I can't thank you enough for sharing your experiences and knowledge. My wife has stage 4 metastatic breast cancer and being able to grow her medicine has been a huge blessing. The build-a-soil way has completely changed our lives for the better and we can't thank you enough.
Have you guys tried Electro-Culture? I'm getting amazing results lowering costs dramaticly, more here: www.electrocultureandmagnetoculture.com/uploads/3/4/1/3/3413602/justin_christofleau__-electroculture_1927-__doc_yannick_van_doorne.pdf
Sending thoughts and positive vibes your way!!
God bless u and your wife mr coker
I lost my mom to Liver cancer and I grow so no one I know has to suffer with not being able to eat or be comfortable along the way... Stay healthy, guys!
I use homemade chicken doodoo, homemade worm castings, homegrown pumpkins, homegrown sunflowers, and wild caught channel catfish in my compost, with hand harvested creek silt added after it is done. I use this as a top dress, a tea, whatever. It is just a little bit of work, but it saves a lot of money, and it works really well.
Thanks for the content
I follow the BAS way, but I do supplement CO2 starting late veg, tapering off for last weeks of flower (small commercial grow). I try to stay between 1200-1500ppm when lights are on. I have noticed a significant increase in bud-density and NO reduction in quality.I have strains testing over 4% terps / 30% thc.
When I’m not supplementing CO2, my room will drop below 300ppm, even with some exhausting. I could run the exhaust system constantly, but then my humidifier struggles to maintain proper rh.
I love these 30+ min videos. The knowledge you drop is always astounding. Thank you 🙌
Huge fan of the 10x10 series and was wondering if you would ever do an outdoor grow? I think it would be very interesting seeing how a quadrant with the BAS method handles the weather and pests ect and how you personally would deal with those situations organically. Either way thanks heaps!
I agree this is a great idea . I personally only have the outdoor space to grow and could really benefit from this education and knowledge.
What say you Jeremy ? Lol
13:35 that was probably one of the best compost tea explanations I've heard. Even though I already know you just made is sound very interesting and easy to understand.
You have leveled up my.grows tremendously
Good Questions and answers! Learned plenty...Mahalo and Aloha 🌺🌊🏄🏼♀️
Big up Jeremy
Good work as always 💪
Absolutely love the FAQs. Keep em coming!
Awesome!!! Love the FAQ, always great questions and detailed answers. Thanks Jermey
Right on time!!! Big up!!❤💛💚
Always look forward to the faq episodes thanks Jeremy
I started working plots taking waste and taking that primo waste from other parts of the yard with the tarps and now I feel like I have fields of green in my childhood house front yard
Huge Shout out to the BAS family. You nailed my question from every angle possible. 👍🏿👍🏿❤
Thank you so much for all your help. This is an amazing platform. Keep up the great work! ✅👏🧨🎯
Could you do a episode on the shelf life of your products? The ferments, Build A bloom, big 6, sea 90, some of the ammendments, craft blend etc... I have a shelving unit that I have a lot of the Build A Soil products and I just wanted to make sure that I'm not using things that aren't good anymore. I like having products that if needed I can use them but definitely don't want them to go "bad"
The ferments are good unless they freeze. They will still have nutrients but be very low in biology. All the dry amendments are good forever as long as you keep them dry. Sea90 is salt, so good forever also. Think of these inputs as minerals and elements from the periodic table. They are good forever as long as they stay in their current form. Now things like compost and worm castings are also good forever but as they dry out you will lose much of the microbiology. Hope this helps.
@Vince Ze thanks so much for the info. I was a little concerned because I have so many products, some I use all the time and others are occasionally, and I didn't want them to go bad. This helps a ton. Thanks again
@@Crazypug-eh7xi no problem.
Amen. The journey is the goal! Open source for the win. Thank you so much for teaching this old dog some new tricks!
