Doc Bud's High Brix Q&A With Pictures

...so...I have a couple water questions...do any current brixer's stray from the distilled/RO water recommendation?...ie. well water...I've never been big on gadgets and measuring, but someone gave me a TDS meter a ways back, so recently I checked my well water...200PPM...I then checked the lake water out front of my place...30 PPM...would the lake water be at an acceptable level with kit soil??...
...also...on May 24th, I put 6 seeds in soil with a dusting of roots and watered/soaked their 1 gal. pots with a transplant drench...4 were kit soil, the other 2, my own blend...except for one kit no-show plant, everyone seems happy...is there a general consensus on how long straight watering goes on before starting with the goodies provided in the kit regime?...

...cheerz... :high-five:...h00k...:hookah:...
Let them dry out completely (2-3 weeks) then start with a transplant drench. Alternate Growth and Transplant with just water or water with 1/4 dose transplant in between. When they are needing water every day or every other day you can start doubling up the drenches, so transplant....transplant....h2o....growth....growth....h2o. Do this until you do up pot. No foliar sprays until you have a couple nodes with at least 5 fingered leaves.
 
Let me add to the problem:

That one isn't looking good.....roots aren't working.

Let it dry out.....no LST.....no foliars.....when it is good and dry, Rescue drench it.

Ok I thought about that but didnt know if maybe a destress would help but ok no foilers and then I'll hit it with a rescue drench. If since it's in a smaller pot I could uppot with fresh 2nd run soil and then it wud dry out quicker or should I jus keep it in this pot for abit to help get bigger roots. Also I did jus uppot it to this bigger starter pot last week so idk if tht changes things or not. And I did add I thought alil more then normal of the roots powder when I transplanted her cause I cudnt find my spoon so I used my knife lol n jus sprinkled it all around n on the root ball.
 
Also I had a question if any1 could help me with. I'm tired of my glass pipes an shizz breaking do to faulty/shity quality glassware. So does any1 know of a site that I can order a new bong and or bubbler online that is of good quality? Any help would greatly be appreciated thanx every1

I'm not 100% sure what you just said above......but it sounds like you already transplanted it from a very small container to another slightly less small container?

Transplanting is stressful to the plants. If you took a substandard root ball and transplanted it into another small container you could have easily damaged the roots.....and you absolutely damaged the life in the soil.

Do not transplant it again until it's ready to bloom. Try letting it dry out and then rescue drench. The reason I say no foliars is because the plant isn't under stress so much as its roots aren't working with the soil.

Ok yes thts pretty much it except I transplanted it from like maybe 1/4 gallon pot to a 1 gallon pot that it is in now. An the root ball was fully root bound an I didnt hurt it or RIP them well more them normal I guess lol. But eitherway it didnt wilt or nuthn when I transplanted it so i did the actual transplant good i think. So ok I'll jus let it dry out then do a rescue drench to get the soil back in good running action.

Yep. Try to minimize stress at every stage. Transplanting is stressful.....do it once.
 
Thanks neiko - wouldn’t miss it! :thumb:

Hiya fellow Highbrixfits :ciao:

Question for the general brains trust.

I’m contemplating a reversed light cycle for my indoor winter grow - with lights on during my nighttime. I will be able to manage light-on temperatures much better that way and I would reverse the airflow (extract at the bottom, intake at the top) so the lights would be the main heatsource (I ran some tests - this works for what in the tent).

My question is: how warm can temps be during the lights-off period without causing problems? I know ideal temps are 68-70ºF. Is it a problem if they’re always at the highter end of that, never lower than 69 and maybe sometimes 71-73º?

:Namaste:
