Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-12

[00:00:00]Cannabis stress techniques for frost tricom rich harvest. Sounds too good, Scotty. Sounds too good. Let's get into this. Dude grows is for educational and entertainment purposes only. All our content is legal and complies with YouTube community guidelines. So there >> So we leading with some we're just we're just pulling them in with the tricom rich harvest. Hey man, come on. There's definitely stress techniques that are meant Tricoms are a stress response.

[00:00:26]There are definitely stress stress techniques that uh improve the quality, man. ISR, S. Come on, let's let's get into it, dude.

[00:00:35]>> Oh, I love when people drop the abbreviations. What about VPD and PPFD, DLI? What do we got?

[00:00:44]>> Yes, they all mean something.

[00:00:48]We featured on this show one time um it was like I don't know if it was a joke but they said they put two plants it was like at a mall in like these growth chambers in one plant they told everybody to be nice to and give it compliments and then the other plant they told people to go over and install that one >> and it looked like it looked horrible.

[00:01:05]So I don't know if that's a stress technique in your growing [ __ ] to your plants.

[00:01:09]>> God was so mean man. There was remember that they were so mean. The only thing I'm meaner to is my chat bot now. When I'm yelling at chat, I know I gotta just calm down for a minute, man.

[00:01:21]>> Yeah. No, I've definitely heard you talking talking some shizz to chat there. Uh but before we hop into the grow talk, man. The DGC cup is coming up guys within we're at less than a month about that about a month from today. Uh June the first weekend in June. Biggest flower competition out there. We have reached our almost yes our 70 strains 70 entries. Everybody can judge. Go to dgcup.com to come on out. Look at how excited Scotty gets. Grandma is not playing that.

[00:01:51]>> That's great. We'll get a new one in 30 days.

[00:01:54]>> That's AI, right?

[00:01:55]>> No.

[00:01:58]>> We had a quick question here from Studio Grows show. It says, "I'm attending the DGC cup for the first time this year and I'm from Michigan. So, it's a big trip for me. I'm so excited, but I'm very curious about who the vendors are be. I can't figure out who the vendors are.

[00:02:12]It's right on gcup.com. I don't have all the vendors listed, man. But it is a huge growers market. There's all kinds of things going on. Let's just say you can expand your genetic library. Uh Canada's going to be there. Shout out AC Infinity. I'm going to have >> full setup from Canatrol for first place winner, Scotty, is getting a Canatrol in the flower cup so they can grow nice guy Kenny style. You know what I'm saying?

[00:02:36]They can get that. Uh, he was so stoked for that last harvest.

[00:02:39]>> Yeah, nice guy Kenny did it through and through though, man. From start to finish, man. We'll talk about Nice Guy Kenny ran so much light, so much PPFD in his grow. It got me to change my mind about DLI. All that you know about DI is wrong. Okay, you know who was right about it?

[00:02:59]>> Bugby. All right, Dr. Bugby was actually No, he was right about it, man. Cannabis can handle crazy amounts of lights.

[00:03:07]We'll get into it.

[00:03:09]>> Yeah. You want to hook it up, guys?

[00:03:10]Check them out. Can Charles/DudeGrows.

[00:03:12]You're going to get that premium cured flower. All right, let's do this grow talk, man. There we go. That's the one I got, baby. I got one up on you, Scotty.

[00:03:20]I got the C2. Love it.

[00:03:21]>> That is nice. Hey, can I say hello to Banner real quick? What is up, homeboy?

[00:03:26]Happy Saturday morning to you.

[00:03:27]>> Happy Saturday.

[00:03:28]>> Yeah, you look like you got the going fishing sign out, man.

[00:03:32]>> Almost. Granbo, how you living? You making the show getting fatter by the minute?

[00:03:38]>> How dare you, sir? How dare you? We're getting you the tapeworm, Granbo. Oh, I could go telling you. You get a good tapeworm, one pill, and you're done, >> bro. Give me that tape. Got the tapeworm. All right, let's do it, man.

[00:03:52]>> All right, let's get into three. Three.

[00:03:54]There's lots of them, but stress techniques that actually work in your grow. Yes. You're talking stress techniques for frostier tricom rich harvests, man.

[00:04:05]>> Yes. High wrote that. All right, man.

[00:04:08]You guys love it's like the words frosty, tricoms, flowers. It used to be back in the day like the keywords for all the YouTube videos were bigger buds, but that's fading, man. The bigger buds is fading. But let's talk grow, man.

[00:04:20]First one here >> I want to want to get into um is a dryback. dryback, which sounds kind of not fancy, but it's just like watering correctly, right?

[00:04:30]>> Yeah. You know what? No, watering correctly, I think, would mean Yeah. I guess you're It depends what it But it means just leaving a little bit of time between your watering. So, uh it's not always saturated. When the plant's saturated, it doesn't have to reach for water. uh when you uh let it dry out a little bit has to extend those root tips to looking a little corroes for water.

[00:04:55]>> Yeah. If you give it everything at once all the time, you're not going to expand that ryosphere root zone as much. It reminded me even when I would I've read studies we featured on the show that plants roots can hear. When they ran an underground water pipe in the root zone when first they did it that the roots would go for it which blows my mind.

[00:05:12]>> Um but I agree man. Try and go ahead. It just makes me wonder about hydro or not wonder but hydro you can grow a giant plant with a little 6x6 Hugo block root system but it's being bathed in water or nutrient solution you know whatever 12 15 times a day if you're doing that cyclical irrigation. The reason it is being bathed like that is so it does give a little bit of dry back a little bit of dry back but still hydro you don't need it so you don't need a giant root system so much because it's getting everything it needs. I mean, beyond expanding your root zone, it'll it'll definitely also help with, you know, maybe if you have fungus nats, it'll help keep them at bay. If you keep a wet root zone all the time, you might have more pathogens that can come along. So, the dryback is also a little bit of insurance. Now, in flower, it's a little different, right? We're trying to achieve not expanding the root zone, but getting the flowers frostier. No.

[00:06:02]>> Yeah, there is a stress response. What is it called? Absic acid or something like that. But yeah, but that is um supposedly if you give it, you know, it's a a stress response to the plant drying back, don't forget in flowering uh the plant is it knows it's going to die. So it's stressed out. So as it uh you know and and the response is to make stinkier trices hopefully to attack some kind of pollinator. So once it starts un you know stressing out it sends a response up to uh make more secondary metabolites more tarpen more tricoms more canabonoids at least that's the theory I am drying back all the time in my grow system to the point where I need to get you know an irrigation set set up most if you're a straight cocoa grower or cocoa perlite high performance media you're going to definitely be dealing with drying back quicker and it's a great media for it because it's very forgiving giving with the moisture content in the media in the root zone.

[00:07:04]So if you're going to really try to push dry backs or multiple dryback, I really like poco for it where if you're in a living organic soil, they don't like doing full drybacks as much, you know, can damage the ryosphere, some other living organisms. It's not much of a as a much of a practice.

[00:07:19]>> Yeah. And just be careful with this one, man. if this, you know, all these stress techniques we're going to talk about, they work great by themselves if you're careful and monitor it. Too much stress, man. And then multiple stressors, uh, that can be a big time that that's a big time no. Hey, one thing with these stressors, whether it's any of these, timing really does matter and intensity matters. And you don't want to do these, you know, dry back. You don't want to dry back to the point of wilt because that's going to cause damage. You want to dry back right to where the plants look thirsty. You know, the soil is very light. And then you want to >> Yeah. container weight. Easy way to go.

