    snails really dislike moving trough sand and little rocks,
    i found in my garden the snails dont care if there is some metal around the plant or not

  6. @theresalwaysone8535 on October 19, 2024 at 8:58 pm

    Thank you so much for making this video. You hit the nail on its head for a lot of people who need answers for certain things. I will update on 2 of my plants.



  7. @Bloomcycle on October 19, 2024 at 8:59 pm

    My leaves droop then straighten out and repeat every 12 hrs . It’s an auto flower



  8. @ColbyScott-hr7gc on October 19, 2024 at 8:59 pm

    I wonder if transplanting straight into the ground will help growth reduction turn around and bugs bc i used soil that was sitting outside all winter and one it looked like it had mold in it and two now i see ants and other bugs all in the soil, my plants havent done a damn thing this year they just wont get taller i have one doing ok and was able to top but is only a foot and a half max smh they have been growing since late march beginning of april so maybe i have time to fix things i only have one plant with yellow leaves but i think its over water as well heat temps of 90Β°+ for the past couple weeks , its stressful

    This video is so good! The music, and you just covered anything to think of! Great man, jus great video!



  11. @TheGrandmaMoses on October 19, 2024 at 9:02 pm

    On PH: Yes, 5.5 to 6.5 is good.

    Yet, the plant itself ( by taking in and metabolising nutrients and giving away the metabolic products into the growing medium ) and the soil itself ( assuming you use soil to grow ) act upon this PH value before it reaches the plant and becomes important.

    A good soil as well as a balanced feeding schedule will help all these systems to act as a sort of buffer to PH, which in turn makes it so you can dump, say, 8.0 tap water in there and it will be transformed into an acceptable level by the time it actually reaches the roots.

    So yeah, do care about your PH! But the stunted growth you’re seeing when growing on soil most of the time will not be fixable by you correcting the PH. It will be fixed by you adjusting the other systems so that an ‘incorrect’ PH wouldn’t even matter as the ‘soil buffer’ is good enough to handle it on its own.

    Assuming you don’t dump 10.0 or 2.5 in there. Naturally. All within reason, say from 4.0 to 8.0. Coco Coir, that’s where PH starts to matter more and more, but on soil it most often is a red herring to lead you astray and hide the real problem.

    Opinion based on personal experience, not gospel or the only way to see things. Just an opinion.

    Also, thanks for the video, but the guy filling up the watering can from 4:50 onwards should be smacked really hard. And that’s not an opinion, that’s just common sense.

    Best explained video ive found. Thank you



  13. @martynaszlatkus3945 on October 19, 2024 at 9:05 pm

  14. @DennisThacker on October 19, 2024 at 9:05 pm

    Great video. Really thorough but to the the point.



  15. @adrianmiranda6094 on October 19, 2024 at 9:05 pm

    Good video need to watch it 2-3 times though to make sure u get all the information u might miss !!



  16. @dtjrealmc on October 19, 2024 at 9:06 pm

    Pee on it



  17. @shercotv6425 on October 19, 2024 at 9:06 pm

    Iβ€˜ve got chunks of leaves missing, no spores and I canβ€˜t detect any insects. New holes every day. Just sprayed some Neem oil on it and I hope it helps.



  18. @MrMCKlebeband on October 19, 2024 at 9:09 pm

    fungus gnats: BTI subspecies of BT, wrecks fungus gnats baaaadly, single use, 100% eradication… forget these options given here. i tried them all, neem oil works but never eradicated them 100%, this thing came in a blister of 10 tablets, i used 1 to eradicate them in my indoor garde nand another 6 for the rest of the houseplants + the 2x 1000L rainwater barrels outdoor. also wrecks mosquitos(larvae).



  19. @josephsmith688 on October 19, 2024 at 9:09 pm

    Leaves turning yellow from the bottom… can it occur when the plant starts flowering and i should use the flowering nutrients?



  20. @lostpony4885 on October 19, 2024 at 9:11 pm

    Super excellent guide thank you!



  21. @LennartVangenSinnerud-u8g on October 19, 2024 at 9:11 pm

  22. @jeromed2 on October 19, 2024 at 9:11 pm

  29. @Bigdirty3thirty on October 19, 2024 at 9:18 pm

  30. @stevemacdonald2303 on October 19, 2024 at 9:19 pm

    Peroxide will take of bud rot



  31. @wokenative on October 19, 2024 at 9:21 pm

    whaat was that thing that is deadly to the bugs bacterium what???



