So this means that you already have everything to start your cultivation, your cultivation equipment, greenhouse panel, exhaust fan, charcoal filter, you have already purchased all of this, you have already purchased all the inputs you need to make your organic soil and also your mineral soil, your cultivation, right ? mineral, solid fertilizers, coconut fiber, perlite, so let's assume that you already have everything and that we are ready to start, but man PR, let's start with a few more steps talking about preparation, how are we going to prepare this soil well to have everything we want there in the best way, right? And also how important is this preparation because I talk so much about preparation, we're going to see all of this here today, the Part 4 guide is back and it's here to stay, there's no way you asked for a lot guys, so we're back until I apologize because man there were a thousand things happening at the same time if I'm not mistaken about the last one in the last 30 days, right, we traveled two or three times I had to write a big piece of writing for my Master's project so damn It was a lot of things happening at the same time We had a lot of interviews recorded so We released a lot of interviews on the channel but now the guide is back to his normal schedule one a week so let's go I'm energized no one will hold me back anymore you don't hold me back bro I'm here with the guide and let's call call whoever is excited for the guide comment complete guide to cultivating Part 4 preparation So let's talk about it here A brief introduction so you don't forget Ah what is culate what is Cadu blah blah blah preparation of organic soil how does it work mixing the hydrated soil soil cooking maintenance of this soil man for organic soil this preparation is even more important than for mineral you will see for mineral it is a little simpler we only have three steps basically hygiene buffering and a special tip based on a scientific article that We've already talked about this here on the channel, so here's the special tip, you already know, you're already connected, those who already know are already connected, So let's go guys, Before we get into Guide 4, I wanted to talk to you about two things, one guy, Do you want to start farming low?
our e-book our ebook is basically the theory of everything we saw here, I explain it on video, right, because man, everything is already written there, we have an eBook of over 110 pages talking everything about how to cultivate our methodology step by step but there we only talk about organic, let's make this improvement to talk about mineral there too and also man, our community on Telegram we are already more than 1600 members, people answer a lot of questions there, talk there, talk about cultivation there, it's a very good community, you can hit it Let's have a chat then let's go and for those who don't know me yet this is the guide for 4 I've already mentioned this in others but basically let's get to it quickly I'm Cadu I'm a production engineer I graduated from uf Universidade Federal Fluminense I've been a medical patient since 2015 2016 and I have abasc man, I'm a cannabis researcher, I've already done some research and I'm excited that I'm starting my master's degree to do more so we'll be doing more research soon, I'm one of the founders here at Cult Light, we started working on Cult in 2019 we've been in this mod for a long time and I also founded the research group respect which is still nothing, it's a very new group that we founded this year but we're putting ourselves in places to make it happen so that's how it works so let's go talk about [Music] preparation So let's go guys I brought here a survey to illustrate why I think so many people think it's so difficult to cultivate here on the global standards of domestic cannabis cultivation, basically they took cultivators who cultivate like this on an individual scale, they asked some questions, a whole form to find out more about Who cultivates, Who is this Persona who cultivates, right? So they basically asked your age and how you live, salary and wife because you cultivate all the medicinal stuff And then there was a part that I thought was really cool, it was the success in the first cultivation And look how cool this research was, 6200 people were interviewed and 33% were unable to harvest it the first time, which I think is even a number relatively low so I see it on the internet like it's difficult, in your first cycle you do well right away because there's a lot going on, generally this happens to people who either studied a lot or had a more experienced friend guiding them. Or they got the Cult ebook and started without I'm making mistakes, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, but that's it , you got a method , right?
