Redbud Soil Company is an all organic garden Store and Website supplying gardeners of all types, products to help grow plants naturally. We don't discriminate on what plants we help you grow, but we do focus solely on organic grow methods for those plants.
We are not here to upsell you on products that don't belong in your garden. Gardens are not one size fits all, so collecting data from your garden is crucial to figure out what your garden is actually in need of.
For this reason we offer soil & sap testing for a multitude of plants. With this information, you can pinpoint nutrition in most any crop, thereby only using what you need, and ultimately saving money long-term.
Our KZread is here to share techniques and information we feel you could benefit from as a gardener. We in no way want you to think this info is the "end all be all", and would hope that you further your education in gardening with other creators, authors, and research papers.

my water comes out of the tap at 9.5
I'm actually wanting to do an updated version of this video, because we have partially changed our stance on this. When you are super high like yours, we do recommend now to bring it down some. We don't shoot for a certain number, but if you could get it in the 7s that would be good.
@@RedbudSoilCompany I appreciate the update and am happy to see that your stance has changed.
We are all always learning and growing. We are no different than anyone else. I also like to keep content up even though we may have changed our minds on it some or entirely. I just need to do better on making update videos. 🤷♂️
@@RedbudSoilCompany I love it! Keep up the good work.
So regarding nutrients: Soil testing and top dressing to keep a baseline longterm and then fine tuning with sap testing and foliars in the short term. The Organics alive nutrients to continuously add a bit of nutrients that are consumed? Can one also use small amounts of top dressings continuously according to what was consumed in the previous cycles? Thanks for the info!
I woukd only top dress based off of a soil test. If you wanted to break up the application over a couple of times that would be fine. However top dressing every week is just not necessary.
how would you answer the buildasoil series which I believe has had soil testing done on one bed at least twice and has run through the results, which have been balanced and not shown excess or deficiency despite using blends. not being combative, just posing a live example from a prominent supplier to continue the conversation. one counter argument straight off the bat is that they are on season four, so not loads of runs deep yet.
Every company or person that balances nutrients has their own numbers that they "believe" represent a balanced soil. There is no universal number. We do hundreds of tests constantly, and very rarely is a soil balanced at any point after the first month. We do see it occasionally, but not very often. I would take it a step further and say you need to look at sap testing because that is the real story of what the plant is taking up. Using a premade top dress is kind of an out dated way of doing things, and is still only pushed because it generates sales.
Where do I buy the plastic frames and cloth please
These will be available on our site.
😂 nice subliminal hug
Nothing but ❤️
Is one tensiometer good enough for the entire grow? Like can I water each plant with it to proper levels and pull it out to check each of my 24 plants individually because it seems pretty ridiculous to buy 24 of them considering a GOOD one is 100+
One can work for sure.
I like you guys. Keep the info coming. Really appreciate it
can we substitute the FPF Grain Extract with Femented plant juice that we make ourselves?
Totally different things. If you jave a fulvic product on hand you could use it.
What’s your average yeild per bed and how many palnts are in each bed
I was bad with the over and underwater
I'm gonna have to pass
What are the accepted attributes of a healthy, nutrient dense cannabis plant ? Is it fair to say many growers, new or otherwise, actually don’t know what optimal health is when it comes to cannabis??? It’s kind of the point of testing right?🦚
You nailed.
Dude were you in 1-1 AD? You look so familiar
I am not 2011 years old.
Someone i know started using processed soil that has activated charc. Could this over saturate the roots. He Also uses basic fertilizing brands to help out but it looks like a root lockdown but not sure
Just hit the top like a bong. Fill it and then stuck the air out. Takes 2 seconds.
Best suggestion yet 👌
lmao great timing. I just went and bought distilled water and was in the process of setting mine up for the first time!
Lol I smack mine around all the time... irrometer tensiometers are a must in a bed imo... cheers fam 🙏
Timing couldn’t be better I’m setting up irrometer tomorrow 😂
Dude I just called and talked to yall about the irrometer and rv filter placed my order waiting for delivery soon ...thanks redbud ✌
Couldn't you just soak the tip separately then assemble everything underwater so there isn't any air to create bubbles?
You'll still get air bubbles when you fill it.
No need to fill. If all the parts are submerged under water then they would already be filled. Just tossing out a guess since I haven't tried it yet
I wouldn’t think this would work as you can create air bubbles under water. It’s worth a shot though for sure, maybe it’d speed up the setup process!
@@shawnsmith676 yeap, that was mi first thought when a saw them struggling to fill it up, I will set up mine tomorrow will just take it apart then assemble everything back under water 🤩
Never thought to bleed the gauge. Thanks for the update
So how many would you want to use in a 4x8 bed?im outdoor how often do you usually water per week? Are drippers a good ideal to for the whole bed or hand watering with a sprayer. Yo where do you get your mulch from
1 is enough. You can move it every week or so if you want. Watering schedule is based of plant size, Temps, humidity, etc., but typically after a few weeks of veg, we water everyday indoor and outdoor. I like droppers, thats a good way to automate things a bit. We sell this mulch in store and on our website.
Thanks!
Great video! I used the originals to set mine up for my first grow. It was an invaluable tool, especially since I made the mistake of running 5 gallon pots, to be able to water consistently.
I've got two. Wouldn't leave home without them. Thanks for updating this guys!

