Hey Curso, sorry to intrude on your journal but I have a few questions you might can help me with. When you did your brix experiment with cfls what was your soil mix? How did you go about feeding and spraying? Or better yet if you remember do you care to jus elaborate on it. I'm experimenting with high brix myself and using cfls. I would really appreciate your help and incite. I see you had success. Thank you in advance!
The mix I used was the T&J planters II, bristol forte, 6-5-3 and cooked with T&J tea for a month (they have a product with all that mixed together called BioMinerals 2.5-4-.2 General Purpose Fertilizer is made from Biosol 6-1-3 (14 C), Planters II (10 C), Lime (6 C), Soft Rock Phosphate (5 C), and Gypsum (3 C).) I would've gotten it instead of buying everything separate). To one bag of pro-mix hp I added a small bag of happy frog. I gave them the t&j tea weekly (really strong shit be careful it'll eat all the food in the soil fast if mixed to strong 20:1 is a good mix of the tea to water ratio). Spraying is weekly with pgr and amaze (not on the same day, do like prg tue, and amaze on sat) bloomit..use it when you flip and once the flowers are set, 1oz per qt of water (I break it down to a cup .25 oz/8oz) on them all.
I had a ton of cfl in there. Small yield compared to what I pulled after I got rid of the cfl, but it was great smoke. However it was enough to have some smoke and get rid of enough to get HID
I agree with Doc that environment is super important. I can notice the difference in the lighting I just changed (600 from 400) huge difference. It will come to you in time. Something you will have to remember THIS SHIT IS SUPER EASY, DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN "THIS IS TO EASY I MUST BE DOING SOMETHING WRONG" and start messing things up. It's fine to stare at your plants because there is nothing to do to them, you'll find yourself doing that fairly often. There is tons more I just can't think of it all right now, shoot me a link if you end up doing a journal (I have sig's turned off ppls sigs are longer than most posts and it annoys me) I'll happily follow along and help as much as I can. The freebie auto's did well for me in the CFL by the way.
PS. Please pretty please with some CVK on top if you order that stuff from T&J get the yucca extract for your tea. You will get Gnats with that tea!!!! They love it IDK why the Yucca works but it does some very beneficial stuff for your plants along with conditioning the soil.
Here is the link to my last journal it has the cfl grow in it in the beginning
and progression of a grow after that.
Curso's Semi-High Brix Take One - Featuring Blueberry Gum - La Musa & Purple Urkle
Hey Curso! Man I love those CVK pics. Thanks man. Those are clones you said? How long did you veg them before flower? Thats pretty amazing the plants will green up so fast...
Oh, and how far along are those CVK in flower? Week 6ish maybe?
Close bro she is on week 7 I'm guessing that it'll go 10, I vegged it for a month I think, it could have been a bit shorter. Yeah these plants respond very well to the sprays. I could watch the green coming back into the leaves, it was pretty cool to watch to be honest (I was baked).
those CVK's are gnarly as heck!! and your s47 looks DARN tasty! great work man!
Thanks bro!!! I can't wait to smoke some of both to be honest. That s47 is so damn stanky I smile when I open the tent and get hammered with their smell
Blueberry Gum gave me 2.5oz of dried bud. I vaped a bud of it last night, lol...I took the first hit and almost chewed, thats how close to bubble yum it tastes. Lovely buzz too super happy, I am looking forward to it cured. It didn't taste like that in the T&J soil, it was good, nothing like this though I was bbbblllllaaaaazzzzzeeeedddd after finishing the vape. The vegging GSC and CVK got some more LST last night in my euphoric state of mind. I have grown that strain for almost a year now, it has yet to be as good as it is right now, just dry. Thanks again Doc!!!
