I was told once that if you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room. Cheers love the channel
My last grow was a 15 gallon pot and it was by far the most productive and the easiest grow I’ve ever done. My next grow it’s going to be a 30 gallon . Everything came out so good that it looked like it was done by a professional, even though I am not
I've gone from a clone into a 12 gals , progressively watered more and more obviously . My logic was that your soil is only light and airy once , and thats when its still dry and never compacted . There is a fine line between making the roots search and them giving up looking , so I watered further and further outwards away from the center to insure the plant was being rewarded for searching .. Worked great grew some monsters , by mid flower I was watering 2 gal every 2 days or less
Watering explained by Mr. Kushman. This is luxury.
I REALLY MISS SUB RIP BROTHER. RESPECT FOR KYLE AND HIS INPUTS TO THE WEEDNERD COALITION
subby wouldn't even deal with adam/kyle at the end because of all of the bullshit with wanting screen shots of peoples bank accounts . . . the thieving bastard stole from me too
@jamesladd977 right the bowling alley
seemed sketchy as fk but my oppion don't mean jack. He was getting bent from all directions
14:52 - “the only time the water gets down into uh uh … the center of a pot is when you water”. Deep thought.
⛈ Typical I’m watching this one year later in England and it’s raining keep up the good work
Thanks for the knowledge, and remembering Sub Cool, Sadly I remember 1999 …hard to believe that it was a quarter of a century ago….and now I feel old
R.I.P. 🙏❣️To all those who have passed, that has brought us to here.
🤜🌟🤛🪴🪴🪴
Back in the 80s I had one sprout on passenger side of floorboard
Kyle you the best. I’ve been running Vegamatrix since 2018 and following you like the weed Jesus you are. Going to make the organics alive switch when I run out. Thanks for all the helpful tips you didn’t need a guest for this one you had it quite covered!
I know you didn't have a guest but I still enjoyed the show. Most of your pod cast I've seen it was only you. You're actually the person I originally learn to grow with once my state went legal because honestly I couldn't stand canuks voice. Thanks man. And let me get a strawberry cough cut please.
Earth boxes in tents, 65 outdoors in full sun, 30 in my mixed light greenhouse. Organic can be done in many ways.
Lots of really great information ! I always hated growing in small pots because I hate watering all the time . Even with my micro dwarf tomatoes I will plant them in something no smaller than 5 gallons . As I got older I really enjoyed my Back to Eden style of gardening . After several years it's plant it and forget it until harvest . Thanks for sharing and have a great day !
It's funny how when you said you weren't going to smoke at the beginning of the show, my first reaction was to think of Subcool , "time to get high with the weed nerds". Come on man we all smoked with Sub at the beginning of each show. Great to see how you honored his memory . Miss just hanging out and smoking with Sub, so many channels have become classroom like information based rather than relationship based, just hanging out smoking, learning ,and meeting new friends. Glad I felt those old vibes in this show today.,
It would be rad if Kyle gave us some outdoor growing tips……hint hint Kyle🙏
Growmie!
Next week I'm interviewing Swami. Outdoor GURU...👊🏼💚👊🏼
@@KKushman No way! I’m there. That’s going to be a rad interview.
Man I stopped growing I grew twice in my early twenties and I loved it listening to you talk about soil gave me a lot of SATISFACTION! And thinking about pooping some seeds tomorrow
Poop those seeds!
That's a new method of germination lol
Este video me ayudó mucho. I am in my 3rd batch in my little tent and these helps me a lot !!
