Plant Training Methods For MASSIVE Yields! (Garden Talk

In this episode of Garden Talk, I interview Kyle Kushman. He has been gardening for over 30 years and is an advocate, educator, and journalist. One of the things he is most known for is his plant training methods - and that’s what we’re going to get into in today’s episode. Kyle talks all about various plant training methods with a focus on increasing yields. What type of plants do you like to grow? Kale, lettuce, broccoli, tomatoes, oranges, grapes, apples, potatoes, house plants, let us know in the comments section below. If you enjoyed this video please click that thumbs up button :)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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 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.

    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

    I'm 99% sure Adam was my neighbor in the early 90s when I lived in highland ny .my parents were always hanging out next door, I thought it was because he had the newest Sega game system. But years later my mother told me he was growing the best weed she had ever had. Anyway fast forward 30 or so years ,and now I've been growing for 12 years, watching garden talk for 2 and I'm just now realizing who kyle kushman is . Super ironic and I'd love to reach out to him, but I'm social networking ignorant. But that would be super cool!!

    If you haven't seen it yet the University Of Florida has a Research Paper on how to Breed and Maintain Predatory Mites. It provides details on Commercial or at Home Personal Scale. It happens that the production mechanism can be leveraged to provide a Persistent self-release system. The research paper is by: MREC - UF/IFAS. Titled: "Production Of Preditory Mites". I found it from a KZread video Produced by: "Genna's Plants". Titled: "Breed predatory mites at home | save money & treat plant pests naturally". She outlines her experience with the system and she provides video instructions of the simple process. The video in 11 months old and she has a pinned comment edited every few months with her updated experiences that make it easier. She seems to intend on doing a follow up video for it as she has learned a bit.

    Let people experiment and explore. See what we can collectivly discover and learn. 😊 There is a small amount of additional detail to be found but the import home scale information follows. "Materials needed: Cotton Rounds (cotton facial cleansing pads) Weigh Boats (5½ x 5½ x 1 in) Non- absorbent cotton Card Stock Paper cut into 2 x 2 in pieces Black Window Screen: Mesh (2½ x 3 in) Wax (not soya) A method to melt the wax safely Forceps Scissors Sweater box Plastic snack bags or other small sealable containers To make Waxed-Paper Squares: Place black mesh piece on top of card stock piece, using forceps, dip once into hot wax, let dry (possibly place in freezer), and then remove and pull off screen. The wax should now have a mesh pattern with groves imbedded in it. These are for the mites to roam in. Place in the weigh boat 3 cotton rounds stacked on top of each other, saturate with water and place one waxed-paper substrate square on top. Unravel some cotton and place a few strands on top of square and add a small amount of pollen. Release mites on top of the waxed-paper square. The mites will lay eggs on the cotton strands. Additional pollen can be added to the substrate one to two times per week. Additional Waxed-paper squares can be added as the mite colony begins to become crowded. The cotton with eggs can also be removed on a regular basis to start new colonies as needed. These squares can be cut into pieces, placed into small snack or sandwich bags or other suitable container and given to clientele. The cotton rounds should be maintained moist at all times by adding water to the weigh boats every few days. The weigh boats can be maintained in a sweater box with the lid ajar. The room temperature should be between 72 and 80°F. Once this system has been mastered or proven to not meet your particular needs we will train you in using one of the other systems."

    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 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!!!!

    I feel that vegetation in a higher amount of blue light and very minimal amounts of red light will keep the plant shorter and promote more rooting.