Loving your products will be all i use from now on thanks Jeremy
1min up and the place is crowded already :)
will enjoy the vid. keep up the good work
My sister roasted coffee in a popcorn machine it was pretty good
Another amazing day at school,I know how busy you are Jeremy but you seriously need to think about writing a book and I guarantee it would be a best seller with top reviews..with the knowledge you have to offer I think videos have their place but i think it would surpass Ed Rosenthals books you also have the resources to source out the people for the specific topics,you've got people like Coot for soil,Myles for his fermentation,Kid Kaya,Colorado worms,Daz night owl etc.etc I'd love to be able to work on this if it ever happened
I really appreciate your honesty and transparency. Feel like you guys are a very trustworthy source of information and I can’t wait to get started with the build a soil way. After watching many of your episodes, I’m planning on getting a 5x5 and use the knowledge gained from you guys. Thanks again!
Only use SEA-90 foliar great results 👍
Thank you Jeremy always nice learning something from you...🙏🙏
I have switched to flower after the third growth node, just to see if they would produce. I took the bottom pair of branches from the 4 plants, leaving 4 branches. Just a little bit of lollipopping, and it turned out 4 tops per plant of regular sized high quality buds.
Just felt like sharing.
So they were 2 or 3 weeks old?
@@vinniez2188 yep. Like 14 days at 19 hours, after they broke the surface. I used 3.5 gallon plastic pots, and the roots were almost back to the top. It really opened my eyes.
It taught me that the veg stage is more like the "root" stage.
Was waiting for this
BuildASoil Sunday 💯
Love the FAQ's! Thanks 😊 ✌️💚🌲🌏☮️🕊
Here comes the grow knowledge thank you jermery for sharing this u the man
I love earth boxes and top dressing. Never tea anymore…. You are right about that…. Just put the compost in the pot.
Keeping ferments going in the lung room is one way to incorporate the addition of CO2 without a major investment or alteration of the grow space. Like FPE’s, or even fermenting kombucha, ginger beer and wine! Just one way to passively up the CO2 while having fun.
Great FAQ!!!
Everything we do in the commercial grow room to produce for the market is very incremental. It can be thought of as an entourage effect, meaning, adding co2 is not an automatic yield increase. It's the entourage of everything else PLUS co2 that makes the difference & I agree that co2 is last in the list of must haves, right behind RO water in my opinion. The key to adding co2 to a grow is being able to maintain a steady PPM, thus co2 regulators, so I'm not sure how much good hanging a co2 bag or bottle in a tent actually does. I grow in coco & use a feed, feed, flush (with Recharge) watering schedule. The co2 in the room will build a little during lights out. Not sure where that's coming from, my guess is the bio from the Recharge in the coco, but I dunno for sure.
Always get excited till I realize ots a faq.
Thank you so much for answering my question about Sea 90 at 19:00 . Really amazed by the quality of the answer, thanks again!
great information!
love your ethics & realistic approach ..respect 😎
Ready for the new episode ❤
Great video Jeremey watched just to see what ur answer would be on the CO2 n I agree completely. 4th run the Buildasoil way n I run high DLI with my babies (up too 1500 PPFD for ILGM Blue Dream in flower) with no CO2. I use 6 inch fans for inlet n exhaust plus a few 6 inch fans to make the leaves dance. An automated drip system, top dressing and weekly feeds keep the girls happy. Average yield is 6-8 OZ per plant x 4 per run. The Buildasoil way is working awesomely for me! thanks for all your guidance, bro.
Glad i found you. ❤
So glad this episode came out! Perfect timing lol I been researching co2
Another great FAQ Jeremy way to drop knowledge bombs. Highest5 🖐️
Good stuff as always 💚🌱💨💨💨
Thank you for the info.
I found this channel immediately upon starting up again after 20 years. Perfect for remedial education. The high information density is great! A lot of the crazy ways to get quick abundance became pointless after legalization. Time and easy to access spaces are obstacles no more!
Thanks again man ✌️❤️🔥🌲
Learned about salt today
I tried the Exhale Co2 bags and they were a complete waste of money for me. I hung an XL bag (made for a 5x5 area) and their regular size bag in a 3x3 tent that has no exhaust and is located in a closed closet. Co2 went up maybe 100 to 200 for a couple weeks, but then went back to what is was before I added the bags.