[00:08:02]>> And then don't stack these. We're going to show you another couple or talk about another couple stressors. When you start stacking stressors, it reminds me of like going for a long jog. Today's my long run day. I'm going for eight miles and I'm also fasting now, you know? I mean, and I'm going wear 30 wear 30 lb uh weight on my back in the back. Yeah, I got you.

[00:08:23]>> And it's 100° out. You know what I mean?

[00:08:25]Just just understand these stressors are better when you when you use them individually. Don't stack them.

[00:08:32]>> I got a comment from executive DDC producer Bang Dog. Guys, take them out of our real DC says his technique is I dry back with up potting during vegetative growth. The target is increased root mass. I'll dry the root ball until I can lift the plant from the pot easily. If roots cover the surface of the root ball, it's time to transplant to a slightly larger pot.

[00:08:54]Just for you, Scotty, be sure to sprinkle recharge on the root ball.

[00:08:57]Fertilize with your favorite source of MPK and repeat. We'll say you water on the recharge, but yeah, this sounds like a decent technique. This is a great technique. You know, I have the nursery in Florida. I'm a member of the Florida Nursery Growers and Landscape Association, dude. And there's a reason why they make they call them 6in pots.

[00:09:16]They used to be 1 in or one gallons but 6 in 10 in I think it's 14in after that you know ones threes fives sevens and nursery nursery men and women will step them up and they do that cuz they get a super intense root system a super compact root system and then it just has to grow out. It grows out a little bit more a little bit more and that's how you get dense roots man. Bang dog knows what he's doing. All right.

[00:09:44]>> Nursery people, Scott. It's nursery people.

[00:09:47]>> All right.

[00:09:48]>> Yeah. Yeah, they are actually. All right. I had one of the DGC bust my chops. She like she's like, you know, some women grow too, boys. And uh yes, 100% correct. And shout out to Sunny at Pectopia who is uh I just saw her greenhouse man. Loaded.

[00:10:05]Let's go take it to point two here.

[00:10:07]Another stress technique that was brought up by a couple DDC producers is, am I saying this right? Schwazen.

[00:10:13]Schwezen. You said, uh, >> Chad Westport has it different.

[00:10:17]>> I hung out with Chad Westport. I was on a show last week. We were just BSing and he called it schwazing, you know, definitively, confidently. Schwazing.

[00:10:28]>> All right. Schwazing.

[00:10:29]>> All right. So, I'll copy Chad.

[00:10:32]>> You just have done this the most aggressively. You've probably done it.

[00:10:34]Nice guy. Kenny's Garden. Break it down.

[00:10:36]When do we do it?

[00:10:37]>> Uh, yeah, this is one of those things where it's super counterintuitive. We always think of the leaves as solar panels. We think at flowering time that we're, you know, we're not going to be veging and making a ton of foliage anymore. Uh, so you'd want the leaves.

[00:10:52]This is a technique where on day one of flower, the day you flip, you remove all your leaves and then you wait 3 weeks until it refoliates. Uh, and you'd be surprised how fast it'll refoliate. 10 14 days later, you're done. And then uh uh 3 weeks after that, you know what, day 21, you uh re defoliate again and you end up with just these giant buds.

[00:11:17]The idea is all that energy on day one of flower, all that energy gets refocused now to the buds. And then you do it again and it just sends these signals down to the plant. It's a stress technique. You better make some more buds. And think about it. The leaves are uh going away. A lot of times a plant thinks it's, you know, an animal eating them. So, it's got to refill.

[00:11:40]>> And this is to stay alive.

[00:11:42]>> This is spelled S C H W A Z I N G. If you can find some pictures online of different variations of people doing this, which I and if you're a newer grower, you should even experienced grower. I get fearful of taking this many leaves off. Uh pro tip, never do this to a stress plant, a sick plant.

[00:11:58]Everything should be running really good for your plant's recovery if you're going to be doing this type of swazing swazing technique.

[00:12:05]>> What we just talked about, don't stack stressors. If your plant's looking sick, you know what I mean? If you just had root issues, if you just had a nutrient deficiency and you got, you know, a magnesium deficiency, you just got it back to looking decent. Yeah. Don't stress this thing out. Yeah. Don't don't st don't stack stressors, man.

[00:12:26]>> Yes. I got a comment here. Actually, producer Red Weasel does prefer this method and he does it two weeks after the second topping. Aishwaz heavily taking all the fans not directly attached to the bud sights. So, he's leaving some if you're on a bud site. Is that your technique as well?

[00:12:42]>> I've been taking everything off and this one was I've done it like five or six times. Kenny just did it with no CO2 and a stock AC infinity tent and they're just spectacular. The results are spectacular. And by the way, man, I I got caught at caught with this. Uh, man, there are no absolutes with cannabis.

[00:13:03]All right. There's We're still learning about stuff, man. No, you have to do it exactly at day 21 because the internet says so.

[00:13:12]>> No.

[00:13:14]Yes. It's strain dependent.

[00:13:16]>> You only become absolutes if you've grown the same strain at a multitude of times and you know exactly what's going to happen clone to clone. Red weasel.

[00:13:23]Red weasel also is taking any stem that's not going to reach canopy off. I like that. I repeat this process at day 21. And this leaves me with little to zero lar just big old tops. And that's nice for trimming.

[00:13:36]>> Yes, I agree, man. Follow the weasel.

[00:13:42]>> Next point.

[00:13:42]>> Oh, I'm sorry. Did we even show that?

[00:13:44]This was a post that we made on real dgc.com. We have been doing that lately.

[00:13:49]This is three stress to every unreal >> unrealc.com anybody uh all the members you can help build out these shows. We love the grow talk. You just click on the top banner that's there every week and all the grow questions are there for the next week's show and that's where we're getting a lot of this content from. So thank you DGC.

[00:14:08]>> Yeah. This is a members only. Anyone on real dgc.com can participate.

[00:14:12]>> Yeah. I'm saying anybody anybody that is a member for you are over there.

[00:14:16]>> Yes.

[00:14:16]>> Yes.

[00:14:16]>> You're all part of the community. All right. quick. I'm so sorry to say, but it's pretty cool. The new schedule, man.

[00:14:22]Doing the uh uh the Wednesday lives.

[00:14:26]They have been fun, man. So, thanks everybody for rolling with it.

[00:14:30]>> Heck yeah. Wednesday live, real ddc.com.

[00:14:33]Uh point.

[00:14:35]>> Yes, sir.

[00:14:35]>> Lighting. I kind of disagreed with Scotty on this one. Like I'm like, is lighting really a technique for like a stressor to give, you know, just turn your light up? It sounds too simple.

[00:14:44]Like, break it down a little. I mean light is don't we talk about tricoms being a stress uh stress response that there's sunscreen for the plant the plant's making all this light and that light uh can be damaging to the leaf so that the plant is making these tricoms >> yeah if there's too much light get in there right >> I haven't seen in a long time where actually your leaves get light damage like bleaching um I've seen buds that get too close to light for sure they can turn white and bleach leech out. That's because they're getting way too much light. Leaf tacoing can be another sign.

[00:15:20]But how can we use it? Benefits.