  32. @Micheal313 on October 19, 2024 at 9:22 pm

    I have 2 outdoor pb cookies.nboth were doing great but the larger one has gone from dark green to light and some yellow leaves throughout mid/lower section. The stems aren’t droopy but some of the leaves near pre buds are curling outside in and they feel dry and crisp. So iidk. I cleared out as much foliage from around the base as I could to allow for some more airflow around the base but I guess I’m just going to wait 3 days and see what happens.
    Also, it has been getting colder in upper Michigan. Im worried I got these in two late. They just now starting prebud



  33. @JCVetShoota on October 19, 2024 at 9:23 pm

    2nd from the left in thumbnail is what a lot of mine look like



  34. @andrewgreen2224 on October 19, 2024 at 9:25 pm

    Anyone know the problem with the 1st plant shown? 0:03 I have a leaf that looks just like that one, I thought it was just a mutation or something but seeing it here has me curious, and I don’t think he covered that exact issue. After 20 years of wanting to have my very own plants this is my first time ever growing, so im helicopter parenting the fuck outta these babies lol



  35. @Androbott on October 19, 2024 at 9:25 pm

    buena info muy ΓΊtil gracias



  36. @pintchigawza6496 on October 19, 2024 at 9:27 pm

    Hi bro do u have telegram or other canal to talk? I want send u some pictures of my plants sickness which I never find something matching to it.



  37. @filoofox9934 on October 19, 2024 at 9:29 pm

    I always thought the darker the leafs the better, cause more nitrogen and more chlorophyll so she gets more energy. Aslong as it dosnt cause a lockout i thought dark is best



  38. @nikolasmaes99 on October 19, 2024 at 9:29 pm

    Foxtales are actually quite awesome if ur a noob =)



  39. @Polones12 on October 19, 2024 at 9:30 pm

    Slow growth. Suddenly stopped growing. What’s the problem?



  40. @Cannacultivator on October 19, 2024 at 9:32 pm

    Your almost at 100k babyy



  41. @erroristic on October 19, 2024 at 9:33 pm

    Yuo may not know this but you just saved my plant! Thanks!



  42. @maddmavic on October 19, 2024 at 9:35 pm

    I got 25 plants. 2 are clones rest are seed they all doing great except one clone one of the biggest. I feed and do everything all the same. Its wilting and the lower leaves are yellow and dieing



  43. @Stewzzyy on October 19, 2024 at 9:36 pm

    great video, organized and to the point. Few tips id love to add would be
    – milk/h2o2 is ok for powdery mildew in a way, but unless u fix the reason why it came in the first place, it wont go away. Do not shake the leaves you remove, as the spores will go on other good leaves
    – botrytis or bud rot can be seen on the stems before the bud gets rotted out some times, it looks like a dry bark on the stem
    – use 100% coco coir indoors only and not outdoors. Drys too quick outside, but indoors its perfect
    – PH IS A MUST



  44. @jbingham4879 on October 19, 2024 at 9:38 pm

    What about β€œsawtoothing”



  45. @Nightowl_IT on October 19, 2024 at 9:39 pm

    There might be phages out there against common and uncommon hemp illnesses. There are for human illnesses.



  46. @marcelgowa on October 19, 2024 at 9:39 pm

    my friend, there are many many many how to grow videos but you are on of the few who really know what infos to tell and what not to.



  47. @Buns3n on October 19, 2024 at 9:40 pm

    what a great summary! thanks



  48. @NOT_SURE.. on October 19, 2024 at 9:41 pm

    why do roots rot when you give them too much water so soil become waterlogged , but they dont rot if they are hanging straight into water.



  49. @MrAzzazaa on October 19, 2024 at 9:43 pm

    Strange ! Guys can you help me please ? I just got one week my seeds popped up so you can imagine plants are very small ! And I got this problem I have only one pair of big leaves just starting a second and I see the edges of the leave are little bit curling up and maybe yellowing! Im not using yet nutrients and using coco perlite mix ! Anyone knows why this happen ?
