No Panic! Its Organic!
Brandon Rust you inspired to go to college and further my education, I truly appreciate you 🙏🏻
What if I have been working on a project and think I have something what do I do
60 years seemed a bit low to me, so I researched. We got around 300 years left of phosphate, if we go on as we do now.
grandmaster leds bro!!! u pick ur own spectrum!!! program ur own or pick from pre sets! u want hps setting? ok set it u want mh ok set it!! fucking dope!!!!
Hey dude???? At 1 hr 19 minutes….you said you "HIRE THE RIGHT PRRSON FOR THE JOB???:" ummmm, I hope you're considering DEI….and highering Asians, Muslims, jews, African Americans, women, gay and trans, in the SAME %. Doesn't matter I theyre best for the job…..Democrats say, its not the best person for the job, its about diversity and equity. You can't just higher the best chemist. He/She/They/Them has to be the best chemist thats checks the correct boxes…that is of the right religion, sexual orientation, color, gender.
HIRE THE BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB??? THATS SEXIST AND RACIST and other "ists".
Plesse god tell me you hear the ridiculousness of this message. The worse thing about it????? DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION.
VOTE REOUBLICAN!!!!!! BEST MAN OR WOMAN FOR THE JOB!!!
There are only 3 truths in life:
1. THERE ARE 2 GENDERS
2. GOD IS REAL
3. FACTS DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR FEEKINGS.
GREAT SHOW
His relationship with the plant is of an Ayahuasca curandero.
What a great interview with a great Man, he is super smart down to Earth setting a great example for the up and coming Generation . That right there is a true Gentleman, I had to go over to his website and grab some beans Ive been wondering how and where to find his work , so happy now I know
I just ordered that green Bodhi veg and flower mix and some other stuff. Can’t wait to try it!

Viable seed collector.
When did Brandon get his degree in biology? Last I knew he was self taught
If lights are using the same leds, the spectra isn't going to vary much between manufacturers. Samsung 301h seem to be the current gold standard and they are all the same, so there won't be much variance in spectrum between any light using them.
My buddy just finished a run under a Fohse light it was 1 plant in a 100 gal pot living soil. He got 7 1/2 lbs nest run he's doing full 400 gal . It was mendo style in a barn fu#$ing nuts !!!!
His advice about ideas and acknowledging belief systems, reminds me of my Uncle. Real thinkers. He also works with NASA.
What was the name of the l e d company that was mentioned
It'd be great to make some home grown meds at some point, really glad to hear a deep dive into things that I'll have to consider to make it go well. Inspirational!
I wish this dude knew how to say especially
We don't need mined materials to produce good food for the world , just need to plant good plants and stop spreading poison
Can’t wait to see your TNB Naturals video!❤❤❤🎉 we will post it all over our social media platforms that reach over 3 million people
We’re running out of potassium like when in the 80-90’s said we weee running out of oil
Brandon For President.
Like the headies!! 2002,2004 crystals shining 60$ n 8th shit sticking to to mirror.. no more 😢
I love when u can smell it through the J or the L… Nothing better when you can smell that s*** coming from your pocket
Great episode as I grow with a nutrient line that is made completely from humates full of carbon called smart carbon from Bokashi Earthworks and NASA Agriculture collaboration and I absolutely love it. I also grow completely organically and amend my living soil with organics and analytics from soil tests with Logan Labs so my soil stay balanced and I tailor it to my needs then feed accordingly which with the soil I create means low nutrient needs and more clean water!!!! Cheap high quality results
pff sitting here today thinking if i should use big bud with my organic gaia green grow lol.. ended up giving em silica blast and b52 from advance ill hit em with the big bud next week then lol ay u ever do a full advance nutes grow??
I’m so confused, so this guy is? Or isn’t Will Sasso?
Thanks very much 🙏
First smoke of the day is the best 💯💚💪
I wonder why the guy didn’t deep dive into why ATP is used in us for energy. If plants use ATP to process for energy that’s amazing! Fr
So blessed 🤤
Those books are important should post links on how and where to get them.

Best episode I’ve heard on this channel. Learned a lot listening to this
What he talking about ammonium in Jacks and Athena? It’s barely there but could be none I suppose?
At 8 years old you were just a lil' junkie smoking weed 😂
Ain't nothing "spiritual" about it at that point.
I get it if you're in your late teens or adult but 8 years old?
Come on really…..😂
holy shit i thought you were the comedian Will sasso, you two look like twins wtfff !!
When I was a teen I wanted to be the guy that everyone knows and loves and cheers for
@ 1:51:01 D.R.RIP Wish this had been broken down Brandon gave the signal to ask about it with that line it was plain as a wake n' baked day to see.
!!!WARNING!!! to all: don't overuse your endocannabinod system it's one of the few ways that can lead to death from cannabis usage, and it's the single system that connects, and causes the other systems in your body to run smoothly hence really don't fuck it up! Synthetic cannabinoids can cause overdose resulting in death.
I'm not sure if the semi-synths could possibly be ingested in a quantity that it could cause overdose, but I'm betting they could lead to CHM at a higher rate with these hemp converted cannabinoids like THCP, THCO having grater affinity to the CB1 receptors would help to downregulate the receptors so you would be more likely to need a higher consumption threshold, and a much higher overall consumption intake in every aspect. Sounds like a recipe for many more people to destroy their ECS.
Another sad outcome due to the century of backwards ass thinking that we find ourselves in the last few decades of. I can only dream of a world where we never went through a war on drugs, and how far we might have progressed, and not only that, but entire course of human history has been completely changed as well. Like I said I can only dream.
wow this dude has blown my mind and im only 25 some min in.
Cheers Everyone first soke fam
Blackleaf! I might be a bit of a dick sometimes, but I respect the hell out of you and this episode shows why…this episode is one for the ages…any grower that views themselves as a grower should watch this multiple times, perhaps just when trimming a bunch of buds…but thank you for this episode…and thank you Brandon you absolute legend? For imparting the wisdom!
I’m def not a huge FSOTD supporter, but I finally listened to this episode because of Brandon and am so glad I did. There was more information uncovered here that I hadn’t heard before, and the FSOTD hosts did a great job in questioning and offering some great analogies of what was being said, and allowed the interview to not be about them. B Rust is gonna make whatever podcast he’s on be on point and be packed full of verifiable goodness you can always be assured of that. Even the lunchtime rants in the office. Some just create the vibe wherever they are. 🦾💯