[00:15:21]>> Grandma, Grandma, hold the phone, man.

[00:15:23]Hold the phone. I just burnt my plants, man. Two days ago, 3 days ago, I brought them in from Solo Cups. They were in solo cups getting maybe 3 400 350 PPFD in my clone, you know, clone area. I brought them into the grow. They look so good. Giant 15-in solo cups. And I put them in, dialed the lights up to I think it was 650 ppfd. That don't sound that bad.

[00:15:49]>> No. And h half of them are. And it is strain dependent. The guavagers love it.

[00:15:54]The emergency they hurting a little bit, you know.

[00:15:58]>> I mean 650 ppfd isn't that bad, but it depends also on any PPFD number. How close your canopy is to the actual diodes. Like is it 12 in? Is it 18 in?

[00:16:07]Is it 16?

[00:16:08]>> That would determine your PPFD.

[00:16:11]It's the distance. Yes.

[00:16:13]>> Yes. Make sure you get the problem. I agree.

[00:16:15]>> The problem is how much you crank it up.

[00:16:17]How fast. If you bring them from 300 ppfd to 650 ppfd in 4 minutes, you know what I mean? They will shock. You got to slowly turn that stuff up, man.

[00:16:31]>> Uh, I'll give one more tip here. This is kind of like a bonus tip on lighting that I like. This is from Rezel as well.

[00:16:36]What's up? Says, "My light schedule is another stress. I start running UVA.

[00:16:41]Now, we talk about UVB a lot on the show, but let's hear from the grower. I start running UVA pulses during the second week of flower at one minute per hour during the middle eight hours of the photo period. Follow me. Says, I increase pulses by 1 minute per week, maxing at 7 minutes per hour. So, he's running that UVA 7 minutes per hour. He gradually is increasing it, which is a good idea even with UVB as well. The gradual increase in pulse timing allows the plants to adapt to the harsh wavelength instead of blasting them right out of the gate, reducing burn risk while still contributing to tricom response. So UVA and UVB is the one that I have encouraged people to mess with if they're running the same strain and they can see results off of the plant when they know what it's going to do. I'm a fan. There's been plenty of growers I've given it thumbs up. I bumped my head on the UVB lights a couple days ago. I have them actually mounted to one of my lights cuz I was going to do the experiments. But man, it is so hard.

[00:17:31]That's what I'm saying. I'm learning that there was so little real research done on these plants, you know, that if I want to know if UVA or UVB works, man, I am not finding. And then by the way, does it work on my strains? Does it work on hemp? You know, so different, man. So yeah, I think for for now we just have to talk to growers and hopefully Red Weasel is running half his room with UVA and half his room without or has run that strain a bunch without UV and now I was going to see if there's any difference. But man, it is tough when everything's just anecdotal.

[00:18:07]>> Totally agree. I mean, I've read two studies, Scott. I've looked at two white papers and it was basically the conclusion was just that it is strain dependent. Um, the cool thing with UVB and UVA, they're low wattage. They're pretty affordable to implement into your grow and do your own experiments with without feeling like you wasted a bunch of money. So, >> can I ask you a question?

[00:18:26]>> Where what were those white papers? Who published them and then how were they done? We have no idea. You know what I mean? I just like, oh, DLI is this much.

[00:18:35]>> We have no idea. I can find zero credible studies of why DLI is 50 without CO2 and 65 with.

[00:18:42]>> All right, we're going to come make my own dude papers coming at you. I think we guys, as we said, don't stack stressors. Don't stress sick plants.

[00:18:50]Don't stress plants in an environment that's not great. Make sure everything's running real good. You have very happy, healthy plants if you're doing any type of stressors to get positive response.

[00:18:58]Agreed. Agreed, sir.

[00:19:02]Let us know in the comments what you dig on. Some of the producers also were mentioning that they dug on uh insect frustr as well. I want to hear some more. I want to hear some comments from what you're using for positive stress technique. Why is ISR induced systemic resistance and what is S? Systemic acquired response.

[00:19:22]>> Acquired response.

[00:19:23]>> Why is so similar? Can't we just merge them two? One is by insects actually attacking and the other is bacteria and fungi pathogens attacking it. But it's all it's both these stress techniques and they will increase your end quality if you can do them right. You freak the plant out.

[00:19:42]>> Yes. Don't freak the plant out. And no, please. Lastly, does anybody talk [ __ ] to their plants and get any positive stress response in the garden? Like that boy ain't good enough. Come on. Give me the comments below.

[00:19:54]>> All right. Before we move on, let's take it. Growers, listen up. I want you to save money in your growing muds. DGC vetted gear from our community. Real DGC stuff Scotty uses, I uses, Granbo uses, and they're all at realdc.com/dealss.

[00:20:09]All the coupon codes are listed over here. Shop for your grow. And today I want to feature AC Infinity. Man, they're complete kits are a no-brainer.

[00:20:18]Whether you have a new I just had somebody buy two for one of their friends that were getting into grow and they're all going to network on Sharon Genetics. One's going to do veg, but these kits have everything you need to grow. Only thing else you need is to put some media in there. And we're not talking about like back in the day when the kits were crap and they charge you thousands of dollars. This is top-notch gear, high quality LEDs, fans, trellis, containers, everything you need. What's up, Scotty?

[00:20:40]>> Rambo, what's the 4x8 cost, man? This is exactly AC Infinity sent us a 4x8. Uh, and that's what nice guy Kenny grew in.

[00:20:48]And dude, stock lights, everything was was, you know, whatever it comes with.

[00:20:53]And just pounds and pounds out of it, man. I mean, out of a 4x8, no CO2, no gimmicks, additional bottles, recharge grow dots, real buckets, and blammo, baby. It's all good. But, uh, yeah, it's not that expensive, man.

[00:21:10]>> Yeah. Code dude grows over there at acfinity.com. I'll save you on their entire catalog. And Scotty, just to clarify, when Scotty says no CO2, he's using ambient CO2. I believe Nice Guy Cany grows in a basement and that's where the furnace is as well. So, he might be benefiting from some ambient CO2 from the furnace running. Um, and he's definitely doing air exchange. So, just don't want to see no CO2. Scared to.

[00:21:32]>> Yeah. Yeah. That's That's O2, by the way. That's carbon monoxide, which good for your plants, not so good for No, I'm just kidding, man. Really? Yeah. CO2 from the hot water heater and stuff.

[00:21:44]Yeah, >> it depends. I mean, my hot water heater I ran in one basement grow had a pilot light that would always be running. It stayed like 7 700 down there. Um, you know, CO2 is heavier than there. It's not going to go upstairs. So, typically maybe you have some falling from the upstairs if you have a very active family. I'm not positive. But basements tend to to have a little bit more, especially if there's utility rooms.

[00:22:04]>> Heavier than air. You got it, man. You got it. What's going on YouTube, Grammarbo? What you been up to?

[00:22:09]>> Everything.

[00:22:10]>> So much tire dodge those YouTube police, you know, but uh I was burned out after 420. So this week I wanted to sit down and just have a nice relaxing conversation with a bro and uh it don't get more broy than Jr. Token.

[00:22:25]>> Nope. I was hanging out talking to him as well, man.

[00:22:28]>> Uh dude, you know what I called him? I asked him if he had any more of that stuff. Cherry Gelato.

