Will be popping seeds in late august. I wonder if the plants will take up the OC+ nutes first or that provided by the microbes? Won't really matter as long as it feeds all thru the cycle.
I'd add the OC+ later, personally.

I run a wick system so if I top dressed I would only be wetting the prills during my weekly tea feed. I guess I could dig em in but I hate doing that when the pot is full of roots. I wish I could play with the plants every day but I just don't have the time hence the wick system.
Hey Doc, wanted to let you know I voted you in for Member of the Month!!! Your bringing of the High Brix method to the 420 magazine is amazing and I am happy to be a student!!!
Excuse me people, I'm not big on nutes. Started with Fox Farms and been using until I started going organic. What is OC+ and is it organic.
Keep it Growing Chronicly !!
If it's not organic, won't it kill the living organisms that you're trying to maintain and increase?

Doc
this is my Critical+ at 7wks flwr. OC+, instant tea once a week.
All the plants about 50% milky and have more amber at this stage than any other grow, not a lot but you don't have to strain the eyes with a scope to find them. Could it be the brix affecting that also?

Thanks! I won that contest once before. Do they let you win twice? (not that I think I'll win)
Doc, you are truly to modest. You certainly deserve the honor this time wether you have won it before or not! If not for you even mentioning the high brix method I know that at least 4 of us have implemented into our gardens and growing styles.
Thank you so much for contribution you certainly deserve the honors.
I now have all my plants in a high brix soil even my 5 mamoths in flower are in fully high brix soil as well. My plants have never looked better and it is all thanks to you! I know it is still in the testing phases, but so far my grow from seedlings to flower have been in the soil that I documented in my journal and they have never been healthier.
I picked up the limestone (pulverized), says it is 91% CACO3, the Gypsum and am looking for some Soft Rock Phosphate, I am sure my local feed store has some just haven't been there. I guess I am a Doc Bud disciple!
Don't get me wrong, I love good smoke but growing is a fantastic hobby. Now for a couple of months I am going to plan a soil mix with some shortcuts due to what I can get locally and "cook" my soil for a month or so. Then it's on. I have read that you top your plants when running 12/12 but can't find where in the vast reading that is Doc Bud. I suspect as soon as the plant gets to the fourth node you top just above the third, is this right?
My next run will be a seed run because I want to start with 12/12 from seed, tired of the clones being boring. My plan will be 6 plants 2 each of PPP and Ice femmed and my current favorite the AKxSK#1. If I don't get a male from the two AKSK I will make feminized pollen using Giberaelic (SP?) acid and I won't top at all. From what little scheming I have done my soil will be mixed 3 to 2 using a commonly available garden soil and Fullers earth mineralized with 6/5/3. To this I will add a cup of Jobes organic for vegetables and tomatoes rated at 2-7-4 and 4 heaping tablespoons of powdered Alfalfa cubes per along with 4 tablespoons of OC+ per 4 gallons. I will tea as needed for the first 4 weeks with a tea made from 1 cup Jobes organic 4-4-4 and 8 teaspoons of molasses in 4 gallons of water bubbled. After the 4th week of flower I will feed with a mix of Kelp and mollasses at a rate of 1 tablespoon Maxicrop seaweed and 2 tsp of molasses per gallon at 30 oz's per 3 gallon container. The only part of this I haven't tested is of course the 6/5/3 and the amount of Jobes 2-7-4 but it seems a safe starting place. In cooking my soil mix should I do it in a closed container or a vented container? Should I hit it with tea before I let it sit for a month or so? Am I missing anything?
