Doc Bud's High Brix Q&A With Pictures

Yup, anything....hahaha...no, Panama, Malawi, and Zamedelica crosses are good for sativa's...for indica side, try their Bubba Hash. Neiko knows way more about ACE than me cuz he is a test grower for them , so.....Anything with those strains in them are going to be very strong and very rewarding. Cheers...:passitleft:
 
24 hrs after up pot. They look much happier everyone think they are ready for a good water? Or should I give a small rescue? I will cut yellow leaves off also

Hey there FutRfarmer, were the footballs of the plants pretty dry when you up potted? if so, and its now been 24hrs... I don't see the harm in getting them that rescue drench.

For pure potency go for Malawi and any of her hybrids. Golden Tiger and Zamaldelica are well known for overpowering potency.

Awesome thanx for the help/info i know the malawi can have a pretty long flower time on her dont she? But the tiger an zamaldelica got me interested ill have to check those out thanx.

The root balls on the 2 bigger plants were dry the smaller ones were dry on top but still wet halfway down the solo. Here’s a update from this morning

After 24 hrs the added soil has prob pulled a lot of moisture from the solo soil through capillary action. If they feel light you can rescue drench and start the wet/dry cycle

Doc/ Anyone ever see this happen? Interveinal chlorosis. It happened pretty quick, like two days. Temps 68/80 rh 50-62%. Lights are 30in above top colas. It just affects some of the new growth on the buds, big fans are fine. It’s in first run soil.

I have been learning what this GP strain likes, and have been feeding at the high side of 2ml per gal of soil, alternating TP with H2O prior to the 2 Cats. The Cats were at the same 2ml per gal of soil (basically 1 tbsp of product in a gal of water) the plants have been thriving. After drying up after both Cats, I watered with a 25% TP drink, then two days later noticed this:

GP - progression of interveinous chlorosis

I’m thinking the Cats were too strong, and symptoms lagged a bit??

I’m not upset, as this strain is the best smoke I’ve ever grown, and I need to learn it’s limits. This is its second run in my garden. First run I underfed, and she protested

I gave a light high pressure misting of destress, and a day later she seemed to like that. The chlorosis has not progressed any further.

Good morning Farmer and friends. I'm confused a bit sir! When you up potted those plants did you not soak the pots with a Transplant Drench and sprinkle some 'roots' in the new holes and on the rootball. Why are you talking about water and stuff the day after transplanting, they should be fine . Also a Rescue Drench is NOT nessesary when you transplant OK. Just soak the new, large pot with a Trans Drench and be patient...they will turn the corner and love life. let them get a hold of the new soil properly . Not sure why your not soaking at up can! Cheers .

Hi Duggan, read back a couple of pages and you’ll see the progression that led up to this.

He had these in solo cups, and they were suffering from being overwatered. Up can and after they dry out a rescue drench is in order. He will back on track soon. Not the normal way to do things, but when we don’t follow Docs advise/ instructions, you got to put on the damage control hat.:passitleft:

I am still on my first kit grow but, from what I've seen, some strains seem much more sensitive to the CATs and show some leaf stress shortly after. It doesn't appear to effect quality, at all! ;)

Good morning Duggan,
I did dust the hole and root ball with roots and like DLtree said i F**d up with the solos and not 1's. so we are on a rescue mission. I'm waiting patiently for the roots to get connected with the new soil and then I will start the wet/dry. check out my journal it's short but you will see all my mishaps. I WILL follow Doc's instructions next run.:passitleft:
 
Oh....ok bud! Things will be just fine. The roots will go looking ...they will love the new soil and turn the corner...no worriez. Cheers eh.
 
High Brixers :)

I need some advice.

I have too many worm castings in my mix (1st run) and consequently this blue Dream has a significant case of The Claw.

It’s also looking great apart from that - but you will see the clawing pretty clearly here...

It definitely got worse after recharge which kind of confirmed for me about too much worm castings.

I have a plan for the second run to balance things out but right now I need some advice about this Blue Dream

It’s had both Cats and since then a single plain water (very mild ‘transwater’) so technically it’s due for a Growth Ionic (GE).

I’m not sure that’s the best thing for it right now. I think the GE gives some N boost to things and maybe that’s not needed. I’m tempted to give another plain water (maybe a transwater) or a TP instead of a GE at this time.

Thoughts? :Namaste:
 
My two cents:

@FutRfarmer If they haven't perked up a little by this afternoon, pour 16oz of water over the tops of the pots to be sure there's enough moisture in the new soil.

@DopyLemontree Yeah, that's Cat burn. I was rereading the schedule somewhere, and Doc doesn't recommend the high side of dosages for Cationic Drench. But like you said, it's all about the trichs - the produce will be good. When we drench with Cat, we switch the electrical charge in the soil and that causes the minerals that have attached themselves to the clays and humus in the soil to fall away and become available to the biota. There's a wholesale alteration in the biota population as they adapt to the new circumstances and the plant's exudates change, etc. The old biota die away and aren't available to perform their former duties, and if the switch gets hung up, the plant gets partially starved while everything adapts. In my experience, heavy Cat drenches rarely go well for leaf heath. It would probably help now to give them a DeStress foliar.

@Amy Gardner That claw isn't bad at all, but it sure doesn't look like it wants anymore N right now, so I think your instincts are good. You might consider doing another Trans/Tea this time, or just a 1/4 Transwater. It would probably enjoy a Brix foliar at this point, too. If it were mine, I'd drench with Trans/Tea and Brix it same day.

:Namaste:
 
:thumb: thanks @Graytail

I brixed yesterday (so after those pics), and there was a 1/4 transwater a day or so before.
:high-five:

Good to know the claw isn’t real bad :)

Hi Amy,

Those buds look fantastic!!:goodjob:

I was getting that claw down and dark leaves on some of my lighter feeders last run. I was in 3rd run soil though, and had been adding 30lbs of EWC at soil cook, and a cup at recharge time. This round I started with 1st run soil and backed off to 15-20 lbs of EWC at the cook, and will adhere to this with each subsequent run. Last year it seemed we all were adding too much EWC, and Duggan’s observation of this with his own garden sealed the deal for me.

So what to do now...?? I don’t know what the best solution is, but I simple used less GE and TP the rest of the grow, and did more pure water drinks, attempting to flush things. In the end the buds were great, but I know they could have been better.

Good Troubleshooting is a product of experience.