[00:22:33]>> Yes, >> dude. He hooked a brother up and oh my god, just the dankkest dankst. I got to watch my words. But I think he's got a pry. He's pry a project zpie. He's loving this Zpie. And him and >> we're all loving it. Yeah. It's from Brad over at Raw. Is it at RAW?

[00:22:55]>> Dude, he told me because I'm talking to J.R. me, J.R. Brad, we're all friendly.

[00:23:00]And uh he goes, "No, Brad is now Zakiki Gardens." And I go, "What' you say?"

[00:23:08]>> How do you say it? Anybody? I'm not sure. Zakagi.

[00:23:12]Zakagi.

[00:23:13]>> You know from the Wishi. We all know he's very into Japanese cult.

[00:23:16]>> Yes, I know.

[00:23:17]>> So, uh, Raw. Do you know how good of a name RAW is? I can spell it. I can spell it backwards. You know what I mean?

[00:23:23]Yeah. I believe it means follow the path.

[00:23:26]>> Follow the path. Anyway, shout out to you, brother. He knows what he's doing.

[00:23:30]LA is very trendy. He gets it. But shout out to you, Brett.

[00:23:35]>> I guess it dates me when I hear the word raw. I think of Eddie Murphy. The states me I suppose.

[00:23:42]Yes, sir.

[00:23:42]>> About the rolling papers guy, man.

[00:23:45]>> Love it. Love them.

[00:23:46]>> Not as much.

[00:23:47]>> I mean, we love all things raw.

[00:23:49]Dctomies, you know, we we love it >> sushi. Take it.

[00:23:54]>> What do you got, Scotty? Scotty real 420. What's up?

[00:23:57]>> Uh, you know what I did? Uh, what did I do one on, man? Hang on. Oh, believe stop believing these growth. These three growth if you want better buds. Yes.

[00:24:08]>> And man, one of them was more plants does not equal more yield. And dude, I remember thinking, how many plants can I shove in, you know, a 4x4 or whatever?

[00:24:20]All the leaves are laying on each other.

[00:24:22]They're just growing big, tall, skinny plants. Look at that guy, MAN.

[00:24:27]>> SO, YOU SAID, WAIT, you said more plants doesn't equal more yield. I mean, I'll give you an equation. So, let's say I have a 4x4 and I'm going to grow one 30gallon plant. I'm gonna trellis it wall to- wall. It's gonna take me quite a long veg. Or in that 4x4, I'm gonna grow, I don't know, off the top of my head, 23 two gallons. You know what I'm saying? Same like volume. Um, but a bunch of smaller. I'm going to get, I believe, more yield off of my style.

[00:24:54]How do your big one? It depend. That's what I'm saying, man. It It really depends. There's a sweet spot to it for a 4x4. If you're going to put three or four plants in there, that's good. They might not look big when you bring them put them in the solo cups, you know, and they're this big, but they're going to fill up and they're going to start growing into each other, which is okay.

[00:25:14]If you've got three or four plants that you're hanging out and uh uh and training, that's okay. If you have 12 plants, that's why I had to ask J.R. for the Zpie and uh uh stuffed cherry gelato. I had 10 strains in a tiny little What is my veg? Two foot by six foot. Could you know what I mean? I could jam them in there, but it was going to start causing problems. When leaves are laying on each other, that's when you get microclimates. That's when you get powdery mildew. The plants can sense, if they can hear water, they can feel when another leaf is bumping up against them, right?

[00:25:50]>> It's a huge uh mistake for beginner growers. You get eager and you forget how big these plants can get, especially if you're not good at training, topping, tying down, all that jazz. So, >> um >> you don't want to log jam them in.

[00:26:02]>> You can't have that. saying >> once they see in Kansas, they don't go back.

[00:26:06]>> Dude, I get to see what's on Grand Rambo's screen, which means I kind of get to see what's in his >> I hate I try to hide it from Scott to not ruin the punch line.

[00:26:16]>> Damn, man. Come on. What's the punch line?

[00:26:19]>> That is why they called me. I'm an expert.

[00:26:21]>> Yes, >> I'm an expert in mining cable.

[00:26:24]>> I am an expert.

[00:26:26]>> I will say before we get to DVD Grow Talk, if anybody's curious, I' i've been without internet for almost two days now. So, I'm telephone service.

[00:26:34]>> We really should have addressed why dude is the middle of the woods. Look great.

[00:26:40]I mean, he's on his phone and it looks as good as >> as these cameras >> because we blinded him with light, you know, the light on.

[00:26:47]>> Oh, >> yes. If you see my eyes looking around, this is why. But I like being outside.

[00:26:51]We were hoping that we get some bear action or something. That would be so dope. Could make like a viral video or something. But let's take it back to what's going on >> on DGC Grow Talk. We were talking about nutrient deficiencies. Scotty, nutrient deficiencies and shade tree prospector.

[00:27:09]Shade tree prospector had a good point here, man. Says, "The worst nutrient deficiency I've had was when I experienced an unccalibrated pH meter.

[00:27:18]And for not all growers are using pH meters, but man, if you are," and this is talks about pH as well. PH be a hu huge reason you're hitting deficiencies.

[00:27:26]I've been there when I relied on pH meters and hydroponic style growing and it wasn't calibrating right and then it it doesn't take long to f up your especially in hydro when your pH is off.

[00:27:36]>> Yeah, hydro you got no buffer.

[00:27:38]Absolutely not. That pH better be perfect if you're going to get that uh that nutrient absorbed and man pH pens were a pain. remember you had to leave them and like uh you had to leave them in like neutral uh you know whatever neutral pH fluid >> and then you had that you had to dial in you had to make it four pH and make sure that it read four and then what was it seven or something like that >> was three but usually we'd all use seven >> pain in the butt man like I'm so And by the way measuring pH from runoff or what's going on in your soil and that is not indicative of what is going on where the roots are meeting the soil and meeting the nutrients. Um, that is the ryosphere and it's got the hopefully you've got your uh back I'm sorry your roots covered in bacteria. Those are the facilitators. They can make their own pH. So, I worry about my pH in the ryosphere.

[00:28:34]>> Hey, Ray J. Ray J says, "I suck at diagnosing nutrient deficiencies. So, I don't so I don't have any." Yeah. All right, Patty. All right. Just don't overthink it, man. These plants aren't difficult, you know. Just don't overthink it. Don't overwater. Consider your environment. If you don't have a good environment, that plant can't suck up those nutrients and use them. So, yeah, there's a there's a lot more to it, dude. Yeah, guys, check out that is on our DGC grow talk channel. We also are releasing, if you don't have time to watch these whole episodes, we have some cuts, some bite-size, good grow talk over there, some information, some actually episodes you probably haven't seen that we're doing from our show that we do every Wednesday now on Real DGC, the show where we can do whatever we want every Wednesday at 4:20 Mountain time.

[00:29:21]>> We're taking some from that and putting them over on YouTube. So, come join us on Real D. It's free. If you catch a live show, it's free. Producers, you get all the replays. Just go click on the producer tab at the top of the site.

[00:29:33]You'll see everything you guys get.

[00:29:35]>> Hell yeah. Hey man, I was on Chad Westport's show. Shout out to Chad Westport.

[00:29:39]>> Sweet.

[00:29:40]>> Oh, what a cool guy, man. We just supposed to talk about the DGC cup, which we did, but we ended up just hanging out and BSing for a little bit.

