Arctic Bowl's 1st Ever Attempt At A Grow Journal

image37502.jpg


Here are two of our Green Crack Photoperiod girls, they are starting to stretch out a bit and also starting to show buds. These have been very tolerant of us newbies. The photos should have another 8-10 weeks but we will see how they look then, may take a bit longer

Our "KIT" showed up today!!!!! Doc gets his items out very fast even up here to the North Pole :-) thanks Doc!!!!

We will start mixing things up this weekend and get our soil cooking, we are really looking forward to giving this system a try. More reading the next few days so we make sure we do it right. :thumb:

Blessed Buds our friends :circle-of-love:

I am not sure what you mean by "kit". Sue uses the term "kit grow", and I don't know if that means the equipment plus the nutes and soil, or if it's just a 3-part nute regiment.

It's a high brix formula that DocBuds came up with that changes the grow game. He has a tested formula for Promix HP that you add specific things to then let the mixture sit for 30 days to cook and your ready to start your grow. His plants look amazing and everyone that I have looked at that uses this method is killing it in the grow room, no ph Ing water, and many other things I see as plus for trying it out. We are just going to be getting started with this so we have very limited knowledge on specifics but many others have great knowledge. Check out DocBuds " in the lab" journal, wealth of information on it there.

Personally I would not wait to mix and cook the kit before spraying foliar feeds. I would start now by giving all the girls a hibrix spray once a week, flowering or vegging. Then give them a good bud wash after harvest. Google bud washing. It's a 3 bucket system created by Docbud. Cheap and simple, from what I hear it's worth the effort. Either way you got the kit so you are on the right track :D I'm growing with the kit right now and so far I'm pretty amazed! Hibrix and your location drew me to your journal. I'm hibrix now and in Montana so kind of a far off neighbor lol.

We could do that :-) just ordered a couple hand held sprayers so in a week or so they should be arriving. We were not sure if we could spray these girls being they are not in the recommended soil, didn't want to mess things up but cool to know we can. Love Montana country BTW, and not really that far away 46 hours or so drive :-).

Stop by anytime, we are always wanting to learn.

Birdie!!! Thanks for stopping by, things are going well, little progress everyday so we're going in the right direction.
Oh yes, the lovely school days. Never seems to be enough time to get ready for that, we haven't had to do that for a few years :-) but remember those times all to well.

Have a great day and of course Blessed Buds
 
I could be wrong but I thought he told me once I got the kit to start spraying the plants that would go into high brix while it was cooking. Maybe I misunderstood him, could also be maybe he meant his sprays aren't for plants that won't be going into high brix soil at all?
 
Ok I messaged docbud and got an answer for you. Take from it what you will.
"I do not recommend foliar spraying unless:

1. You know what you're spraying and why
2. You are in soil designed for foliar feeding
3. Your foliar spray matches the crop you're growing


generally speaking, it's a waste of time to use my products in "normal" soil.

Please read the directions! They're linked to in my signature."

Yes no need to wait to start spraying hibrix and de-stress. Start raising your brix asap! :)
So you planning any outdoor for next year?

Hey Df, not sure on outdoors up here, although we do get some nice warm days up this way, I'm not sure how the plants would fair. We get a lot of rain and no way to control humidity may be a huge issue with the buds. I'd love to try though but would like some input from other far north folks to see how they deal with the temps/humidity levels to keep the buds in good shape.

I have seen Doc Bud advise others that spraying the the products in other than the cooked hibrix soil is a waste of product. Just saying.
