GREAT INFO. THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS.
Had slow growing purple stems, so I stopped watering. Drying them out and that solved the problem.
6:40 I think the focus should be on vpd instead of temp or humidity alone. It’s an index after all. Even if you’re not at 60, you can still achieve the same vpd by going higher humidity if it’s hotter or a lower humidity if you are in a colder area.
This is the reason why I'm a Patreon member! Love to support someone who is so passionate about growing!
I just wanted to thank you for inspiring and motivating me to get into growing medicine for myself and my family. I always looked at growing and everything I saw was bottled nutrients, 5ml of this, 15ml of that, and it was intimidating not gonna lie. Your videos and living soil seem a lot more straight forward to me. And I've always been into doing things naturally, so the build a soil way just made sense the first video I saw. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us and pushing us to just go for it homie!

Yea, you really just have to jump in! I learned more about myself than just growing plants… the fear of failing can prevent you from starting. “Just keep growing”
Thank you so so much for clearing this purple stem inquiry, I feel a lot better now about my girls🍁🍁🍁❤️❤️❤️
The autos triggering early was definitely from the cups and root restrictions. It's like once the roots find the container bottom they jump over to flower. I made that mistake as well! And everyone came at me like it was common knowledge 😭 lol
I usually find that it takes longer to flour when they are hindered in anyway honestly and I’ve grown autos for a while to the point where I really don’t grow autos anymore because there’s not really any reason to
Started my 5th run in the Take And Bake. Plants are crushing it. Thank you for teaching us the BAS way. Totally hope Gwen’s surgery went smoothly. And I also hope for a speedy recovery. Much love from Boston, DB da OG ❤️

You're 100% right about the auto flower triggers. Maybe some sort of enzyme/hormone in the roots then sends signal to become more generative almost instantly? Always had better luck with autos growing in more volume of media.
As always killing the good info. Thanks Jeremy. U have changed me and my aunts minds on this whole soil game,wow really kicks ass

Thank you so much for the videos. I wanted to post this for the guy looking for clear pots so you can see roots. I also started my first indoor grow a few weeks ago. So far so good. I bought these on amazon. MIXC 5-Pack Seedling Trays Seed Starter Tray, 75 Large Cells Propagator Plant Grow Kit Greenhouse with Humidity Vented Domes and Base for Seeds' Starting (15 Cells Per Tray), Green .... They are clear but when in the tray it is covered with no light to it. Probably a waste of money but it made me feel better being able to look and we will get good use out of it with the food garden.
Love the content and products makes a big difference in my garden and living soil has drastically affected my home grow producing great buds and awesome yields keep up the content and work 👍🤟
You guys are one of my favorite companies I’m definitely going to work with your brand we all your products this next coming season absolutely I’m gonna start from the top all the way from the bottom gonna grab it all build a soil you guys are rocking it thank you for everything brother everything you guys put out there is gold appreciate you and your team
Great video! Love the knowledge and experience. I put all my soil outside from my indoor growing so in the summer my outdoor plants have a great base to start in.
This is so fun watching and growing along with ya!

Love the faqs brotha keep the episodes coming! 👍👊🤘for autos I heard before that they start to flower when the plants roots develop and hit the bottom of the container
Les goooo. Sunday at work just got better
Love the transparency.✊🏽 Appreciate the knowledge.
I stopped using fish and blood meal fertilizers because higher levels of metals like lead, mercury, and cadmium. Which all goes into the plants. And if reusing same soil or spots it's builds over time.
Im currently 31 day flower, these 9 sativa dominate black berry's have never NOT had a deep red/purple stems, HUGE big healthy fan leaves and just went through a hurricane... these baby's chilled out and were dark for a couple days... still being fed ect. 100% doing fine. No deficiencies. Temperature has been perfect the past few days on cycle. White popcorn buds are starting to shoot orange/pink hairs. Most the stems and even into the lower stems are crimson in color, very healthy. Namaste.
Awesome video! Learned several new things from this! Jeremy constantly provides great info!!
“In organics we don’t pin point” instantly a mental image of the antagonistic nutrient interaction circle popped up. For the guy drying outdoors, maybe use a large black trash bag for each whole plant to slow down the process.
I decided to try dry amendments in coco. I know it's frowned upon but I just love the growth i get from coco. It actually did good but I overfed and hermed all 4 of my plants through stress. I'm back using salts now. But I really think it can work if I fed less. I didn't consider watering coco so often actually fed too much. Maybe one day I will order a build a soil premix and do this the right way lol! Great show Jeremy as always!! 🙏🙏🙏
Ive had my living soil goin for going on four years now still goin strong im using all compost to amend using the urban worm bag i seen watching your show thanks man.