Bro I just bought a blue damson plums trees my kids love plums I'm starting a small orchard in my back yard im loving every minute of organic gardening when u start growing the gardens just keeps getting bigger and bigger
I get a bit smarter after each FAQ. Awesome stuff!
You add c02 evertime you peak into the tent 👌 breathing is free
I use 4 earthboxes in 4x4x72. The earthbox is a supercharger. Explosive results!!
I do as well but they move to the 4x8 for flower. I run can run 5 comfortably in the 4x8 and 2-3 in the 4x4 depending on what strain I’m growing. You’re right! ….Crazy effortless results…. just dumping water in when the bottoms dry and massaging stems out. 1 top dress and you’re done. I run 2 autos per box if I’m doing photos I do 1 per box. But with genetics and quality of autos now, I’m not sure why I ever grow photos anymore.
@@Exiled0350 me too bro. Night owl is awesome in earth boxes. So easy and you can't mess it up. I am switching over too.
@@dragoniousmaximus7304 nice… I’m just popped a couple ZaMango from night owl… I’ve also got Mephisto and Ethos flowering right now and they look amazing as those genetics always do. The pineapple runtz are kicking right now.
Wow got so much info other than the CO2 tactics. Thank you
always a ton of great info! really feel the same with c02 now that ive tried out an exhale bag. Not necessary in my opinion too, for our home grows. i really love hearing the WHY you and your team use this or chose to make this. the back story really helps show intention
The problem is that you used an exhale bag, they provide so little co2 they are pointless. If you use co2 it has to be sufficient and this can only be done with a co2 tank. It isn't really required though if you are less than 1000 ppfd. It also needs to be a closed system.
I recently started some dragon fruit and miracle berry plants. Also sprouting some white strawberries. Looking forward to seeing you grow coffee plants and more!
Don’t be embarrassed BTW…that is our grow room and you can lead us to what is possible
I have a 1000 watt Hps and have it remove the air from the tent thru the light out into the room. There is 2 extractors blowing in air from the window a/c unit. One intake is for the canopy and the other is for the bottom pot area. Works out great. All flaps closed, I balanced the intake and out take to keep the tent neutral air pressure in the tent. I have also yellow mushrooms also. Made by neem seed meal.
Hi Jeremy, thanks for all y’all do! Could you talk about humic and fulvic acid and more specifically when and how to use a product like Dr Fauss BioAg Ful Power? Thanks
Kis organics has a podcast with the gentleman who created those products and it is a great listen my friend
great questions canna fam, awesome info build a soil.
Yo I've been growing for almost 3 years now, 2 of which have been the build a soil way, And this is by far the best explanation of why you don't have to supplement CO 2 in a living soil system and that was the best visual description of what a Sealed room is and why you would have to supplement CO 2 in a closed room. As a new grower you just see so much information on supplementing CO 2 that you think you have to do it when Your Herb is even more fire when you don't supplement and just use fresh air exchange
when growing commercial and getting tested for aspergillis and other spores there are benefits of a sealed room/sterile system. I wouldnt say herb if more fire when you dont supplement, its just two ways of skinning a cat. When done correct, Co2 can give benefits. In a homegrow, I dont feel its necessary.
Never thought about tea from build a flower. I tossed it in the grapes and apples since I couldn't use it indoors. Under water probably would have saved it
I actually started creating compost because my parents house is dry clay and salty snow ditches and the year I started messing with my yard they redid the entire street so a lot of my work got renewed and I had to double down but now it's even better and took the waste to try to mitigate that hot dry dead soil and now it's so green and lush wet dark brown soft extreme vigor
Heck yeah! My too many coffee questions were answered! Thank you Jeremy and the person who put my question on the paper! If I may offer some advice, get into roasting now before you have a harvest, so you know exactly how you want them when they're ready. Check out the Fresh Roast series of roasters, great starter device and when you decide you want to go deeper and get something like a Behmor or bigger, you can give the Fresh Roast to a friend, and convert (or curse!) them to roasting too. Sweet Maria's is a great place for people getting started, they a retailer of home roasters and beans. They've also had a neat series recently on their YT touring some organic farms in Ethiopia too.
