Thank you for a better understanding of the ratios. I've been using OA for a couple runs now but their feeding chart is misleading. After watching this video and doing further research I turned my veg. around in 1 week.
kyle kushman taught me about veganics back in 2010 in oaksterdam...dialing in the recipe for my personal preference has been one of the most educating experiences of my life...veganics is the best and i have stuck to this recipe ever since because if a corner is cut or a factor is changed the results in the end product suffer...thank you mr kushman for your education and dedication to the medical cannabis community
Thanks to Richard Lee, Dale and Jeff Jones and a ton of others that made Oaksterdam University possible...👊🏼💚👊🏼
@@KKushman and r.i.p. Big mike...when will you be at oaksterdam again i have some veganic seeds i want to give you as a token of my appreciation
Kyle is one of the OG’s of cultivation of cannabis, you the man Kyle!!!
Such a great conversation! Thanks Kyle for keeping it real!
I always use spent coffee grounds for Nitrogen and Peeled Cucumber Skins in water for Potassium and Phosphorus, all natural I grow the coffee and the cucumbers! 😁
Banana skins aswell 😊
I made that Banana water and my soil turned mouldy within two days.
Sugars don't feed the plants, it feeds microbial
What do you use if you get purple stems but the plant is still happy and growing fine?
@@Pointofnoreturn-du5oeCould either be a phosphorous deficiency or genetics. Some genetics naturally have purple stems.
If your talking leaf stems... Epsome salt foliar as long as your not in flower, otherwise water it in. If it's the actual branches...I would say phosphorous deficiency. It's all about balance.@@Pointofnoreturn-du5oe
Let the man speak!
Always organic. Coffee grounds a must when I recycle my soil. And egg shells.
Epson salts also. Alfalfa meal and insect fly flass. Good stuff. Worms are important also. Micro organisms.
Happy growing.
Love my advanced nutrients. Bud x and Nirvana with b52 made some of the most frosty nugs I've ever seen
Advanced only thing I wldnt use
@@downsouth333 why? Just curious
@luciferjones47 not sure why people don't like my buddy uses it and grows fire it is pricey but so is OA 😅 sometimes people don't like things they can't affford
Pricey but grows some fire it's not for everyone
Waste of money lol
Nature magazine, the science publication has anew open paper about nitrogen and its effect on the and size of plant, all growers need this info.
Kyle is triple og I remember this dude was growing when I was kid last like 20 years ago
I do synganics with ventana plang science and gaia green/craft blend. Mostly organic but if the plants looked like they had any deficiency or needed a boost they got hit with the ventana plant science. Amazing results everytime.
In the home stretch of my first grow this year and I love the channel! Thank you for all the great info
Ain't it a beautiful thing. Very therapeutic. Something I wish I learned years ago
hell yeah, _ratios_ is just what i was waiting on all around!
Its a little over my head but thanks Kyle for keeping it real keep growing!
this is exactly the video I need for the flowering stage
I use Alaska fish fertilizer for veg, it's 5-1-1. When in flowering I use 1tsp. of Alaska FF with 1 TBS. of a liquid Bloom fertilizer, it's 0-5-4. to a gallon of water. Been working well for me for years. I also use every 2 weeks some molasses for the microbes. I first started growing in 1976 in the foyer in my small Cambridge, MA apartment. My seeds were bag seed from that spectacular Colombian gold and red . The taste and high from that was perfect.
Cheers from South Florida
I grew super lemon haze. And I stopped nitrogen 4 weeks before cutting them down. And the buds were hard and strong
I make my own soil with all the nutrients in GG but i buy them individually from down to earth with compost & perlite coco an promix all mixed together seems to be working out just fine so far.
You are the man Kyle! much love from Colorado.
Cheers from Brazil! Thanks for the shared knowledge!
Always great info thanks again guys
Let us know when that Kyle kushman grow guide comes out
Great information. Thank you. Greetings from Minnetrista, MN.
Raw NPK was first to sale this type of line of nutes. Where you can spoon feed so do speak. A plant. With b12 etc humid acid all in one. Not to mention amino acids. NPK RAw water soluble immediately available to plants way better !!!!
Legend! Great content!
Thx from Germany 💪🏻🥹🔥🪴🪴🪴 🇩🇪
Grüße. Geil dass, n Deutscher den Kushman kennt und guckt. :-D Kennste du the ganjier?
@@MrHeathcliff83na klör
Interesting stuff and a sweet doggo. Perfect
This stuff sounds cool. I think I'm gunna run this product on my indoor organic live soil. I like the sound of this.
kyle let the man speak :D
Kyle is the OG if he is willing to sign off on somthing Im willing to try it
Jacks or Masterblend FTW .