Works great
When I do my autos, I start them in plugs under a dome and at the first root poking out I drop it into the life cycle pot. I can keep conditions ideal, it doesn't really notice the transplant because the root has just barely made it out of the plug, and I can make sure it's a viable seed instead of wasting a potful of dirt for a failed sprout. It's been getting really good results for me so far. I'm not an expert by any means but it works for me.

Aloha Jeremy 🌺 this episode kept my mind attentive to say the least. So interesting, questions great, but the answers all came with with "talk story" the behind the scenes, da kine!
Just the other week my friend was concerned that his plant had purple stems earlier in his plant, I hadn’t seen this and because I know the genetics as I gave him the clone so I suggested it could be nitrogen but I recommend he used a complete organic feed like fish mix. Almost the same suggestion here and I’ll add that it worked!
I'm a newbie at growing bud in grow tents , get my seeds from a well known distributor ...I just love your informative content ...I have grown outdoors with some success over the year and with some failures also ....Thanks for all your videos
Awesome series as always guys, each series gets better and more informative, don't ever stop! Now for my question- What is your expert opinion on fox-tailing? I get it on most of my buds closest to my light, on almost every grow, which I have put down to light stress, as I'm working in very tight limitations in regards to my groom dimensions. I just wanted to know your opinion on whether you think it is a good/bad sign, and whether the additional growth is simply 'extra' bud growth and just as good to smoke as the rest of the plant? Thanks for your awesome efforts guys, very much appreciated!
Jeremy - easier for the cup-in-cup thing is to just take large scizzors and cut a slit down two opposing sides of the clear cup. It'll drain, the outer cup will hold it together, but at transplant you can open it like a clamshell and remove the thing without turning it upside down and getting soil everywhere.
Awesome!!! Love the FAQ
All my indica dominant strains have purpled out in last week's cold spell. Just chopped tonight under the full🌕 last year I let 2 plants go until mid November into frosty weather and they turned almost black😮
I do like your videos. I germinated 6 GSC autos and a few days after that I moved them into the 5 gal. hot soil pots, These plants have not suffered or been stunted. These girls are 80 some days old and in their 4th week of flowering, obviously they have not flowered early.
Every auto I've grown has flowered when it hit the bottom of the pot. I don't transplant anymore because of this.. I've experienced it several times

You have to be very careful if you are going to transplant autos. You can't veg them as long as you normally would an auto in a solo cup before transplant.. Basically you have to transplant right as the 3 node is appearing. So that way the roots haven't had time to fill the cup and the tap root should just be starting to hit bottom... But you are correct mostly in the fact that too much root zone stress will cause a auto to flower earlier then if started in a final pot.

@@horstseehofer7130 even in dwc when the root zone becomes too stressed you will start flower early. Ie like a kraky method or even having your roots fill the resivor so much that the roots start finding the air source ( pump airstone filter...ect) but ultimately done right yes you could possibly wind up with a bigger plant on average because it doesn't have to use the energy to push through soil

Hey Jeremy another great FAQ! I would add on the sprayers...neem oil...mix what you're gonna use n use it all. I made the mistake of using a mix that sat in my sprayer for a few weeks...it killed 2 of my plants! Now, I use it, rinse n like you leave it open. Lesson learned the hardest way.

Me love those purple colors. I grow outside in the northeast n get those cold nights at end of flowering. Love the beautiful fall colors on my plants.
FAQ. Benefits and differences between making your own enzyme solution from corn, barley alfalfa etc. SST's vs using the Rootwise Enzyme Elixer? Are there any secondary benefits from making your own? Is one "better" than the other? Thank you for the education and entertainment!

Loving all the info
Thanks for answering all the questions you did. See you next time.
Also, last grow I stressed the hell out of my plants. You could look at the stems and see the periods when they went through the stress through the purpling and back to green.
Hot dang, straight off the bat with the food analogy science - damn that’s good
Ants mean possible aphids.
One of my worst runs with Autos was when I tried to start them in Cups and transplant. I am not an expert by any means on transplanting and the entire process was quite stressful for both myself and my plants. I am back to sowing my seeds directly into the Earthbox with some seedling soil filling the hole.
So much great info!!! You da man!
Thank you for making this video, Great content!
Im smoking my popcorn buds that didn’t dry right and smell like grass but it’s still great weed
Also I’ve heard that what you call down time for a soil to be sitting there is called cooking it. Basically it gives the microbes a chance to create more available nutrients and can greatly enrich the soil for the next grow to come. This is good unless you go to nutrient lockout. I test my run off water for ppm count hydroponic style with soil plants so I know what the plants really experience with super good response all the way around. Control the soil feed to hydroponic schedules for THE best smoke.

