Them white boys know how to grow fashooo!!!
Mars Hydro has some nice Far Red (730nm) Bars Ive been using. They works great for anyone wanting to try it without buying a tunable light.
I never heard of these dudes but just checked out their site and damn they have some super 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Well that was educational for everyone. Thanks for pressing your guests to give us all some dope tips. Respect
😎🔥🔥💪
Roast beef on rye with provolone sauce foo
And still illegal in uk🥲
This is the era of 15 min highs . Candybars Taste good but left hungry for more. Never satisfied… go back 20 yrs and blend that stuff. Not the saMe gelatos and cookies and ogs and wonder why the scene is boring. The sherbert terp is good the 1st time. But to smoke 20 varieties and they all are either lcg (runtz) or sherb terp is playing out the scene. Piff is king lol catch up guys
Anyone know if HPS can be used with LED in a 5×5 ft. tent or is that too much heat?
What are the solid LEDs that he's talking about?
Dawg I am 9 almost 10 years clean. Before fentanyl or any of this weird shit out here came. I just started my first grow after studying, watching, talking , asking questions and I am killing it. I over analyze, over think, over prepare, more more more. Fiend is correct.
This plant has saved my life and I am grateful you have shared your story with us fam. It’s given me a great deal of inspiration.
Anyone tried far red in veg
When mobile jay talks about manipulating his irrigation strategy to control ph run off is that like pushing more run off so the medium ec is lower or is he aiming for smaller dry backs?
The minute he mentioned cooking burritos different…..I was fuckin sold 🤣 someone give these guys the Nobel peace prize already!!!
I have watched this interview at least 3 times already
Ken Estes said the other day don’t pass up the runt in a fen hunt he said sometimes their the strongest ones
CSI Humboldt Caleb believes in S1’s
So what are the best LED they talking about? Thinkgrow model H?
@GROWMAU5 put me on far red / different light recipes a while back — really good podcast! thank you guys
Big inspiration ❤
I grow outdoors in far northern California, and I like Twenty20 Mendocino because they sell 100 packs of seeds. Their fem strains are stable, and they have great genetics. This was a very interesting discussion. I also grow indoors on a small scale (20' x 24' canopy), and I grow in rockwool. I hand feed every feeding.
I Laughed when I saw the episode was 2 hours, but then easily watched every single minute of it 😆 great work & thanks for sharing 🌱💨💨
I love these dudes! ❤🙏👊
New podcast to watch and listen to
I introduced a hps back into the garden a few weeks ago so this has got me really excited. About to run a pack of their candy bonez. Lets go!!!
This always gets me fired up, over the past 16 years. I'm consistently mildly interested in growing. I watch something like this. After growing the super boof. HYPED! Love listening the s**t like this and want too grow better. Much love, great content🙌
I got the packs Fr fr don’t sleep
If you get higher yeild and less quailty from led compared to hps you are 1000% doing something wrong
4pounds per light yeah right!
Was gonna buy beans and then the gate keeping… lost me. GTFO.
Not often I bust out the notepad, but this was full of awesome information. Also that Snapple was bomb af.
Amazing interview, thank you for sharing the tech 🙏
Good stuff but why the host wearing short shorts that threw me off
Another amazing podcast.. Love from Kentucky
Jay at 20 mins in. No doubt!
my organic garden doesn't have a single visual stress sign in it. nothing but vibrant green stalks and dark green thick leaves. i do a mix of both though, synganic.
A lot of us home growers have been doing under canopy lighting for multiple years now, and far red 660-720 has been a thing for years now. 15 minutes before and after your 11+ hrs of 4k . Im definitely going to try your light recipe
🔥🔥🔥thank you!
6 years clean off the bs, had the talk with God and here I am. Such a relatable duo, new fan! 317
Bro that runs the podcast is to smooth
I love the beanfiendz team from bonez to mittenmaster & mobilejay 💯🫡
Brandon just squeeze all the information out 🔥🔥🔥
