thumbs up for "smelly vag"

Diatomaceous earth as a top dressing. 40% available organic silica and 15% calcium, 2% iron and trace minerals. Cheap easy works!
Oyster shells can be bought at Farm supply stores. Farmers feed them to chickens so their egg shells are thicker and harder.
Yeah, someone else mentioned that too. We should have farm supply stores, we're surrounded in farming towns.
@@420scene if you eat eggs just save the shells compost them or crush them up and dry them 👍
Takes about a hundred years for any benefits@@treebeard8475
I believe their not as water soluble in that form though
@LAndOfAngelsClothing you are correct. Egg shells and oyster shells are a "long game" solution. The are good in your computer pile.
Hey man, try their Insect Frass as well. Works great in veg plus since it is insect stuffs it triggers the plants natural defenses and help ward off pests and during flower helps with trichome production for more protection.
I use a variety of their products and absolutely love them. Cost effective and versatile.. teas, top dressings, amending super soil; I even use their kelp and neem products in my foliar spray to ward off fungal gnats. Absolutely love them and have never had any issues. Affordable and mostly sustainable. Great video, dude!
Nice reminder of the Down to Earth products. Many years ago Subcool taught us about using these products in his super soil recipe. R.I.P Subcool! Keep up the info videos thanks for your time you put into teaching others.
Awesome job and keep growing. I'm following you and taking steps to make my ocean forest grow at it's very best. I have a feeling I'll do pretty good for this one. Thanks bud I'll be signing up for sure.
Down to Earth is a great brand and they have practically anything you’d need for your grow. Made a great super soil for my auto flowers using their line.
Is there any type of flush that needs to happen with these? Can't the soil keep getting reused, blended with new mix?
Yeah man, I was surprised at how much great products they got, great company indeed.
@@plantlove5257 what he said
@@LecheFilms my local has a wall of their products. Gonna have to send it. Thanks gentlemen 🙏🌴🌻💯🤙
@@plantlove5257 Great thing about growing organically is that NO FLUSH is really necessary! You can if you’d like a more apparent fade but it’s not needed.
I love down to earth dry amendments. I've been using them for year's. I mainly too dress. I make teas once in a while with them but I bought the boogey brew compost tea bundle and it's worked great for me. I love how there are so many ways to get nutrients to the plants wether it's synthetic or organic. Appreciate the video's brother 👊
Boogey brew is mostly down to earth products.
Thanks...great video!!I'm about to order...for this next grow...glad on recomendations.
You're welcome Harry.
good vid heard of down to earth from peeps but never tried it. I trust your recommendation. keep makin them fire vids
Yeah, DTE rocks.
Can't wait to see the dwc garden! I'm sure staying on top of ph drift will be the biggest challenge. Otherwise fairly straightforward. Great vids bro!!!!
I was stuck between down to earth and Dr Earth. Went for the Dr Earth base and bloom because it was easy and I'm still learning all the right ratios of meals and blends and such. Good stuff mane!
As long as it's working out for you bro. I heard good stuff about Dr. Earth.
Love Down to Earth products too. Really good stuff. They have it all. Just stocked up on more of the Alfala, Kelp, Oyster and their Granular Mycorrhizal with Beneficial Bacteria 8oz and the Soluble Root Zone Mycorhizal with the bene bacteria. Reloaded and Ready in RVA! Keep the videos coming! Have picked up tons of tips watching your stuff man!
D2E all day brother great job with video and camera is lookin sharp keep up the good work happy growin buddy!
I didn’t get to do the banana tea, but used the compost tea and it might have saved my garden. They are loving it! 💚Been using DTE, I burned a few up last go round when I used bottled. 👍 thanks for the helpful content.
Glad your plants dig my compost tea recipe. It's totally killer stuff.
Looking forward to following the hydro grow. I’ve only attempted to grow in soil, so maybe your grow will change my mind. Best of luck man.
Thanks man, if I mess up the hydro grow all well. I'm gonna try my best and maybe we can do DWC together.
