do you ever get clones from a friend regretting your decision the next day like bad decision of
having a one-night stand well in this video we're going to get into it you're here with mark bowell
at perfectgardens.com please remember to like share and subscribe thank you guys for all the
support i appreciate it make sure to check out our membership site where i set up a very inexpensive
way to get quicker access to me just for 2.99 you all of your questions get prioritized had a post
from associate i've had a couple of videos with him i actually really enjoy what he says sharing
a story where he ended up going over to a friend's house late at night and pulled a hundred clones
when he by the time he got back home he realized they were totally infestated he acknowledges that
if he saw what the plants look like he definitely wouldn't have pulled the clones in the first place
although because he had this much time and energy invested into the decision and it's not like he
was just pulling a few clones he was pulling a hundred and if you went over to a nursery
and you're purchasing even a tomato plant like go over to home depot and purchase one tomato
plant it's 15 bucks depending upon the size it is let's say if you went over to home
depot and bought a hundred tomato plants that could very easily be fifteen hundred dollars
so he goes to the process of picking up a product called dr earth it's one of
their pesticide products similar to smite having similar essential oils in it and he was able to
salvage about 40 clones the reason why i wanted to actually talk about this post was because of
his fundamental around his decision making as well as also talking a little bit about the same thing
we all think about how can most ingredients when you turn it in the back of the bottle if it says
point zero three percent of the back of the bottle or just some small little tiny amount
why is it even worth purchasing it i mean like what are you really getting right when it says
inert ingredients like 99.7 that inert ingredient is normally water so i actually completely agree
with him in all these things he did you know if i if i would have went to my friend's house and
pulled 100 clones and i came back and they were had spider mites i would have probably done the
same thing realizing that they do have spider mites i would have probably separated the ones
that were the absolute worst kept the ones that were half decent sprayed them down just because
i feel fairly comfortable dealing with the problem and because i'm aware of the problem i'm just not
going to let the problem go i'm always going to be very sensitive knowing that these plants
had an initial problem and not just letting it go also taking into consideration the time you
put into doing making a decision right if you're gonna go and pull 100 clones from a friend's place
that's all time and energy that could be a couple hours you driving that's all time and money and
like i said if you went over to home depot and purchased those under clones that could have cost
you up to fifteen hundred dollars so definitely kind of doing a cost analysis where you're like
okay i'm dealing with clones and they're small right now and there's a very good chance that
i'll be able to get these plants to root and because it is small if i am diligent around my
pesticide regimen as they're rooting and as they go into veg there's a really good chance that i'm
going to be able to take control of this problem and neutralize it before i go into my larger room
which would be a bedroom or into the flower room i think as you develop yourself as a grower i think
it's absolutely essential to do what he first did right if he would have been there in the day
he wouldn't have even took the clones and that's i think the first fundamental thought process
that i think is really going to always keep your grow room or your grow environment in the
best conditions is just avoid the problem in the first place although if you do make the decision
you have to take into consideration your time how valuable it is and then also access to inventory
right at the where this industry at i don't know where you're located you could be in russia
india afghanistan south africa south america and the ability to go to a club or nursery just to buy
what you're looking for might not be available to you and going over to a friend's house or getting
a single clone that has spiderman issues already might literally be your only option and having
some basic awareness of how to solve the problem without causing more problems i think will only
make you a better grower so i think this is where i think dives into his next comment right here how
can point zero three percent of an ingredient in a bottle do anything right well i completely
agree with you i don't like buying 15 gallons for a thousand dollars and that be water kind of like
the hydro guard product that i did a review on recently i know through experience if i avoid
the prom i'm going to be able to save enormous amounts of money time and energy just dealing
with healthy plants if i need to buy a product i'm going to want to know what's in it at the end of
the day i don't mind paying for something that's going to solve my problem as long as it's in line
with my values although at the end of the day i do like educating myself and i do like becoming more
confident being a grower or just being a farmer just being a father or being a mechanic or being
whatever i'm doing i just i want to learn with the process i want to learn the why behind what
i'm doing if you find a product that works for you in your room this is basic business 101 guys
you're either going to save money make money or lose money and when you find once again a product
that you like in your room that might have a high ticket on it first thing i like to do is
turn the bottle look in the back and see what it is is this something that i can recreate myself
is this something that i can buy the raw ingredients and mix it myself because
for me i'm always doing stuff on the bigger level it doesn't matter what i'm doing in life whatever
i'm doing always has a higher price ticket and so i'm always trying to find ways to slim the fat
right from the get-go a lot of growers though when they're just growing with the tent these
types of products you're paying for convenience i mean most of the time you're not going to go buy
essential oils and mix it and go through the process of educating yourself because
you only have a limited amount of time and you have a job or something else you have to go do
family kids and all you really want to do is most people they either want to save money because they
are spending quite a bit buying it or they are actually passionate about the plant and want to
learn how to grow it the third factor is someone that wants to make money out of the industry
and it doesn't matter whether you're one of these three options understanding your inputs into your
operations the cost of these things whether it's an employee electricity water all these things
right that's part of creating a budget and an overall operational cost in what you're doing
and then once you have your cost at the end of the day if you're a good businessman or a good
businesswoman you're going to want to reduce that cost by getting the same quality product and i
promise you guys every single time you get behind the veil you're going to become more confident as
a person to make fundamental decisions in your own life because you're going to start to think
you know what i made a decision to stop buying this and i made it myself and it worked out
it actually worked really well and i liked it and once you do that once and twice and three
times you're gonna like anything else you're gonna become a contractor and you're gonna be a skilled
electrician you're gonna be a skilled barber or whatever it takes right i always tell my son if
you want to become great at something the only way to get there is through practice so going back
over to the overall situation guys if you're going to get clones from a friend that you're going to
do something you're going to go to a club and pick something up trust me you go to home depot they're
going to have bugs there as well okay guys the point to this is find something that works for you
don't stop educating yourself don't stop finding ways to save money or make more money
because that's what's going to create financial stability for you and your family throughout your
life and i hope this channel really helps save you money through making fundamental decisions
that makes you a better person overall because that's what the point to the channel is i think
still discovering that overall for myself anyways guys please remember to give me a thumbs up i
always appreciate that and always appreciate your support have a great girl everyone so
leaf hoppers grasshoppers and locusts are actually all different grasshoppers and locusts are fairly
similar the main difference between those is that a locust can actually create a huge infestation
