HIGH BRIX FEEDING SCHEDULE
Alright everyone, using several different posts from "DocBuds High Brix Q&A" as well as his "In The Lab" threads I have put together a precise feeding chart that can applied to any number of pots. I took Major PITA's Foliar Spray ratio and expanded on it, those are my best estimates based on how much of the Foliar Spray I have used in the past.
This schedule assumes that you are following DocBuds recommendation of Solo Cup (not necessary) > 1 Gallon Pot > 7 Gallon Pot transplanting. I also made the assumption everyone with the kit has basic horticulture experience... I did not take into account any of DocBud's specialty products (OG Drench / Fungicide), or heavy feeding plants. This entire schedule is adjustable, so if you have a heavy feeder feel free to bump up the ratios a little.
Also keep in mind I did not give recommended water ratios, that is because we are feeding the soil. Mix the amounts of Drenches and Teas I have given with as much water as you need to get about 20% run off.
Anything written in RED has to do with Transplanting and Soil maintenance. Anything in BLACK has to do with feeding.
Water >> Water >> Water >> Water >> Water.
De-Stress Tuesdays & Thursdays // Brix Fridays -- @ 1 to 30 mL ratio.
Growth Energy (0.5 mL + 0.1 mL Tea) >> Water (+ 0.25 mL Transplant Drench) >> Growth Energy (0.5 mL + 0.1 mL Tea) >> Water (+ 0.25 mL Transplant Drench) >> repeat.
De-Stress Tuesdays & Thursdays // Brix Fridays -- @ 1 to 30 mL ratio.
NOTE: At this point you should be watering ONLY when leaves begin to show slight signs of under-watering.
Growth Energy (5.0 mL + 0.5 mL Tea) >> Water (+ 1.25 mL Transplant Drench) >> Growth Energy (5.0 mL + 0.5 mL Tea) >> Water (+ 1.25 mL Transplant Drench) >> repeat.
De-Stress Tuesdays & Thursdays // Brix Fridays -- @ 2 to 60 mL ratio.
NOTE: At this point you should be watering ONLY when leaves begin to show slight signs of under-watering.
De-Stress Tuesdays & Thursdays // Brix Fridays -- @ 4 to 120 mL ratio.
NOTE: At this point you should be watering ONLY when leaves begin to show slight signs of under-watering.
De-Stress Tuesdays // Brix Fridays -- @ 4 to 120 mL ratio.
NOTE: At this point you should be watering when the pot is light but the soil is still damp. Do not let it dry out for the rest of Bloom.