Hydro all taste the same !!! If u want salt in ur Bud just sprinkle table salt on it cheaper then all the nutes
I love their 4-4-4 vegetable mix as well!
Man, I'm just about to get this line for my next grow. Thanks for the reviews. I been watching you alot lately man. Really having fun. I'm gonna be a patron soon, just need some time to get my next grow straight. See you again soon
Oh yeah, definitely a thumbs up on that hydro grow. I think it would be really interesting
@@kaseyreid8501 It would be. I'm gonna run the super soil for a few plants and I'm also gonna do hydro and see how it goes. If I mess up, all well.
Excited for your next grow!! Yay!
It's gonna be fun no doubt.
Thanks for the attention to Down To Earth !
Been using it for years, I use it many ways. For the past few years I’ve been adding a number of DTE ingredients into my compost tumblers and letting them cook along with the rest of the compost.
So far so great !
Never add anything to veg cycle, only top dress and a little tea during flower.
Great results so far.
With implementing the use of bug netting the last couple years has made a huge difference in my harvests and peace of mind.
First complete grow, no bugs, moths ( bud worms ) or any undesirable insects.
Just tasty pure clean buds, free of any synthetic BS.
Yes, bug netting is key. No one ever talks about it. But if you grown long enough you know to keep rain and cold morning dew off your plants durring late bud and netting because so many things u find out later are hiding in your bud. I'm not into smoking caterpillars. Wash ur buds, grow on community, and grow on growmies 😎💯
Can you guys elaborate? Like netting around the plants? Outdoor correct?
Down To Earth is awesome. A little pricey, but if you shop around (online and locally) you can find it WAY cheaper than on Amazon. Fuck Amazon
Eh, you can get a good deal somewhere, I try not to shop amazon if my local shop has it, gotta support local businesses.
@@420scene 👌
Can't wait for your next grow. I'm interested in Hydro technology myself. Thanks again. 😊
Same....such foreign territory
The GDP's are actually gonna be done soon, gonna be hanging them up, colas are rock hard.
I use DTE as well and I love it... exceptional for teas and top dressing. You're right about the oyster shells. Had a box in my amazon cart and now it's gone with a 3 week wait😒. Trying to incorporate earth dust but I'm afraid to use their directions with out the addition of some DTE dry amendments (oyster shells especially).
Very excited for this 💚✌️
Great vid FT!
Maybe you’ve heard this, but I also like to take my egg shells, nuke them for 3 minutes. Let them cool, and then I chuck them in an old food processor. I pulse into a powder, and feed it to my worm bin. That way the worms can quickly process the shells and covert it to calcium rich castings.
Yes egg shells provide a great source of calcium and I actually made a video on it a while back.
As i read the title i already answered yes, the brand is great, its expensive but its great quality.
Totally.
Their prices are very cheap here in Los Angeles
Cheap for me also and u can buy in big bags also
I have been using dte since you did your video w mr.grow it Good Stuff & your right that fishbone meal is 🔥i had a stunted autoflower top dressed it w fishbone & brang it right back to life week later. 👍Thanks for all the good advice always enjoy your vids.
hey man. Noticed you've mentioned multiple times over different videos oyster shells and egg shells for calcium. They won't be available unless you crush them down to a powder. Not correcting just something I've learned with composting. Good videos. Very informative.
I would love it if you'd make a video on how to know what your plants need or when they're telling you
I know this video is a couple years old and I’m sure you’ve figured it out by now, but Tractor Supply has crushed oyster shells for about $20 for a 50 lb bag, which is pretty cheap compared to those small boxes. I just bought two bags of oyster shell and four 50 lb bags of alfalfa pellets for my garden. Dolomitic lime has Calcium and Magnesium and Gypsum has sulfur. Thanks for the video.
That hydro should be a great project it’s been something I been interested but like you haven’t a an opportunity. Good luck can’t wait to see that series.
It's gonna be hella fun and exciting.
Chicken eggs shells mixed with vinegar. Wait for the foaming/bubbling to stop. = calcium carbonate iirc. Browning the eggshells prior, will give calcium phosphate.
Straight magnesium cane be had from most fire starter sticks.
I’m currently using a supersoil mix with 60~75% Miracle-Gro Performance Organics Soil and 25~30% Dr. Verms Worm Castings
LMAO!! I'm dying over here! Sloppy Vag! I gotta check that Fish Bone Meal out lol Great video as always! Trying to catch up with your vids. Been super busy!
All good man. You always come back. 😎 Sloppy, hotdog in the hallway vag. Lmao.
@@420scene That's pretty rough lol #swampvag
I have been using oyster shell foe a while. I mix a tablespoon per gallon of "soil" just mixed in. Should I do something different?
Billions of Oyster and clam shells litter the beaches here...just get a couple 5 gal pails..2 young kids..and tell them to fill up the pails with clam shells and they'll get free pizza!! Take the shells and throw them where u intend to outdoor grow..step on them and u got ur calcium! They'll slow release over the season. Same deal with using indoors..but wash them with a hose first and let them dry.
Thanks for the info. Great work.
Thanks broski!
These are the dry nutes I use..... so far I'm pleased!!! Far better than my previous nutes
I use their 444 and 484 only though
Yeah man they’re hella great.
Good content I just started using dte this year I use the garden lime I plan on using only dte products moving forward
Thanks man appreciate all the knowledge ✌
Oh shit, this time you actually *did* cut your hair! 🤪 Great video yet again, man; just like always!
I use the bio-Live and then flower/bloom Great product
I want to do an organic grow. Which ones would I need to use for a small indoor grow with 5 gallon pots? And what would be a good starting organic soil?
Thanks for the video!
I just gave my plants some egg shells that I ground up into a fine dust..I put some in the fertilizer and also made a foliar spray that I’m going to use tonight at lights out because my plants have a calcium deficiency at the moment and I don’t wanna use calmag.I’m gonna try down to earth next grow for sure bro.
Crab meal, alfalfa meal, kelp meal, flower girl and worm castings done deal. Down to earth. Awsome stuff!!!
That is actually very close to my compost tea recipe. Lol.
An Neem
Big fan of the channel. Down to Earth is a great company!
Thanks man! Glad you enjoy the channel.
Another great video growmie
Bio live and vegan mix, is all I use. Is that good or should I add more?
Can I add the kelp meal and oyster shell to my autos? I got the hot soil on bottom and Mother Earth coco + perlite on top with earth castings
Down to earth and roots organic are my favorite dry amendments ! definitely legit . great video
Thanks bro!
@@420scene no problem man ! your channel has been doing serious numbers , well deserved for the content & information you are providing . keep it up
Excellent products. My forth year using it. They have a huge line,, but I only use a six or seven of them.
Yeah man it’s really good stuff. I decided to make a video on down to earth because a few people were requesting it.
I’m doing something similar bro, I’m playing around with a mix using the roots organic uprising 3 part dry amendments, nectar one shot, worm castings, in a coco perlite and vermiculite mix. I got good results this grow but think I gotta mix a little stronger for flower next run or do an additional top dress in flower
Try it out man, all about practicing different things and having fun with the grow.
@@420scene I hear that bro can’t wait to see how ur hydro run goes, being that I have only done soil and coco myself..
Been using this stuff in my outdoor gardens since I started in 2011
I'm currently using your compost tea recipe. Feeding with the tea once a week. What would you recommend top dressing? And how often? I using the down to earth products Kelp meal, alfalfa meal, oyster shell, and seed bird gueno
You can actually top dress each of them separately if you want.
When you made that comment about the fish bone meal I fell off my couch laughing 😃 my partner asked if I was ok roflmao
🤣🤣🤣
Hey 420 just wanted to let you know that you can find oyster shell at your local feed store I just picked up a 5lb bag for three bucks hope this helps 🖖
Im here just to props u my g 420, again, big video, nice content.
Cant reach down to heart im from europe 2 much taxes but i will try greenhouseeds dry emend lets see
Try getting ground oyster shell from a feed store, like Southern states. It's used to mix with chicken feed to make their shells stronger.
