The Arithmetic of Nitrogen, Potassium, and Phosphorus: Mastering NPK Ratios with Kyle Kushman

[@bigchubbie5871]

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.

[@JulieHewes]

Kyle is one of the OG’s of cultivation of cannabis, you the man Kyle!!!

[@Pigeons420]

Such a great conversation! Thanks Kyle for keeping it real!

[@theomarvenzon]

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

[@KKushman]

Thanks to Richard Lee, Dale and Jeff Jones and a ton of others that made Oaksterdam University possible...👊🏼💚👊🏼

[@popiel52]

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.

[@KSwapTheWorld69]

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! 😁

[@mishaguevara]

Banana skins aswell 😊

[@JaSon-wc4pn]

I made that Banana water and my soil turned mouldy within two days. Sugars don't feed the plants, it feeds microbial

[@Pointofnoreturn-du5oe]

What do you use if you get purple stems but the plant is still happy and growing fine?

[@kamtroy2527]

​@@Pointofnoreturn-du5oeCould either be a phosphorous deficiency or genetics. Some genetics naturally have purple stems.

[@Wasmund]

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

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?

[@theblobfish9614]

RQS are never the more legit version😂 terrible "breeder" ripped off genetics and herms. I would stick to Dutch Passion

[@michael3063]

🤣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.

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.

KZbin 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.
