Such fire smoke these guys don’t play 💯
Fire episode… Alot of gems dropped 🔥🔥🔥
No flush, warmer temps, and fire fire fire
If you look at what they do in the regular agro industry, growing plants and food crops, you find they dont flush. SOMEHOW somewhere, thanks to high times, people all started flushing, because, BRO.. BRO… "the taste bro" (no you are NOT tasting "salts" bro jesus fing christ)
and BRO… "the ash bro" …. Hey bro, uh, if you burn something all the way, it'll turn from black to grey-white ash, cause thats what ash is. Black ash is a sign, DERP, you still have unburnt plant material left over.
Its like people have no brains.
Keep it coming
Enjoy the channel. How are you able to take so much time off work to travel? Are you retired? Thanks
💲💲💲💲💲
Brilliant episode guys such great chemistry between you all. Thanks for all the relatable knowledge bombs to help me step up my game in a home grow setting 👍🏻 💚 🇬🇧 🏴☠️ 😋
I use Rooted Leaf
I'll do a side by side with this Athena to see what the fuss about
So, Best nutrients are sourced from Central Europe, mines. athena runs greats if you havent seen dutch brands at the same ml per gallon. i run all athena chart blended and house and garden with heavy 16 fire on the other…cant tell the difference but they uptake athena more 100%
Calcium nitrate is not a mined mineral ?? Not everything in Athena is from the Earth. It’s definitely synthetic. It was synthesized in the factory. It was made not mined
shoutout to ATHENA 🙌🏽
Dope bro love this
Maybe add a few more adds next video
SAY Athena one more f×××ing time. I dear you too.
New grower here 😂 can’t wait to get my feet wet
Thanks for putting these out.
If science has proven that a photon is a photon and the amount gathered matters , not so much the spectrum. Why are people going against proven science ?
MH/HPS> LED all day everyday
Great SOPs here👌🔥🔥🫡
Tom and I have lived the same life 😂 everybody didn't and wouldn't believe me when I told em athena
Flushing is def bro science.. maybe cut nitrogen although some studies say that’s not great either. People fail in so many ways and then blame random shit..
15:38 two bags and cleanse and balance, that is it. What about fade? IPM and Stack?
Interesting to hear about the flushing! Thanks for sharing lads
Why i cannot find the channel thru the search, I thought you banned me wtf with youtube!!??
I’m tired of everybody saying they hitting 3-4 pounds a light. It’s ridiculous. They have to be weighing wet cuz ain’t no way
CHAMP IS ATHEANA ALL GOOD IN AUTO WICKING SYSTEMS LIKE SPIDER FARMER S 4 IN 1 SYSTEM WITH COCO AS MEDIUM?
GOD BLESS ✝️
💚
What's everyone's preferred plant count per square meter?
Would love to see Heavydutykevork on here
4 mins in and he has said “ you know “ like 11 times.
I can’t
HPS is king 💪🏽
Gassed
Very cool of them to share their sops! Congratulations on the success Growing Pains 👊
I also do the three week fade I do extensive research on my cultivar being from Massachusetts I have to get cultivar to handle a continental climate
It's all about carbon exchange in the substrate
Great pod. Bro on the right loves the sound of his own voice though 😂 buddy on the left needs to speak up
@20:00 drying is the worst so key…… you cant re dry twice I agree its fucked , .
Checking in from Czech Republic 💚
These dudes run more ads than netflix
The people’s champ
Thank you so much for information! I was in Spannabis 2025 and Athena gave me free starter kit that worth 140$
You are absolutely legends
It doesn’t have to work it just needs to sell
Crunch berries has been one of my favorite strains I’ve gotten recently.
Organic living soil for life 🤙
What is “bucking it” ?
