Growing at Home Q&A with Kyle Kushman: Tent Setup, Living Soil & Harvest Tips

Kyle Kushman hosts a special Tentchella 2025 Growing at Home Q&A livestream, sharing grow tent setup advice, advanced lighting insights, living soil tips, and harvest timing guidance. This candid session covers everything from dialing in your indoor environment (using smart controllers for temperature, humidity, and CO2) to optimizing LED light levels with a PAR meter for efficient growth. Kyle also opens up about his first crop failure in 35 years and the changes he made to prevent pests and mold, highlighting his strict cleanliness and integrated pest management practices (like using Microbe Lift and starting plants from seed or tissue culture).

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced home grower, you’ll gain valuable knowledge on organic cultivation. Kyle discusses his switch to living organic “super soil,” explaining how pre-amended soils and dry organic nutrients (Gaia Green, worm castings, etc.) make feeding as easy as “just add water.” During the audience Q&A, he answers questions on when to harvest (by checking trichomes for that milky-to-amber sweet spot), managing nutrient cycles with organics, and even multi-tent setups. The tone is warm and informative, packed with personal stories, practical grower tips, and encouraging advice to help you grow your own successfully at home. Enjoy an entertaining and educational deep dive into home growing with Kyle Kushman!
