    Got pulled over for driving in the middle of the road, explained Bugby's theory and the cop gave me a hi5 and let me off without a warning.

    I have ADHD and this was the most watchable video in a long time for me lol. No clicking away, no skipping, just sucking up the information of this wise hero. Thanks for recording & uploading! :)

    Bruce has a cannabis class at USU that's open to the public. If you're a serious grower it will be the best $1200 you've ever spent
  • @CrazyLaurel
    One of the best Bruce Bugbee chats in a very long time.

    Everytime I watch a video with dr bugbee I've never seen before, I learn something new!
  • @EWT423
    I love to listen to professionals like Bruce. There is no useless information, so it never feels like wasting time.
  • @regularSenseAppeal
    The WUE discussion is incredible interesting and explains why there are so many differing recommendations on EC. It makes total sense. How to dial in EC based on WUE is something we should take much more seriously.
