Big tip. Listen to all his videos at 0.75x playback speed lol
😂
I feel better now
Ha,ha. There will be a pop test after this.
Finally someone who don't talk slow and make the vid into 20 mins
I love your show brow never a disappointment all ways great keep the film rolling for time too come🌻
Thanks Mr Stink. Comments like yours make the blood, sweat, tears and achy wrists (too much "mouse-work"!) all worthwhile. :)
Aweome quick to the point guide❤❤❤
I know you got a lot of information in this video but damn you’re killing my high with how fast you’re talking 😂😂
Austin Ralls That’s the last thing I want to do! Sending elevated vibes your way amigo.
just saw your articles on auto dosing monitors and controllers. it was nice.
Question this top “dressing” does it add unwanted odour to your indoor environment? I’m growing in a relatively small space it’s a two storey loft because the second floor only has a half wall out towards the wall of two storey south facing windows, I have a huge exhaust fan in the upstairs bathroom that is what pulls out most of the air, I have two other exhaust style typical bathroom exhaust fans one in the downstairs bathroom and one in the kitchen. I do not have an exhaust fan over the stove. I also run two large air purifiers one on each floor(probably way more then what is required for the square footage. Having said all of that our space has always been extremely dry and we’ve always needed a humidifier running 24/7 in the dry winter months. I should also explain that we are on the 34/35 floors so perhaps that’s the reason for the extreme dryness heat rises? There are times yes even in the winter months when it’s freezing cold out that the surface area of my windows indoors due to the hot sun the temperature at 10am has read above 30! Degrees C!! No not a joke absolutely 100% true and the temp of the room is around 24 degrees C. I’ve ended up turning the a/c on just to keep it cool enough to feel comfortable in the room. The humidity usually is around 25-30%. Sooooo my question is if I top dress my hydroton pebbles with a dry powder will the organic matter cause an odour that will cause adverse reactions to the humans living in the same environment? Also I don’t have a grow tent...yet.
I truly value your opinion as you have an incredible wealth of knowledge which isn’t just “textbook” you have used these products and you know because of practical applications.
I have diatomaceous earth and thought I could sprinkle it on top but I didn’t think it would help provide any additional nutrients and would just end up clogging my pump as I’m planning on setting drip irrigation as well.
🙏🏻🥰🇨🇦
Thanks for the ad.
Once again.. great info to relearn..👍
Have you looked into Build-a-soil's veganic bloom powder? With some fish bone meal I think it would be amazing but I haven't tried it yet
What might be some beneficial ammendments for hydroponic growers in soil? I use Insect Frass, Azomite, & Mycos but with the sythetic nutrients I'm not sure if it's beneficial. Can you recommend a tea additive that works with synthetic nutrients? Maybe this will give benefit to the organic amendments I use. And on one of your Facebook posts I saw you had a reservoir bubbling like it was a tea. it wasn't compost tea either. Can you refer me to that page? Thanks Everest.
I top dress before they go into the pot, and top them off 2-3X during the grow. I use castings, chicken manure, Buildasoil Craftblend, dry molasses, bokashi, etc. Use the same mix on my veggies n even my avocado tree n it totally took off this year!!! Keep those feeder roots happy!!!
Hey, Im interested in using Vermicrop products(VermiAll, VermiBloom, & PK Boost) for vegetables In coco coir. The products you used in this video, do you think they would work just like hydroponics instead of top dressing? I would prefer to use RO water, then add the fertilizers in the water, then do PH adjustment. With your experience with Vermicrop product, do you think it would work? If not I might possible be looking towards purchasing Organicare Pure granular. Can I get your opinion and why?Thanks!
nice always good info
is top dressing effective in pure coco coir medium?
always a great show
Thank you my friend :)
what plants are those beautiful purple and orange flowers
Great video!
Thanks Dylan.
Can use organci fertilizer in top dressing potatoes
Has anyone ever used Coast of Maine's Stonington Platinum Growers mix? It's marketed as a supersoil in a bag. It contains several amendments. Thinking about trying it, any feedback?
aematthews76 never used it but I’ve heard it’s good
Easy on the coffee my friend :)
Can you please make a video about how to clean your grow tent/room? I've just been wiping down my tents with alcohol wipes after each grow cycle. I've never had any pest problems but I still feel like I should be cleaning my tents better. Great video as always!
bleach ;)
Ben lysol kills more than bleach just spray heavy let sit for four mins and enjoy hospital quality environment. they have a new one that is for resistant strains and that kills everything! I would recommend you wipe off with water to make sure your fungi and all benies don't suffer. smells real nice too! read through the label it'll blow your mind how much it can kill
Is it possible to use these kind of fertilizers on coco?
great info
Would dry amendments work in coco also and would you recommend the fox farm dry amendments like all purpose and bloom nutes
+Joe K Hi Joe, dry amendments can indeed be used with coco. I would recommend mixing them with a little high quality compost first to aid in the breakdown. Fox Farm have a well-deserved excellent reputation.
Hey can you maybe do a grafting video I am intrested in that technic and also informed kinda already but I rly would love one lovely compact vid from you
thx
Okay Xion I will put it on the (ever growing) list! :)
Your channel is one of my favorites! But the sound is always so low compared to almost everything I watch on YT.
Anyways, Can/will these methods work with coco? I like the idea of top dressing some p/k. I also almost always have issues the first week of flower with the plants wanting N. Would adding a topdressing a week before flower help combat this?
Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback-I'll be sure to play around with my sound levels in upcoming videos. Yes, to answer your question, you can certainly top dress plants growing in coco coir. Try insect frass-they love it! Give them a little blood meal or bat guano at the end of veg :) They'll thank you for it.
Will this help yeild hella dank
The wifey and I love your high paced energetic well researched info! very clean presentation and don't listen to the folks telling you to slow it down. I know you promote that nice brand of top dressing. any experience with rainbow mix or nature's pride? Thanks for all your help friend!
Espoma is better
can we have a video on why different NPK ratios are used at different times as opposed to say a 5-5-5 from veg through till flower.
Yes my friend-and thanks for asking. I'm going to be looking in detail at not just the macro but also the secondary and micro elements. It's gonna get deep and dirty-but I will always keep it practical and real.
Hey Everest great video again, Bat Guano has high Phosphorus? which would be better during flower stage, bonemeal or bat guano? thanks in advance
Bat guano. The chitin in it will be a helpful boost at that time.
There is multiple kinds. There is nitro guano and phos guano.
im 4.5 weeks from seed growing in canna terra pro.
ive given no nutes to my plants and they're looking fine and healthy.
i ordered some guanokalong bat guano, mega worm, molasses and ecothrive.
do you think the canna terra pro has enough in it to see me through to flower which will be within next 3 weeks or can i feed it now ?
also, which is the best method of application. can i put it all together and make a tea or shall i top dress the guano, megaworm castings and ecothrive and just water it in with molasses ?
any feedback would be much appreciated.
Hello amigo, what sized pots are you currently in? Do you envisage potting on before hitting the flowering stage? If so, just pot on with your existing mix. Otherwise, if you’re already in final stage pots, I would suggest making a mix of professional vermicompost, guano (? to follow guidelines) castings and Ecothrive charge (? I presume you’re using their excellent insect frass product) - and top dressing. Water through. :)
Everest Fernandez
Thanks for getting back to me mate 👍🏼
Yea i just recently potted up into the final pots, 7 gallon / 30L fabric pots.
When potting up i just used the basic canna terra pro as it already has nutrients in it so didnt want to end up burning my plants.
I ordered ecothrive charge, mega worm ( plagron ), molasses and some bat guano from a company called guanokalong with an npk of 1:10:1
The plants are already approx 2 / 3 ft tall and its been 4.5 weeks since starting from seed.
So lets forget the first week or 2 as that was the seedling stage. Lets say ive been vegging for 2.5 weeks now, i wont to veg for maybe another 2.5 weeks and then turn to flower.
Do you think the canna terra pro with have enough charge in it to take me up to flower and then top dress ? Or would you top dress now ?
I was also thinking about making a tea with the megaworm, ecothrive charge and molasses and too dressing just with the bat guano and watering in with the tea. Would that be ok or would it be better to put the guano into the tea aswell ?
Whats the difference between top dressing and tea in terms of slow release or fast release of nutrients ?
Sorry for all the questions my friend, i just want to get it right without fucking up lol.
Im growing 2 blueberry, 1 white widow and 1 hifi 4g :)
Interesting topic , it I have waited a long time that you introduce the matter . :)
But can you tell me if that works on coco too and maybe what the different is?
Yes Fabrian you can top dress coco - it's a great thing to do!
Such a great channel, very informative, and covers it all!
Hey Everest, I know all Nutrients are important in flower but between Phosphorus and Potassium which one maximizes flower yield? i
I always see higher Phosphorus numbers in bloom products. Thanks!
Hi Jonathan-it's tempting (but not helpful) to isolate the individual elements and zero in on specific roles, but there's a great deal of interplay at work too. Both phosphorus and potassium are critical to life and flowering plants-but they generally need more potassium than phosphorus. You can think of phosphorus as a structural component (DNA, RNA), an energy transfer component (it's the P in ATP!), and an enzymatic reaction regulator. Potassium stimulates enzymes and it's required for protein synthesis that, in turn, helps the plants accumulate soluble nitrogen based compounds such as amino acids, amides and nitrates). Leaves need potassium to regulate photosynthesize as it aids with stomatal regulation as well as solute transport in the xylem / water balance in plants. I'm working on a video series covering plant nutrition, but I don't want to zero in on each element as I don't think it really serves a deeper understanding of what's going on. Better to look at the plant as a complete biological system and, as I said, look at the interplay / interdependent roles of elements, how they're uptaken, and their roles and fate in the plant. It's going to be quite a trip! :) Glad you're along for the ride amigo.
K is always 3-5 times higher than P. Lot of plants need more Mg or Ca (and even S) than P. The reason why you see stuff like PK 13/14 is simply because that's PK ratio in a molecule of Monopotassium Phosphate. But that doesn't mean it's a good ratio for plants. It's not. You only need increased P during first 3 weeks for better rooting and during first 3-5 weeks of flowering. P is need to form flower sites. But after that, you don't need increased P. The quality and weight is all about K. Lot of people put tons of P during the entire flower cycle which is only great if you want bad taste or Ca lockout. ;)
Do you top dress with super soil
Hi Everest. Can you go into aerated compost tea as well? Another question regarding beneficial bacteria. Do they work in a hydro system?
Very interesting question-I intend to tackle it in an upcoming video. I'll talk about compost tea in hydro too.
I will be very interested in your Compost Tea in Hydro topic. I have been doing it for about 2 months with mixed results, still learning on it and almost nothing to leverage out there. Thanks.
What about lime and Epsom salt
Everst, do you still need to flush using these organic nutrients? Thank you.
yes. natural fertilizer is still fertilizer.
How much seabird guano per 1gallon of soil
I like to top dress then water in with compost tea. Great video and your plants look super healthy!
Awesome-you can't give them better than that really. The compost tea gets to work and breaks down the 'porterhouse steak and fries' :)
Was a Indoor grower for ten years. Just mix it in the water is easiest method. Second use coco indoors. It’s civilized and extremely clean and non hydrophobic meaning I if it’s dry it easily waters unlike peat. If using coco use lime and oyster shell with some Epsom salts every so often. Never buy overpriced nutes too
Organics has come a long way
Can you do a video on spider mites and aphids and other ways to prevent/get rid of them?
Mmmm nice aroma. Sure thing. It's on my list. I've tackled aphids in my ebb and flow diary videos (early days) and intend to do a series on all pests: spidermites being the #1 nemesis of the indoor grower!
+Everest Fernandez (Just4Growers)thank you for the response! your videos are incredibly informative. keep up the good work!
+smellmyfinger503 Thanks my friend. I really appreciate the positive feedback.
+Everest Fernandez (Just4Growers) no thank you! you probably grow the dankest weed... lol
@@Just4Growers hello. A bit off topic here. But wanted to ask you directly.
Do you know if you can top dress with dry koolbloom at the end weeks?
I dont want to contaminate my res as it feeds multiple stages.
If you use chemical nutrients in a previously organic garden does it kill all the organic substance or have some other possibly negative effects?
Great question. Mineral-based nutrients, when used sensibly, will not kill the beneficial microbes and fungi in your soil. You have to remember that these microbes are mineralizing stuff all the time-just take it easy with the concentration.
the problem is chemical fertilizers use EDTA to chelate the nutrients into the plant. EDTA is nasty stuff and super dehydrates your soil killing off most microbes. You must keep the media moist.
King Peezyworld
Hey brutha good question and answer so i have a question for you .do you think these vermicrop organics dry nutes are chelated
I was reading up on them and i had my shop order them for actually picking them up tomorrow but they have the cdfa stamp for organic input and from my understanding the cdfa was more stringent on criteria meeting when it comes to organics
Do you own a wholesale mattress company?
I fucking love your channel mate
+Spectra 7 Gaming :))))))
Great vid man. Just would like to point out that chitin is pronounced like "ky-tin".
+Agr414 thanks Agr, I learnt the word by reading.
Compost tea!!!!
salvatore guerriera Yeeeeeeeesssss! 😀
as usual great vid!
ps thanks for the follow on insta! 👊
It's a pleasure to follow you MG! Thanks for your support.
🔥✌🇨🇦
You know for sure most people who watched this are growing weed😂😂😂
Kite-en... 😆
You should do a germ/early veg video! Keeps up the solid videos✌️
Great timing for that request Charlie-I've got all sorts popping up right now! :) Thanks again.
so this was a commercial for Vermicorp
Used Roots Uprising Bloom in outside plants in 25 gallon buckets. Used 1/8 cup RUB every two weeks per plant. Dry, hot and sunny all year. Watered 1-3 gallons per plant every 3-5 days. Plants love it and look great.
Oof @1:55 did you say Chittin ? 🥴
Top dress with manure/compost/kelp ect... no need for that liquid shit do it how nature does it and plants will grow 100x better. Simplicity is key.
I think there's a place for both-especially when growing short cycle annuals.

Seabird Guano? BAD LUCK TO KILL SEA BIRD
Slow down
Bro slow down when you talk
Dont do meth or adderall kids
The fact that they remove nitrogen from a stabilized for in the environment and use it in active forms in not organic. Also organic growing does not mean a healthy food supply chain.
yes, and chicken / cow manure is way more balanced than this overpriced crap
you are talking way much faster slow Down plz
Setting --> Speed --> 0.5
+Zack Osborn and what if I'm watching it on CZcams mobile app . thanks though
Thanks for the feedback Kunal.
Great info but slow the hell down
Yuck.. General “ Organics” isn’t organic
OZs 786 still it's a start more healthy
I’ll admit, it’s a start. But semi organics never made sense to me.
No till all the way.
I hate these speed talk type of videos
This is why you shouldn't do meth before you film a youtube video. Slow down man. Damn
Your channel isn’t gonna go anywhere due to the way you format your videos and narrate them.
