Doc Bud's High Brix Q&A With Pictures

That was my thought as well I added more recharge last night and gave a drench of 1ml of GE and trans per gallon of soil and .1ml of tea per 1ml of drench.

If they're still wanting energy I'd hit them with a rescue drench next. At least that's what my move would be based on my knowledge

The window is right for the Cat Drench, but there is something wrong.

Lemme just toss out a guess---could be wrong, but I've got a theory I've got to test:

ARe you in felt pots?
Did you transplant more than one time?
was you veg container larger than one gallon?

The roots aren't happy. Skip the Cat Drench, trim off the dead stuff, and then follow this carefully:

Flush to container slowly with 3x the volume of the pot with water. IE and 7 gallon pot (minimum size) you want to pour 21 gallons slowly down the top. If you can soak the pot in water, do it for 10 minutes.

When it stops draining, slowly pour a half gallon of Rescue Drench down the top.

Please make sure I see your followup to my survey/theory above, so it doesn't get buried at the bottom of a page.

10-4 doc, just sent out a order for trans and amendment so as soon as I get those products I will do this. It's worth mentioning that I gave her 2oz of trans, 5mils of tea, and 2 gallons of water last night. I didn't actually feed her an GE I misspoke, was thinking of other plants. Thanks doc

Also I'm in fabric pots but I don't think it's felt.

What can happen if you veg in larger than a 1 gal and flower in smart pots pots? I went from 1 to 3 plastic and then vegged for a week in 7 gal smart pots and flipped. Should I just be going from 1s to 7 gal smart pots instead ?

Doc recommends only transplanting once... get em nice and rootbound in 1 gals them straight to the final container.

Lots of people have problems in those fabric pots... doesn't matter if felt or another material. They just dry out way to fast around the edges... Doc uses plastic as do I...

The felt can work, it'll just take some experimenting to nail down how exactly to water them properly.

A great song that in part could be talking
about our little group of misfits

Sorry, off subject but I gotta, my favorite band and sax solo. They indeed did sing our songs. Light another light bulb baby! :tommy::theband::passitleft:YouTube hope I did this right?

Also I'm not going to do a cat drench at all? Or skip it for now? I thought it was pretty critical to getting frosty nugs and bud growth?

Doc just doesn’t want you to do the Cat while there are other issues... once this issue is cleared up you’ll be ready for a Cat.

I am now officially NOT recommending fabric pots. I know people use them successfully, but most of the problems I see are with roots and nearly all of those folks having trouble use fabric pots.

I haven't ever had those types of problems, and I've always used hard plastic. My helper in the garden also uses plastic....no troubles with roots there either.

As for the Cat Drench, put it off for at least a week, perhaps skip it all together since the plant is showing all kinds of stress, like 3 bladed leaves, etc. Do you possibly have a light leak? (a big one, not a little tiny pinhole type.) Go inside in the dark cycle and see if anything gets in.

I recommend vegging in 1 gallon, then upcanning to 7's or higher. I bloom the same day I transplant. Grow some strong, study roots that don't get killed by air pruning and in soil that isn't disturbed by picking up the pots or moving them, etc.

I think a lot of these issues will go away. They're due to containers and the difficulty transplanting from felt/fabric, and the fact that roots are always dying off.

I'm officially not a fan of fabric pots! That doesn't mean you can't use them successfully....it just makes it harder and roots don't grow the same way.

I crack the opening to the tent at the top for airflow during the night cycle but there's no direct line of light to the plant there's also usually very low light outside of the tent. The only light that comes into that room is through a 6in x 18in window.

One of my flowering plants threw out a ton more 3 bladed leaves than her siblings for some odd reason but she was fine as can be

I noticed in the tent that transd and flipped within 3 days had a lot more vigorous growth than the girls that got transplanted to final containers and were vegged for another week. Thanks for the info Doc!

I think the fabric combined with using a 2 gal veg felt is my issue as well but also wanted
to ask about the above

I also have some light that is filtered through a far window covered with only a blanket
its very dim but gives enough light that I can see it at the far end of the room ? Kinda
ignored it since its on par with the moon light reflection that would be present at night
in nature but maybe its affecting things negatively.

So next run, 1 gal plastic to 7 or 10 plastic, seal off window use same 1 st run (from bin)
with same seeds. Same process and see what happens.

I'll try and remember to report back.

This is the same situation I'm in with the light, any light that could possibly be getting to my plant via the opening I leave is no stronger than the moon light, in addition to that, I have a second tent for flowering with a similar opening except that opening is directly under a ceiling light maybe 45w or so, it got seeds, it didn't grow as vigorously as the ones that didn't suffer from a light leak but I didn't see any stress like I'm seeing from the plant I originally asked about
