Thanks to Kyle Kushman for coming onto the podcast today! Kyle Kushman’s channel- bit.ly/4csZ9kG Episode we did on his channel- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLWWmLygvLudYac.html

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible, I appreciate this content.

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.

Write the book Kyle!! If not a big piece of cannabis history is going to be lost, I'll buy the book, and so will lots of others I'm sure!

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!!!

Kyle thanks brother for all the love and knowledge you have given the community 👍🏾

Crazy. Im smoking on strawberry cough as i write this out. Crazy Kyle is your guest today. Cheers Growmies 🔥 thank you Chris and Kyle ✌🏼

I remembet watching a video from Kyle about how to supercrop plants, its one of my tricks I do EVERY grow.

2 legends 1 show....LETS GO!!!

Love Kyle, he is a true advocate and the original OG for all cannibis peeps Such a great show

"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!

we only get 3 plants in Germany so training methods are mandatory to get enough out of your plants.

Absolute legend on the show! I've learned so much from Kyle over the years. Much appreciated 🙏

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.

Wow , what an Episode .... An absolute Master & an absolute Pro ❤ Greetings from Germany, we make it too . Happy Growing 💚

Great episode! Great guy with a lot of old knowledge. I appreciate that! Been fascinated since the early 90s myself.

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.

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.

😉. 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. 👊🏻.

Best episode ever much needed info thanks mr. Grow it and kyle

Great Guy and a great interview! Thanks for another awesome podcast. Thanks for the knowledge

Another Great Growing Techniques Video. Thanks Chris and Kyle for dropping all of this knowledge! Thanks Guys! I Can't wait for the nest one!

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.

Excellent video!!! Thank you Chris & Kyle! 👍

Learned a Lot. Thanks so much for sharing, guys. Grow your own. 🤙🤙

This is the only channel I need!! Subscribe all the way

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! 👽✌️

Love Kyle’s pod cast. Thanks for sharing guys!

& 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!!!

@mrgrowit great episode! I loved hearing Kyle being interviewed instead of the other way around. What a wealth of knowledge!!

I love this channel! Keep these educational videos coming! 👊🏽 Thank you!

You did it!!!! Yup I’m that old. Kyle Kushman baby! Thanks Erick

This podcast just took me to the next level! Answered so many questions!!!

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...

Thank you both for sharing, great information as always!

Brilliant conment of leaving the larger fan leaves on when taking on the lower branches. I have tried this my last grow and had great results

Watching from Germany.Great episode. Big shout out to Mr grow it and Kushman

Awesome colab! So much value 👍✨

Thank you both for the terrific tips, Kyles knowledge is 🔥 🔥🔥

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.

My two favorite growers

Man, I have been wondering g when you'd get the Kush man lol. Awesome.

Great episode! Love you bring in Legends!

I was waiting for this eppy cheers to both kyle and Chris!

Damn you got Kushman on.. that's awesome. Keep up the good work dude.

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😅

I've learned more intricacies from you than anyone on yt. And thats actually saying something. Nothing but respect

Two of my favourites! Awesome!

Awesome episode! Two legends in the game

Love this podcast. Lots of great info.

Woah this video had a bunch of stunner tips!

Great guest great interview. Nice job, Chris.

Homegrown to the bone ! Read many HT articles from Kyle and always have used his insights to improve my own products

Hi I been follow your videos and most Inteviews of Kyle and is been very productive ,keep up the updates 👍👏

Kyle is the man. I do kushman chiropractic’s religiously

Great episode, thank you!

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.

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.

Kyle Kushman is my hero!!

I didnt ask for it but stoked to see Kyle on garden talk

Excellent pod!

Thank you so much for this legendary gentlemen🙌🏾🇿🇦

Rad show. Thanks guys.

Thanks kyle for everything

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. 👽✌️

I just tried the cracking the stem idea .. that was louder than expected 😅

Sim sala bim is from Johnny Quest lol. I'm not 40 though.

Nice to see you guys 😄😄

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.

Finally watched it. Lol Chris, he's mentioning your umbrella technique

Kyle Kushman wrote at great article at High Times about Subcool's super soil recipe. I call super soil 101 along with Coot's super soil recipe.

You got a real solider frontline grower. All you organic growers are 🤴 in my 👀

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!!!!

Wow what a life story the high times magazine articles is just crazy right places right times and things fell into place

Great show!

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..

This will be my 3rd run and Im excited to give Kyles way a try. 6 node colas only sounds pretty nice.

Wow. Me neither man. We noting leaving the leaves wow. Super comon sence man .gotta try that nextime it presents itself.

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!

I'm currently filling a whole 2x4 tent with 1 plant using manifold/mainline technique along with 2 rows of trellis ☺️ It's my second organic grow too.

Yeah three years for me growing. My plants are over 6 feet tall and 10 feet around.

Super cropping is my favorite, quick and easy with big results

Great show

Awesome!!!!

OMG it's Kyle!

I have my first plant now. I am totally that guy…. Like 12 active hours a week in training 😂😂😂😂

The Legend!

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

@30:00 is a great way to show and explain how to up your game

Great pro show

Man, I'd love to be on this show. I mean I'm just a small time home grower but just to be able to talk about this plant with someone else would be amazing

Good show Chris! You mentioned plant count limits in different states. Here in VA the limit is 4 plants. Luckily nobody seems to be counting.

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 top at the 10th node and lollipop, taking the first 3-4 nodes off.

Topped mine at the 2nd node and the shits is wild

Christmas decorations 🤣😁😭, kyro LOL ❤️✌️

I wish Kyle would be more competitive with his seed prices or have a deeper discount system.

Awwwww shit I'm hyped from the thumbnail let's gooooooo

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
