Thanks to Kyle Kushman for coming onto the podcast today! Kyle Kushman’s channel- bit.ly/4csZ9kG Episode we did on his channel- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jOfeYoWU91s.html
Yeah man, i totally agree with his theory on topping to send energy outwards vs upwards. Vegetable farmer here, this theory applies to management of many vegetable crops. Once you learn how the plant utilizes energy, you can then manipulate how its energy is applied.
I’ve been using the Kushman chiropractic technique & I always get super strong plants with great yields!!! Mr.Grow It buddy you always bringing the best people on to share their experiences & knowledge!!! You’re awesome bro!!!
I have 2 strawberry cough in flower right now!! I ordered a 10 pack a few years ago from watching Kyle. I grew out a few and the buds were frosty dense and beautiful!
@GardenTaIkWithMrGrowlt i would love that i truly love learning and growing has become a true passion of mine and your show is always done with great professionalism and knowledge im an auto grower, and as anyone knows, you make a ton of mistakes so i watch and learn 😂
Yes, I’ve tried all of Kyle’s training techniques like the one where you denote all the way to the tip. It works works really good on plants that stretch on the Indica short plants you gotta leave the three nose. Otherwise you won’t have a big cola I do the kushman Chiropractic at least once to my plants and with silica sometimes I don’t even have the steak them. Thanks Kyle and leaving a skirt at the bottom of your plants like Mr. Grow it said that works great too. Thanks to both of You I had No one to talk to about growing indoors you guys taught me everything I know about indoors. Thanks so much.
OLD-SCHOOL GROWERS WE ALL SALUTE YOU. THOSE TECHNIQUES ARE SO ZEN TO GROWING AND IT'S ALOT PEOPLE OVERLOOK AND COMPENSATE WITH THE NEXT NUTRIENT ETC RATHER THAN THESE ORIGINAL LEARNED AND EARNED TECHNIQUE .THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WE ALL NEED TO BE LEARNING FROM.
That is an intelligent point. I make it a lot, probably because I am old school, being 58. I have been growing the way that I learned for 30 years. I learned from Ed Rosenthal, Mel Frank, Jorge Cervantes,.......I hate the term "bro science". The former mentioned are the "bros"! I don't know everything, but I also use modern methods. We old Dawgs rock this shit!
I have great respect for the OG’s that have paved the way for growing. Awesome content as always Chris I’ve been going through all your older content trying to learn and catch up in this amazing growing community!!
Thats a great treat to have Mr Kushman on the show. Lots of great tidbits on info on that one. VERY re-watchable. I'm in Vegas and only growing just under a year, but doing fairly well. First grow was 2x4 with five 5-gallon plants. Current and last grow, I've been using Octopots. Makes it easy. Plant seed in soil. Top-water once - ever. Fill reservoir from then on. Never transplant. Has dual root system with part hydro and part soil. Basically impossible to over or under water. Its so easy to get big plants with that one because it lets you focus on things other than constant watering, etc. Creates HUGE root systems. I wont leave link, but you should check them out. Makes growing so much easier. Takes roughly 2- 3 weeks for the roots from seed or cutting to reach soil, but when they do... BAM. Explosive growth. Taking a pound dry out of my 2x4 with 5 plants sucked and was a major headache, but I did it. Taking a pound of great quality stuff from my 2x4 with 2 octopots will be not too tough with the same 300+ watt light. Ive got two Octopot grows on Overgrow. Decent little Octopot community there.
That episode was just a joy to watch and listen to. Kyle has some deep knowledge and I received a lot from this episode. Chris I’ve listened to a lot of your work and want to say thank you for what you bring. Cheers mate.
That was a TOP NOTCH interview. Been growing for years and learned a ton of new methods to incorporate into my grow thanks guys......Peace from Maine Indoor...
"Gave me a sense of purpose" im not even technically in the industry and i fealt that one. Kushman is the mannn! Mr. Grow it youre up there too forsure!
I've been moving around and haven't been able to grow in over a year currently my tent is too big for my place again. So I want to start just a single plant grow maybe two. It's been awhile since I've been on, appreciate everything you do.
40:24 - THIS!!! Was a huge revelation when I started doing it. Cleans up the whole works and maximizes efficiency of the grow very nicely. Plus it makes cool photos! 👽✌️
Kushman is an absolute wealth of information and inspiration. Although he is at the top of the grower food chain, he remains down to earth and understandable to novice and experienced growers. I have learned a lot from his articles and content.
Your videos are awesome I'm documenting all my stuff with my indoor grow I haven't seen many videos where utilizing indoor grow of , LED lights, sodium halide and metal halide ,along with a couple other grow bulbs .. Tried looking up a few different videos on utilizing both lights but not much success in that area so I believe I might make my debut off of that..
Kyle is one of the top 3 guests you have ever had on anyone of your channels. By far one of the most influential and inspiring personalities you have had on your channels. Tommy Chong was great as well. Love the content chris! Keep it coming!
& for topping I always top at the third node!!! I find it’s perfect 👍 for the rest of the plant to catch up & you always start with a bushy plant 🪴 just my opinion!!!
