I grew some massive plants in clay by working it and adding compost to aeration the clay some dolomite and I was surprised how big they got this was hard clay when I started my plants got to 14 feet in shit clay
i've used a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution and it fluffs up the soil a bit, not sure if that's a good thing to do, didn't seem to affect the plant's
Hey guys 👋 I grew in 30 gallon fabric pots this year but next year I want to grow outdoors in my native soil but I have a ton on clay. How can I amend it?
I did a large outdoor plant and it had extreme good health and made absolutely huge buds. My soil is as horrible as you can possibly find in the Midwest, I don't think I've ever seen anything quite this bad.
I dug a really huge hole deep and wide. I got rid of all that hard clay and used it for fill somewhere else. I replaced all of that with some bagged soil from Home Depot and a bunch of homemade compost. Added in a bunch of blood meal and bone meal.
Several times a week I would go out there and I have this little handheld claw thing with four prongs on it. I would take that thing and poke a bunch of holes in the soil all around the plant to aerate it. I did one other plant in a 13 gallon pot that was made from a clone of the other plant that I put in the ground. I gave it pretty much the same treatment.
I think next year I'm going to do the same thing except I'm going to add some Coco coir and maybe some perlite to it just to give a bit more aeration. But I'm not going to use a huge amount of those things because I don't think they provide any nutrients. I'm just going to add enough of them to give it a bit more aeration. I didn't think the compost seemed to have a big problem with compaction, but I'll know better when I dig up the roots on this thing.
I think using a bunch of compost that has a big diversity of vegetation is really good for keeping a good pH. I make the compost from a bunch of weeds grass clippings and leaves, plus everything from my kitchen waste that is appropriate, including eggshells. I never tested pH in my life and I've never seen any signs at all of problems with my soil pH. I think the compost was the key to keeping things right. The bagged soil that I used was cheap stuff called Kellogg raised garden soil. I added blood and bone meal pretty regularly and occasionally some other stuff called Morbloom 0-10-10 occasionally. About three or four times I put in some miracle grow Bloom booster 15-30-15. But I didn't use a very large dose of that.
I think the Kellogg soil by itself is not that great, but if you fortify it with other stuff it's fine. I think I used about 30% to 40% compost. I got close to 3 lb out of this plant. After I have finished drying and curing it I will know for sure how much, but it's looking pretty good. I got this stuff drying out in the basement and my house fucking stinks to high heaven everywhere. Now I need to get some jars.
It works and that some… I am inside and autdore grower and I heve ewry year some big bushes! You have right do, I am amending them with Perlite and now they are even bigger and busier. But clay is wery good for Cannabis becose it has many Macro and Micro elements and I must heve to water them 3thimes a grow and dets it. Becose is so dens! With Perlite is great medium!!!
You always mention coco and how you love it. what brand coco do you use?
You've mentioned that different brand suck because the coco isn't washed thorough enough. I'd like to try growing in coco. I don't want to have to deal with saturated soil anymore.
I dealt with saturated soil in my last 2 grows. It really takes a toll on the growth of the plants. I use Promix ho which is a really fluffy soil with lots of perlite. But for some reason, when I flushed my soil these last 2 grows, it just wouldn't dry. I had to dig up the plants and manually fluff the soil back up. And man, I don't want to have to be doing that all the time.
I’m having some first time growers stress. My plants are growing pretty slow it’s been a couple of weeks and not much has changed. I really don’t want to give up but I’m definitely at the point of just saying F this. I tried looking for tips and nothing seems to be working out for me 😢
I love coco perlite 70/30. Great aeration and I control all the nutrients going in😊
I luv to gently tape planters with rubber mallett wtf yas think thunder does it airates soil😁
Hey Scotty wanna rep a promo code:-) much love from TNB my friend ❤❤🎉🎉

Is it possible to mix a lightmix with 30% coco? 🤔🤔
Or just with perlite
🤘🪴💚
youre my favourite mad scientist in the space.should smoke a joint with bugbee and bro science us up
Is in your tent 😊
If you are like me with a old android phone I found that the growlab website functions better then the app.
i grow with coco perlite i always wondered what it would be like to grow in coco adding the small sized clay pellet instead of the perlite
Bro needs a pop shield and a change of energy!
so not free then
Sorry Scott about you mentioning vermiculite as an airation product. Lots of people make that mistake. Vermiculite is better for water retention.
Great video man,
Proper Wet/Dry Cycles help keep the fresh air flowing

Right on par Scottie

I use Promix-HP with Advanced Nutrients, getting great results. Thanks for the videos
I grow in coco and I still aerate my water (to flash off the chlorine gas), I recommend everyone aerate their water.
Easy way to get more air to your roots.

Good info brother
So, in the sip bucket, if you mix all the grow dots in, does the coco wick up to the top? Or do you water from the top?
1/3 perlite in your soil mix will really help with soil compaction and aeration.
I have a bag of air for sale 2.99 for a 1 lbs bag 😂😅
