Doc Bud's High Brix Q&A With Pictures

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

Hey VonD, nice canopy there. Three plants...ya...it must look like it's gonna get out there eh? That's a good ,no wait,a great thing!They look healthy and ready to take off .About all the vegetation to deal with...leave as much as possible on them. If youve done everything else right...they will thrive .If possible VD, add more leds. How big are the pots? Is this "kit"soil? Anyhow ,lookin good bro! Cheers:thumb:
 
re: Doc Bud - High Brix Q&A With Pictures

Unfotunately, it´s not Uruguay... Man how would I love it to be Uruguay (not just because of the kit). My country is the thinnest most southern country of SA.
Maybe could you PM me your email? I don´t really want to mention my location here. I would love to know how much your kit cost if you can ship it here. May have more folks interested.

Also could you give me some info on the cationic drench? Got some gals in early flowering by now...

Thank you.

Doc please indulge me for a minute. My high brix grow is gonna start tomorrow. I have sugar punch, 2 carnival and Acapulco Gold soaking as we talk. My soil is 5 weeks cooked and has a fantastic feel and aroma. My one gallons are on stand by and they will get their beans first thing tomorrow.

In the meantime these three plants in scrog are growing great but I'm wondering if my canopy is out of control. There are a crazy amount of flowers and there are surely many leaves as well. I know you're not a scrogger but I'd still appreciate your thoughts on how to manage these hussies. Everyone else please share your thoughts. Do i need to do more defol? I picked leaves before flowering and picked lightly today. Today is day 16 of 12/12. they are approx 10 week strains. light is a 500w actual led.

I think I'd let those rip. Those have a definite high brix look to 'em...looks like a bumper crop.
 
re: Doc Bud - High Brix Q&A With Pictures

Appreciate guys. Psyched to graduate to intermediate level!

Duggan it's not kit soil it's a mineralized mix based on Promix HP. One plant is in a 3 gal plastic the other two are in 7 gal fabrics.

My only other lighting is a couple of 5k 100 actual watt cfls. They are in the veg room. I have grown some solid nugs with this LED in the past but not with that much canopy. The scrog measures roughly 28" x 48".

doc think youd chance hitting them w cat drench?

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

Doc...three days from chop and my one MK hasn't got a bad leaf! Some very slight mag issues...but only up high on the larger buds.Big old fans that are still thriving in low light conditions down below...never seen anything like it.Some leaves have a strange bright green colour to them,still all fake looking. Be glad to see them hanging...soon.:yahoo:
 
re: Doc Bud - High Brix Q&A With Pictures

Von D, i know you didn't ask me bro but on that CD question...it's too early for that !Flowering has only just started there!Give them another two weeks at least. That one youve' got in the three gal pot might run out of gas ...will need some extra attention of sorts eh.Have fun with your scrog Von D ,looks like it'l keep ya busy!:thumb:

Wow!!! I wish i had that problem!!! Lmao!!! What id say is once you have an established canopy id look underneath for suckers and snip em. With a canopy like that you should be concerned with good air circulation.

I think they might really like a cat drench, provided your soil can do it. Give it a good flush, wait 20 minutes and then slowly pour in the Cat Drench.

Those are some really gorgeous plants. Probably in the 13 to 14 range in my room judging by the looks and posture.

Ah.....time flies. I didn't realize you were that far along. That sounds like you're in the zone! I'm surprised you have that much amber...

Doc...I just took a real close look again and it's more like 10-20% amber.This strain really kicks my ass, so a little early will be just fine!The kit soil does seem to prolong things a bit eh. With these two plants...it's like I could let them go another month or so,crazy!

Hemp.....next in line Hops. If you're ordering a soil test (good for you if you are!), tell them you're working with me and you don't have to hide or fib. If you're just curious, no prob.
 
re: Doc Bud - High Brix Q&A With Pictures

What other information do you need to address the calcium nitrate dosage, Doc?
Would I also just use say ammonium sulfate week 7 and 8 then calcium nitrate week 9 with hydrolyzed fish. For a 10 week estimated harvest? I will also use mycogrow mycorrhizal fungus every watering to act as transplant, if that makes sense. Thanks again.

There's no point in using myko every time you water. No need for that.

I don't know how concentrated your CaNo3 is....so I don't know how to advise dosage.

Hey Doc,

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

Hello Doc,
I had over watered plants, some leaves were trimmed off and the plant is slowly coming back to life.
Would you do a foliar spraying with Neptunes Harvest hydrolyzed fish and seaweed fertilizer, or just add a wee bit to the organic soil ?

Many Thanks, looking forward to your reply,

I don't recommend foliar feeding at all unless your soil is dialed in. I like the idea of adding some fish to the soil, but I'd leave out the kelp. Excess K won't help the plant recover from overwatering. Add some myco or tea with the fish and that will be very helpful.
 
re: Doc Bud - High Brix Q&A With Pictures

Doc, do you know if the HB soil mycos strains percentages change from one strain to more of another strain during the different growth phases? Im wondering if different mycos strains process different kinds and amounts of minerals. If it does, then wouldnt finding what these changes are, allow a grower to control the phases and feed the soil (benes) what it needs at the right time for optimal growth?
I ramble, therefore im Sativa'd. :rofl:
