Plants 230
Every plant Jeremy names across the season — cannabis cultivars, cover crops, vegetables, mushrooms.
Alfalfa
Source of alfalfa meal in Craft Blend.
Discussed in: ep 015, ep 026, ep 027, ep 033
Alfalfa sprouts
Planned for next episode — Easy Sprout alfalfa for eating and for sprouted seed tea.
Discussed in: ep 030
Alien Kush
Reference lineage for the chunky noduling cola structure Jeremy sees on Halitosis number 12 — 'that alien cush look.'
Discussed in: ep 035
all-kid (breeding line)
Jeremy says Dave bred Branson's Royal Revenge from all-kid because Dave likes fruit and funk.
Discussed in: ep 042
Aloe vera
Used as a cutting-soak ingredient for its plant beneficials; 'another plant beneficial, not necessary' but improves consistency.
Discussed in: ep 015, ep 018, ep 021
Aphids
Jeremy names aphids as the kind of pest you don't want — the crop eater — versus the rove beetles and predator mites you do want.
Discussed in: ep 030
Arugula
A greenhouse bed of arugula managed by Jeremy's wife; used as a pitch for the potential greenhouse series.
Discussed in: ep 012
Barley
Sprouted barley seed is an ingredient in gnarly barley top dress and in kashi blend as sprouted malted barley.
Discussed in: ep 029
barley (top dress)
Part of the top dress that slow-moving decomposer mites are breaking down, alongside kashi
Discussed in: ep 019
BAS 12 Seed cover crop blend
The twelve-species BAS mix Jeremy sprinkles on the 3x3 and all four 10-gallons
Discussed in: ep 007
Basil
Newly transplanted basil installed via the paper pot transplanter system.
Discussed in: ep 009, ep 017

Discussed in: ep 019
Blackberries
Also mentioned as a higher-dollar berry crop needing extra micronutrient attention.
Discussed in: ep 028
Blue corn
Organic sprouting corn from BuildASoil — used for the SST demo, blended at day 4 (past ideal) for enzyme delivery.
Discussed in: ep 033
Blueberries
Mentioned as a higher-dollar berry crop where growers do hot-water extraction on humic-carrier micronutrient products.
Discussed in: ep 028
Branson's #9
Mentioned as a possible keeper cut alongside Halitosis #2 out of the whole room.
Discussed in: ep 025
Branson's number 12
The last keeper transplant of the episode. All its cuts rooted well; Jeremy picks the one with slightly more roots.
Discussed in: ep 021
Branson's Row Revenge
A Long Valley cross in the 1-gallon seed run, named as a tribute to a returning BuildASoil employee called Branson
Discussed in: ep 007
Branson's Royal
Cannabis cultivar in quadrant one. The dominant back-right plant is a Branson's Royal that Jeremy plans to thin to let light reach neighbors. One of the plants was below the second screen a couple days ago and Jeremy was worried it wouldn't stretch — now it's shooting up.
Discussed in: ep 024, ep 028, ep 033
Branson's Royal Revenge
The first seedling Jeremy labels on camera after transplanting, a named cannabis cultivar in the 10x10 lineup.
Discussed in: ep 002, ep 010, ep 011, ep 012, ep 014, ep 015
Branson's Royal Revenge #12
Jeremy's 'very straightforward' example — confirmed 100% female via a clear white pistil hair in the node crotch.
Discussed in: ep 009, ep 017
Branson's Royal Revenge #3
Thick stout-stalked plant left as a 'maybe' — might be an overbite or a branch. Jeremy notes Long Valley (in this cross) has tricked him in the past.
Discussed in: ep 009
Branson's Royal Revenge #9 (female)
Specific plant Jeremy pulls the green tag out of — Branson's Royal Revenge number 9, marked female.