I like all these videos dude brings on some top tier guests I want to see Jim Belushi and swami C on one video just talking about strains and such ❤
I don't think Jim Belushi actually grows. His show about weed is completely fake.
He did jim belushi. Archive it
Fish emultion and unsulferd molasses during veg and bloom booster molasses during flowering
You rock kyle luvthat T shirt 👕 👌
MICROBES MICROBES MICROBES. Look up effective microbes and your future garden/room will thank you!!
If you mean go spend £30 on a retail pack of them , No thanks I'd rather Not waste my money 🤔😕🌱 The grow industry & Especially the nutrients ranges are 95% a money making scam🌱 🌎 For the Best microbial life money Can't easily buy , go get yourself a cup or two of natural rainwater & add that 👌👍👍👍🌱 & You're welcome 👌👍🌱🌎
Get this ,here in New Zealand, plenty cannabis cuttings to be had ,but cannabis land race seed is on verg of extinction,
I'm definitely interested..👀🤔💯
I also give them Epsom salts.
And I use my over again next year
Grow both ways organic soil and synthetics in soil I always add microbes all of them funghi and bacteria advance nutrients and bio bizz organic both yield awesome results super healthy super clean nice smoke at the end synthetics always pushing higher cannabiniod content in my opinion soil less ah ye it’s not for me prefer the flavour and the quietness when grown in soil organic or synthetic can’t stand the buzzing water and air pumps I binned my first dwc run. Just after starting planted the plants In soil and was so much happier sleeping peacefully with no noise !!! 👍👍👍
T-Rex soil is from Thailand heard good things and for my next run I will be using it
that verticle "lettuce" wall is srunning
After buying “organic” fertilizer which is about feeding the soil, they move on to NKP which is inorganic growing by proving what the plant needs directly and never mentioning feeding the soil again.
Correct, we didn't touch on the importance of using Humic/Fulvic acids, beneficial mi robes, etc...💚
Excellent information 💯
I got mind in 35gal pot. And now they are 6feet tall and 10feet around
I was wondering what the best way is to get as close to Kyle's Strawberry Cough. Dutch Passio an RQS carry seeds, but do we know from where they are from. Did Kyle produce some seeds additional to the Sendling. Which one are more legit?
RQS are never the more legit version😂 terrible "breeder" ripped off genetics and herms. I would stick to Dutch Passion
🤣thx had some nice plant from RQS ones but wasn't looking for something specific. Dutch Passion is for sure legit but I would still like to know if so breeder really had an collab with Kyle and not there Version of the strain. I guess it's allways trying and testing hmmm.
@@michael3063 i met Kyle in Barcelona but forgot to ask him. I wanted to know about the DP Strawberry cough as well
Oh shit yeah that would have been the perfect possibility. 😢@@theblobfish9614
Type in google the name of this channel along with strawberry Cough. That's Kyles man
Let your guest speak please.
I run OA in auto pot xxl. And so far, so good. 👍
The real question is how to manage potassium, calcium &magnesium ratios
True, OA majes this easy as well. 1ml/gal each CA and V-micro...💚
Can I ask what the 10 2 2 numbers mean? New here, outdoor guy.😅
N-p-k Nitrogen/Phosphorus/Potassium levels in the product...💚
Irrigated no-till living soil beds are the way 💪 But seriously, good video.
A way NOT the way,,,,Amateur grower
And FYI I have probably the nicest "Garden of Eden" permaculture in the entire country I am NOT against microbiology either I invent microbiological products I am just saying because it is 1 pseudo intellectual and reductionist of others who employ other methods and 2 completely inaccurate as one of the best biocultivators in the world for a long time there is no 1 way to cultivate anything that is "best" everything is based on a pile of factors. Not for you, for the others who will read what you wrote and might accidentally think that it has to be that way FYI outside of a sterile laboratory ALL MEDIA ARE LIVING Bacillus sp. colonize your arm dude...
@@jakelooter5139 did I offend you? 🤣🤣
@@jakelooter5139 so, should I order 20 bottles of a magic recipe? Would that make you happy since you're the best?
@@ohmimprovement5767can you relax...💨
No body is as high as your guest right now 😂
Same here
Love the back-lit vertical hydro panels. Anyone know the brand/mfgr?
That's the Vertefarm. I grew lettuces for two months. So east and DEE-LICIOUS...👊🏼💚👊🏼
@@KKushman Thank you much. And unlike my Cannatrol, they even added wheels. I'm sold...
Less than 5 secs in and subsribed
I don't think you can buy any soil mix as good as you can make yourself some are good but not great
Deffo grow a couple different ways and keep a bit of difference goi g in your grow so u never bored of the same old stuff again n again 👍👍😃
You, the Man Kyle...😏
14:56 - Smooth transition, lol
Kushy, Kushy Kushy Kushhh. ( Monte Python)
Kyle needs to check his own nutrients. He looks ill.
