Why did you say strawberry cough for the haters?
So, little patches of mold/fungus are good for the soil??
Rookie here. This is my first time making it to veg with my seeds. I watch these types of videos every night, and I learn something every time. Already subscribed. Following Brandon Rust now. About to transfer from 1 gallon to 3 or 5 gallon bags. learning soil first
Two great guys
Terrible audio, whatever is happening is very distracting. Didn't make it far.
Love your lecture about growing…
Best regards from Portugal…
Love Blake lime reserve
LMFAO
What a joke.
Everybody has the way they like to grow.
Just because someone grows ( supposedly ) organically. That that's the best way to grow and or that the product is better.
I have seen numerous scientific studies that state the difference between organic cannabis and cannabis grown a different way is so minimal that most people can't even tell the difference.
I'm not saying it's not a good way to grow. If that's the way you want to grow.
Words of metal The only thing you keep is what you give away.

Bravo…..hey how about Korean farming……only top feed……cheers
Great vid
I can confirm the first two plants i grew where the best of my life ( fruit spirit and royal domina from RQS. Sun Grown without any fertilizers just un-PHed water, wind, good soil and shining sun ), greatings from Italy where it is still illegal.
great info, what about biochar for my carbon? I add it to my compost while it is breaking down but it that enough to add enough carbon to get my girls to take up my goodies.
Great info, thanks!! I'm inspired to dig deeper into soil science. When I was younger I always said I'm gonna grow some dank nuggets when I get older too, now when I'm working w my plants I'll almost need to pinch myself cause of the joy and excitement I'll get hit with! Freakin GWAH!!
Blind listener/grower here the audio was definitely bugging out on my end a little bit at some point I think it even came through on Brandon‘s end he sounded like he was being slightly interrupted by thinking you were about to say something potentially and then towards the middle and end of the video, it seemed as though he might’ve realized it was just glitch and he started working around you all adapted and overall this was an excellent video very entertaining very educational. I would like part two and hear more from the both of you guys. I am currently growing a clone of some strawberry cough, my buddy gave me Managed to save it a few months back had it bushing out under a shitty blur my buddy gave me in my room sleeping with the girl every night. Finally have her outside transplant from the gal she had in the beginning to a 15 I believe and now to a 30 and she is fully outdoors and, soaking up some extreme Maryland Sun, this is my first outdoor grow, and it is very interesting. Unfortunately, the strawberry cough, which is the plan is the most excited about is the main one showing some issues some burning at the tips there are some yellowing before we transplanted into the 30 and she was definitely getting, really balled up in the ball push into the edges before we transplant. It was a little late of a transplant. I think that did some damage to the poor girl. I’ve only amended soil with kelp worm, castings, and some banana peel water or tea or whatever you wanna call it, she bounced back to a stellar green like a week after transplant and now she’s going back to showing some yellow and even some brown and black spots and some of the more outer leaves. I don’t know if she’s getting too much sun because I popped her in a spot where she’s getting like 12 hours of direct sunlight really was maximizing her, I’m not sure if she’s getting burnt by light potentially fox Farm ocean Forest mix with prom mix and some other stuff I used to make my soil I’ve done pretty good with training her in the beginning but now once again the main top is rushing ahead in the middle while there’s still some very smaller lower branches Wondering if I should top her again but then I’m worried about two more tops coming out of the top and it getting even more overwhelming in the upper zone to catch it up with the lowers or vice versa getting things more even. I also wondered if something like a tomato cage or simply just, tying some sort of a string or something and pull in the branches outward to spread it and assisted in becoming a bush a little more because it seems like she wants to be a bush so bad but then is naturally growing like a Christmas tree, quite literally never really knew what people meant by that but the bottom stock is thicker than 6 to 8 foot tall Christmas tree at this point already just about and she’s just passed my belly button in the 30 gal so I wouldn’t say she’s even 3 feet yet anybody could give me some tips or anything especially coming from Kyle they would be superb appreciated. Strawberry cough is one of my favorites of all time, she had such a beautiful melted strawberry field of strawberry type smell maybe even a month ago but lately I don’t really smell much coming from her anymore. Don’t know if it’s