[00:29:48]>> Well, I'm sure Chad Westport would say that the DGC cup is no joke.

[00:29:53]>> If you want to smoke, >> man, you know what? I was killing it right now. Shout out to you, Chad.

[00:29:58]>> This was Saturday, okay? And Saturday morning, I wake up and I say to my wife, you know, she we're getting dressed and ready to go out and she's ready to go do her thing. And I go, man, you know what's weird about waking up is every morning, safe Sunday, I wake up and I got to see if I was wrong about something.

[00:30:16]I wake up and I go, "Shit, was I?" And dude, sure enough, it doesn't happen a ton, but it definitely happens. Sure enough, I open the the Saturday morning show, read the comments, and Scotty was wrong, and multiple people were glad to tell me, and uh here you go. It says, "Uh, y'all are wrong. First off, not all strains need a minimum of 12 hours of darkness to flower. I take my light time down 30 minutes every 2 to 3 days, and plants start flowering at different times. I usually have six plants of all different strains. Some start around 15, some start around 14, 13, 12. Uh, and but I don't know. The science behind what I read is this is normal for people growing so long. I can't believe you don't know that. Shame. I mean, I only grow eight. Yes, sorry. The plants recognizing the reduction in light cycle 30 minutes every 2 to 3 days. I've thought about doing this as a grow technique on the indoor grow. That's what nature does. Nature surely doesn't just go from 18 to 1212. But us as indoor growers, we're going to get I think we're going to achieve flat rate a lot quicker just by that drastic hit instead of 30 minutes every 2 to 3 days >> done. Chrome 420.

[00:31:30]>> Hey. Okay. So, I was wrong definitely.

[00:31:33]Uh the the the Ken the Ken Hodge show.

[00:31:36]Once a plant starts getting less than 15 hours of light, it will start to flower.

[00:31:40]Thank you. Uh three bad Bostons. Scotty, you're wrong about the 12 hours of darkness. You take a plant that would grow in 186, put it in the sun sunlight on June 22nd, you'd have about 14 hours of sunlight and it'll flower immediately by August 22nd. Puppy grows. I've been growing my own for about 10 years and still learning with each harvest.

[00:32:03]Anytime you think you know it all is when you learn something new. Remember, there's a hundred different ways to screw up and you will always learn some of them. Thank you, puppy grows. That is, remember we used to say learning in public, >> man. I uh do my best to try to learn before I show up for this show. And man, it just this really did set me like in a thought, you know, I just sat there and thought for a while. I'm like, what am I doing giving absolutes for stuff 1212?

[00:32:33]Because cannabis is a plant and it's cannabis sativa and it's there's all these plants from all these different parts of the world and they've been hybridized so much and how and I only grow indoors. So how the hell am I qualified to tell people exactly when it flowers?

[00:32:49]>> Are you pro, dude?

[00:32:51]>> Am I pro? Are you professional?

[00:32:53]>> Yes.

[00:32:54]>> Where's Who's that >> Christian for you?

[00:32:59]>> Are you professional? Oh, dude. So, I don't mind being wrong.

[00:33:04]>> Grandbo's a comedian, but I was out the other day at the lake and somebody paddled by under an inflatable shitty kayak and it said pro whatever brand like and then you'll see on cars. I got the pro edition like they use the word pro to market so hard like I get it. I guess it makes it feel good when you when you got the pro edition like you're qualified.

[00:33:22]>> Granbo, were you too young? I back in the day I got Pro Kids and they came like you got a catalog from school. They were like eight bucks. Maybe the good ones were 11 bucks.

[00:33:32]>> Pro kids.

[00:33:33]>> Pro kids. Yeah.

[00:33:35]>> Yeah. I just wanted Nikes. I just wanted something from the mall. Granos.

[00:33:39]Something from the mall. But also to cover your guys butt, you know, you mentioned how you used to always talk a lot about uh uh just learning in public.

[00:33:45]Another thing you guys used to always say is strain dependent. The idea that in this breeding zoo that we've created of cannabis, other than orchids, potentially one of the most >> audacious breeding projects in human history, strain dependent, cultivar dependent is uh Yeah, you can't account some things. I bet you 12 is the absolute for that.

[00:34:07]>> Yes. Really? You're telling me one from the Kush Mountains isn't the same as one from the island of Maui?

[00:34:12]>> Yeah, man.

[00:34:14]>> Is that's Maui? Oh, this has been the DGC cup 2026 is now the pro edition. By the way, you missed this one. Like it's you're not you're not pro. It's okay to be wrong, everybody. Uh Puppy Gross, thank you so much. You're 100% right.

[00:34:30]Keep learning. Keep breaking stuff.

[00:34:34]Yeah.

[00:34:36]Yeah.

[00:34:39]Good stuff. I love And will be out there taking care of beards out there. So, come hang out. busy. It's in a month, you guys. Oh my god, I'm freaking out.

[00:34:47]>> Stop it. I got to go. I got [ __ ] to do.

[00:34:49]>> I'm freaking out.

[00:34:50]>> Um, all right. Let's Nice. Yes, we got part. All right, this was on the real DDC post. We got some GDC helping about if it's not THC percentage, what actually makes good weed, man. And there is a lot more to it. Scotty, you did a little deep dive on this one. I mean, we all know about the entourage effect, right? THC is a canabonoid, right? THC delta 9 THC. What do they got? Delta 8, delta 10, THCO, THCV. Come on, Grandmo.

[00:35:23]You got one.

[00:35:24]>> I mean, it all starts CG CBGA and then it diverts from there to everything.

[00:35:29]>> So, all these are canabonoids. They all have slightly different uh effects. And then there's tarpen too. The combination of all the canabonoids blended together and all the tarpin turppins blended together uh give you your you know your high.

[00:35:48]>> Did you not say CBD Scotty? I don't think any I'm the only one that brings CBD into the conversation.

[00:35:52]>> CBD CBN CBG. One of the things I would always bring up when I was a butt dender back in the day, people would come in, they'd say, "Well, I only smoke sativas." And I'd say, "Well, you know, there's no such thing as a sativa molecule. What you're actually experiencing is a complex blend of tpines, cannabonoids, THC. You know what? I find like sativa dominance more like lemonine. You know what I mean?

[00:36:12]Because No, seriously. Here's I I was looked I did a deep d on tarpen.

[00:36:16]Lemonine, which is lemony. That's your citrus. Correct.

[00:36:21]>> Yes.

[00:36:21]>> Uh interacts with serotonin receptors, the same system targeted by anti-depressants. That's maybe why citrusy strains feel uplifting and mood elevating. Granted, might be an oversimplification. How about mercine?

[00:36:36]That's that musty kind of smell, right?

[00:36:38]Increases cell membrane permeability, enhancing canabonoid uptake. That couch lock feeling people attribute to indica is almost certainly mercen expression, not genetics.

[00:36:51]>> It's true. THC is THC, man. Right.

[00:36:55]>> I didn't know here from your notes that tarpen aren't just creating aroma.

[00:36:58]They're pharmacologically pharmacologically. Did I nail that?

[00:37:02]Pharmacologically active. Dear God.

[00:37:05]>> Yeah. Meaning that they >> Yes, sir.