When super cropping, it changes the Auxin, which is crucial in various plant growth processes. It promotes cell division and elongation, leading to an increase in plant length. Additionally, auxin influences root growth differently than stem growth by reducing cell growth in roots while promoting it in stems. Furthermore, auxin regulates vascular tissue differentiation and the development of buds and flowers.
Kyle is amazing!! learned all my plant training techniques watching this guy!! you have to add calcium as the coco breaks down; when calcium is depleted; nutrient lock out occurs.. add calcium to help break down the coco and keep nutrients moving. I grow in soil regenerative no till; and use a lot of coco. I do not grow in coco alone. I like super soil aka living soil. Pete has a ph a little to low for worms where coco has the perfect ph for worms.
@@picklepee2771 man, a lot of issues but I will be making it to harvest either this Monday or next Monday. I gotta check the trichomes again. I think I should've used a 7 gallon pot. I only went with a 5 gallon. Also, this was my second organic run ever and the soil was reused and re-ammended. I hit a pretty bad K deficiency mid flower. Worst possible time, I know. Leaves look like shit. Yield will definitely be affected. She ALSO didn't stretch like I wanted her to so I could fill the entire 2x4. But I got about 90% of the tent filled. Going back to coco with Gen Hydro trio and gonna just run 2 autos in 5 gallon pots. Mostly to not have to use so much power from the light because summers are hot af here. And for autos I can run the light at 50% and be golden.
37:15 - If you're using 5-Gal plastic buckets, a plastic ClothesPin grips the ridges around the top pretty good. I thread the string around a branch and through the hole in the clothespin spring and wrap the ends in opposite directions around the clothespin. I tie a bow knot (like for your shoes) in front, so I can readjust the strings downward pressure on the branch. Works great, and the whole thing is recyclable. 👽✌️
Mehhh..... no way joooosEeeee no wa ho0000se no plastic only phabricks n knot black color find tan sta wifff 3gal ma B 5gal i persinally sa 3gal final pot n my harvest r cannibas cup quality everytimes, and yes yur right resistance is resl guud the plant responds well to it
Shout out to both you guys, Mr.Growit & Kyle. I began my growing journey just over a year ago. Now im using rdwc. I have a question for both of you, and it would be great if yall could do a deep dive ont thr topic, but my question is this: What startegies or even cheats can a novice grower use or put into action to take to elevate their garden to kraft quality in an rdwc. Thanks again to both of you & the cannacontent creators
Great podcast. He's full of knowledge and i agree with most. It's important to remember genetics too. Some things are dependent on that But I'm happy to know my style is close to Kyles😅
He's right (at 20:00 or so). Topping early definitely produces lateral growth early. This round, that's what i did and holy cow. Just incredible. Of course i think You have to take into consideration the genetics. But as a general rule, I really don't think you need to wait till 5 or 6 nodes.
I remember back in the day growing out side I'd wait till the plant got about 4 foot tall then just tie it down tie a string near the top and bull it down to ad near as horizontal as I could get it with out breaking. Then in the fall I'd harvest the plant with 17 to 18 main colas awsome!!!!
😉. From a 🇨🇦 ol school gen X grower This guy and ed rosenthal taught me everything i know. This is well before that interweb thing. Lol. I started high times collection 🤷🏼♂️. 95-96 ish and had every issue till lol 🤷🏼♂️ 2005-8ish. All i know is its a huge stack I’ve carried around in all my journeys and ive went through em more than any porno 😂 Wow dude. 👊🏻. Just found your channel and after 2 ive seen. 🙌🏻 The ol school still survives Beat your braches They will love you X10 And always top them at the right time and make that perfect cut When u see 4tops pop out You will be adopting the new procedure for every top u see So impressed with the channel my friend. 👊🏻
Iv recently been looking at buying those red light add ons.I have a few different led,s but 1 of them makes my plants so much more resinous .The electric sky has 10-20 times more red diodes than my maxi bar light and my optic 8+,it even beats my sanlights for resin and its down to the amount of red diodes. Iv just done blueberry og side by side with the maxi and the optic and its a big difference.
I find that 3 nods is good and use the top 2 nods as main lines and the lower nods usually trained coming in up thru the middle produces good structure as well as solid main stalk. The topping cut produces a massive ball but if you top too close to the nod your keeping it splits the stalk as it grows emensely ... Keeping lower fan leaves to produce chlorophyll and build cell walls inside of the stalk to feed the main lines where you can top many times in veg to create more sites... I've done super cropping after topping and twisting and snapping the mains to send focus on healing and produces a larger feed line ... For every time to top / low stress train / high stress train allow 1 week to heal before next top / stress trained for growth ... Whereas fan leaves have needs to color of lighting as to growth 📈 chlorophyll/ photosynthesis/ and discrepancy of manipulation ... the absorbtion of light to leaves and their transparency. Nutrients on the other hand, 7.2-7.5 ph opens the passages in cell walls (capulary) to feeding ... Production of high potential for a specific time length ... I find that it's not the short term grow process ... Plants have a basic design to a growth pattern naturally vs using chemicals to fast grow ... Tensity of lighting ...