Thanks everyone for the great comments and help...I'm finishing up my first grow...I joined patreon on this channel and the growing videos seems endless...and to be honest...its alsome the community is great..nothing like being surrounded by experience growers when your new like me...and new people like me where I feel comfortable. Thanks...my photo by my name is of my first buds...that is finishing up!!!!! HK
Werd.
Happy Friday
Happy Friday man.
Another great video.
Oyster shells at a feed store. It’s also feed to chickens, for the calcium boost for egg production.
Does giving your plants compost tea count as a feeding, or could you just feed normally the following day ?
I count it as a feeding. I wouldn't water the next day anyway.
Thank you 420, you always take time to answer my questions and it's greatly appreciated....
I’ve gotten all the ingredients you’ve recommended for the compost tea. I’m only about three was in tho and it’s wilting a bit so I don’t wanna overdue it, only using water as of rn. When do you think it’s safe try the tea? Whenever the second of leaves is fully established? Really don’t wanna overdue things, she’s been stressing
I would wait about another week or two weeks to start using it. But the dry amendments are very forgiving, they shouldn’t be burning your plants.
I use their Seabird Guano for phosphorus, works great for me
Yes! I use Roots Organics seabird guano for my compost tea but DTE seabird guano is just as good.
Can you use alfalfa meal through your whole grow without other bat guano mixtures in your soil
oyster shell at feed stores for chicken, petsmart should have some, but dolomite lime works pretty well and is also sold by dte
another alternative is cooked browned (not blacked) eggshell in vinegar, it turns into calcium carbonate and is readily available
Just ordered some going to give them a try. I always used ol Wally World Jobes 4-4-4.
Sounds good man. Let me know how it works out for you.
@@420scene will do it will be here Thursday and I’ve got some 1week olds that are going to be hungry.
Hey 420! I use their Seabird Guano for Calcium, its got 20% Ca in there 👍
I am trying to practice only making teas. The first top dress to start flower and tea until harvest
You can get Oyster shells at animal feed store it is fed to chickens to make egg shells stronger.
You can go to Tractor Supply and get oyster shells over in the chicken feed area
Yes now I know. A lot of people have mentioned it and I do mention a thank you to you guys giving the information about Tractor Supply in an upcoming video. Thanks man.
Is this the only brand that is a organic dry fertilizer that's similar to Gaia Green Organics? Or there is another brand similar to this?
I mean there are other brands out there. But that’s just what I prefer
i know you swear by recharge and i'm about to try it on my new grow. My question is, do you still feed compost teas or top dress with these amendmants at the same time?
No, I either use Recharge or the compost tea. But I will use them both on the same run.
I know this is off topic but my fan fell on my seedling which bent it over but nothing on the plant broke will it be ok
It’s a seedling it’s hard to say but if it is a plant that’s in veg then it would be OK.
@@420scene yeah it’s definitely in veg…it’s only a couple weeks old
Order Gypsum man does the same thing as Oysters. Very water soluble too. Brewers use it as well.
What do you think about Dr. Earth dry amendments. Are they any good in comparison to Down 2 Earth???
They have Oyster Shell 5LB right now in Amazon. It says in stock soon but it has a 28th shipping date. So I just scooped some!
Still a little wait but it's shipping now.
When I was a kid my grandma gave oyster shells to her chickens my sister does and so did my uncle I know it works for eggs
Great stuff ...
Could you do something on foop it's a new nutrients I think people need to know that it hurts plants I usually use general hydroponics I'm a DWC grower after 2 weeks of use I've noticed weekly stems in the lower canopy yellowing of the leaves in early instead of late flower mold growing
Can you use regular crushed oyster shells with calcium?
Yeah. Just make sure it’s grinder up good. You can also use crab meal to get your calcium.
I've been looking into Down to Earth so I appreciate you sharing your experience with them! Thank you! ♥
That's how I was opening my boxes of Down to Earth. Ewwww. But it works!!! I've got bat guano....
Bat guano is good stuff.
DTE is the bomb i use bio live , rose and flower mix 4 8 4 with great results
Farm store, oyster shells are given to chickens to strengthen shells and as grit.
Thanks man, I ended up getting it from Tractor Supply.
Dr Earth is good stuff and you can get it at Walmart! Flower girl love it 💚🌱👌💨☕
GOT THE DOWN 2 EARTH BONE MEAL AND OSTER SHELL. NO SHORTAGE HERE IN CALI. GOOD LUCK. THANKS FOR THE INFO.
1st, thanks for all of your info. As to oyster shell...most farm supply stores carry it because it is used in the poultry industry.
My shops have not had it for months. I can get it on Amazon though, I only have to wait about three weeks.
@@420scene just got a box from Amazon it only took a few days with prime. Can this be added in a tea in Veg? Or is it better for flower? Your channel content is 🔥 Bro
I'm planning on buying the kelp meal, alfalfa meal, and fishbone meal for my next grow. My question is is that all I need from veg all the way through flower? I also have things like recharge and fish crap and Cal mag as well
Yes.
@@420scene Thank you brother. You have motivated me to keep on growing! ✌️
Went to the beach a couple days ago and filled up a garbage bag full of kelp. Also filled a few bottles with good old sea water. Cant beat free nutrients kelp is amazing full of all minerals a little npk and some growth hormones as well and same with sea water it also has microbes and great to add a little bit to a tea, i only do 1/100 sea water to water in teas soaking a 5 gallin bucket full of kelp for a couple days and simply adding a few cups of the water to like 5 gallons is great quick fix to perk your plants up great for marijuana vegetables flowers etc.. get your selfs some worms start a worm farm compost all your old fruits and vegetables scraps add fallin leafs full of minerals nutrients the worms break it down make it super plant avaliable, not all castings are equal only as good as the diet the worms are fed. Also go to your local seed store grab up corn, mung, alfalfa, and make seed sprout teas cant beat it full of enzymes cytocons natural growth hormones, last tip get your selfs some aloevera plants cant beat aloe root drenchs for your girls, full of minerals saponins salacilic acids, tons of stuff also great for foliar sprays, bugs and critters hate it plants love it watch your garden have a growth spirt over night after using, Aloe has a little of everything your garden needs perfect amenment. You can grow for pennies or quite cost effective anyways, look into some fpj or ffj, i will leave it at that i can go on. I love down to earth amenments but to expensive to source here in Canada, Gaia green is our down to earth,
I totally agree with you, you can’t beat free nutrients and I think kelp is underrated. It’s absolutely great for your roots. A lot of the stuff that’s good for your plants is stuff that people wouldn’t even think about. People don’t think about stuff like eggshells, coffee grounds, banana peels, seaweed it’s all great stuff. Thanks for the comments man I really appreciate it. I always have some great stuff to throw in the comments section.
Haven't used down to earth but would like to want to learn more organic and to be able to take some mo coco add few of there products with some perlite and have a supersoil mix that would feed them from beginning til I transplant and get ready for flower and what to add to that flower mix if anything different and when and what to top dress with so the girls dont run out of food before its time to cut down and wouldn't need to flush out any synthetic stuff thanks for the video appreciate your effort you put into the videos growmie
Down to earth will always be my go to
ive been using a lot of down to earth and the dude at my local shop told me to try out E.B. Stone stuff. comparable products, cheaper price point, and they're CDFA organic.
Y ou can get oyster shell at local farm store. In the chicken feed section. We feed it to chicken in small amounts.
I put on a banna tea , your recipe,...I got 6 .whole ripe bannas...in gallon water on air pump...hehe...thanks HK
Right on bro...💨💨✌️
You can buy oyster shell at a Feedstore they use it to feed chickens supposedly it makes the shell of the egg a lot stronger and it’s a lot cheaper give it a try.
I'll have to check it out.
You can also get alfalfa from a feed store feed it to cattle just alfalfa and a lot cheaper I believe it comes in ballot form if you could grind it down I just put the pallets around plant yeah check that out alfalfa at the feed stores a lot cheaper
We need Stinking-Vadges round here ! Lol.
Lmao.
