Doc Bud's High Brix Q&A With Pictures

It shouldn't be root bound. Its in a 3 gal air pot and the plant is pretty small, I think the plushberry actually started to flower and going back to 18/6 seems to have stunted it. I will get some pics tonight when they wake up. Like I said 98% of the plant looks perfect its just the bottom most leaves will brown up starting at the tips and just die off, once I remove that set it goes to the next and all 3 plushberrys I have tried have done this. I got the landrace strains because I wasn't having much luck keeping the plushberrys happy the first time around but had a couple beans left so I figured I would give them another try.

If they're in 3 gallon pots and were bloomed for 2 weeks, I'm going with rootbound.

I was going to repot them this week anyway so I will report back once I do.

Thanks Doc!

Instead of flipping to sex then going back you could have just kept checking on them and once they showed, got rid of the males. When you flipped they wanted to take off so im going with rootbound as well. And if you read about hb, youd have read the part where we're concentrating on the roots in the beginning, not so much whats above dirt. Just sayin

That's weird! I don't think it's lite bleaching. It could have something to do with them drying out and getting hot....remember our plants cannot feed themselves without the microherd.

Give them a good soaking, preferrably by letting them soak in a bucket. 15ml Tea and use 1oz Transplant per gallon of water.

So I replanted last night. They weren't root bound per say but they were getting close, aprox 3/4 maybe a little more of the pots were taken up by the root ball. The root structure is really nice in these air pots, the whole ball seamed consistently packed with roots. Here are the pics I promised, I had just taken the mostly dead set off the night before but you can see it just starting on the bottom set in the pictures. It's probably nothing to worry about it but it was pretty bad on the first set of plushberrys so when I saw it starting to happen again I got concerned.

You're doing great, those are healthy plants.

Remember, in air-pots, the roots turn inward. If the outside is 3/4 covered, the inside is more covered. Your plants will be very happy in larger pots.

I agree and I wish I would of just done this. I was worried about them being so small and worried about getting clones since I don't have any beans of either strain left. They matured a lot faster then I thought they would and I didn't know what to do lol. They have taken off since I flipped them four days ago and they have a monster root ball compared to the size of the plants so they should be good to go. You have some magic in this kit doc. The plushberry is starting to show Trics already only four days since flip... :MoreNutes::goodjob::bravo:

re: Doc Bud - High Brix Q&A With Pictures

Thanks Guys. After looking around at the products and services available here in NZ it looks like I'm going to have to start it all from scratch, following the lead of some earlier threads. I'll have to try to live up to Doc Buds efforts best I cant. At least all this awesome info has set me up with the principles to get started. Emailed the NZ High brix company and soil test lab today. Hope to get a positive reply. Wish me luck.