Discussed in: ep 011
Branson's Royal Revenge (Akwid Dave)
Bred by Akwid Dave who works at BuildASoil. Six numbered phenos in the Season One grow (#1, #2, #5, #8, #9, #12). Yields ranged from 2 oz 16 g (#9, cannibalized) to 6 oz 24 g (#12, biggest yielder). Flavour profile spans Long Valley wine purple with GMO funk (#5), sweeter still-funky (#9), cookie-dough doughy (#12), and fruitier (#8). Two frontrunners for Season Two mother: #5 and #9.
Discussed in: ep 041
Branson's Royal Revenge number 2
Rounder less noduley bud structure, darker leaves, less purple. More fuel and less fruit in the smell. 'I like this one a lot.'
Discussed in: ep 035
Branson's Royal Revenge number 2 (BRR #2)
Another of the 10 genetics. Jeremy uses this as his example for how to label a row in green sharpie.
Discussed in: ep 021
Branson's Royal Revenge number 5
In the middle of the bed. Jeremy's favorite so far. Alien-level resin railed, thick dense nugs, rainbow fade with rose/wine/plum purple. Distinct grape funk — his biggest surprise of the walkthrough. Bud rot risk flagged if he'd grown even bigger buds.
Discussed in: ep 035
Branson's Royal Revenge number 8
Front right of section three. Most unique pistils in the room — thick firing hairs rotating out of each nodule. Dense nugs expected to weigh heavy. Fruit-plus-funk like the back Branson's.
Discussed in: ep 035
Branson's Royal Revenge number 9
Front plant in the 3x3 container. At day 6 it barely hit the screen — identified as a low stretcher. If it becomes the keeper Jeremy would veg this cultivar longer next run.
Discussed in: ep 020
Bransons
Another 10x10 cultivar finishing faster than the Halitosis. Shows both fade and a purple/anthocyanin expression depending on nutrient load — heavier fade on the light-soil bed, more purple on the better-fed beds. Trichomes showing cloudy dominant with a little amber and some clear turning milky. Jeremy samples a Bransons nug under the scope in the office sequence.
Discussed in: ep 037
Bransons (general line)
One of the two cannabis seed lines being pheno-hunted — could flower as short as 60 days, unknown
Discussed in: ep 017
BuildASoil 12-species cover crop blend
The twelve-species blend tilled into the no-till earth box and still visible decomposing into soil on camera.
Discussed in: ep 002
Camelina
Oilseed source for camelina seed meal in craft blend.
Discussed in: ep 029
Cannabis (4 plants for the 3x3 bed)
The destination for this 70 gallons of soil is a 3x3 planter that will hold 4 cannabis plants in the 10x10 tent once the females are sexed from the previous episode's transplanting.
Discussed in: ep 003
Cannabis (autoflower, living soil)
Discussed in the Take-and-Bake question; runs in 4-5 gallon pots and flips on its own clock
Discussed in: ep 005
Cannabis (flowering, day 34)
Primary flowering crop across all quadrants.
Discussed in: ep 029
cannabis (general)
Entire episode is about cannabis cultivation — no specific cultivar named
Discussed in: ep 008
Cannabis (photoperiod, no-till living soil)
The main crop in the 10x10 tent; current plants include males that Jeremy will remove before flowering
Discussed in: ep 005
Cannabis (quadrant 1 left — 3.0 recycled)
Darker, more odor, more worms, more food — the recycled 3.0 soil with cover crop, Craft Blend and worm castings
Discussed in: ep 031
Cannabis (quadrant 1 right — Take-and-Bake)
Lighter colored, frostier, finishing faster because it had fewer nutrients — the Take-and-Bake mix plant
Discussed in: ep 031
Cannabis (quadrant 2 Earthbox)
Jeremy's favorite side — flowers getting frosty and greasy, one branch falling from weight, expected to go 70+ days
Discussed in: ep 031
Cannabis (quadrant 3 overwatered keeper)
Was the overwatered problem child earlier — now looks the most beautiful with resin rails, strong potential keeper candidate
Discussed in: ep 031
cannabis (unspecified cultivar) — Quadrant 1 earth box plant
Running in the no-till earth box on its second cycle, 48 hours into flower
Discussed in: ep 018
Cannabis females (quadrant 1)
Two females going into each of the two EarthBoxes in quadrant 1
Discussed in: ep 006
Cannabis females (quadrant 2)
Four females destined for the 3x3 Grassroots bed in quadrant 2 once sex ID is confirmed
Discussed in: ep 006
Cannabis seedlings (undetermined sex)
Side branches popping, number of leaflets climbing — all starting to show sex now, which will dictate the rest of the plan
Discussed in: ep 006
Cannabis seedlings (unnamed cultivars at this stage)
Jeremy shows healthy seedlings in a carrier tray that he is about to transplant to one-gallon pots and sex before placing them into the no-till bed and the 10-gallon comparison containers.
Discussed in: ep 001
cannabis — Quadrant 2 3x3 plants
One plant showing intense jagged leaf edge and slight roll from calcium foliar sensitivity
Discussed in: ep 018
cannabis — Quadrant 3 defoliated plant
Heavily defoliated; already popping new growth from every rip site
Discussed in: ep 018
cannabis — Quadrant 3 overwatered plant
Full 180 recovery after basic worm casting tea and 4–5 days of no water
Discussed in: ep 018
Carolina Reaper pepper
Jeremy plans to germinate Carolina Reaper seeds in quadrant four — he has never grown a pepper that hot and notes that world's-hottest pepper growers are into gardening the way world-record pumpkin growers are.
Discussed in: ep 012
Carolina Reaper Red
Hottest pepper variety Jeremy is starting late for the next cycle because they take forever to grow.
Discussed in: ep 029
Carolina Reaper Red pepper
Hot pepper variety Jeremy finally pops in this episode — 7–12 day germination and slow to establish after.
Discussed in: ep 030
Carrot
Slower to germinate than lettuce or radish — Jeremy mists daily to maintain top-layer moisture.
Discussed in: ep 033, ep 035
Carrot (two colours)
Two colours of carrot planted on the other half of the Quadrant 4 lettuce bed — a deep-enough container for proper root development.
Discussed in: ep 029
Carrots
Sown in the other side of the Earthbox alongside the lettuce
Discussed in: ep 031, ep 037
Chem D
Used as the clone-of-a-clone reference — been around over 20 years, some 90s growers say it's lost a little.
Discussed in: ep 025, ep 027, ep 028, ep 035, ep 041
Cherokee Purple
One of Jeremy's favorite heirloom tomato varieties
Discussed in: ep 005
Cherry tomato
Mentioned as contrast — cherry tomatoes almost never get blossom end rot in small containers, unlike full-size tomatoes
Discussed in: ep 014, ep 028, ep 035
Cherry tomato 'The Bombs'
Cherry tomato variety on the seed-starting rack looking really good this year
Discussed in: ep 006
Cherry tomato (current tomato plant with colour change)
Jeremy notes one of the tomatoes already in the tent is starting to colour up — used as motivation for adding cherries for faster edible fruit.
Discussed in: ep 030
Cherry tomatoes
Planned for next 10x10 round because indoor-grown cherry tomatoes yield in the hundreds rather than a few larger tomatoes — better return for the space.
Discussed in: ep 037
Chia seed
Mentioned by Jeremy via Coots as another natural gel base that can be used to make a DIY cloning gel.
Discussed in: ep 021
Claytonia
Miner's lettuce grown alongside kale in quadrant four; Jeremy wants to pull kale leaves so it does not shade the claytonia.
Discussed in: ep 002, ep 006
Claytonia (miner's lettuce)
Growing under the kale in quadrant four as a living mulch; the kale is blocking some of its light but that's fine
Discussed in: ep 010
clone (unspecified cultivar)
Jeremy uses 'transplanting a little clone into a 10-gallon container' as the worked example for the post-transplant watering protocol
Discussed in: ep 008
Clover
Still looking really nice in the quadrant four companion bed.
Discussed in: ep 026, ep 030
Coffee (fair trade organic)
Ross Farms fair trade organic coffee is sold in the BuildASoil retail shop
Discussed in: ep 027
Corn
Analogy for enzyme-driven growth — Jeremy says corn can jump two feet in July because it's an enzyme-based process, explaining why warm water keeps the transplant drench biologically active
Discussed in: ep 010
Corn (blue, popcorn, organic)
Sprouted corn is an ingredient in gnarly barley. Jeremy also uses whole-kernel organic corn in his Easy Sprouter to make fresh sprouted seed tea. Corn is favoured because it's fat and juicy and because zeatin was discovered in corn.
Discussed in: ep 029
Corn sprouts
Planned for next episode — Easy Sprout corn for eating and SST.
Discussed in: ep 030
Cover crop (bed mulch layer)
Sown beneath the straw mulch in the previous episode; Jeremy sees it popping up beneath the straw.
Discussed in: ep 009
Cover crop (EarthBox, unspecified mix)
The older EarthBox has had most of its cover crop consumed by worms and is turning into worm castings
Discussed in: ep 006
Cover crop (general)
Ran through the recycled-soil Earth Box alongside crackling to rebuild the bed before this grow
Discussed in: ep 014
Cover crop (generic — for soil recycling)
Jeremy ran cover crop through the 3.0 between cycles to recycle the soil — the 3.0 was absolutely loaded with nutrients as a result, making it even more fertile at the start of Season One than bag-new.
Discussed in: ep 041
cover crop (living mulch)
Cover crop is visibly coming up through the mulch layer in the 3x3 bed and was turned into the recycled Earth Box as part of recharge.
Discussed in: ep 011
Cover crop (mixed)
Growing out of the pepper and tomato Earthboxes — Jeremy will chop-and-drop it before top dressing. Also ran cover crop in the 3.0 recycled quadrant 1 box earlier in the cycle.
Discussed in: ep 031
Cover crop (multi-species)
Growing in the mulch layer of quadrant two and previously in the reused Earthbox. Chopped when about 4 to 6 inches tall and mixed with Craft Blend and Kashi Blend for soil regeneration.
Discussed in: ep 004
Cover crop (species unspecified)
Jeremy mentions that a cover crop was grown on the spent EarthBox and then chopped down, leaving residue to decompose with Kashi and Craft blend and mycelium building up underneath.
Discussed in: ep 001
cover crop (unnamed)
Grown in the earth box between cycles then chopped and dropped under compost
Discussed in: ep 018
Cover crop (unspecified mix)
A cover crop is still coming in under the cannabis canopy in quadrant two but is being slowed by the shade above. Jeremy also references cover crop already consumed into the recycled Earth Box.
Discussed in: ep 012
Cover crop (unspecified species)
Jeremy spots 'a little bit of cover crop growing up inside' one of the veg pots while taking clones — visible and living inside the cloth container.
Discussed in: ep 015
Cucumber
Germinating in BuildASoil Light trays on the tent racks — just starting to pop at the time of recording.
Discussed in: ep 004, ep 009, ep 011, ep 012, ep 022
Cypress (cultivar)
AJ says 'these cypresses are killing it' and would love to wash some of them — praised for high resin production under LED.
Discussed in: ep 025
Dogfish (source for liquid fish)
Organic Gem's single-source fish — bony and fatty, highest bang-for-buck P content
Discussed in: ep 017
earthworms (native worm population)
Fast-moving worms visible in the recycled Earthbox soil — a payoff of going no-till, worm population builds between cycles
Discussed in: ep 019
Easter Egg II radish
Johnny's Selected Seeds multi-colour radish — sown around the cut-back kale to interplant a 30-day crop alongside a longer one.
Discussed in: ep 030
Easter Egg II round radish
Red-and-white radish from Johnny's planted in a ring around the kale.
Discussed in: ep 029
Five Star Greenhouse lettuce mix
Mixed lettuce blend sown densely in the front half of quadrant four for cut-and-come-again harvest.