Great info 💯 but aye Jeremy we need to see the plants please lol but i love the FAQs keep em coming
Thank you for all the amazing knowledge you drop on us. Question regarding a top layer / mulch layer using the fan leaves from defoliation as a top cover. This ought to help keep evaporative loss down, but does it pose any negative effects to the plant far as nutrient toxicity???
My very first indoor grow ever, I negelcted my airflow (literally had none lol). I certainly learned my lesson there, you just CAN'T forget about air.
Thank you for all that you do for us in the CZcams community . I love all the videos that you do.
My question would be for the pollen chucking. When you decide to put the pollen on a plant and make seeds will there be a complete start to finish season with the seeds that you made during the pollen chucking
Jeremy, a simple rotisserie toaster oven with a bean cage works very well for a beginner roaster
I wonder if Joel Salatins farm could consistently supply enough organic ethical bone and blood meal to meet your needs.
If you grow inside your house there’s no need for supplement Co2
I average in the 700s in my grow space, just from my family and I breathing inside the house.
As far as co2 goes, in sealed rooms it gets a little complex. Young clones/transplants usually can get choked up by the high co2 the beds produce especially at night that number will rise exponentially. As a solution fresh air is pumped in throughout the night in intervals to simultaneously drop the ambient co2 and give the plants fresh air. In doing so the plants don't seem to be shocked or stunted for the week or 2 vs when there's no fresh air whatsoever. The co2 numbers stay fairly ambient throughout the day and night doing this. Another issue comes up when the plants get bigger and start raging.. within a few hours of lights on, no matter how high the ppms got at night, the plants will consume all the available co2 in the air and would be going most of the day without optimal co2 numbers (like lower than ambient co2 levels) thats when adding supplemental co2 comes in to play. Idk how many folks are doing living soil beds in sealed rooms but it does get a little tricky just wanted to post my personal experience.. 👌
I’m one of those people,
Sealed room living soil beds. I can’t risk the neighbors smelling my garden so fresh air in and out isn’t an option. That’s why I use co2
My issue is outdoor humidity, 70%+. So with air exchange my grow space will be close to that same 70%. So I have to stop air exchange and turn on dehumidifier and AC. In this scenario I think I should at minimum add a CO2 bag or make a simple yeast table sugar generator.
Love the tips, cool info on the psilocybin mushrooms. I bet the grain and mycelium will be amazing for the soil even if it didnt fruit.
When I did my grow outside I would use my charcoal grill positioned near my plants. It also helped me keep warm ✅💯
I've yet to try my KOPI LUWAK...A PRESENT.
LOVE COFFEE IDEA SHALL TUNE IN.
Anyone adding co2 please do it properly and use co2 gas from a tank. Exhale bags do not work, simple as that. As stated in the video, co2 is only required if you have hit the dli by using 1000 ppfd and at that point you need to know how much you are adding as it needs to be equivalent to the ppfd ie 1100 ppfd, 1100 ppm (or whatever the measurement is) co2. Has to be a closed system in this instance.
i cant wait for the tropical tent !! i want to start a mini version of my own !
Do you use all of the same lights in all of your tents? If so why? It's not is there a specific reason? Also do you have a favorite light to use?
I used an earthbox in a 2x2.5 gorilla and definitely needed the extension to grow a monster that took up the whole screen.
Hello and welcome 🤙🔥

This is when a person should bust out their notes scroll and feather 📜
taking them notes
Maybe one of your best FAQs. You've got me thinking about salts in a entirely new way.
For sure learning living soil and nutrients has led to learning what we need and how we better be growing our own food
2 people breathing in a tent can raise CO2 level substantially.
Correct! This is because breath contains 38,000ppm CO2. Atmospheric concentration is usually around 420ppm. It doesn’t take much breathing to substantially raise the concentration however it does get used up fairly quickly by the plants.