cause she’s just getting fried out in the sun or what with my climate and stuff I believe we’re 10 days out from flower so any help would be so greatly appreciated because I would love to be able to yield, at least a couple ounces or something this harvest last year I just had four strawberry cheesecake flowers and I got like a half ounce between four plants and it might’ve been the most anti-climactic disappointment of my life although I wasn’t expecting much for my first grow in a garage with very little environmental control Very weak LED lights like the ones style ones and yeah I’m blind as I said but more so I deal with a lot of chronic pain and shit like that with my nerves and cannabis my favorite medicine I’ve dealt with that actually helps and I would love to stop running to the dispensary and giving them over $100 a week For something that I can be growing myself even better. I have some other plants as well and they are all doing a little better in their own ways. I’ve got a blueberry cross with Cinderella 99 auto that just won’t flower for some reason, even those supposed to be like 45 days from Cedar harvest, I think it got Germinated right around 420 I would put it around like 60 days around that June 20 Mark, where regardless of it being auto or not if it thinks it’s a photo. Now because it spent so much time with the photos or whatever cause I heard some people saying some autos, like forget that they’re flowers and that help them flip so I threw her outside with the other ones even though I was gonna keep her indoors until she started flowering because I didn’t want her to get the same light burn or whatever it could’ve been but instead, she’s about two or 3 feet away from the big strawberry in the 30 gallon And how much smaller she is she’s a much nicer looking bush. I topped her very early and with another lucky orchard that I had doing some experimenting and at first it seemed like I fucked it up. She was like leaning over and stuff, but bounced back much quicker than the photo, the photo took about a week to bounce back from the topping the blueberry that kid you not took about a day, maybe two and then proceeded to turn into a crazy ass bush. She has one of those autos where she’s barely a foot tall, but the canopy is ridiculous and plucking leaves every day these last Week or two to get some more light penetration because she is literally just like a ball of biomass covered the pot she in I can’t remember if she’s in a seven or 15 I think it might be a seven. I also heard that she might start flowering when there’s enough resistance at the route zone so perhaps she’s trying to maximize her size and lifespan before, she throws herself into her final stages of life. It’s just crazy cause she’s looked like she was about a flower for weeks now and then just keeps popping out new tops and slowly sprouting leaves and creating some branches. Mainly the two main ones just look like some big old titties And then there’s like two slightly smaller branches so I’m hoping I could get at least an ounce off that knowledge I’ve been soaking up for 20 hours a day for the last couple years could help me actually have a stockpile of medicine LMAO anybody still reading this I commend you thank you and appreciate you more than you’ll ever know Whether you respond or not, thank you for taking your time to read my experience. I also have another lucky orchard and GDP and my stepdad was mostly in charge of those and he scared of plucking leaves and topping and bending pretty much anything so those have had a very interesting upbringing they grew, like trees with one main stock and just a bunch of shooting straight off horizontally still wondering if I should convince him to top or bend those over he’s so extreme. He stuck some like plastic bamboo type sticks next to him to brace them up because he’s scared of them falling over from a little bit of wind or something, a little windy here 10 to 20 mile an hour wins on this big hill where I’m located but the GDP and stuff are mostly in a happy frog soil medium and also got banana water and stuff recently but they’re just looking like they’re not too large, like my strawberry cheesecakes from last year They might already be a little thicker and got some massive leaves bigger than my hand, but I know we’re not looking to grow leaves as I keep trying to tell my stepfather we need to grow some buds some real medicine like everybody keeps preaching. I’m done with my rent, read this no you were loved. Everybody is safe happy healthy, wealthy and stealthy if you’re operating or growing your medicine, they don’t allow it yet for whatever reasons and if you read all of this, I love you too, man you are an amazing part of the community and I thank you for, all the gems you drop including that mystical strawberry cough last thing PS my favorite batches of strawberry cough like if I’m looking at a lab test from the dispensary it’s always the ones that are high interpreting. I personally like a little bit of mercy and stuff in there to keep it a little more relaxing, but I’ve had it with a good