Can not wait to see the full results this is my first round with living soil and this really helps in the transfer process and has made a big difference in the overall health of my plants 🪴 indoor and tent even used it for my peppers 🌶 thank you to the team for all your efforts and to rootwise for a stellar experience.

I started using this on my first auto flower indoor grow. She's a big wide girl that I constantly have to tuck or remove a leaf here and there. The first time I used it I was really surprised. My Cap Junky lady looked healthy and strong. Nice great depth of green everywhere and her bud hairs began to grow thicker at their base. I just used it today for the last time before harvest. I'm sure I'll be seeing more vigor in a few days as that phosphorus and potassium make her buds swell even more. It's Pushin-p for the win boys!!!! 💪😃👍

I use coco and perlite indoors in winter. I’ve tried adding microbes with a certain amount of success. With Mycrobe,the results are much more obvious and extreme. It doesn’t need to be re introduced every two weeks. Water it in the root zone at transplant and as long as a plastic mulch covering is used(Earthbox or bags) Santa’s beard will be visible on the top of the media for the entire grow. The plants have a noticeable vigor all around if used with a quality nutrient program. More so than without the inoculation of Mycrobe. It honestly surprised me as I by it for outdoor living soil use and decided to try it indoors with coco grow just out of curiosity. It takes very little to colonize the entire medium too. Be sure to add a sugar product designed for hydro/coco use. I use the stuff that has the colorful tattoo looking pics on the bottles for coco. Hate the company but they make great products. In any case, the microbes need food so you’ll need to add a product that fills that need. I’m very satisfied with Mycrobe and I see one $30 purchase lasting my outdoor summer grow and indoor coco grows for two years at least. Very cost effective.

I was extremely off in where I thought my lights should be until I got this PAR Meter. It is incredible. My friend has a fancy expensive one and we got the same results almost identical. It is so worth the money and changed my grow indoors. As a 1st time indoor grower I think this is so important to have and actually a must!

I’ve been using the mustard seed for about 2 1/2 to 3 years now both indoor and outdoor I haven’t gotten any unwanted bugs so I assume it’s doing its job and I’ll take anything that will help against unwanted pests.

I picked this up as a bloom booster to go with my other organic base bloom nutes. After using it indoors and having great results I also gave my tomatoes in the garden some too. The health of all plants was noticeably improved within days after I gave it to them! Can't ask for any more than that I'm even buying more

I have been using Craft Blend for a few years now with great results! I grow using Coot's & BuildASoil methods. Super high Brix @ 22 . And if you are not mulching your indoor pots, you and your plants are missing out!

My earthbox jr first outdoor grow after more than 5 years indoor perpetual with BAS. Picture is before I top dress with craft blend and kashi bloom. Soil is living and plants are happy. What more can I ask. Overgrow the people.

I have been growing indoors for 3 years and struggling to get a consistent result with Happy Frog and Fox nutrients. Not a problem anymore! Built my own Coots soil, put it in auto pot type planters, water, few hits of Build a Veg and a couple top dressings of Craft Blend and that’s no longer a problem. Healthy organic Medical Cannabis and my cherry tomatoes are ridiculous.

Unbelievable!!!! This product is everything it says. Though our first 3 indoor grows Gnat were a major problem. We tried multiple product, but nothing worked. Bought WDG3000 Treated our soil as directed and have had absolutely no issues. Highly recommend WDG3000. In the photo is Skunk #1 leftside and Northern Lights right side

Way easier to maintain the right soil moisture for sure I love it

So I was super skeptical of organishield's promises of eliminating aphids,mites and thrips . Its going to get rid of all of the worst pests ,one single product? No way! Well YES WAY,after an infestation of aphids in my garden i decided to buy some organishield and holey crap I had green aphid larve running up entire branches so I mixed in the entire 2.5oz bottle into a gallon jug and sprayed all my plants until run off and each morning I am seeing less and less and aphids and now they are completely gone from almost every single plant. If I see a single aphid I reapply to the entire plant and I am almost aphid free!! I will be buying organishield every year for my outdoor grows and honestly I'm going to start using it indoors for preventative maintenance against mites and other annoyances 10/10 would recommend to everyone organic farming or even if your not organic farming and just need a good incesticide to rid your grow of aphids this is the way!! Good luck and happy growing

To start off, I would give this 2.5 stars if that were possible. But as the choice is between either a 2 star or a 3 star review, I have settled upon the 2 star review. The reason for this is I have experience in the necessary skills to complete the pump kit, and purchasing the missing parts is not exceptionally difficult. But, the differences between what was shown in the YouTube series and what is actually shipped was one of the primary deciding factors. The other is the amount of assembly required for this product to work properly. I will try to go into how / where I decided the overall rating deserved a deduction listed below. The first photo I attached is the parts which were shipped with my pump kit. The second photo is a screenshot from the YouTube video. There are two parts which are missing from the package which was sent to me. The first is the 3rd shutoff valve to attach to the reservoir, so that I can stop the flow of water from the reservoir into the pump if there is a leak upon pressurization of the system. This is quite an important aspect as the parts included in the kit are PVC and they have threaded attachment points, which if not wrapped with sufficient plumbers tape, they will leak. For me I have had to locally source this additional shutoff valve so that I no longer have to pinch off the poly hose to fix leaks which occurred in my system upon pressurization. This oversight is why I have deducted a star. The next part also is associated with the Season 6 Episode 12 YouTube video as well. When Jeremy asked Cooper how the item was shipped, it was indicated that a significant part of the pump and tank were preassembled. This was true, but please assume that every PVC part that was connected prior to shipping will leak and take these apart and reseal them prior to pressurizing your system. This will save you from having to drain the pump without the additional shutoff valve attached at your reservoir. I had multiple leaks which resulted in me having to take each PVC part off and reseal them with additional plumbers tape so that my system did not leak. This was not the only aspect of the shipping / assembly which was somewhat misleading in the YouTube video. Nor was it the most significant part of assembly which really should be known prior to purchase. For me this was the fact that the pump itself had 3 loose wires which would be attached to the 120V 3-pronged power cord by the consumer. This is not something that most household users will be comfortable doing in my opinion. This was made only worse by the fact that 3 wing nuts were provided and this was expected to be sufficient for wiring the plugin cable for a pump system in an irrigation system where water might have a chance at coming into contact with this union in cables. The lack of disclosure of the extent of assembly and that you must redo much of the assembly is why I deducted another star. A suggestion to those who are purchasing this system is as follows. The appropriate method of wiring the wires is to first stagger the cuts in the cables, so that the bulge in the cable isn't too significant. I then soldered each wire individually and covered each wire with a heat shrink sleeve. Once all 3 wires were soldered together at staggered intervals, I then slipped an even bigger heat shrink sleeve over the combined wires. I then covered the entire section in electrical tape. This can be seen in photos 3, 4, and 5. Finally, when I inquired with Build A Soil as to the potential return of the pump kit as the missing parts and the extent of the assembly was frustrating to deal with, BAS provided me with the email address for Cooper from Sustainable Village as any return of the item would need to be coordinated with Sustainable Village specifically. Cooper was genuinely trying to help me get the pump functional and did send me one of the most important missing pieces within a week from our first interaction. Cooper also provided me with his personal cell phone number in an attempt to resolve the issues I had with this purchase. Sadly it was this extra effort which resulted in the pump no longer being able to be returned, as soon as I did anything with the wiring the item would not be able to be returned. This was more or less confirmed as when I asked Cooper about their return policy, he never responded to that inquiry. This is ultimately where the next half star / full star point was deducted. In closing, the pump works as expected once it has been assembled. Assume every single piece will leak and reapply plumbers take in excess to what you think is needed, this will save you from dealing with the multitude of leaks which I had to deal with. Also source out the extra shutoff valve prior to installing the system, this will help you control the flow of water in your system. Also be mindful if you are attempting to get the superflex tubing shown in the YouTube video as well, this is not an item sold via Build A Soil and I have been waiting a week now for Sustainable Village to take the money from my paypal account. The last photo can be compared to the second photo to show the missing / locally sourced parts that I have or will have to obtain to have my pressurized system working as hoped.

Nothing beats a big bed of soil, this bed will do the job right. Indoor/outdoor, its gonna hold moisture well and still have enough to drain out the bottom if needed. There's a reason everyone uses em, they just do the job the right way

Never grew a cannabis plant before but it went legal last summer and I threw some seeds in the garden and forgot about them....it grew but wasn't that great . Someone mentioned Buildasoil to me and within a month I had gone down the soil building / Coots mix rabbit hole and wanted to make my first Coots mix from scratch. I really didnt know anything about CEC or how plants grew but this website and specifically this product ( and the mineral mix ) got me on my way to actually making my own soil and learning why these ingredients are what Klackamas Coot uses in his own soil. Geez I could go on forever !!! Just finishing up my first indoor grow now and learned a ton !!

This is like icing for the cake. Makes my buds extra sparkly.

Great product for my no till indoor growing. A notable difference when used a directed.

507Farms: Just finished my first run using all buildasoil products, definitely running them again! Started a new 7 gallon and have another 7 gallon going on it’s 2nd cycle.

I used this as directed on the last indoor run and ended up with some really nice buds and an above average yield. Let everything go 72 days and ended up with beautiful, stacked, super dense frosty nugs. Dunno how good just shy of 1/2lb per plant in a 10 gallon is but it’s really good for me. For the next cycle I’ll still use as directed, in addition to the KNF style ferments that I inoculated with the stuff and the kashi blend that’s also inoculated with it. So yeah I’m gonna keep using it and find more ways to keep using it. Seems like this stuff deserves every bit of hype it gets.

I'd say the man who makes this stuff is a genius! My outdoor putang this year is way tastier than my last two indoor runs or last year outdoor! This yah-whey really makes a big difference in the terpenes and I have proof it really works! I used 1 Oz per gallon every watering!

Indoor and outdoor plants, my goodness idk why I never heard of this source of saponins, I usually would use my aloe plants but since I gave a lot away, this has been a dream. this and Sap 20

I can't say enough great things about the Build-A-Flower compost for Bloom stage as well as the Craft Blend for both veg and bloom. I'm using it for my indoor Medical Cannabis Cultivation in 2, 3, 5, and 7 gallon smart pots because I moved into a condo and no longer have access to outdoors and indoor space is 5 times less, therefore, I no longer have room for 20 & 30 gallon containers. I was a bit worried that I'm using a much smaller than recommended containers but after 2 cycles I got it dialed in and getting really good results for both PHOTOS and AUTOS strains. Check out the pics for reference 😉 I amend Biobizz Light-Mix soil with craft blend, dolomite lime, worm castings, rice hulls, biochar, vermiculite, and perlite and then after 3 weeks I start to top dress with craft blend and worm castings only and when flipped to flower I start adding craft blend with Build-A-Flower, Build-A-Bloom, worm castings, and dolomite lime when soil pH drops below 6.0 and I keep soil pH between 6.2 & 6.5 for best performance/results. I tried Gaia Green Organics nutrients but they don't come close to the results that BuidASoil nutrients deliver. It's a huge difference in size and hair Gaia Green Organics for some reason don't put on as much trichomes as much as Craft Blend does, it's a huge difference from completely covered in trichomes like snow vs ⅓ of plant is covered in snow, like 30% trichomes compared to 100% on volume. If you haven't tried Craft Blend before, than I highly recommend you do and don't buy the smallest size because it's a waste of money, might as well but at least the 9 lbs bag because you'll go through the small one in one cycle so it's not cost effective. I've included a couple of pictures for reference about 40 of them 😎 Happy growing 🪴🗣️💨

Been using the Q for 2 years and use it for every houseplant and gardens, both indoor and outdoor. Would like to take data from my Ecowitt sensors to compare relative drying rates but don’t want to deprive my living soil and plants.

I use this on my indoor grow, outdoor garden, and house plants. They all love it!!!