Pot size is everything, especially for the new grower. It's all related. Pot size relates to plant count (as mentioned), over watering, too much light and nutrients. The plants canopy should be bigger (around) than the circumference of the pot they are in. If you can't push your plants together to form a single canopy, then you're growing dirt and your plant will get too much light. The plants, pushed together as a single canopy, will protect themselves from the light when grown as a single canopy. If each plant is an island in the middle of a sea of dirt, it's every plant for itself. Would you have just that plant under the amount of light you have? If you have small plants in a big pots, imagine those same plants in the appropriate sized pots where you could push the plants together to form a canopy, you would then have to re-evaluate the light because you're taking up less of a foot print and therefore you have less space (Square footage) to light up. You could be using a smaller light to light the canopy instead of a larger light to light up the dirt and cover the space. Feeding, consider this when watering your big pot. Imagine two same sized plants. One plant is in a 1 gallon pot and the other plant is in a 3 gallon pot. You water the 1 gallon pot with 1L of water at 300ppm. Then you water the 3 gallon pot with 3L of water. Are you going to water the 3 gallon pot with 300ppm? Remember it's the same sized plant in both pots. If you water the 3 gallon pot with 3L of water at 300ppm, you just watered the 3 gallon pot with 3x the amount of nutrients then you did in the 1 gallon, for the same sized plant. Volume. It takes 3 times the amount of nutes to get 3 L of water to 300ppm than it does to get 1 L of water to 300ppm. You will have to feed the 3 gallon pot less often at this rate. Consider this when considering the frequency of feeding. FWWWF (Feed Water Water Water Feed). He does touch on a lot of the same points, but I don't know about when he says, "if my soil is hot in one place the roots will look elsewhere" like my mom avoiding spicy food. If the outside of the roots has more salt (ppm) than the inside of plant, the plant will reverse the flow of water from going into the roots to going out of the roots to equalize the ppm on both sides of the membrane. Reverse osmosis. Dehydrating your plant leading to tip burn. (side note: That is actually how the plant opens the stomata on the leaves. The plant will move potassium (k) into the area near the stomata increasing the ppm. Water then rushes in to equalize the ppm, and by doing so the gland fills with water, swells and the stomata opens) When it comes to frequency of watering you should have more dry days (non-watering) than wet (watering)days. If you water one day and have 3 days of none watering and then you water again, that's 2 wet days for 3 dry days. that's good. If you're watering every or every other day (because it actually needs to be watered, not because you want to), then it's time for a bigger pot or else risk overwatering and rotting the roots. The roots like air, not swampy conditions. A big pot with a small plant should be watered way less often, if you can control yourself lol If you're doing a SOG in 1 Gallon pots, it is what it is, you'll be watering everyday at some point. Nothing is absolute and experienced growers can work around these things, but it does give new growers a path to follow. GBA
Is it possible to grow small ones that would produce like a quarter oz per plant
My ideal would be if i could grow small ones but maybe faster than growing big plants a quicker turn over
@@petersmith2522 You are looking for the sea of green method (SOG). Small plants in small buckets, filling the space. The plants are vegged for a short period of time (a week or two..maybe less). Search out The Grow Boss and you will find the answers you are looking for.

Grew a wicked Strawberry Cough last season in a three gallon pot. She was a damn beauty too! First of it I ever grew, first of it I ever smoked. I wasn't disappointed in the least. She never had the first problem, actually thrived all the way through the fourteen week flower period. Amazing smoke! I saw this video come up in the feed, and just had to tell about it. That one plant has turned me into a Kushman fan. I'm gonna go roll a joint of that shit right now. Keep it up.
Many ways to grow love it. I have tried a few but love hydro in 3gals of coco and perlite. Water/feed everyday multiple times a day.
In my experience growing with a larger pot equals a larger plant at the end of the day. Because indoor artificial lighting drastically reduces in lumens beyond the canopy by the inch, growers tend to use 2 or 3 gallon pots with more plants. This reduces veg time and focuses growth on top canopy sites, eliminating most of the popcorn. With some inventive lighting, it is possible for large indoor plants to become monster yielders
Man… that’s got to be some good stuff you’re smoking. Great video, really enjoyed it. Thanks!
Brilliant yarn bro.
Nice relatable laugh about being nicer too.
Cheers, and big ups from down under.
Onya 👍
Really enjoy this channel. Thanks Kyle.
The master thank you for your growing advice very appreciated Pete the pot smoker lol
Kyle Kushman is always informative. Love it.
Fire content Kyle, thank you! My plants go CRAZY over your Chiropractic teks, much love brother ✌🏼
Yhh respect kushman rip subcool legend of the game respect brother love from the UK
SUCH GREAT INFO... GREAT CLASS!
Being a new indoor grower this was great information to help me along. Strawberry Cough 😮 yes have heard of it wouldn't mind giving it a go someday
Good chilling with you for a minute
Great job Kyle. Let’s get a live show going
We need the og Nate Pennington on would be some legendary convos between the two of you , also we need that hella jelly x strawberry cough collab that strawberry jelly would go crazy 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Dudel! I'm so proud of your channel and how fast you've grown up
Wow. This was extremely informative. Thank you Mr. Kushman
Good one! Loved the comments from behind the Camera about the rain 😂
Congrats on season 2!! 😎 I usually use 15 gallon size pots minimum, I went with 10 gallon this last grow and now I’m having to water everyday, it sucks! I would definitely stick with 15 gallon at the very least if growing bigger plants, 20+ is probably ideal if you do not want to hand water everyday. More roots= more fruits 😁 💯
Kyle people make those comments about us. Organic growers because they don't want to put the hard work in amending and building a good living soil and then mixing all that soil up and shoveling it into pots and then taking care of it like a little baby. They lack the motivation And no how., So they lash out at those that are doing it. I got your back, bro.