bit of lemon which gives that really nice uplifting citrus, fruity smell and jumpy buzz but that pen is honestly my favorite sativa really makes him nice and euphoric and giggly and focused and just warm and tingly rather than agitated in the nerves I think it is the sativa with the best body high. I thought I was growing a Fino similar to that what I am looking for, but before the smell started dying off, her profile started changing a lot like a burnt rubber tire and gassy smell, which I really liked as well but now she just doesn’t really smell much at all which I know I shouldn’t really be expecting plants with no flowers or even pistols on them to be smelling but I’ll tell you my blind man senses Are crazy. I smell a completely different profile any plant, especially cannabis that I am smelling. For example, one of the orchards I got is extremely funky. It’s the smallest one the one that I also tried topping and she’s by far the lowest and most of an experiment at this point Second or third is this weird thing going on? She has a Godzilla spikes going up her stock. It’s very very interesting. I’ve never heard anything like that. Anybody here has be very cool to drop that on me. It low-key seemed like she got tired of me, touching her and really started shooting some shit out to, try and make it pleasant for me to be playing with her all the time
I agree you never stop learning im 64 been doing this since 12 I'm non stop learning litle things every day I learn something ever day wea I realised at the time but later on i might use it
I would rather listen to someone who has learnt from experience not someone who has read books but never had dirt under his nails thanks for teaching younger or people with less experience thanks I love watching you and your guests
So if you dont grow living soil organic your weed is shit? Is there anyway good weed can come from peat moss coco or groblock hydroponics?? Or no matter what living soil taste better and smoke better everytime? Genetics dont play a factor?
Bugsby for light and the basics. Rust for the rest…. Legend/BadAss/ Real Deal Educator. Soil KING!
real lovers of learning know that "teaching" is just another form of learning
GWAH from Philadelphia!!
The sound has some strange overlay which makes it very distracting to listen to. Good thing I’m not lit, probably would make me bad trip.
If you hear "soil testing" and think nah no money like i did.. atleast get those p.h. strips and see if ur at p.h. 7+ or or less than 6. After my first grow my medium which started out at 6.2 went to id say 7 by that color. We have very hard water in germany. Simply adding citrusextract in the right amount like 1g a liter made my plants look super healthy.
Living naturally is dirt cheap!
Where’s this limearilla
loving these nwer episodes , great work Kyle
Very glitchy audio. Great info but very hard to listen to.
I am currently studying how composting works and doing it myself this year. I am very excited!
The only thing you keep is what you give away about got a tear in me eye I'm watching this from central KY hey all you good people
glitching audio , everytime the guest speaks you hear some noise and voice scattering around… really annoying cant listen to it man. please re upload?
Chad rust lol weed should taste good we have been growing regeneratively for years . Kyle this guy grows for bulk and lacks quality has lowered the value of actual good weed . I over payed for a bag grown by his partner took to hits threw in the trash of course if I pay 50$ an eighth and it’s trash I will expose the boof. I think it’s his love for the dirt and lacks the love for the plant. I learned more from you and Ed’s q&a then this chad could ever teach me and the strawberry cough is way better then the lime-a-rilla. Come to Oklahoma and if you think the medical weed is good here then you don’t know good weed. It’s sad that the dispensary weed really is awful here. Dudes is a douche Kyle and because of this you lost a viewer
Go green
What the hell is up with the audio
The OCM is a corrupt clown show
Great show
This collaboration is awesome
. Two of my favorite dudes. 
I've heard of Bryan Rust but I'll listen.
I would love to learn half what he knows about soil dynamics .
Loving this guest
!
Texas hemp may be killing it now but there’s no guarantee with our joke of a state government. They could clamp down on it at any point just like they’ve done with women’s rights and politicizing school boards
This is a great discussion on soil and micro organism. Thanks Kyle and Brandon.
Couple of legends in the game, thanks for the great content!
“Imma give you a minute to answer this”question cuts guest off 20 seconds in
Miss me some subcool.
Man, you aint smoking without me are you? One minute. We are now even. Lol. Thanks guys.
Brandon Rust is the man, you guys are great!
Thank you !!!
Consistently perfect audio all the way through for me
Consistently perfect audio all the way through for me — must be something on your end.
Disappointed to hear the glitchy audio. Anybody else hearing that? Kinda distracting, at the least.
