Hey BID
Hope the temps ease up on you soon! We've been having some high temps up here in NE WA. I almost asked why your leaves were curling until I remembered the heat discussion.
Sounds like you might be able to get an AC from one of the grower angels here
Props to Sl1ng and McL :Thumb:
I was intrigued by your high brix experiments. Your methodology seemed sound to me. If your able to repeat others' results with other plants, ie your veggie tests, it sounds like your testing methods are fine. Just because someone doesn't believe a result, doesn't mean it's bad. This is basic scientific method.
You're theory is that coco coir does something to help plants achieve high brix. Your results seem to support your theory. Has anyone produced results to refute the theory? If not, then your theory gains credibility. I'm far from being in a position to do this sort of experimentation, but I am already assuming I will have some coco test plants running in the flower room in a future crop. I'm keenly interested in the High Brix stuff too, so I was watching your experiment with much interest.
Just do your thing and don't worry about others. As long as you're not hurting anyone else, be the only person you can be... you!
Hey BID. Now that you've done the washing, would you have any tips or advice for applying this technique to a production environment, ie 3+ lbs (dry) at a time?
Actually if Curso, or anyone else washing, reads this and has thoughts, I'd love to hear them. I don't have a lot of $$ to invest in equipment to do it, but I do have several 5g buckets and could probably swing a few more if needed. Am I accurate thinking one 5g 'wash' bucket will only do a single 2-4oz plant?
I've been curious since getting wind of this idea. I'm planning to wash my next crop. I was gonna do a single test plant, but have decided to try the opposite. I'm going to wash all but part of one plant, or maybe one branch from each strain to compare
Can you link that vid? I have Jorge's book, and don't recall him talking about washing buds.
Hey Norcali
I'd strongly urge against the portable. Several folks here tried, unsuccessfully, to sway me from buying one. I wish I had listened. Putting a window/wall unit in will be much more economical and provide better functionality. My portable, and all of them AFAICT, leaks some air, ie it pulls air out of the flowering room and blows it out the exhaust. This can be a problem if you're supplementing CO2.
Anyway, don't listen to me, but please DO listen to people that know what they are talking about in regards to AC (such as Ronnie). Just say no to portables. I can't think of many situations a portable would be the best option.