Discussed in: ep 030
Full-Sized Tomato (Heirloom with grooves)
Indoor tomato in 3-gallon container has flower drop and bottom-end rot from watering inconsistency. Fruit shows notches and grooves but isn't ripping (too early) — it got bottom-end rot instead. Jeremy will chop it.
Discussed in: ep 028
Fungus gnat
Jeremy sees a stray gnat under the cover and says a single fungus gnat isn't worth killing your plant over.
Discussed in: ep 030
fungus gnats (pest reference)
Target pest that beneficial nematodes and predator mites control; Jeremy admits a few show up in unsterilised BuildASoil compost but calls them a manageable nuisance
Discussed in: ep 019
Generic cover crop mix (grown in Earth Box)
The recycled Earth Box had a full cover crop run over 12 inches tall before it was chopped and left to break down into the soil
Discussed in: ep 010
GMO
Referenced as an example of an 85-day flower variety that needs at least three top dresses across a cycle
Discussed in: ep 027, ep 035
GMO (Chem Cookies / Garlic Cookies)
Referenced as the standard for pungent garlic-fuel-funk flavour — Jeremy says Branson's #5 has GMO-like funk even though the genetics are Branson's Royal Revenge.
Discussed in: ep 041
GMO (reference lineage)
Referenced as a flavor benchmark — Jeremy says Branson's Royal Revenge has 'something else deeper' beyond just the GMO funk.
Discussed in: ep 042
Gourmet mushrooms
Jeremy says BuildASoil has a separate 4x4 tent for demonstrating gourmet mushroom growing products made by top-shelf local growers, whose CO2 will be ducted into the 10x10.
Discussed in: ep 002
Halitosis
A motor breath cross Jeremy is growing in quadrant two. Shown as a healthy young plant with nine leaflets, good turgor, and fresh white roots coming out the bottom of the container.
Discussed in: ep 004, ep 010, ep 011, ep 012, ep 014, ep 015
Halitosis #1
One of Jeremy's 1-gallon seed-run keepers, previously called number two — singled out as particularly healthy
Discussed in: ep 007
halitosis #1 (female-marked)
Specifically tagged as 'marked female' — shown with Kashi mycelium underneath the mulch layer.
Discussed in: ep 011
Halitosis #2
Ambiguous seedling — Jeremy thinks he sees a white hair but no clear underlying shape, and moving up and down the plant yields no clarity. Left as a maybe for Monday.
Discussed in: ep 009, ep 025
Halitosis #4
The other headline cultivar in the dry tent — hanging on hangers. Jeremy says it is 'really loud' in smell, with beautiful veg height and fall colors, and references the prior harvest video in which he picked whole plants up with the plant attached to the hanger.
Discussed in: ep 040
halitosis (cannabis cultivar)
The two test plants in the Earthbox containers where Jeremy applies predator mites — one in fresh BuildASoil 3.0, one in recycled no-till soil
Discussed in: ep 019
Halitosis (Covert Genetics)
Bred by Covert Genetics, based on the Chem D x I-95 cross lineage. Four numbered phenos in Season One (#1, #2, #4, #8). Yields ranged from 4 oz 8 g (#4 in the 3.0) to 8 oz 3 g (#2). #8 at 7 oz 19 g is the current frontrunner — fuel-forward headband-adjacent hidden citrus. #2 is the very close runner-up with heavy gluey grease factor.
Discussed in: ep 041
Halitosis (general)
AJ contrasts the Halitosis phenos with Branson's Royal Revenge, calling the Halitosis stretchier and less leafy.
Discussed in: ep 025
Halitosis number 1
Quadrant 1 cultivar in the recycled earth box (second no-till cycle). Side branches went up faster than the main stem and it's running very bushy.
Discussed in: ep 020, ep 035
Halitosis number 12
Quadrant three plant — fastest finisher in the room. Chunky noduling calyxes, alien-cush look, getting more purple. Dense buds. One single nanner found on this plant — only hermie trait in the whole room.
Discussed in: ep 035
Halitosis number 2
The back Halitosis that is dominating all the other plants — Jeremy notes it as the keeper to clone. Described as the biggest stretcher.
