Here's a little rant about the absurd level of ignorance with our law makers regarding their understanding the difference between solids and liquids. Humans are legally allowed to cozy up to the bar and down a shot of 190 proof Everclear, presumably to the point of death, but at the same time lawmakers wish to impose potency laws on flowers. ?♂️?♂️?♂️
Enjoy...
Oh, and let me know what you think about the sample video at the end. ✌️
Website: https://www.flacowatts.com
This video's for soil geeks who believe the better the soil the better the crop. (I apologize for the scratching on the audio. I forgot to take off my headphones and they rubbed on the mic.)
The trial question I'm looking to answer is: What base potting soil is best for my setup?
I geek out on soil and have for awhile. I, like many others I feel, are in pursuit of the "Ideal Potting Soil" or, as it is commonly called, "Super Soil."
I've developed hundreds of recipes over the years and they are all made up of three main parts:
1) Base - this is the structure of the medium. Common materials used are Peat Moss, Coco coir, Perlite, Pumice, Vermiculite, etc.
2) OM - Organic Matter - Common materials used are Earthworm Castings, Compost, Forest Compost, etc.
3) Amendment - Food and minerals. Common materials used are minerals such as Dolomite lime, Azomite, Sulfate of Potash, as well as plant or animal based foods such as Alfalfa meal, Bone meal, and many commercial soils use synthetic salts such as Ammonium Nitrate, Potassium Phosphate, etc.
I've experimented with probably thousands of combinations of all three of the above groups. What I've learned is that the possibilities are endless. Potting Soil creation has become my main focus that I believe maximizes my quality. There's a certain joy in knowing that if you can create an ideal or near ideal soil, that your results cannot be matched.
In this video I'm running a trial Isolating different bases. Basically, I'll be running half the room with straight 707 from Root Organics vs a 50/50 blend of 707 and ProMix HP.
Feel free to ask any questions or tell me where you're at in your journey as a soil maker.

Hey hey hey! Sorry for the delay! Life came up and life don't play!
Seriously though, I got too much going on to spend time on these videos. It'd be one thing if I was making money on them, but that day's a long way off. Until then, I need to prioritize the things that I make money on.
In the next video, I'm gonna have a discussion about Utube and their ad revenue and ads in general.
Thank you for your patience and know that we're still working hard towards creating the best damn educational content available on the internet.
✌️and grow well...

Hi Friends,
I of course am deliriously tired and have been up for 24 hrs (again). I'm gonna go take a nap and when I rise from the dead, I will write a witty and entertaining description. Till then, enjoy the video and sweet dreams.
Ok I'm back to reality. I wanted to let any of you reading this that I shall return next week with a very short video basically just reading your comments... I liked that. You see, I don't really have time to put into these weekly videos now that we're about done filming. Every spare second I need to be editing.
That being said, leave a comment if you want to talk on camera. Also, if you want to leave a comment that I don't read and react to then just put FYEO at the start of it. Thank you everyone and wish me luck over the next few weeks.
✌️Flaco

Welcome to the world of Flaco Watts. It's a world where we take care of ourselves, our family and our friends. It's a world of home growers who give a shit about the quality of their plants and what goes into them. Let the industry boofs chase the money. They'll never reach our level, the level of the home grower who gives a shit.

Hello folks... back again with some more non-sense. A few updates, some info on things and a few jokes. This was filmed March 23, 2020 if you think I'm not up to date on my info.
Stick around till the end, or skip to the end if you don't like my sense of humor, and I'll show you a few pictures of this latest harvest.

Hello Everybody!,
Sorry again for the delay. This was a long one but it should be worth it. Here's another how-to video from yours truly. I'm hoping it has the same impact as the first how-to.
Here's the official recipe that I did in the video:
1) 25 grams of cannabis extract (from frosty trim) infused into
500 ml Coconut Oil in a 9in sauce pan around 180℉ fro 20 minutes
(see my first video for instructions on how to make the extract: https://youtu.be/W8rkR4Jm_mE )
2) Bring double boiler pan to around 150℉ and pour in cannabis infused coconut oil
3) Add: 100ml Peanut oil (or similar oil)
4) Add: 50ml Vitamin E oil
5) Add: 50ml Emu oil
(I also added 50ml of high CBD cannabis extract that had been infused into MCT oil at a 10:1 ratio of MCT to extract)
6) Melt down 200ml bee's wax (in sauce pan) and add to the mix
7) Stir or whip resulting mix and bring to 180℉ for 20 minutes
8) Pour into jars and let cool
9) Rub cooled oil on everything to change your life
10) Change the world
Go to https://flacowatts.com and purchase a $100 credit to help fund the "how to grow at home" course production by Feb 29, 2020 and you'll receive both courses and a lifetime membership to the site.
The final price of the two courses has yet to be determined by most likely it will be around $500 for both or $300 each. I know it seems like a lot compared to the $50 each I originally chose but know that it'll be worth 10-100x more than the cost in the mistakes you'll avoid and the high level of product you'll produce.
Thank you to everyone who has and will support this. Tell a friend and let's get this shit done!!