And look and look at more data. like there are not a few people 7% who responded to the survey still haven't been able to harvest So guys it's a bunch of people cultivating it is difficult but in my opinion it's not in my opinion it's not but why do some people find it difficult and I have some opinions on this topic because some people find it so difficult to cultivate, let's go, there are two main points. In my opinion, a lack of knowledge, like if the person didn't look for knowledge or simply didn't find a good source, it's to get all the knowledge from a single source that This is also important and when you are starting out you see knowledge here then someone else here applies the tip from one stop to another that you don't even know, sometimes it's a completely different cultivation method, you see it there, but you don't know that there is a different cultivation method, so you end up applying something that You should apply it to one, apply it to another, then when you see you are flushing the organic matter, putting the ice on the soil, doing a lot of crazy things and then getting complicated, this would be a lack of knowledge on the subject, in my experience, which is normal for those just starting out in the second option it would be lack of preparation due to lack of preparation and cultivating without preparation It's very, very, very difficult because fixing mistakes is more difficult than avoiding them, so I put two photos here that we already received in our DMS, just so you can see this one, the first photo, the most common, the guy germinates seed in any soil there is because that's it Like, well, this is dirt, so Earth is good for plants, so I'm going to put the seed here and then you'll see it completely Like this here looks like Clay, this expensive plant won't survive there, it won't develop there it won't give good flowers there, you know, We can solve something that was grown in clay, how are we going to cultivate it there, man, it's much more difficult just to imagine it, I'm like [ __ ] I don't know, I don't know, it's much more difficult and in this other one here it would be a user also cultivating with random substrate that he knows, he dug it from the garden, he put it in the vase and it's there, but man, there are several problems and how do you solve problems soil that you don't really know What the soil is, what the problem is, you could have even put a little animal there in the soil in the grow room So man, it's hard to work, it's hard to cultivate like this because solutions to We're always going to have to look for a solution, basically every week we're going to see a new thing there, like a new problem like damn, now the leaves are starting to turn yellow And now how am I going to solve this within this soil that I don't know what There's this kind of thing that makes us very confused, especially at the beginning, and there's also a mess that I call error logistics, where the more you make mistakes, the more you're late, and the more errors become punishing because the error has a logistics so for example I noticed a problem here in this plant Caraca, for me to solve this problem, I'm going to have to buy a stop because sometimes I don't have one so it takes a while to arrive Or until I go there to buy it, then like the plant gets more damaged just because of this logistics of me, you're a beginner and not having the necessary things to also solve that error, right?
So growing unprepared is very difficult, it's very difficult. And growing is not difficult, what 's difficult is solving these problems, right? If we go here, this is Grown Easy, right?
very good, it has this Plant Doctor flap that he basically talks about all the problems that there are in cannabis, how do you solve blah blah blah So man, it's a very big page, you see, like, calcium deficiency, deficiency of who knows what, heat, the yellow part at the bottom could be that part yellow at the top It could be something else, there are a dozen problems that we can have and there are. Even this little table actually helps us a lot to identify, but for one beginner, this is the hardest part, so what I hope for here is that we're going to prevent problems from happening, so let's make a good preparation to avoid all these, all the deficiencies, all the excesses, we're going to have a good soil recipe so we can get this right right away. It's our plan because solving problems is very difficult, diagnosing for beginners is also difficult and finally, man, another thing is that the same problem can have several causes and when you're a beginner this is even more difficult, so for example, man, I'm having a problem with yellowing of lower leaves can being low in nutrients can be high PH can be low PH can be a problem when watering the beginner he will be like What is it in fact What is it in fact So let's avoid this type of problem with our wonderful preparation for cultivating prepared man it's much more easy, for example, these plants here are being taken to the ground, basically growing like this for 20 days and from the 10th, 12th to the 25th day of them growing without you making any type of fertilization input, growing because the ground already has everything they need.
balanced, it's already been rested So your plants will grow without any problems, man, there's less chance of you having nutrition problems and not dealing with problems, it's much easier, also less chance of having problems with aeration in the soil, like the one that germinated there in the Clay that can cause root rot in the future reduces these chances, growth will flow in an optimized accelerated manner, yields will be greater and it will be much easier to take care of the plants, man, it will be much easier to manage, so that's why we want to prepare a lot well the soil the substrate so we can have the best cultivation possible, so let's go, let's talk about mixing organic soil , I already bought all the ingredients, this guy here is from build soil, if you want to mix your organic soil in the most detailed way he has it on his channel, he has it a video on YouTube mixing soil something mixing soil is basically 50 minutes just talking about this stop this face is the key part of organic it is the part where you will have the most sweat work but also this you have to understand that it is also the only boring part of cultivation after that it's just you alone water only in the water So we are going to spend a lot of energy right here Look how he picks up the big stones he breaks all the big stones with his hand this is very important PR not to have anything concentrated there and look at this cool thing for large volumes you can do this mix on a tarp if you are not going to mix that much soil, you can do it in a normal reservoir in the 50 l organizing box if you are going to mix a little but if you are going to mix a lot more than 50 l a tarp is cheap you spread it well and it takes hold a little paddle starts to knead everything and everything breaks down like this, it's very good. Generally, I see more experienced people doing it with canvas because you can be sure and mix it very well. It's very easy to mix already in the organizing box, but it's not that easy.
even if it 's a lot will have characteristics hydrophobic So we're going to throw water on it, it's going to kind of create a barrier so the water will only wet the outside of it but it won't wet the inside because it's hydrophobic, so like the water will create a path and it will run off, so it's very important that we water it Very slowly, this soil, Bu Soil's brother, he even uses a aspo, this is more man, it's like a high-pressure water jet, right, it's like that, but this one isn't high-pressure, but it is how is it good similar is a water jet, it uses this water jet that disperses the water very well to water very slowly, right, look here . you don't necessarily need something like this, but you just understand the importance of watering slowly, right, you don't want to create a mud here, the appearance of it has to be moist and not soaked, this moment here is a good time for you to wet your soil with a bad tea of humus If you want to know more about it, we already have a recipe on our blog And look, this is the most important part How do you know it's at the correct humidity? You're going to take a ball like this and force it.
You see how the ball doesn't fix? It's not firm, so it's not wet enough, it's still too dry. You can see how it's loosening up, it's still slow, so you still need to water more and mix more, this will be the culmination of the work of the super soil guys, mixing, watering, mixing , watering and you want do it very slowly, so there's no way to speed up this part, this part is Vital vital and here at the end he will show you what it looks like when it's at the right humidity, right, look at the strategies you can do with the canvas, it still looks dry.
But look at how firm it is without leaking water, that's basically what we want, we want it to be firm , we knead it and the structure stays there but it's not leaking water yet, so guys, basically at this point the soil is hydrated now we move on another part So guys, let's go what would this part be, let's remember here we added what microorganism humus compost thousand things biochar microorganisms love a lot of things that have a lot of microorganisms so man these microorganisms will start to activate they will start to consume the compounds they will start working there, this soil will heat up a lot due to the decomposition process, then the soil will enter what is called the thermophilic phase. There will be many microorganisms present and the temperature of this soil will rise, cool, it should stay some 40º in some cases it reaches up to 60 depending on the soil recipe and it is very common that at this stage many nutrients are broken down chemical transformations happen so things that were not available before were available, the plants in a format that they like will now be in which the microorganisms are already they are breaking things down so things will be more accessible PR for the plants to consume this is very important so that is why we leave the soil after preparing for 14 21 days two to three weeks resting just for the temperature to lower it end up not damaging the roots, you know, this can happen, we let it lower the temperature a little and stabilize, generally at this stage we carry out maintenance. This maintenance would basically be what to cover, for example, keep all the soil that I mixed and kept here, man.
cover it here with a little hay so it doesn't get exposed and lose moisture to the air, so it's very good if you cover it, cover it, then you go maintenance maintenance basically means adding water slowly just to keep its humidity at that level that we had talked about initially because after e. g. let it sit for 21 days man after seven it will have already lost moisture so we want to get back to its moisture but remembering that we don't want anything soggy it has to be damp man it's not wet it's not getting the sun and it's dripping dripping and pouring underneath none of this is humid Zinho humid humid humid so show guys after you did this just wait for it 21 days and we'll start using it but before we use it let's also talk now about the mineral guys, right bro the mineral guys It can't be forgotten, let's go, how do we prepare coconut fiber?
Coconut fiber is much easier, I like to do it in these organizing boxes right here with lids. First let's sanitize, how do we sanitize coconut fiber, put the coconut fiber here and there man I arrive with about three two or three pans of boiling water And then great, I throw Hot Water there and put the lid on man, it will already have a temperature at the surface so we want to do this when we put it at a temperature very high in fiber Coconut basically we will kill eggs of any larva larva any animal that is moving bacteria fungi most of them die above 60° so when we already put this hot water here and cover man there will be that steam There it will maintain a certain temperature and we're going to clean everything, that's basically it for half an hour closed there and we can go to the next stage And now let's talk about the process that I consider most important in coconut fiber which is buffering the coconut fiber What is buffering And why what that the we need to buffer, let's go quickly here, basically talk about chemistry Dude, have you ever stopped to think about why calcium and magnesium deficiencies are the most common when we 're talking about mineral cultivation? Why does this actually happen?
