I hate wasting anything lol, cost too much. I'm just lucky I always have 10-12 in flower at all times. Plus I'll pour leftovers in my soil bin too

I get that in bloom, just like you. Fill the saucer, and dump the rest in the top, and bubbles galore.

Lol yea seeds are always a gud thing. Its an addiction in it self lmao. Idk how much ive spent on beans. An tryn to find a rare pheno in a certain strain so end up buying it a few different times lol. Or jus plain wanting a new strain so i end up online gettn some more beans

Its magnesium for sure. Go heavier on Growth Ionic and TP Drenches, like 30% stronger. That should clear it up.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:
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.

Hi Amy. Yep. That's a very valuable lesson. Despite what hippies who grow plants might believe, too much organic matter chokes off the myco.CHeers Dopyso true. Sometimes when i help folk with their computers they ask ‘how is it you know so much about computers’ and the answer is usually that I’ve seen a lot of things go wrong and had to sort them out! It’s the stuff that went wrong and how it was fixed that one remembers best!
I think I’ll do what you mentioned too. Keep it light going forward.
I really learnt something valuable when Doc sent me my soil test results for my small outdoor raised bed. I haven’t touched it since the end of last season and it grew out 2-3 plants really nicely for me. I’d made my own soil mix based on some LOS ideas and High Brix principles so really dialed back the organics/compost component (and didnt use any of the ‘meals’ that LOS likes - except my homemade kelp meal). Well a full grow and a year later, there is still too much organic matter and N in the soil! It really puts it in perspective for me just how much less high brix farming requires. It’ll still grow me some great plants this season with the custom ammendment and kit drenches/foliars so it will still work, but it will get better as the existing humus gets used up.
It was that soil test result and advice that helped me realise the overdose of castings i seem to have going on now. Less is definitely more!
Most people compensate by turning the "organic soil" into a form of high PPM salt growing with a mild assist from the biota.
In High Brix soil we take great care to make sure the microbes are at optimal health and efficiency.
Thanks, I'm running docs kit, and the soil we will reuse up to 3-4 times. These sunset sherb/wedding cake are feminized. There's a couple of sprays that you can use. The breeders will find the female they want to keep, one spray is called sts I think, it's does something to hormones. It'll cause sprayed plant to show male. Since all the pollen is from a female all the seeds will tend to be female. But there are occasional males mixed in too, but should be 97% female. Lot of times you'll see a cross, like jelly breath s1, if you see s1 that means she's been sprayed and reversed. It's a great way to keep genetics because all the seeds will typically take after the mother.
Sorry for half ass explanation, I think there's a better way to make fems but it takes a lot longer, it's called cubing, it's where they breed the Y chromosome out. I haven't read up on that technique
All good brotha, thanks for the reply and info that’s more then I know!
I need to do some research about breeding and cloning. Have never done them and I am interested. Once I find phenotypes I like it would be very nice to hang on to them. Even for just a few grows if possible.
Was curious if there was any benefit to using a certain run of Kit soil on a certain kind of seed. Like auto, reg or feminized.

Now were getting back on track, pots are considerably lighter but still have some weight. Should I go straightvwater in the smaller, younger plants? Am doing are the 2 in recovery ready for a 1/4 rescue to help them along?

I haven't ran autos in few years. Regs or fems both do great, just gotta make sure you get from reputable breeder. But everything like the kit soil. Here's some lowers on a girl I'm gonna chop tomorrow. She loves docs kit
Geez Louise Buck! Those fake plants have a resin problem!

Hey Brix Brain Trust! @Doc Bud @Duggan @TheGreenYeti @Buckshot317 @overlord @neikodog @DopyLemontree @Graytail @dajerm119 (I know I've left many out but this is a good start) Can you guys stop over to Farmers journal and give him some advice and show some brix crew love!?
As a recap, he started in solos but did not cut good enough holes for drainage and plants/roots got hurt, yellow, droopy with some rust spots. He moved them to 1s a few days ago but did not give a transplant drench because they were still a little wet, they're looking much better but he needs to know what the next move is when the pits are dry which will be in the next 2-3 days. I was suggesting trans drench but want to see what you guys suggest. FutRfarmers First Grow With QB's & Doc's High Brix
@weenmeoff @FutRfarmer Well as of now, and with the large caveat that I am not a Brix brain at this point... I would say when in doubt, Transplant Drench. And if they’re young still (because the timing is a bit ‘off’) then maybe it should be a 1/4 trans water. And if they didn’t get Roots! at transplant from the solos, then add some roots! too (I would do that anyway probably).
But I’m pretty tired right now, so I don’t really know what I’m saying. Just didn’t want leave it hanging with no response...
Oh and to my eye they still look pretty wet. Hard to tell in pics tho.

I only added a hand full of names but you are definitely in the Brix Brain Trust Amy! Your instincts are spot on, much better than mine, and your knowledge of plant bio and soil science is very advanced! Great advice! I was leaning towards 1/4 trans but then recently changed thinking the full trans could not hurt. Let's get some more opinions and stop over to his journal and sub up.

They haven't gotten their first TP yet. He was waiting for soil to dry out. He should start with TP.

Just my 2 cents on the dunking convo going on.
When a dunk is in order, what I do is dunk in straight water as per instructions, and on a Feed Day I will top feed either the GE or TP drench from the top after having drained the pots. Logic being, not having to double the dose of drench as it isn't being lost in the extra. I have yet to experience any signs of stress from overwatering which was my worry.

Thank you Amy, they did get roots but have not gotten a trans, I was waiting for them to dry out. They still had some weight to them last night.