As for the topping subject I totally agree with him as to the one top is generally enough. I was a very large scale commercial grower in British Columbia for 20 plus years and damn was it amazing when I first got into it back around 1996/1997. Advanced Nutrients was not even yet created. I remember that the first brand of nutrients I used was a local brand called 6 weeks. Most of us growers bought off a big company called The Great Garden Supercenter in Abbotsford BC and it was like no other Hydro store out there. The shelves were like something you would see in a high end store like Louis Vuitton they were all fancy thick oak hardwood must have cost a fortune. Looked kind of funny with all the hydroponics gear on them but it was cool. Obviously the owners were dabbling in the growing themselves LOL. They would just give anyone that came in with a credit card at least 10k worth of store credit just as long as they could take a copy of your Visa. I think I was one of the only ones that actually paid them back because I guess something happened where they got busted for something and they had to shred all the paperwork with peoples info so most of my old buddies got their start out with free gear thanks to that business. I still remember the chick I think her name was Becky. She was so hot LOL. I must have spent a small fortune at that shop I still miss that place. Its funny the time it takes to learn this business. Most of us fell into the same trap LOL. When I look back at how we were I just give my head a shake and laugh. We immediately thought we would get 2 pounds a light off crop 1. As the first one was growing we would go to the local dealerships and pick out the new Ford Excursions we were gonna buy and lift them 12 inches with 44 inch tires. Oh how stupid we were. We made like every rookie mistake I swear I should write a book there are some funny stories. Doing our first hydro bypass. That was comical to say the least. Sitting cross legged on a stack of car tires cutting into the metal pole with the big main hydro wires inside it. Then we used to see those big water cooled A/C's. We were like what retard would waste so much power when you can just use a swamp cooler? We found out why eventually LOL. Shit we were too cheap to even buy a proper res. We just measured out 50 gallons in the bath tub with 5 gallon buckets and drew a big line on the tub. Then we had to find a guy to live upstairs. I dont think we could have picked a worse guy. We put this crackhead in there and I would go buy there on a Friday night to check on the place and its a full blown party upstairs LOL. Like wtf is wrong with this idiot. Then he would always be begging for an advance on his pay. I just told my partner we split after this crop comes down. I think we got like 11 pounds of B grade swag off a 16 light place. That was how I started. Years later I had over 500 lights and was pulling over 2 pounds a light of beautiful stuff but boy is it a learning curve. Anyways I kind of got off topic a bit. One reason why you would veg a long time and keep topping would be if you were limited on your plant count. Like in BC we are allowed 4 plants and if you veg them for months and keep topping you could pull like 10 pounds off 1 plant. My formula when I grew commercially that never fails to give over 2 per light is to veg the plants in 1 gallon pots. Pinch them once and let them grow a few more weeks then put them in 3 gallon and flip them to flower. 16 per 1000w light 4 plants wide 4 plants deep.
I have a 12" bonsai with 4 stalks getting cut and hung today.. I started growing in 12x30x36" tent lol So bonsai were my forte.. lol. Had to keep my grow small and hidden in those days😅
Going into my second outdoor grow. Been watching kyles videos but this dialogue helped me better understand my game plan for the year! Much appreciated. Just recently came across your channel last week and ive been tuned in!
I like to leave my solar panels on almost until the very very end definitely trim out everything in the middle even if I just cut the leaf in half and leave it without pulling it off
I usually incorporate early topping (like at 3 nodes), then I'll FIM those lateral branches, all while bending branches out. It almost feels like a living sculpture. I had no idea about that origin story to FIMing, thats hilarious.
I never understand his pinch underneath when bending so doesn't just rebound right back up in a min or maybe I just need to be a little more aggressive I twist as I bend to a 90 deg but when I'm twisting I'm pushing in towards the bend so it doesn't split .if I don't do it that way the bottom splits like ripping ass out pants .and I noticed when Kyle does it they don't split so is his pinch stopping that as well or is he twisting as I am ? Thanks love this stuff great stuuff
My thought is all the stressing of a plant with pinching and that sort of thing opening up the capillaries throughout the stock by breaking it for its water and all that to have better travel and pathways... well doesn't also the same thing happened when stressing it and it turns purple by restricting oxygen or light for long periods of time just before harvest.. to turn it purple, in other words what I'm getting at is the stressing of a plant,then can also acquire to the factor of its potency stressmeant of those lower leaves being reduced and taking longer is a stress to the plant, acquiring to a better quality of potency , what about stresses in the other areas 😮 Such as food intake stress of the route I've gotten into that part as well that's pretty cool see the different shoots in the way they work off of the plant and what they do for each additional part of the plant the way they work along the line the main additional shooters the water pass in uptakes and also the nutrient uptake Roots there's a difference and also air intake Roots I love that and I just get into the in-depth and I've played with a lot of different things including frequency through the vibration of magnetic field lights different wavelengths frequencies as well different pulse rates and sound as well