So I’m a rookie at growing and just have two outdoor plants, one is 95% green and the other one is about 95% purple I mean the whole plant, I would love to send you a picture, I fed them the fish food and I’m only a couple of days away from harvest yet the flowers are green just basically every leaf on the plant is purple, i’m sure there’s a ton of things I did wrong or didn’t do at all but these seem to have produced a lot of good product, very very frosty with a ton of crystals all over the sugar leaves and flowers, I watched your video on harvesting and drying and I’m hoping for the best, thanks for all the good information
Phenomenal content 🌱
Absolutely love the channel and series guys!!! Quick noobie question here though... Does organic soil have to be run at a specific ec for different stages of plant growth as is the case with synthetics and coco? Is it safe to use a high ec soil that's organic and rich in microbial activity? What's a safe range to aim for when mixing ammendments? Thanks in advance and keep the awesome coming 💪
Honestly with the number of plants that I cycle per year it is much easier for me to use three or five gallon pots containing 18 to 24 inch plants each yielding 3 oz approximately. I bounce between square and round pots and use a simple Coco Pearl based organic medium. I am able to do a synganic grow style giving me organic quality with mineral yields. Truly it is 90 plus percent organic inputs. But in order to not be wasteful that soil gets collected and used outside for all of my outdoor growing purposes after being used in an indoor cycle. It gives me a great base to start with as I expand my planting beds Outdoors and then I can always add extra compost, worm castings, and other mediums to my liking. I grew up with the older generation that went through the depression so believe me I understand waste not want not. And I believe that most people who truly enjoy growing medicinals also end up expanding from indoors to outdoors and from medicinals to vegetables and other flowers. Might as well get as much mileage as we can from our products that we purchase right?
This channel is awesome. Ima go off ur vids for my next grow..well as far as my financial situation alows it I guess.
i have learned recently that if you lower the light intensity on auto flowers you will reduce the "trigger" of flower on them. just FYI gromie. Much luv fam!!!
Thank you for the great info.
I had a qeurkle that always had purple stems. if it locked up or went deficient the stems would go black. it was green ass weed with purple stems and leaf stems. very cool looking.
I haven't grown any autos myself. I do help new growers and they do. It's very popular for new growers to jump on whatever hype. Autos have been hyped for a little while now. It seems like it dosent take much to get them triggered. Anything out of the ordinary seems to do it. Nutrients included. They want the same enviroment and situation the whole time. Not very forgiving. This is why I don't mess with them. I will say the best I've seen has come from well controlled hydro setups. It's so easy to uptake nutes that if you hit the sweet spot they get huge. Hydro just blows them up. Soil seems to really slow them down if it's not dialed in specifically to what they like. From my experience as a soil grower I just grow photos. If I want a small plant I can stilll have it.
Ants became a huge problem in my backyard garden in Phoenix this August. Definitely helped aphids spread and killed a lot of plants. I’d highly recommend sugar and borax traps for anyone growing outdoors in the heat as a preventative.

I use a coco coin for the Auto seed, they grow to 2 inches long, I put the seed in, as soon as i see it pop, i put the coco coin with seed in the forever home, before the root shoots through the coin. Sorted.
i found on autos if the root hit the bottom of your container they start flower if you trans plant you have to catch it before roots touch the bottom
My Pachypodium's stems become purple every beginning of summer went I put it outside in direct sunlight. After a few weeks it is back to beautiful green. This whole process happens without giving any nutrients. It seems directly related to the heavy sunlight that it was not accustomed to in the winter.
Great info, and very humble.
Thank you
Love you guys
Got some ancient og f4 (purple stem pheno) that has all purple stems but green leaves and bud as of week 5 flower. Extremely frosty and very favorable calyx/leaf ratio and fast open structure grower with Christmas tree shape left untopped/trained. Consistent across all phenotypes so far. Kinda pissy, earthy, and dried fruit, lemony smell.

I do mostly photos, but next run is gonna be autos.

From my own experience, my purple stems appear once i set my plants from outdoor to indoor. I usually start my plant outside in pots, but come september they are moved inside under LED lights. 14 days after they get inside, stems have gone purple - every time.

I think it’s just genetics cuz I’m new to growing and I’m indoor in a 10x5 and most of my plants have purple/pinkish stems
Autos tend to go in to flower if then are root bound. I think this is cos the come from permafrost land race if they have the room they can get 7ft tall
I broke a top off a plant by mistake in training. It became a clone and it shows purple stems and the other not. As a hydroponic plant I’ve been feeding them both mid flowering feed not early for the broken top one. Thus the purple has to be feed stress alone. Make sense? you just said it as I type. Good work.