Discussed in: ep 020, ep 021, ep 035
Halitosis number 4
Halitosis phenotype with a very thick stock (thicker than Jeremy's thumb) in the brand new 3.0 earth box.
Discussed in: ep 020, ep 035
Halitosis number 8
Front plant in the three-by-three quadrant. Stacking really well. Strongest-smelling plant so far — 'coating my nostrils' with fueliness. Some light-burned leaves near the light.
Discussed in: ep 035
Headband
Reference profile for the sweet-on-fuel smoke taste Jeremy predicts for Halitosis — 'i get this like head bandy sweetie fuel taste to it.'
Discussed in: ep 035, ep 041
heirloom tomato
Full-size heirloom tomato in 3-gallon pot — struggling because the container is too small. Jeremy pulled most of the fruit to let it push new flowers
Discussed in: ep 018
Heirloom tomato (large, full-size)
The ambitious Quadrant 4 tomato in a 3-gallon pot that developed blossom end rot from inconsistent watering — Jeremy is triaging it with liquid fish and flower pruning rather than up-potting.
Discussed in: ep 029
Heirloom tomatoes (classic sweeter types)
General category Jeremy prefers in tomatoes
Discussed in: ep 005
Hemp (industrial fiber varieties)
Referenced to illustrate the dichotomy between fiber-strong, bamboo-like genetics and resin-heavy weaker-stemmed genetics in breeding
Discussed in: ep 022
Hemp seed
Ingredient in gnarly barley — being replaced with sprouted lentil because viable hemp can germinate in the mulch and drop pollen.
Discussed in: ep 029
Holy basil (tulsi)
Herb Jeremy plans to plant in quadrant 4 as a companion/family crop
Discussed in: ep 007, ep 014, ep 033
hot chilli pepper
Traditional homemade ingredient used in DIY IPM concoctions
Discussed in: ep 018
Hot pepper
Starts ready to transplant to the greenhouse; Jeremy plans to start more hot peppers in quadrant four once the Cypress 4 rail-light is mounted
Discussed in: ep 014
Hot peppers
Not yet germinated — expected in another 3–5 days. Also a fruiting mature pepper plant being harvested and top dressed with Cowoco + Craft Blend
Discussed in: ep 031, ep 033
I-95
The other half of the Chem D x I-95 cross that underpins Halitosis, cited as a killer fuel cross in Covert Genetics' lineup.
Discussed in: ep 041
Jericho lettuce
Jeremy says the Jericho lettuce heads currently sitting in Quadrant 1 will be moved to the food-growing Quadrant 4 before the EarthBoxes go in.
Discussed in: ep 001, ep 006
Kale
Jeremy points out some kale in the indoor food quadrant as part of the everyday salad harvest.
Discussed in: ep 001, ep 002, ep 004, ep 006, ep 007, ep 010
Karanja
Source of karanja meal in Craft Blend.
Discussed in: ep 015, ep 029
Kelp
Named as a natural source of rooting hormones, specifically kelp meal and kelp extract.
Discussed in: ep 021
Leafy salad greens
In quadrant four, starting to flower and bolt — AJ says you can probably get another harvest off them before the cycle ends.
Discussed in: ep 025
Lentil
Sprouted lentil is the planned replacement for sprouted hemp in the new gnarly barley recipe.
Discussed in: ep 029
Lettuce
Lettuce grown in a quadrant four earth box that went from tiny seeds to full lettuce heads in fourteen days with only two reservoir refills.
Discussed in: ep 002, ep 004, ep 007, ep 009, ep 010, ep 011
Lettuce (5 Star Greenhouse mix)
Replacement lettuce going into half of the Quadrant 4 bed for Jeremy's lunches.
Discussed in: ep 029
Lettuce (household bed)
Fully regrew after an aggressive thinning in under two weeks — vivid color, continuously harvestable by trim-around method
Discussed in: ep 014
Long Valley
Referenced as a known genetics lineage inside branson's royal that brings the purple color and the fuel punch.
Discussed in: ep 028, ep 035
Long Valley (cross)
More of an outdoor genetic — Long Valley crosses can behave weird indoor
Discussed in: ep 017
Long Valley (parent genetics)
Referenced as a parent in the Branson's Royal Revenge lineage that 'has tricked me in the past' with ambiguous pre-flowers.
Discussed in: ep 009
Long Valley (parent line)
Parent line of the Branson's Row Revenge cross
Discussed in: ep 007
Long Valley Royal Kush
Parent line inside Branson's Royal Revenge — described as outdoor-preferring, finishes extremely fast (mid to end of September), tries to flip if planted too early outdoors
Discussed in: ep 027, ep 041
Los Olly
Overwatered in Quadrant 4 early on but recovered and became one of Jeremy's favourites.
Discussed in: ep 033
Mac Stomper
Previous cycle plant harvested out of the Quadrant 1 earth box before the current grow
Discussed in: ep 018
Max Stomper
Jeremy says they grew the Max Stomper in the used EarthBox during the last round, and that box is now being regenerated with cover crop for reuse.
Discussed in: ep 001, ep 004, ep 010
Microgreens (planned)
Jeremy plans to show how to grow various microgreens on the seedling rack once the tent is more stable.
Discussed in: ep 002
Milan Nantes carrot
Second carrot variety from a local provider — Jeremy likes organic and locally grown seed.
Discussed in: ep 030
Miner's lettuce
Jeremy notes some miner's lettuce is struggling because it is a cold-weather crop and the tent is too warm for it, so he may change it out.
Discussed in: ep 001
mixed greens (over-seeded)
Salad greens tray was over-seeded, creating long stretchy vines as plants compete.
Discussed in: ep 011
Mixed lettuce
Sown densely in Quadrant 4 under the kale for cut-and-come-again mixed salad leaves.
Discussed in: ep 033
Motor Breath
Referenced as the parent of the Halitosis cross currently in quadrant two.
Discussed in: ep 004
Mung bean
Suggested grocery-store alternative sprout — Jeremy ate mung bean sprouts on tacos the night before filming.
Discussed in: ep 033
Mushroom blend (10 varieties)
Organic Vitality 10-way mushroom blend added to the compost tea for fungal dominance
Discussed in: ep 017
mushroom log
Sample mushroom log that gave two flushes before dying out — to be released as a BuildASoil product soon
Discussed in: ep 018
Mushroom log (unspecified species)
A log in quadrant two that has already produced one flush of mushrooms. Jeremy plans to soak it to trigger another flush.
Discussed in: ep 012
Mushrooms
Will be grown in a 4x4 tent using new BuildASoil mushroom growing kits and ducted into the 10x10 room for CO2 enrichment
Discussed in: ep 022
Mushrooms (log-grown)
The decomposing log in the bed has already flushed its mushrooms. Jeremy isn't sure whether he'll break up the log or leave it when the second scrog layer goes in.
Discussed in: ep 020
Mushrooms (mushroom tent)
Floated as a future deep-rabbit-hole project potentially funded by the YouTube membership tier — may not be 'as dialed' as desired because heat in the tent is better suited to winter.
Discussed in: ep 042
Mushrooms (on spent block mulch)
Visible mushrooms still growing out of the pasteurized spent straw block as Jeremy breaks it apart for mulch; he notes some growers keep and fruit them
Discussed in: ep 007
mycelium (from gro-kashi)
White mycelium visible growing on the mulch surface directly under the Kashi top-dress — proof the biological activation is working.
Discussed in: ep 011
Mycelium (oyster/other white mycelium)
Jeremy expects mycelium to bloom out visibly on the EarthBox top dress after feeding — though it may be less visible due to the mounded top.
Discussed in: ep 029
neem tree
Source of cold-pressed neem oil wild harvested from India
Discussed in: ep 018
Number 12 (pheno)
Naturally bushy mom plant with great structure, colour, and odour. Jeremy's top clone candidate alongside Los Olly.
