What are we talking about regarding the Thrips SOP… You guys were talking about the concentration and application, but which compound/product/substance is used for the SOP
Very very high quality podcast, thanks a lot in advance
Kind regards
I have a question for breeders when creating seeds. What is the overall best feeding to develop healthy seeds in its appropriate time frame and what is that time frame. If anyone could answer that question I'd much appreciate thank you.
Hps and LEDs mixed together all the way , thats the way
PAR ==> ePAR !!!
50:58 you guys mention spiking the EC to finish and then a couple minutes later mention when his friends reservoir got too low and had a 6 EC, a few plants seemed like they wanted to finish early. Can you help me understand more about this? At what point should we spike EC to help ripen/finish?
Good interview
Is it an Athena thing to pump high EC? If I ran anymore than like 2.2 EC my poor girls would be fried to all hell lmao
Mimosa is a great strain. It’s true to its name in smell and taste. High def isn’t very hard hitting but it is definitely a great smoke flavor wise and in one that translates from the name to the smoke.
Amazing information helps me on level I can’t explain, respect for giving away the knowledge



Could y’all please do a lil question portion on every podcast just about irrigation schedules.
P1, 2,3 etc. shot sizes, lengths , shot counts, maintenance drybacks, nightly drybacks etc. that’s one area there isn’t a lot of info on. Appreciate it!!
As always dope podcast
This podcast is normalizing synthetic growing. You guys show off how intricate it can be
Leds are not that hard lol dudes sound like dumbasses lol
If you take something 20 percent, grow it, get 15, it's your fault. Grow problems. Imo. Seems like most feel they're doing something, by going backwards for a few years… Rookie move..
Thanks enjoyed the podcast nice job the Village.
Instead of sulfur have you heard of Osmoslay for killing the broad mites and russet mites? It is spray on, kills all soft bodied insects and mites (it imbalances the water molecules), doesn't stress the plants, short withholding period, non-toxic, no residue. Even works in a humidifier as a tent bomb. I don't want to post a link here cos I'm not advertising but you can google it. Its eradicated broad mites for me and has many confirmed kills under 1000x microscope.
It is just amazing the amount of crucial topics that they covered in this episode. Thank you very much guys. Awsome video
I love this podcast for the technical discussions
at 1:35:00 on plant density, Mike says 1.6 plants per sqft but later says 3 plants on a 5ft wide table. thats 1.66 sqft per plant not 1.66 plants per sqft which would be 8plants on a 5ft wide. just want to clarify that! great podcast, i learned a lot as always
Need that mimosa cut for deps
Budologist?
Yup
I would like to work under that men even for free

Thank you for the wealth of knowledge and info, appreciate you guys immensely.
