We’re starting a new segment called growmie stories. This is an ongoing series where we tell tales about our homies that grow and our first guest goes by the username kykeholt56 on Reddit. What you see in these photos is a SINGLE plant that was stretched out to completely fill a 3 x 5.5 foot closet. This plant was never topped or FIMmed, so the canopy spread was made solely on low stress training using both twist ties and a trellis. This plant came from a clone from the
Oklahoma Clone company and the strain is cosmic serpent number 8.
The final yield was a massive 246 grams of dry weight and what’s incredible is that this was actually Kyle’s first grow. So how did Kyle do it?
Kyle did this all indoors and started with the clone in a 6 inch pot with happy frog soil https://amzn.to/3kNeByJ
With a cheap blurple light and a 18 hour light cycle,
Phlizon 600W LED Plant Grow Light
https://amzn.to/3kG8A6Z
The plant was fed just regular pH balanced water. Growth was off to a really slow start. Kyle wanted to Low Stress Train from the jump , (record scratch)but quickly realized the plant was too young, so he resumed LST at day 22 when the leaves looked stronger. As the plant grew, Kyle tied down the main stems using twist ties https://amzn.to/3MSGX6z
Once the plant filled the pot, he transferred it to a 5 gallon pot of Ocean Forest https://amzn.to/3FizDP0 and planted it close to the edge.
As the plant grew, he would continue to tie down the new growth so that it is parallel to the soil’s surface and aligned with the perimeter of the pot. He continued circling the new growth around the pot and fed it plain pH balanced water, relying on just the nutrients in the soil until day 53. On day 53, Kyle eased in Grow Big nutrients https://amzn.to/3FjV0iY and on day 64, the plant completely wrapped around the perimeter so he transferred it into a 7 gallon pot filled with Strawberry fields soil https://amzn.to/3LQQ5sa He also switched the lights to a more powerful, Spectrum King SK602 https://ebay.us/O3qUvK still maintaining 18 hours of light.
During the transfer, he removed all tie downs and let the plant grow stress free for the next couple of weeks and also stopped feeding nutrients. On day 81, he installed a trellis in the closet which he bolted taught into the corners. This is where the magic happened. Now, instead of tieing down the plant, he stretched it out using the Screen of green method. At this point, commenters on reddit convinced Kyle to GO IN on scrogging and succumbing to their remarks, he said “I was able to tuck a lot more than I thought”. On Day 88, he flips to a 12 hour light cycle and on day 91 begins feeding Open Sesame Flower Nutes, https://amzn.to/2WlMA8p once a week. Any new growth would be forced into the furthest square on the trellis and the stretching continued up until 4 weeks into bloom when horizontal growth ceases and vertical growth begins. For the remainder of the grow, the focus is now on buds and what you see is the buds developing. It’s still mind boggling that this was a first attempt and the yield on this single plant filled up 4 32 oz mason jars AND a gallon mason jar. Beginner’s luck?, I think not, it just goes to show that a thirst for knowledge and applying it is really all it takes for a successful harvest.

Day 22 thanks bud
Wow this is awesome. Great job 👏
Man, we got to give it up to this fella. If someone can’t congratulate they here to hate. Outstanding grow!
.9m x 1.5m=1.35m2 700g/m2 x 1.35 = he should of got 945g and that is just the average ,
everyone of those buds could of been 1ft colas achieving the average per m2, pass on this info if you can 😉
is nice..but takes lot of vegetative time…is useless if you want quantity and fast.
Awesome grow, keep up the great work 👍
Fire
Got a Similar grow going on right now, looks great !
I ran gmo rootbeer bx 1 like that vegged for awhile finished almost at close to 2 lbs under 600w hlg led, shit was 4’ by 4”ft canopy and around 3-4 ft tall straight beast, its a great method but it had drawbacks if you get pests or fungus
Nice!
I’m in Oklahoma as well. I use vegamatrix, it’s better than organic it’s vegetarian. It’s the best food I’ve found
This is beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍Id love to do this with an Amnesia or a Trainwreck !
When you put time and love into your grow you can make the impossible happen
Miyagi would be proud 👌👍
This is the first person on the internet that actually used a trellis right
Nice
dope scrog! that’s dirt nasty low🤣. I’m on my first grow. got a 2×2, 52 colas and thought mine was low af. damn!
That’s an impressively low scrog.
I’ve never been able to get one that low.
Hmmm, looks like the Tip Pot system, sort of.
246 grams is nowhere near a pound. Need to learn math.
246 is a hp tho…
Nuts 😆
This is awesome and great motivation fpr myself on my first grow as well… Big ups to my bro for that nice ass 1st grow
But its an old ass plant,. How long did you have it in veg,. My clones is bigger then your 30 days old plant,. Dammit Carl you had one job
I need to attempt this method outdoors in my greenhouse when Kansas finally legalizes. I can only imagine how insane it’d be for the plant to get all that sun lol
Not topped at all whatttt that’s insane
Why this video is so recent but however 5-10 years old materials back from the past ?
What if you used simple bio nutrients as a Biotaps system ?
You’re using a 650 W LED Light for 1 plant. The electricity seems to be cheap in your country.