Discussed in: ep 033
Number 2 (Halitosis pheno)
Back-left Quadrant 2 pheno that tried to dominate the entire time and was a close second or third in the final pick — 'really close second or third, I mean it's nice'.
Discussed in: ep 042
Number 2 (unnamed cultivar)
A second cannabis cultivar Jeremy shows in quadrant two alongside the Halitosis, referred to simply as 'the number two.'
Discussed in: ep 004
Number 8 (Halitosis pheno)
The chosen Season 1 winner. Dominated from the front of the bed despite being out-competed by Number 2 on veg height. Has one of the most complex odors. Still leading after multiple jar smokes.
Discussed in: ep 042
parasitic (predatory) wasps
Mentioned as a beneficial Jeremy uses in the insect-screened greenhouse but not in the indoor 10x10
Discussed in: ep 019
Pepper
Germinating in BuildASoil Light trays on the tent racks; peppers take longer to germinate than tomatoes. A mature pepper plant is also finally starting to grow in quadrant four — Jeremy plans to increase light on it.
Discussed in: ep 004, ep 011, ep 022, ep 028, ep 033

Producing heavy fruit in a 3-gallon container — 'even if the plant gets ugly' peppers still produce, unlike the more finicky tomatoes
Discussed in: ep 014
pepper (producing plant)
Established pepper plant in quadrant four. Haggard and root bound but still producing — six or seven peppers pulled recently with more still on the plant.
Discussed in: ep 035

Discussed in: ep 002, ep 004, ep 007, ep 011, ep 020, ep 022
Tomato (full-size, unspecified cultivar)
Growing in 3-gallon containers outside the main grow — two fruits already pulled for blossom end rot caused by inconsistent watering
Discussed in: ep 014
Tomato (large)
Previously grown in 3 gallon container, produced fruit with some bottom end rot pre-top-dress, cleaner post-top-dress. Grew up to the tent roof — needed more soil.
Discussed in: ep 033
Tomato (quadrant 4 food jungle)
Producing flowers indoors, Jeremy says he'll show how to hand-pollinate because indoor plants won't always pollinate on their own
Discussed in: ep 006
tomato (slicing variety)
Current crop in quadrant four. One plant being pulled for blossom end rot. Small container, infrequent waterings triggered the rot. Corrected on remaining plants with coco + Craft Blend top-dress.
Discussed in: ep 035
Tomato (unnamed greenhouse variety)
Multiple tomatoes being transplanted in the greenhouse now that soil temperatures are above 50 F; others are still in quadrant four of the tent waiting to move out. One greenhouse tomato is starting to set fruit from its first open flowers.

Tomatoes in quadrant four are still looking really good alongside the peppers.
Discussed in: ep 024, ep 026, ep 027, ep 037
Tomatoes (cherry and larger)
Struggling in a 10 gallon container — damping-off earlier, may up-pot or move outdoors
Discussed in: ep 017
Tomatoes (greenhouse)
Reference point for the trellis technique Jeremy plans to use in quadrant four — the greenhouse tomatoes are trellised up to the roof with rollers
Discussed in: ep 010
Tomatoes (unspecified greenhouse varieties)
Different tomato varieties being started for the family farm greenhouse — looking really good this year
Discussed in: ep 006
Triple-node unnamed phenotype
One of the seed-run plants has been triple at every node since day one while all others are double — flagged as unique
Discussed in: ep 007

Living cover crop in Quadrant 4 that Jeremy plans to chop-and-drop during the radish plant-out.
Discussed in: ep 029
White clover (cover crop)
Recommended as an alternative to straw mulch to cover the quadrant four bed after the top-and-drop
Discussed in: ep 027
White dutch clover
Pelleted single-species cover crop sprinkled on top of every one-gallon because it stays small and low and does not compete with the main plant.
Discussed in: ep 002, ep 007, ep 010
White dutch clover (cover crop)
Flowering beautifully in quadrant four — great for nitrogen fixation, keeping roots in the ground, and aesthetically pleasing blooms.
Discussed in: ep 025