All they need is 2 piles, a compost pile and a tarp where you dump your old recycle soil and mix away. I'm working on about a year and a 1/2 of recycled soil it's amazing.
R.I.P Subcool weed nerds for life.🤙🏽
I'm running two plants in a 4x8 right now in two 30 gallon pots. Cranked my light up after transplanting,moved other plants out of the tent and the humidifier was struggling to keep up,you could see the original 5 gallon rootball dry out way faster than the rest of the soil in the pot. I been ramping up my waterings the last week because they have been drinking a, lot they are in week 9 of veg,and its the middle of winter and with my light cranked I'm pushing 84 degrees. I dimmed the light a little added an extra humidifier outside the tent,and water each pot about 3 1/2 gallons this time, with a little kelp meal. i just bent the plants under scog screen,so they are a bit stressed but they are putting off a lot of nice light colored new growth. Running 1 Black Jack ,and 1 Liberty Haze btw
Started a nevilles haze seed to follow this grow up and just direct sowed into the 30 gallon,its going wellmbut watering is a little finicky but its starting to get big and should start to drink more
same!! i use 12g love it!
Enjoy the way you explain stuff, hoo - rah
I'm learning to grow for the first time and I love your videos and the awesome work you do. I would like to share a tip for you about making the highest quality cannabis oil using a award winning system called The Med Extractor. It's one tenth the cost of the systems the commercial companies use, Made in Alberta Canada. it's a Co2 extractor and a very simple process and when you turn the tap open and the oil pours out the Co2 evaporates and you have chemical free oil of the highest quality. Award winning no shit. Take care and thanks as I don't want to grow hay lol Cheers from Alberta Canada
A question in a larger pot you have more room for a larger root network and more nutrients isn’t this an advantage? Also I love the contact from day to day a meditation
Perfect timing. Buying either a 2 or 3 gallon today
3 is way to small unless you veg for like 2 weeks. Roots are shooting out of my 3gallons but not 5s. I just bought 7s today though because I don’t think either are big enough..
@@KronosKronik A few harvest I did it in a 5 gallon and veg for 4 weeks..not including a 2 week seedling time. 10 week flower. and roots werent even close....im also in a 2x2 so having less water/humidity is a good thing for me....i dont mind watering daily. Im closely monitoring all parameters.
nice to see you again
respect man. keepin it old school.
I'm ready! The season is nor ready for me tho. I just finished up my 3rd batch of ROOT SALVE, got my grandma on it too!😅 kicks aspirinand tylenol right off the bus bro!😮 not a joke growmies, use the whole damn plant!😊
Your awesome person, would definitely be cool to have lunch with you and learn more about the medicine
I wish youd gavw some detail on age of plants to how you expect them to be or what size they get to
I always wondered what the air bubbles in the soil were called. Surfaction. Thanks for the vocab. Happy growing dude!
I have a designated Breeder Tester Project Tent. I found that 3 gallon pots with Grow Dots and Recharge works perfectly! I water in Water and Additives every other day. It’s super efficient.
What are Grow Dots? That's a new one for me.
It’s a bag of time released balls that are time released. It’s heavy on Nitrogen for the first 4-6 weeks then they transition to the higher PK as you transfer into flower.
It’s made by Scotty Real from Real growers. He’s the creator of Recharge that is amazing for your Microbes, Mychoriazza, kelp, bacteria, etc. The winners of numerous Cannabis Cups just used Grow Dots and Recharge!
It’s makes growing super easy with HUGE Returns!
@@413TomaccoRoadFor more information, just check out Real Growers for more information if you want to learn more. 🤜🤛
This is so cool to see you on video i use to see you in high time magazines for years! Strawberry Cough still one of my favorite strains ❤️
What if youre just too strong and the pot always feels light enough to be watered all the time 🤔😱
But yeah man big pots... I tried it this time....its magical... Smoking it rn
Muscle Memory...😎
great video still Kyle!!!!!!!! Needed this info
Ive been growing in the same 100gal pot for the last 4 runs. I'm gonna flower 12 in there for the next round lol😂.
Great show
Good growers minds think alike.
Nice ep. ser!!!
I find the fabric pots don't get as hot on the side where as the plastics actually burn roots and i can tell which side the sun hits when your repot, the side with the sun will have less roots where as the fabric pots are cooler and don't burn the roots.
Good point, I have been mindful of this potentially happening as I'm about to re-pot. Have you used the black fabric pots? I know they will be much cooler compared to a black plastic pot though I'm just struggling to find any fabric pots in a sun friendly tan colour for a decent price.
@@samsara2053 Go the green fabric pots, in winter u wanna retain some heat. Green is the most neutral imo
Thanks for that👍
i love the show .
Appreciate it brother
In the case of saturation in the oxygen I like to pour from at least 2 feet high so that the splashing and bubbling saturates maybe with the oxygen that gets incorporated as well as the nitrogen.
I’ve been growing indoors for 2 years now and I want to start a outdoor pheno hunt in the spring time. Some outdoor tips would be appreciated Mr.Kushman🙏🏽
I bottom water with fabric pots. Occasional top watering with amendments.
I strongly disagree bigger the pot the more forgiving as the larger soil amount buffers alot easier less watering also
You should get Mr grow it,and talk about his new Book.
Thanks
Have you ever used SIP (Sub irrigation Planters) OCTOPOTS?
Good stuff dude!
Kyle,
I’m hoping you will answer a FEEDING question for me .
I’m a total newbie( really ) and I grow in PRO MIX I amend the soil with worm castings 3:1 and then with Gaia green.
And then as I go I add other organic amendments.
Now I get laughed at when I share at the grow shop. They say “ im not EVEN pushing them at all. Just keeping them alive”.
Can you advise me on what is wrong with what I am doing and recommend what I should do please Sir ?
I would be honored
Ifv you're plants stay green, then you're good. If they yellow or fade early, you need more NPK...💚
Thanks man. I do appreciate you
big shout out from va!! I have a lot of your genetics going!! NL#10 is amazing!! I will have to get some of my content to you to check out Kyle fr fr I have been running mad gear from you homie and it all has been fire! love you bro! your a real role model homie
Love the content. Got a question. How do you feel about sub irrigated pots?
Never tried that one...DSFDF...😎
I use usually 12 1gal taller fabric pots and washed & buffered coco and jacks321 for doin phenohunts in a 4x2 n get good results or ill run 8 of the same clones in 8 taller 3gal fabric pots. Either way the results are weeeeed 🤘🏻💨🌱
When you strip a fan leaf and it has water coming out the bottom means the plant is drinking. I snipped a cutting that was dieing and the stem was hollow? Can you eleaborste further
Let em keep growing that synthetic pgr boof, organic is the only way to go
i run a 2x3 w 2 7 gallon all organic. its possible, but watering tolerances are tiiiight
Santa rosa has some great bud and hash little different from what we grow down here..
Would love some cuts Mr Kushman!
Your right bro! We have 2 ears and 1 mouth. We should talk half as much as we listen!
I run 3 gallon fabric pots because of limited height on my plants. I would love to run 10 or 15 gallons but I’ll never have plants tall enough to fill it with roots.
You could if you veg for say 8 weeks and top the plants and get a trellis / scrog net on the go to keep tucking the branches
16th season .....
Just WoW 😮
Let’s get something going
Minnesota has been called the California of the mid-west but now that cannabis is become fully available to the adult public it really doesnt feel like it comparatively all the taxes and supposed freedoms. but Ive already been accused of growing two much my first ever plant "bubba kush" looked like four plants apparently, at least that's what the cop that was sent to my house told me. that he was sent here without a warrant or anything and i was amenable and let him do his check which he agreed was as pointless as i said it would be, we laughed he left but i started thinking this all came from being happy and showing the wrong person my first plant that i was so happy of because top me it is my medication and my meditation. i feel like violated and without privacy as i struggle to establish a way to grow my own medication
I used to favour 4 inch pots and just fill the space...
There always has to be somebody plinking from the peanut gallery
Like they say, More Roots More Fruits!
The story with the guy and the roach 😂lmfao
Dirty Mike and the Boyz!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
I didnt water them for 4 Days in 8 gallon pots (2. week of flower). They looked like they are dead 💀. Only a few oures of watering 4 Liters they was full recovered. Do you think the buds will be smaler becouse of that under watering?
You just changed my gardening. Next will be plastic pots to see the difference
I use 3gal fabric pots in my tent
good episode bro... 💎
Tell your cameraman not to quit his day job the Stones don't need another singer😅 ❤
Yo this is awesome! Just started growing for extreme anxiety (>◕ω◕)> Thank you for the wealth of information!
Would love a podcast with Todd McCormick!
3-5 gallon pots you don’t need to water every day if u did it would cause root rot. Now in the first 2-4 weeks you usually do water every day but after that it’s every 2-3 days
@homegrown Co. Where do I get good strawberry cough seeds at? Thank you. Or if anybody in the comments know please tell me.
