Pants are overrated
... flowering sativas on the other hand...
It’s honestly the hardest thing the first time you do it - to let them go so long without giving water. I did it in my own soil b4 using Doc’s kit, and once was enough to show me.
Push yourself pookss - and any other fellow DBHBB newbies out there - and you’ll watch the plant look better and better the further it gets into drying out... then a touch of wilt ... water/Drench... and then you’ll have a plant that looks like it’s electrically charged!

Electric indeed. That's what the High Brix gear, especially the drenches and foliars do....electrify the soil. Cations or Anions or even a balanced soil signals the plants in different ways and the most important of which is the Milli-voltage of the soil.
Too high and the plants burn, too low and there's no life in the soil....just right and the plants and all living things thrive. Electrical properties of soil are amazing, and we don't know much at all at this point. Thankfully, microbes do.
I've been smoking joints at a hot spring all afternoon with my wife. It's a nice, sunny warm day here, and it feels good to have the sun beat down on my face and back....like Jamaica did. Anyhow....keeping all that in mind, if we understood how plants and microbes work to produce energy and could somehow make "green" energy using that kind of tech.....imagine what life would be like? Different for sure.
Anyways, the microbes need roots to live and ditto the plant. The two interact at the root level......so we pay close attention to developing roots in veg, and at the same time we're more often than not removing foliage....but never roots.
The better the root system the better the harvest, assuming a proper growing environment. On the other hand, we've all had harvests with less than stellar leaves but amazing buds and great test results.....but no one ever had a good crop with bad roots.
