Why can't everyone get to the point like you can. Thank you for getting straight to the point and just giving us golden nugget after golden nugget. Geez man! These other videos with their redundant long intros and taking forever to get to the point…
Lol you people with marijuana smokeing ,, you really needed mental help ,, you really sick ,, .. get some real help ! Oh by the way allergies and allergic has the highest rate then your so called fake issues if allgeries not really important to you then you do needed mental help ! Thats the facts . Not fiction !
Yep, I remember when I was a kid, throwing seeds out a kitchen window at my friend’s house. A few months later cannabis was coming up around the hedges. We got in trouble.
Hey Lex good job on your videos. They are very informative and easy to follow. I have a question for you. I have used a mix of soil, sphagnum peat moss, and pearlite. It is grainy feeling and holds good moisture for about 2-3 days. From the time it popped out of the soil – 2 weeks it has first set of 3 digit leaves, the 5 set of digit leaves, and is growing its set of 7 digit leaves. I guess its on node 4 not counting the cotyledons. Sorry for the long paragraph, but I guess my question is this, is that an extreme amount of growth and would you say its because of the mix I came up with. Showed some pictures to a friend and they thought the plant was 4-6 weeks old. Anyways I'm going threw more of your videos because I like the way you are honest. Keep up the good work.
I've been using compost that I make myself, mixed with coco-coir and perlite. I've had nothing but excellent results. I use micronutrients and organic nutrients when needed
couple of years ago, i got a few seeds, to test them, i grabbed some coffee cups, filled them with backyard dirt, and planted the seeds after germinating them using the paper towel method. i did that in october no less, on my windowsill. and i had 80% germination rate and they all grew nice and healthy, i gave them to my friends. kept the one that i thought was going to die. it didn't, fast forward till april next year and i harvest a few grams of weed from that tiny plant that grew from october to april. it survived longer through the next winter. now i'm trying to grow in the springtime. with proper herbling soil and taking care of it with everything i know. and i'm getting 30% of the seeds turning into seedlings and they never grow the first pair of real leaves. idk wtf is going on right now. been trying 2 months and all failed starts
Best results I’ve seen were with living soil and oyster shell top dressing and water. Came great. Didn’t get any deficiencies finishing either. Organic soil is so problematic though. Competition of the microbes is the problem. Make your own or buy decent medium. Know what’s in it! Buy a microscope and familiarize yourself with what in your soil. Remember in goes on your body.
I know this video is old but do you know much about Fox Farms. Specifically their ocean forest line of soil and if it’s quality or not? Also if you know anything about their nutrients I wouldn’t mind that info as well! Thanks anyone who can help!!!!!
You are one articulate guy. Not a lot of that on YouTube. Especially amongst the Cannabis related fare. Additionally, I farmed in the Sandy Loam of the great San Joaquin Valley for years. Unbelievable soils, light, water and air exchange. The Fruitbasket of America. Nice Video.
just started growing to help a frend from spending to much growing in a grow bag have a plant but smale forth week had in a cubbord whith normal spots but started smelling so no in window warm and natceral ligt sorry for spelling
I saw one interview by a Kenyan tv crew in Malawi, in which one of the growers stated that the best soil there was a sandy loam. My guess is that because of the high humidity near Lake Malawi, drainage is more important.
I know it has been said a million times in the comments but your information and videos are so succinct and to the point. Love it. I always get a clear answer fast that can help me take my skills to the next level. Keep them coming!
Thank you! I've had a two-plant setup and one of my walk-in closets for some time. I found it hard to kill a weed plant. They are indeed very resilient, it grows on the side of roads, and for all our fancy equipment for millions of years is needed nothing but water soil and sunlight. I think the recent uptick on YouTube of people pushing fancy complicated setups in soil mixtures is more about selling products than it is about growing plants. Just my two cents, I like your video, like your channel, one of the more honest ones out there
Lex your the only one with this info. Please do a video on soilless medium Pro mix and the ph and nutes and u will have covered everything. Peace n love bro. You tube soil ph and see what u get and u will know what I mean

Slowww downnn ma mann ! U cant take us too deeep like that why you so colddd blooded ?😂
Wood ash is good for increasing pH and has potassium (pot ash)
Man, that was the bomb – great video. Thank you very much.
Had a hard time getting to your content, 777
Update please preferred ratios to get Loamy soil ?

lex rocks
Love this guy! An excellent teacher. Reduced my anxiety about starting my first crop!

do videos more like for outdoor growing, isn't that fact they have richest cannabinoid profile, right?

Is eggs good for Cannabis plants.

Definitely a video everyone should watch. Cottonseed meal will lower pH as well, also high in nitrogen.
What are the soils you recommend? Ty
Hi lex which soil would u recommend if I'm in UK??
Outstanding, thank you
Why you wearing sunglasses inside doing a video
$5 to $10 or more for a 30L bag of garden soil, where did this saying "dirt cheap" come from?….

I appreciate your videos brother. I really like your curing video too.
Hi what do you think of fox farm ocean forest.
I'ma new grower, and truly grateful for this video bro, really broke down the science. Good Shit Brotha!
I just stared growing and added bananas to my soil do you think this will benefit my plant
Industrial hemp Hurd makes a Wonderful compost for cannabis

The Fruitbasket of America. Nice Video.
Whats better for maximum yield? The Advanced Nutrients or Bio Bizz Products? 🙂

04:20 Silty soil.
That's awesome to know.
