Have you got a link for that soil kit. Sounds like it's working great for you.
I'm taking notes as usual and these sprays you are using, is there any background on them being used on plants that are smoked? Maybe I'm a bit paranoid but I have always been carefull about anything I spray on my plants much preferring the uptake through the roots.
Those are some amazingly happy plants Doc! I believe our plants tell us what they need if we are listening...yours appear to be singing for joy!The whole point of the sprays is to feed the microbes at the root level. The calcium, phosphorus and minerals in the spray increase sugar content in the leaves, which is then sent down to the roots to feed the microbial crew. They're so damn happy with the good grub, they go out and crack rocks and mop up dead and decaying organic matter and bring the good stuff back to the plant.
Does it work? A little......:
I'm nervous that this might be too good to be true and they won't flower correctly. This worry is based completely on emotion....you know, if something sounds too good to be true it probably isn't.....but damn! My buddy took a look and said they are the healthiest plants he's ever seen.
Even if it doesn't flower well, this mix is PERFECT for veg. If it delivers the same kind of results in the bloom phase.....look out! The bar just got set a few notches higher.

I hope it works, because it looks like I'm going to be right behind you...
I finally had a chance to do some reading on High Brix, and if I'm understanding what I'm reading, it would seem it's not as mysterious as I thought at first. I have much more to read, but fundamentally it's really just organic on steroids, focusing on the micorherd and techniques to coax those little buggers to give the plants everything necessary to reach their full potential...in food crops that equates to more nutritious, sweeter, better tasting fruit and vegetables, that are able to fight off many pests and diseases. Brix is just a way to measure how nutrient dense the vegetables are. Am I on track?
I still haven't come across specific recommendations for mineralization of the soil, in the proper ratios like you've posted. In fact, when googling the topic, your journal was coming up at the top of the results!
If all goes well, I think I'll use this upcoming grow for my first journal. I'm planning a 49 plant SOG with .8 gallon Air-Pots. I have 60 cuttings hopefully rooting now, but I've never tried to root this many at one time, so my fingers are crossed! My soil has been mineralized and is waiting... But I won't lie, leaving my OC+ safety blanket has me a bit nervous, but I'm determined to make the switch!
I'm sold on the concept, and will be mineralizing my vegetable garden this year as well! I imagine working outdoors the soil test would be a must to see where you're starting from, but I was planning on putting in some raised beds this year anyway, and thought I might use the same mix for those... I'm really glad I bought that cement mixer!
No bull....it really works! Glad to hear it!I'm doing my second application of tea on Sunday......Haven't splurged for the foliar sprays yet, just using the microbe tea. I second your observation on the bug's view of minerals. I had fungus gnats, mites and thrips (bunch of plants brought in for the winter). The gnats were almost all gone in a day, haven't seen any mites or thrips moving since.
Doc, first off, looking amazing!
Have you figured out the foliar sprays better? What concentration are you using?
those plants do look amazingly healthy. I have no doubt they will flower well since you're turning those microbes into machines, the plant will have an army of workers when it tells them to produce budding nutrients. You said it best, take care of your soil and it will take care of your plant. This is demonstration of that very concept.
Doc, when you finalize the formula for your SUPERIOR soil, will you tweak it a bit for the small growers that might not have the ability to mix large batches of soil, or access to all the products used?
Every time I try something you are using, or something even close to it, my grow seems to get better. I am really looking forward to the results of my grow with organics.
It would be amazing if it were that easy! If it does work that well, how long will it be before someone markets the same kit to Cannabis growers at a 5 or 10 times the price.However, here is this kit, designed to be used with potting soil and it is purposely designed to grow high brix produce. Minerals, tea, innoculant, fertilizer, yucca extract, air stone, pump, strainer, hose end sprayer.....everything.
...most oils, most complex smell and taste, highest sugar content....and hopefully a potent complement of psychoactive terpenes in ratios that result in a bright, living , connected to the universe high.
That's all.

Glad to see you're not expecting too much!
Doc, I might have missed it... but what ºBrix will you consider excellent, good, etc...? It just dawned on me that I don't remember seeing cannabis on any of the charts...