I noticed the same thing, he does look t really thin and pale in color
Just gettin' old. I'm good for 58...💚
Smokes to much weed
Vegan is healthy guys bahahaha
He should eat meat
The audio makes it sound like you’re in a submarine.
We're committed to quality broadcasts. SHIT HAPPENS...🤨
@@KKushman All good, still good content sir and thank you for sharing it. Consistency in quality in production takes time and experience to produce, from flower to media, still is production. 😉
Ill stick with gaia green
My fertilizer is 2 , 6, 4, and another I use is 0,50,30.
Kyle, is that how you always talk with your guests? Over them? Not letting more than a peep come out of their mouths? It was kinda rough to watch/listen to, honestly.
It's my excitement for Organics Alive. This show was really about how I run these nutes...👊🏼💚👊🏼
Maybe we were watching 2 different videos because I heard a conversation between 2 individuals who are passionate about growing good cannabis and Kyle definitely did let the guest speak, for almost half the video ❤❤❤❤❤
Sounds like KNF or jdam in powder form that’s cool
2'x4' is never big enough.... you almost need 1- 2'x4', 1- 4'x4', 1- 5'x5' tent = HAPPINESS!!!!!!!!!!
OR... 1 VEG TENT & 2 FLOWER TENTS!!!
5:06 This episode is B on the S. Very C on H.
I have simpro for My next run
Way too complicated. Why not just use Grow Dots which do it all without messing with chemistry and math.
Some of us think of growing like cooking. Adding your own flavor, cookin' up chronic...🤓
I will never use miracle grow
Back in the day I've gotten some of the best bud from.mircale grow that's all there was... The key was to cut out the miracle grow 2 months before harvest and let the plant eat the rest of the organic amendments that were in there. Horse poo, bat guano, earthworm castings etc. You could smell the flower from a football field away as soon as you entered the woods
I came to drop a pro salt based nutes comment nicely and respectfully. TH-cam the app has a way of really only sending out content to people who have interacted specific ways with that type of content previously as well as targets your core audience a ton better than apps where you follow somebody and they follow you back. On avg the amount if accounts most peoples youtubes and instagrams have are very different size numbers and one type of social media has following and being followed back as a cultural development baked in youtube not so much its more like TV for kost of us just dial up for content. This was decent to listen to but you guys are definitely biased in your ways and techs
Assured, not the same thing...💚
@@KKushman i appreciate you big dawg. It's all love and respect
At first I give the 4 percent of nitrogen
Nih you look like u came straight from the set off the walking dead
We can't all look as good as you El Guappo.

@@KKushman te amo mi amigo ❤️

Is it just me I can't hear sound
What'd ya say?
Kyle: 10-2.5-4.5 Sounds to me like POWDERY MILDEW....
What tf does ec mean
Hes talking rubbish about the npk ratio if you double dose to liter off water you will get double the ppm of nutrition to the plant 10_2_4 npk becomes 20_4_8 npk
Please when you make another video use full words and not abbreviation
✌️😎🔥🔥🔥
Basicly more nitrogen gives bigger plants with lower the totals
That’s thc levels.
more nitrogen causes Powdery mildew especially silica and calcium deficient which is basically ALL OF YOU regular or beginner growers and a LOT of "experts" too including the host he gets powdery mildew he doesnt even remotely know what he is doing back in the day he was advanced there was no internet 25 years ago when I was reading his high times columns it was groundbreaking then it turns out he is a beginner grower with a lot of experience who still gets powdery mildew,.....when NASA Hemp gave the solution YEARS ago...

BS again and again from the "no poop" video to this nothing change just pure BS(aka kushman)
Is in your grow ware are you 😅😅😊
I use (21-0-0) & (0-52-34). It's about the ratio of N to P&K at the right time in its life. In Veg I ratio the N to be 50% to P&K. Then it lowers over time by 5 or 10% in Flowering then eventually as you said before drop the N by 70 to 80% & give it plain pH water for the fade of the fan leaves. It's never a pH problem because people are checking their pH everyday by overwatering. And yea I guess bump up K at the end if you can for the last feed or even a little before.
5-5-5 all season long 😅
Great info from your comment tho
Got to be careful with nitrogen. It will make you bud airy
bringing organics indoor you decrease optimal control.
yes because all genetics eat the same
Kyle does not look healthy
Actually, I Am All Out Would Be Nice If Organics Alive Could Hook Me Up With Some Samples....🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Bla bla bla 😂
Masterblend tomato feed, don't make it hard
Yes, Organics Alive Is My New Go To Fertilizers I Am Hooked Line And Sinker...🪝