[00:37:08]>> They Yeah. They cross into your bloodstream, which is new to me. The blood cross the bloodb brain barrier and interact with your body systems in ways that directly modify the cannabis experience. Now, I agree with this in the sense turppins, don't forget, it's not just weed. Um like my mother used to use essential oils for dizzy spell. And there's all types of essential oil therapy and that's a tarpine experience that's that's helping you out. So this is just as important you say or more important than THC percentage. Yeah. I mean put it this way. We've all uh you know smoked something that was 100% THC distillate, right? We've all smoked distillate with fake tarpen or whatever the heck they put in the you know cheap vape carts. It'll work.

[00:37:49]>> So that's a pet for me. Yeah. Exactly. When I went to Tennessee Prohibition Land, I had a THC pen, only THC in there. It was strong percentage, 50% plus. It made me feel like racy for a minute. Kind of like not like token a bowl. It definitely didn't. It's missing out.

[00:38:04]That that whole entourage effect, >> dude. Our friend uh we have a friend, her name is Tara, and she was down in Florida and she gave me an angry phone call. The weed down here is horrible.

[00:38:18]And she is not a heavy consumer. One of my wife's friends, she just a very uh casual smoker, but she was down in Florida wanted to get some weed. Went to a dispensary, which I don't think it was real weed. I think it was like Delta 8 or TCO.

[00:38:35]>> And then she did, this girl knows better, too. And she was like, "Yeah, I even bought the stuff that said it was sprayed with something extra on there."

[00:38:43]>> And she's like, "It barely gives you like an eye, man."

[00:38:47]>> Yeah.

[00:38:49]>> No spray turbs. She paid extra.

[00:38:52]>> Hey, you were just talking about like you know how people use lavender.

[00:38:56]>> Well, what is lavender? It's it's linolu, right? And lol is tarpin that is in uh some strains. So, there are strains that have a calming effect on you, right? Could be the linolu sir.

[00:39:11]>> Yes.

[00:39:12]>> Digging a little deeper here. I see that the that this aroma is coming from which I haven't heard this term. Or is it thiles?

[00:39:19]>> The man. Yeah.

[00:39:20]>> Esters, thols, and tarpen actually are what combine. Flavonoids have nothing to do with flavor. It's a weird naming convention over there.

[00:39:28]>> Yeah. Thiles are some shout out to Rob Cannabis Lifestyle TV. I caught one of his videos on thols and it was really interesting. They're these sulfur compounds that are, you know, literally in the parts per billion, but they stink, man. And they give some they give cannabis pungent odor, right?

[00:39:48]>> Funk and skunk is where it comes from is the thols.

[00:39:50]>> Yes. And Granbo, shout out to you, man.

[00:39:52]You really have become a very uh educated, smart cannabis guy, man. All right.

[00:39:58]>> It's so fun. I don't have to tell you.

[00:40:00]You're equally geeky as me. It's just when there's a why, you go, why? Why does that happen? And next thing you know, you're in quantum mechanics.

[00:40:09]>> I do like chat because I can go, hey, why is Mercine, you know, whatever. And then they'll tell me some scientific answer and I go, "Hey, sorry. I wasn't listening. Can you say it again?" And then I go, "Hey, I don't get it. Can you say it like a fifth grader?"

[00:40:23]>> You're right. You don't get it. Let's explain to you.

[00:40:26]>> Oh, man. But that entourage effect is, you know, I got proof for you that it's real. Is think about remember all the medicines that they used to come out with. What was the one? Uh, Marinol was the pill back in the day.

[00:40:40]>> Didn't do [ __ ] They still try to They still still try to prescribe that. They try to prescribe it to my mom.

[00:40:45]>> Yeah. Really >> crazy.

[00:40:47]>> Yeah. And it just doesn't work. Oh my god. My hank hung out with my mother-in-law yesterday and uh shout out to Jeff chef. He uh magically we get these cookies and she just loves them.

[00:40:59]And now I show up places and she's ripped, man. Ripped. She'll be the first one that's like, "YO, GO OUTSIDE. You got that." But anyway, she had a lung infection. a couple months ago. So, she can't smoke. Thank you, Jeff, for those cookies. And she's like, I really miss the smoking part, though. That buzz.

[00:41:19]There is a different buzz. And that is your liver processes the uh the canabonoids. It just processes the THC and doesn't process all those uh turppines. So, you don't get the entourage effect.

[00:41:35]>> Grandpa, are you wrong on that? Man, >> I I don't know. I think there's there's weird science going on in the liver. Uh uh Dr. um Oh, god damn it. I can't believe I'm Riley Kirk.

[00:41:46]>> Dr. Riley Kirk is a great resource. See >> us cannabis.

[00:41:50]>> Are you sure? She seems like a Joe Rogan person.

[00:41:53]>> Oh, maybe I just have eyes.

[00:41:57]>> Congratulation on your marriage.

[00:41:59]>> Uh anyway, man, I I thought it was uh interesting. There are some good comments. This came from a post over on Real. Well, I like your other two on here. Quickly, you may >> you had epidalects and sativx and those are also two funny names from pharma.

[00:42:13]They're trying to isolate things and they're not getting the same results as just again this proves why the entourage effect works. So, >> agreed. Agreed.

[00:42:23]>> Comments. Yeah, man. We had a comment.

[00:42:25]Associate producer Angus 420. What's up?

[00:42:27]Because I remember >> Rambo. Come on.

[00:42:31]>> Me and Kyle are trying to start a show.

[00:42:33]>> You wanted to be the guy from Entourage.

[00:42:35]Me and Kyle are starting a show called The Entourage Effect.

[00:42:39]>> Which one do you want to be, Grandbo?

[00:42:40]>> I want to be uh Well, I guess I'm drama.

[00:42:48]>> Cuz Kyle is for sure. He's the main star.

[00:42:51]>> Yeah, I I missed it, man. I have to go watch it. Right after Breaking Bad, I'm going to watch Entourage. Okay, >> you're Ari. Just so you know, >> I already >> All right. Associate producer Angus 420 says, "I remember when the dispensaries first opened around here, and that was when I learned about the percentage. I chased the hype, but was never happy. I wasn't It wasn't until I had some of the plants I grew tested, I realized that numbers didn't matter. I had five buds off the same plant tested and got five different results within 4% of each other, but none of them were over 20%."

[00:43:25]At that moment, I realized the number didn't matter. I could probably test every butt off that plant and get different results. I started chasing turpps and flavor and haven't looked back since. I have no clue what percentage of my buds are tested now, but I do know they smell and taste good and they get me high as >> spoken like a real goddamn grower, baby.

[00:43:46]>> Man, that's the thing is you can't trust these THC tests. First off, the laboratories want to give you a high number. So, if you find an honest lab, you're going to be bummed out if you find a lab that plays the game. And then don't you're going to be loving it and using them.

[00:44:03]And then it's by dry weight. So, think about it. If you take the little tiniest tip off the bud and then dry it incredibly dry and then give it to them.

[00:44:14]Yeah. There's your, you know, percentage by weight, you know. So, there's dirty tricks. I don't trust THC percentage at all.

[00:44:21]I like this uh Gandalf Stash comment.

[00:44:23]Gandalf Stash, yes, says, "I'm from old school. I loved the effects that worked and find that today is lacking in that mellow stone. I think high THC actually works against your system. I feel that in the case and it's the chase for that fire that we've left out. What actually makes it fire, breeding out the CBD nearly entirely. It makes me wonder."