You could obtain the same result with a SF-1000 LED (just have to play with the intensity of the LED Light and its height. It covers an optimal surface and costs less.
In my opinion, your light is, ofc, effective, but expensive because it could cover more surface so you’re having a loss. A wasted/fading energy.
It remains a very good work.
Kyle is a Master 😍
Wonder how much was in his gallon jar.. my first grow was almost 2 gallons but also had more plants than that
No way was that his first grow
Great video! Check out my single autoflower in dwc, dry weight gave me 20oz can check out the weigh in video if you like as well! https://youtu.be/_wNaTHCBavI
Beautiful
Don’t order from growgeneration on the internet. Bad return policies if u end up with a defective product.
Awesome seeing a first timer absolutely crush a proper scrog. Well done 👍🏻
That is beautiful them Oklahoma boys roll them joints just right!!
i was just looking at that Sesame stuff at the grow store last week!
Awesome!
That’s just amazing!!! Thanks for sharing all of this. 👍👍👍
BeA utiful!
I would hate to step on this guys awesome grow which it is but I grew critical 2.0 from true north last cycle along with 4 other strain but I grew to of the critical because true north took over a month to deliver I actually kind git screwed by them and had to get a few going so I popped 2 then I ordered from JBC SEEDS this guy knows his shit is super fast shipping and has those breeders your always reading abouts strains mephesto and others they showed I. 3 days so I threw 4 strains out of the 8 I bought from him with the 2 criticals I will say JBC seeds went in a few days later then the critical but the critical went almost 120 140 days BTW all strains are autos everything from jbc popped and flowered about 120 grams dry from each almost exactly but the critical 2.0 autos from true north both the only plant I had 2 of both 250 dry with in a few grams 6 plants in a 4×4 with a few different lights I tried the aglex version of the optic 6 2 bigger bar lights 300 watt and just by chance I had 3 150 watt bloomspect got delivered to my house with other grow shit with my address and so.eone else’s name which I did keep [ I normally wouldn’t keep it but wtf are the chances that grow shit shows at my door I didn’t order while in the middle of a grow it was God sent lol] any way what I have building to is both critical did 250 grams each with in a few grams the whole grow in a 4×4 with 600 watts of led 1019 grams minus the test buds during the grow and drying process may 4 or 5 grams besides I blew 10 grams of bho from the larf and extracted another 13.75 grams of bubble hash I did take the 160 micron and blew it with the larf . I have grown a few times maybe 10 full grows 6 of them indoor always hydroponics in hydroton 2gallon fabric pot I. A flood table with a drip feed using a 50 gt cooler as a res and a water cooler like for your office as a result chiller by running a 25 ft coil of stainless in the res with a pump in the top of the water cooler with just enough water to keep the system full + maybe 3/4 of a gallon to fill the chilling part of the cooler then put a pump in there and loop it to drain back I to the water cooler keeping my res between 64 and 69 depending on my temp sensing dual outlet it has two pros 1 for each out let and u can set a low temp turn on or off and a high temp on and off so I have it kick on at 68 and stop at 64 then it will turn the pump back on when the temp gets with in 1 degree either way it was a amazing amount for 16 Sq feet of space 1019 grams I have so.e pics still but I lost my 1 google acct when my screen broke on my old phone but wet som of the bigger colas were bigger then my head and neck I have a pic or 2 of that bigger then my entire Arm and I am 6 foot 245 lbs and alot if not all my info was from YouTube and being a mechanical person and diying alot of shit. My biggest mistake was not checking my ppm a few days after res change which I do weekly not by weekly but after I got them up to using full strength nutes 2 or 3 days after a res change the ppm would jump to double what it started u use gh 3 part flora series with a few supplements it was a years worth for 2 heavy smokers well 2 blunts or cones a night and maybe 4 or 5 on a Sat now I always include 2 critical plant in every grow just incase the strains I run aren’t high yielders I know the critical although it has a long grow time will produce atleast a pound alone so I will at least have that. We don’t sell or have patient’s we keep it all for personal we don’t even let anyone know we smoke besides are family and we are in our 40s. We got lucky that ny went rec because we were a little nervous for the first part of the grow till the law changed but with leds it’s hard for them to even get heat signatures that look like growing and the don’t draw a ton of power to see on that side . It’s a shame we can’t get federal laws to change on this matter
I got an awesome story for u I’m on week 8 let me finish the story I’ll get back to u in 2 weeks lol🙌🙌
Really impressive for the first grow. I was scared to do anything like this lol
i only fuck with ocean forest 🤌
Kyle is a chad
Not sure it’s worth all the work and extra time… why not just have two plants with a half ass topping, and still get more then that a couple months sooner…..
My grow room is 7 x10.
I use cattle panel cut off pieces and mark 4 x 9 trellis.
The Acapulco gold I did on my last run filled the trellis I topped twice in veg and lollipoped.
The grow was one of my most controlled. No issues with bugs, nutes, or lighting and water.
3 SF 2000 above did a great job.
It really was the perfect storm and my grow was a huge success. I harvested over a pound and a half of solid dank nuts that took me back to the 1970s. I’m 70 now. Still growing the herb and learning every day.
Keep it green fellow growers.