Everyone, you show the photo to someone the person says f wow there's a lack of calcium magnesium there's calcium magnesium calcium magnesium This is the most common why Because man in my opinion They are people who are cultivating without buffering the coconut fiber So guys, coconut fiber has a lot of C of sodium and potassium which are this yellow and this green what happens instead of the calcium and magnesium that we are putting there in the watering go to the roots to go where we want them to go what happens because they are negative they end up being attracted to the C that are positive So the sodium and potassium come together with calcium and magnesium and become another stop, they kind of lock those nutrients there, so the plant is watering all the calcium, all that magnesium, the coconut fiber is holding it in its own chemical structure. hers and the plant is not receiving then we put calmag calmag calcium magnesium calcium magnesium she is deficient watering watering watering and doesn't feel anything why Because the coconut fiber it keeps stealing these two nutrients that we want to deliver to the plants So what would be buffering buffering would be a solution this problem of sodium and potassium, basically, putting a lot of calcium and a lot of magnesium to balance this situation before we start cultivating And then our plant can receive what we want it to receive, basically buffering it, that's it, so let's go basically to buffer man we need what I recommend doing like this you can do it in a bucket you can do it in the reservoir box for every 10 l of coconut fiber you will make 20 l of this following solution which would be 20 l of water of course 4 g of magnesium sulfate 19 g of calcium nitrate now you will take this solution, mix it, water it and leave it to rest, moisturizing for several hours or so and then just drain the water, ready, it's buffered, there are people who are more perfectionists who will measure it beforehand How much was the EC, see if the EC of the coconut fiber is now? It's similar, do a second tampon to be sure, but if you did it once, it's already a goal.
That's what preparation avoids problems so I think it's very important the last special tip for us to close with a golden key this is also a great moment in coconut fiber for us to inoculate the coconut fiber with tricoderm because we sanitized coconut fiber show there is no more bacteria there is no fungus here basically what we do now so tampon now let's inoculate with tricoderm dude let's shield Our CCO fiber This is a great time for us to do this inoculation this study here it showed me some things like first He showed me what I already knew that tricoderm reduces the chance of you having root fungus, root problems etc etc show this was already a mess for me because there are already many studies on this, another thing he showed that there are also many studies on this is that the plants had better growth when they were inoculated with tricoderm show there are also many studies on this so what is certain is that it reduces the incidence of soil pathogens, improves root development Man, tricoderm already There's an absurd amount of literature, but the cool thing about this study was that it also tested using coconut fiber and one thing he noticed was that when you inoculate with tricoderm, as soon as you start cultivating the population of tricoderm remains active and at high levels up to 4 months later, so we just need to inoculate now, at this point the population will remain high, tricoderm will continue working with us until the end, even with mineral watering, even with watering with fertilization, because tricoderm it It's absurd guys This is the truth so I recommend that you inoculate your coca fiber with tricoderm now and it will be perfect for both organic and organic cultivation, so I recommend that you use this micro arm here from organ LB that he has this 250 ml tricoderm, a super affordable price and with great quality, we even have it in the organo store, organo already came live here Danilo Mita, good people are working with the top active microorganisms, so take a look at the man is angry So guys, being honest with you This part is over and man the next classes will be very quick very quick Because we've already talked about everything we had to talk about basically so now we're going to talk about the next germination and seedlings then there will be one just about Vega and training So it will be class six and we will end in class s or eight talking about flowering and techniques at the end of flowering and drying, curing and blah blah blah so there is still all this path but the The hardest part we've already talked about, the hardest part we've already done is Get ready now, man, the cultivation, you'll see how easy it is. Mainly in the super soil, we're not going to do any input, we're not going to do any crazy fertilization. No, we're not going to We also need to worry about nutritional problems because everything is already there prepared bioavailable already rested already cured already transformed now guys the stuff is perfect now it's about taking care of the environment that the plants will grow so show it so guys this guide deserves a part five you're enjoying it so leave it there Comment below this moral because this helps us a lot here on the channel, we're putting this here, it requires a lot of work, a lot of study, I'm here recording at 7 in the morning, so call Hey, then comment, prepare 73, if you liked this guide, we're going to do the part 5 for next week, but getting you to comment helps a lot , so comment on anything you think that you thought was missing from this preparation class, what do you want to see in the next ones?
