Doc Bud's High Brix Q&A With Pictures

So I got a question. I bought a kit about 2 years ago and getting ready to use it in a few months. Is anything gonna be off? Ultimate procrastination huh? :bong:

Kept in a cool dry place, and nothing opened but the box.

Hey Mtl! Damn that's some procrastination right there, ha! I think you'll be good but don't know for sure but wanted to bump this to this page for you in case it gets missed.

:passitleft:

Were the ingredients kept in a relatively cool, dry place? Should be fine. I'm with Ween here Mtl, go for it! Just remember to cook that soil for the first 30 days or so, and feel free to start a journal so the rest of us can follow along and offer pointers :)

I have taken a look at them recently and the amendments look fine, so I imagine they were safe and sound where I had them stored.
I got a journal going now using different stuff as a trial run as I gather equipment and make sure nothing stupid is gonna happen with the environment or anything else.

I have read up a bunch on the DBHBB process, but will still be needing assistance I'm sure. I got Duggan following along and keeping me headed in the right direction, but the more the merrier. Not sure what I will run for the first one, but it looks like I am leaning towards the Lemon Thai Kush. I might be putting in an order with Ace....for some reason I am attracted to the Golden Tiger.
 
Great idea.....ACE is a fantastic choice for all those strains.
Maybe consider getting a few A5 crosses from them.

Everyone seems all about the Killer A5 Haze right now. I actually tried to put an order in to both Ace and Oaseed...but for some reason my cards get denied. I Landed on the HSO site and they accepted the card, but I had a verification with my bank through SMS before it would go through.

I can do an international bank transfer with Ace, but I really would prefer not doing that.
 
Hmmmnnn?... never have had an issue with Canadian M/C...perhaps if you call your bank to pre-authorize the transaction...:hmmmm:...
...pretty sure Doc said a couple years if kept cool and dry and unopened...I wondered about shelf life as well, cause I didn't want it shipped during freezing temps...mine's about 9 months, and I'm not expecting any issues...soils cooking now...cheerz...:thumb::high-five:...h00k...:hookah:...
 
Ya...sometimes it's a pita to order but get it done. Watever it takes. I promise you , u will NOT regret growing out the A5!
Bloom is a lil long but it is SOOO worth it. Cheers.

Everywhere I know to look that killer A5 is sold out.

On my wish list is:
Golden tiger
Malawi
Zamal Bliss
and pretty much anything in Neiko's perpetual page!

Sometimes my cards not working is a good thing though! Bwahaha!

I think the kit would be fine. Just asking to see if anything would come back. I should start with the cook in June, so I got some time. When I start that run I want to have all those ducks in order and not ordering stuff in the middle.

Ah, I see Doc is sending out a new line of fake plants! Very nice! They look just like his real ones.

I think my plants might be allergic to kit soil, or something. Every plant I try to grow with the kit breaks out in all those white sticky hairs! :bong:
 
Hi, I'm a hydro grower here to glean some wisdom for achieving high brix with hydro. I mix all my own nutes from salts and target each element to a specific PPM and am able to put my levels to pretty much anything I want. That said, I was already in the process of dialing in my macros when I stumbled onto high brix content and realized I was already in pursuit of a similar end result. I later learned others have taken it further and analyze the leaf sap for the macros as well as PH. This inspired me to get the PH meter and I learned my leaf sap PH is 3 tenths low so I have cation concerns as well as a Ca and K deficiency that I'll have to work on over time, but in the process of contemplating new ratios to try, ones that I can feel confident that won't leave me high and dry if I miscalculate something.

That said, I was wondering if you have any insight on
  • what ratios I should pursue,
  • your understanding of how brixy I can get in hydro,
  • valid sources of soluble calcium other than Calcium Nitrate
  • and how much nitrate should I give. Nitrate is pretty much my only source of N, and I've already been on the deficient side with it in mid/late bloom so I bumped it up in bloom, but I'd like to better understand the happy zone for N in bloom and aside from you, there's not much Canna/Brix related content on the interwebs.
FYI, I also use humic/fulvic/kelp blend and just got a 16L Amino Acids blend, so I have some organic inputs, I figure with those and precisely calculated diet, I should be able to get my Brix from 5 up to 12ish which would be great for me.