[00:44:46]And a lot of strains have brought out the CBD. And if when I smoke a high 20% strain with no or next to no CBD, I think it does work against my system for me in the sense that I will get a little bit more racy. Sometimes I'll get paranoid high other times. And like lately, if you guys know the show, I've been growing uh I grew out a bunch of CBD and I'm mixing all my [ __ ] 50/50.

[00:45:06]I'm really digging on it. 50% CBD flour, no THC with 50% higher THC flour, probably 15 to 20%. So I agree with you, Gandalf Stash. Bring the CBD back, Scotty. Hey, you know what I learned in my research is the cannabis receptors, I think they're called CB1 receptors, but man, you know, you can wipe them clean in 48 hours. So, if you want to get like high school high, just don't smoke for two days, man. Don't make me pull out that product, Scott. Right. Yeah. Where is it? I still have it, man. It's supposed to wipe your >> There's a product that increases your tolerance.

[00:45:42]Yeah.

[00:45:42]>> Undo.

[00:45:43]>> We We haven't taken it. Give me the undo, man. You don't need the undo.

[00:45:51]>> All right. Let us know in the comments, man. Do you like Are you a CBD hater?

[00:45:54]Like Scotty going to label you a CBD hater? What? What do you guys think about high percentage?

[00:46:01]>> You need you need the you need the entourage effect. But I'm curious what you guys are token. Do you need to test your own? I've never really tested my own either. So, you know, is it worth it if you just know you're growing the dank? Probably not. Give me some.

[00:46:13]>> No. know what gets you high. You know, I had three different strains. I was like, "Dude, I love this buzz." Man, I tell you honestly, the Moose X is so frosty.

[00:46:24]I love it. It tastes great. It looks great. It makes me dumb dumb to the point where I'm all like, "Weed is weed." I deliberately I took a butt out of this, was gonna roll a joint, and it was like, "No, I have to go out and be around people." And I smoked a different strain, man. Yeah. I smoked the Zpie instead. So yeah, I I don't need a laboratory to tell me that.

[00:46:47]>> All right, moving on. I have to shout out some DDC producers, Scotty, you know, taking advantage taking advantage of the member benefits, catching the replays, and just making this show happen. It's our 10th year, keeping Gramble on the boards. Got Banner always working hard, keeping the site going. So I appreciate respect to DDC producers like 10K, 10K LG. Anything? Do you get anything from that, Scotty? 10K LG.

[00:47:09]>> Yeah, that's 10K, man. 10 kilos.

[00:47:12]Large man. Large.

[00:47:15]>> 10 kilos of large ganja.

[00:47:17]>> Yeah.

[00:47:19]>> What's up hungry? What's up hungry?

[00:47:22]Appreciate you. GGC and OG DGC at the cup. Fly high 89. How's it going, man?

[00:47:28]>> Absolutely.

[00:47:30]>> Hey hungry. Isn't that where we're going to get our hair transplants, Grimbo?

[00:47:33]Yes. Yeah. They won't leave me alone.

[00:47:35]>> It's really good. My head is hungry for for hair.

[00:47:40]Uh, you know what, man? How about JP page two, Utah? Make it too.

[00:47:47]>> I like it as well.

[00:50:12]>> Right on. Right on. All right, let's take it to a little bit of fall of prohibition. Well, as I always say, I wish we weren't doing this segment anymore. It' be celebration of descheduling will be the segment I want to do. But um yeah, let's do this. Dude, I feel like the way that schedule three is happening and these giant corporations that are grabbing at the cannabis industry is going to affect our growers rights. There's a lot, you know, we don't have a federal law written yet.

[00:50:43]And you've got people that are only uh motivated to sell you cannabis at their stores for whatever price they determine. I and they don't want growers. They don't want home growers, right?

[00:50:58]>> I mean, just bring us up to speed. Tell me if I'm right. You know, it's been a quite a while now since um the current what do I say? Leader, the current dude uh said, "Hey, let's let's reschedu this." And then months and months and months and months and months went by and then something recently, the past few weeks did an executive order, I believe, or something. So, it's trying to move it along quicker. um which doesn't you know so really as a home grower if you're in a state where you can recreationally grow at home uh you're in the same position as you were before it's still looked at as a scheduled one your state of course says it's okay but if the feds chose to show up oh that grow tent at your house you'd be growing a schedule one substance you would be in trouble on the federal level they're not doing that I think Scotty this will affect home growers hold on in if you're in a state and there's still a lot that don't allow any recrow I think it's less likely they're going to allow rec grow after this. Go ahead. Don't even show him.

[00:51:49]Don't even show it, man. Don't even show it. Yes. Um uh we dude were talking.

[00:51:57]He's like, "The cat's out of the bag on this one." And I'm like, "Maybe you get in a fight with your girlfriend." And I I know it happened to somebody that I know. They got in a fight with their girlfriend. The police showed up and they had a grow tent and maybe they also had a gun, which isn't that weird, you know, licensed gun and they got charged for, you know, they were going to get a 5-year minimum mandatory for it, man.

[00:52:22]>> Wow. Yeah, I I feel you. Uh, you know, so what's behind this? I mean, what break it down as far as what's changing, like I said, as far as with this coming in big worries with big pharma.

[00:52:33]>> Yeah. What's changing is the people that are behind this and what their motivations are. Granbo.

[00:52:38]>> Yes.

[00:52:39]>> Have you met Kim Rivers yet?

[00:52:40]>> Oh, she's the uh cannabis whisperer.

[00:52:43]>> She is. Meet the cannabis industries Trump whisperer. Remember we said she's the one that got the autographed hat and pen when Trump >> She so looks like she does not belong in there. That is so obvious.

[00:52:55]>> She has been photoshopped into that.

[00:52:56]>> They put vampire. They put a little bit of her incizers. They uh they uh extend in, didn't they? Look, I it's just it's a bummer because this is the girl. She a woman, she is uh a head of True Leaf, which is I think they get like 60% of the the business in uh Florida. And the way they did it, man, Florida has I think like I don't know 10 15 licensed dispens or licensed uh facilities because it's a seedtoale state. You have to have enough money to be able to have your own uh grow facilities, extraction facilities, retail facilities, and all that. You need to have deep pockets and deep political connections, which she has.

[00:53:46]Yeah. And this is not only there. I mean, I can see where, you know, the big businesses coming in. There was recently a story out of Missouri, which has an awesome grow scene. We've been there to an event and but they are there's there's companies that are coming in and conglomerating all the dispensaries together under a certain umbrella and trying to navigate the rules with the big money. Um but I mean and I can see it's obviously in the interest we know the cannabis plants are very giving.

[00:54:10]It's I dare I say very easy to grow.

[00:54:12]It's pretty damn easy to grow with all the information out there today and the way how far genetics have come and you can literally grow quite a bit for somebody like me that consumes a gram a day. My my 210th setup takes care of all of my needs. More than all of my needs just with two tents very you don't need like back in the day you might have had to have gotten a sub panel more power for running thousand watt lights. The LEDs are super easy these days. So I could see them being threatened but I don't what are they going to do come >> I you know that girl I just told you about they got crappy weed in Florida.

[00:54:42]She has my weed at her house you know meaning that like when people come over I go hey let me give you a handful of weed and and I give them a handful.