I sleep in my 4x8
Biggest problem with fresh air is the smell leaking out
Negative pressure is your friend here
Bill, from Vermont listen to you about soil,when I was kid landlord threw food scraps ,it was black soil I seen
Fresh air for the win. I’ll put a window fan in to bring in fresh air from outside into the grow room. Helps control heat and humidity as well and uses way less power than AC.
Get a Gorilla tent. Most definitely worth the extra money as the extra height helps with heat as well.
Hi there. I've been liking the content- good info that I am sure helps lots of folks grow their own meds. I grow at high altitude in Colorado and feel that CO2 is necessary. The difference in size, density and quality is obvious to me. But that is me.. and every grow room is a little different. There are many factors that lead me to that decision.. running a sealed and controlled environment is a big part of it... I agree that MOST growers won't see the benefit of CO2.. it is expensive and unless you go through all the other steps to have a grow space that makes best use of the addition, you may be just wasting money.. Fresh air ventilation is the best solution for most people. The mushroom CO2 bags are a gimmick. They don't put out enough to make a difference... you need to use tanks or a propane generator if you want to add CO2.
Autoflowers in a 3x3 bed - it would be great to see how big they get to show the true potential
Had to leave the discord and patreon for a cpl mnths but i will be back for sure
🙏
Great episode!! I wanna grow coffee myself, I’ve grow many pineapples from tops and even pups off of those plants. 2 1/2 years to get a pineapple to fruit from top cutting but pups produce faster. Two different kinds of pups come from them. Some like banana’s that come off the roots and others that grow off the plant itself. They will produce at different speeds as well. Pineapple is great because most people have never eaten a ripe pineapple. Taste much more like a mango that most people know. I’m so looking forward to this houseplant 10x10!
I feel that Co2 is overrated for small growers.
Absolutely love your work! Would you be open to talking about processing using organic flower/biomass using natural approaches and non-hydrocarbon methods?
Always be aware that anytime you supplement C02, And use an air conditioner, That you should have a dual hose portable air conditioner, A Mini split, Or a window split system window unit. Otherwise you are simply venting your CO 2 outside. A split system or dual hose system will keep the CO 2 enriched environment inside and the hot air outside that is being used to pump the compressor . It's usually about 35% more efficient anyway.
Its build a soil sunday
Have you tried Electro-Culture? www.electrocultureandmagnetoculture.com/uploads/3/4/1/3/3413602/justin_christofleau__-electroculture_1927-__doc_yannick_van_doorne.pdf
Awesome video! I watch them all. Could you explain the bicarbonates being bad?
💕✌🏼🌱 We just transplanted our baby Arabica Coffee plant!
If ya have a short tent you can cut a hole in the bottom for the planter to poke through. Sit the tent on something the height of the pot, supported on each side so the top of the pot is sticking through the hole. You gain the height of the pot back.
Thank you for all the information you provide! It's very helpful and the products you provide are awesome. Always excited when the BAS order comes in the mail! Currently I have a 10x5 grow tent with 8 plants and dealing with a case of powdery mildew. This is my third run and never had this problem before. I'm in week 5 of flower is there anything I can do to salvage the crop or should I just cut my losses and start over cleaning top to bottom.
I started a Lemon tree from seed from a grocery store lemon and that has been really fun and i would love to know more on how to take care of it before i kill it lol
Usually citrus from the store are gonna be hybrids. The seed wont produce the same fruit as the parent. Get a big pot you can roll inside during the winter if you get freezes. That lemon plant might work out, but I think you will be happier buying a nice meyer lemon or some other verified cut from a nursery. Citrus doesnt tolerate freeze, so you gotta move em inside a greenhouse or in a window for the winter. Thats just off top of my head, google or youtube homegrown citrus for more accurate info.
I use a scrog screen with my earthboxes. I have two earthboxes in a 3x3 and my plants are typically 10 inches tall and 2-3 feet wide. I can pull 14-20 ounces with 40 days of veg out of a 3x3 from 2 seeds. 3 crops per year and it supplies me and my 2 adult sons.
