ebb and flow... MasterBlend for the win!

Soil & Coco mix.. but recently I put them on a heated mattress topper from amazon and warmed the medium up 24/7 and they are loving life.. can see a huge spurt in growth everyday all organic Gaia Green.. Definitely making a massive difference warming the medium. .

Really love promix hp with 20% perlite addition. I have done soil and coco/perlite. So far promix is my favorite. I have a tub of subcool supersoil cooking now so maybe that will make me fall back in love with soil.

Started with soil nearly 40 years ago. Switched to DWC (deep water culture) 20 years ago and haven't looked back. I'm just a guy that grows a few plants a year. I can't think of an easier way to get your own supply of great product. Just like you stated, 2 or 3 5-gallon systems. The only thing I monitor is pH. I don't cool my solution, it is what it is. They also don't share solution. Each unit is self contained. I do have a big air pump to run 6 stones, 2 per bucket. Run an in-line fan for ventilation, that's it. You do need to look at the plants daily. I've not had an air pump fail but that would be catastrophic. Using the same ballasts as 40 years ago, too. I know lights have come a long way, but as long as they are still working, what the heck. This hobby can be as simple or complicated as you like.

I use 5yr old 10 gallon living soil fabric pots. Been growing the dank ever since.:trophy-yellow-smiling::trophy-yellow-smiling::trophy-yellow-smiling:

Great stuff! Learning every time I watch a video. Can't wait for spring 🌱.

Soil made especially for cannibus produces the highest quality buds. Build a soil in Colorado is the company that helped me the most.

Lots of really great information! I use organic fertilizer at planting time and feed synthetic throughout the season . Over my 30 plus years of gardening I find I like using both together. I tried tons of gardening styles over the years my favorite is row crops where I get to play on my antique tractor [lots of weeding though] . The Back to Eden style is nice as well it's pretty much plant it and forget it . I don't really care for pots or raised beds for all the watering that has to be done but I do them anyway. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!

I'm using $ store organic potting soil with a bit more perlite and worm castings. Been working perfectly for years

I listen to everything you say and take it to heart. Thanks Raoul

Been growing in soil for a few years now, have just switched to coco and running the CX line of nutrients, the first three weeks of vege have been very impressive - vigorous healthy growth so far!!

I am notorious at overwatering. I have never quite lost a plant, but my first half dozen grows were far from peak potential. The last several years I have been using SIPs and have finally been able to get great results. I am only set up for a 3x3 but I can still produce enough medicine for myself with enough left over to share with 2 of my sons. It's almost too simple. The hardest part is setting up the boxes, but Jermey over at BuildASoil has a great tutorial that works every time. After the initial setup, I just set my timer and fill the 3-gallon reservoir once or twice per week. That is all. Just plain tap water. I use 2 Earthboxes and can grow a pound of flower every 12 weeks with a top dress between grows.

Since I use drip irrigation I've moved to Cocoa but sometimes I still run Happy Frog with Organic amendments and I always run two 5 gallon dwc buckets cuz that how started 14 years ago and its fun to see the dif between coco dwc soil under

10 gallon fabric...Happy frog on top...Strawberry Fields on bottom. 4th week of flower...so far...lookin good!

I love my Pro-Mix. I'm never going to stop!

Sunshine mix #4(peat moss, perlite) , i add 50% vermiculite or about 1cf to each bale with mykos.

Dwc here and I love it

Do an episode with one medium and how to grow specifically in it. At least several!

I’ve never heard of FFOF being a water only soil. It needs to be amended after 3-4 weeks. It will carry most plants through veg but never have I ever heard OF being water only throughout.

My first real grow was hydroponic in kitty litter buckets. I grew 2 NLxBB autos with great success. I took a few years off from growing, and now I'm 3 weeks into a coco grow with 3 seeds I found in dispo weed. I dont remember the strain. The other day, I stumbled onto this channel and learned about buffering my coco prior to potting. Here's to hoping I have success down the road I started them in unbuffered coco and added calmag with every feeding. I just potted them in 2 gal with buffered coco I mixed myself.