[00:54:50]giving the worst problem I got is I don't have any jars. You know what I mean? Like I ran out of jars. But um yes, you can give a lot of you can keep a lot of people from needing to go to the dispensary out of a 4x4 or a 4x8.

[00:55:07]And that's what they're worried about.

[00:55:09]They So they won't tell you they're anti-homegrow.

[00:55:13]Although the provision they spent like I think it was 11 million bucks and I might be wrong on that. I know that just this year they gave I'm sorry to anti-cannabis uh lobbyists or lobby groups. They had that smart and safe Florida and they didn't go out and say dude we can't have homegrows. Homegrows are bad. What they said instead is, "Hey, we have to really watch our supply chain here. We have to make sure that the people aren't putting fentinel in their weed and that people aren't selling it to kids at school." Um, and you know, that has contaminated weed.

[00:55:53]So, that was the kind of stuff that made, you know, okay, hey, we need this seed to sale system. We can only use these giant corporations because we trust them and they're a radiated weed.

[00:56:06]That's shame.

[00:56:07]>> And the I think the example like I stated earlier is Florida has never allowed recreational homegrow and the amount of millions of dollars invested.

[00:56:16]It's a big population, a big market. So obviously it's going to be, you know, there's going to be a lot of lobbying against homegrow because it's not allowed there yet. But I don't see the tables turning in a state like Colorado, California, um, wherever they actually allow legal homegrow where they're going to try and be like, "Oh, we're going to take this away from you guys now."

[00:56:35]>> What if it's federal law? That's why I had to behave myself so much when the feds came because even though I was doing absolutely nothing wrong, the state guy, you know, the guy from Colorado Drug Task Force, I could have told him whatever, the fed guy, he can bust me for growing one plant cuz it's illegal to grow one cannabis plant that's over 3.3%.

[00:56:57]Here's why it works in in in summary for me. It's basically like I stated before and after any change with rescheduling, it's you are still doing the same exact thing. You're growing a a schedule one substance at your house and it's never going to change unless it's des plenty of growers used to operate under a 100 plant, you know, 99 plant rule.

[00:57:20]Stay below the 99, man. You know, the feds are not interested with their resources in a grow tent, a two light grow room. There's no like your advice is to stay below 999 plans so you don't get a so you you'll only get a year and a half in jail >> in state.

[00:57:37]>> No, I remember that. I remember that back in the day that >> get a 5year minimum mandatory in federal prison. That's not what we're trying to do right now. We're trying to just have some homegrowers rights to have ourselves a 4x4 and if god forbid the house caught fire and you don't you don't end up going to jail for it, you know.

[00:57:57]>> And it's >> I agree. We have >> we have had DGC that actually have had this exact situation happen and they had to fight for their home insurance because they had a little tiny home grow.

[00:58:08]>> Mhm.

[00:58:09]>> Yeah. So I'm back to these people though, man. the people that and by the way you talk about federal law. This is the Trump whisperer right here. You don't think that she is she's the one it's not federal schedule one it's schedule three which means it's ripe for big pharma to come and take it but these you don't think that she's going she's already helping write federal policy and Joe Rogan wasn't he there too is >> it is insane is insane slow walking too slow walking man um but uh you know the really crazy thing grandma I don't want to get this wrong will you click the MJ Biz daily article this is says bribery trial, husband of True Leaf CEO bragged about medical cannabis pull. The now husband of True Leaf CEO Kim Riv Rivers boasted about how a political connection helped the company obtain one of the first vertically integrated license to sell medical cannabis in Florida.

[00:59:04]According to a 2016 conversation with an undercover FBI agent. So this guy, this guy went to jail, didn't he go to jail for over two years for racketeering, extortion, fraud, and making false statements.

[00:59:18]Dude, that's the guy. Unbelievable, right?

[00:59:21]>> Another way to say that is uh they were successful at corruption.

[00:59:25]>> Yes, it is. And by the way, man, I went to school in Tallahassee. It is students at Florida State University and politicians that show up when Congress is in session. By the way, it does. If you look at the Tallahassee state and uh and the House, rather. And then you look at the capital, it looks like a [ __ ] and bull. Really does, man. Grandpa, you should Google it. But um they show up and these are good old boys, man. These are good old boys. So, I think they'd be glad to take a meeting and run up a $600 bar tab at the steakhouse. Yeah, I don't know, man. I do know. I know exactly how it works.

[01:00:03]>> Yes.

[01:00:03]>> Sounds like politics. Sounds like politics to me, Scotty. Sounds right on point.

[01:00:08]>> Business as usual. I'm really concerned because meanwhile, uh, the vertically integration means that you have to do everything. you own the stores and uh you own the everything from the stores to the grow and all in between. And they're trying to say that's a supply chain issue where you you need to uh hold that uh inventory and make sure that it never gets contaminated.

[01:00:33]I've got another story we'll do some other time about how they just lobbyed so you don't have to tell people that the weed's been irdiated when you sell it to them.

[01:00:44]We'll get into it. Just watch who's making the laws.

[01:00:46]>> Yeah. Uh I don't know what we can do about it.

[01:00:50]>> Give me some comments. I could be jaded, guys. My whole growing career, I I lived in Colorado where it was legal now. I live in Canada where it's federally legal. So, I don't have any fear. It kind of stinks if you're in a state where you're not allowed to grow on the rec side. And I get it, Scotty. You don't want that weight over your shoulder. Some people just don't want to think about being a criminal in any level.

[01:01:06]>> So, let me grow rights and where you're at, man.

[01:01:11]Give me some comments below.

[01:01:13]>> Heck yeah. All right, dude.

[01:01:14]>> All right, let's take it to some laughs, man. And if you guys have laughed, if you've learned anything today, had a good time learning with us about growing. Make sure you subscribe to this channel. Know what we got going on. Now, it's time to go into Scotty's feed. I don't have a feed right.

[01:01:30]Where you at?

[01:01:31]>> Come on. Let's get into Scotty's life.

[01:01:33]Okay, man. I was hanging out a couple nights ago and the wife comes in and she goes, "We should watch this show together. We should watch this." And it was called The Accused. And it was like one of her murder shows or whatever. The women love the murder stuff, but it was like a, you know, it was a TV show. And sure enough, I'm watching it and it is about this guy that his wife is super busy and doesn't have time for him. So, she gets him a sex robot and it is like in the near future. You can't tell how far away the future is. You know, you're like, "This could be like any time." And then I'm like sitting there. I'm like, "Dude, why did she want to watch this with me? Is she trying to tell me something?

[01:02:13]>> It's time for your sex robots.

[01:02:15]>> There you go. Look, she ordered me that thing. Take a look.

[01:02:19]>> Not just Rambo. Click that top one. What is happening? Yeah, that's >> Is this real?

[01:02:29]>> Yeah. In Russia, they're really creepy about him. It got us down the rabbit hole of just robot humanoid robots in general.

[01:02:36]>> Okay.

[01:02:37]>> Yeah. And by the way, it didn't end good for the characters at the end of it.

[01:02:42]Grandpa, that is almost ready. Almost ready for you.

[01:02:46]>> I straight I I have a hard rule. Never never never go.

And my boy's 21, but he's like, "What's up with the adult arcade? What's up with the adult arcade?" I'm like, "I don't know. You want to go?" He's like, "Uh-uh. You wait in the car."