What is the difference between Logan Labs and A&L? I've used Logan once and was able to work out my results using information available from Steve Solomon's book, The Intelligent Gardener. Will the A&L report supply the same information in a way that I can geek-out on my own, or at least understand y'alls recommendation? Appreciated!
Big difference is a and l uses a mild acid to extract. Logan labs test was created for soil with clay in it. Soiless media doesn't have clay in it, so we choose to use a lab like a and l because their test is specifically used for soiless media. The results will be different, and honestly if what you are doing is working, stick with it.
@@RedbudSoilCompany Appreciated!
Will any drug administration actually accept this as a proper SOP? Is seems very vague from what iam used to. But very useful for the non GMP compliant/small scale/home production. I hope it does not come of as rude, it is a very nice schedule you have made and thank you so much for sharing and providing good quality content.
I honestly think it would be very difficult to get a living soil grow gmp compliant. The "living" part kind of runs it when it comes to gmp. Pretty sad really.

How do you test soil? Send it us! Don't forget to send money too!
We literally make zero dollars off of soil testing, and give you a free recommendation, which others charge upwards of $100 for. But, sick burn dude. You got us.
Can you take a test if you have plants in it. And also can you get a test of the microbes in the soil I think I have root knot nematodes and what to deal with that b4 next summer
You can soil test anytime. By the end of the year, we will be offering microbial analysis tests as well.
Thanks been meaning to do this with you all but wasn't sure how.
Been waiting on this. Thanks guys!!
you guys should do a video on making leaf mould! and a video on an efficient worm castings set up
Who’s the Breeder on the killer cupcake? Where can I get some seeds?
"At about 22:00 (kzread.info/dash/bejne/k6RoksSyn8zcZ6g.html), you mention feeding the bed (Q3) to avoid depleting the bed for the next run, but you tell us that the bed is set for the run. So, which is it? Is it good to go, or does it need more? As far as running the bed again, upsell soil testing and do what Redbud does, which is to provide free soil analysis for your growers... hook, line and sinker!" Comment to J. Y'all be well!
Love suffoil x. I’m in Canada and got 9 gallons for $90. It will last me a decade
Thats an amazing deal. 👏
Two questions: 1.) Will soluble seaweed extract work as well as Kelp? 2.) This is random, but do you play the drums? The way you were holding that bamboo was weirdly similar to an oldschool technique called "traditional grip" where you invert your left hand.
Soluble seaweed is what we typically use. I have never played the drums, but always wanted to actually.
I’m wondering if this will work on pests on plants would I spray it? Or it’s enough to water the base of the plant with this?
You can spray this on plants. Would be good for fungal disease, etc.. not as much for pest prevention IMHO.
If there a lot of birds that come and go in your garden then let the worms go at sunset when birds start ending their day to find a place to roost for the night...or else the birds will do what birds do with worms. A light layer of dirt over worms and you watching during daylight will help them along. The sun helps warm them up, too.
Those dolly's are fire for many reasons!!! Great work!
Larry! Larry! Larry!
I need to find a good worm casting company that ships large amounts at a good price and warms feed good material to make them all the places I found feed the worms garbage inputs or they have no idea what they feed them and I got another 2 years before my 200 smart pot bin is done I use a lot of leaf mold and volcanic rock dust in my bins
Does not de-ionized (reverse osmosis) water naturally remineralize when it comes in contact with soil? Does not all water give or take minerals as a function of life itself? Alkalinity is everything. Chlorine? Not so much✌️
Ro water is like a solvent. It will pull minerals from the soil as it passes through. That being said, we have changed our stance on using ro water, because so many of our commercial customers on well water were having heavy metal issues. .25 gram gypsum per gallon in your ro water can help to remineralize.
You have taught me so much since you 1st opened the store! Thank you!
I would just use clay pebbles spend a few extra hundred you’ll get better results less bugs
Tensiometer has taken my grow to the next level. Being able to keep track of exactly how my watering effected my over all soil moisture level is outstanding. Wish I had this 5 years ago.
Glad it's working for you. It really is the game changer that every garden can benefit from.
So just Suffoil and water? Do you add any soap? Just did a 1oz per gallon spray and it seems to bead up and fall off the leaves pretty easy
I just use suffoil. The key is to use an electric sprayer(battery powered, only about 125 nucks) with adjustable tips that can get a real fine mist. Using pump sprayers isn't the move. I learned that first hand.
✌️great video! Still think (within reason and between field capacity and permanent wilting point) there needs to be some swing with respect to soil moisture. im sure important biology dies , but I feel like a lot goes dormant, and that’s what biologically complete compost extract is for 😉
Just thinking about nutrient cycling
Plus biofilms and microbes are so fuvkin resilient✌️❤️🦠
