Doc Bud's High Brix Q&A With Pictures

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:

Von Dank posted a study a couple weeks ago that showed the type of soil had a "significant" effect on terpene profile. What you're suggesting is extremely advanced growing.....I like it.

I just don't know any sources of myco that allow a person to pick and choose exactly what's in the powder. I can tell you that we're all VAM in Roots. Trichoderma is not the way to go for small containers.

Just found this on same site, in the FAQ.

" ..Not all, but certain Fungicides can also damage mycorrhizal fungi. Please see our List of Fungicides and their know effects, to help you pick a mycorrhiza friendly fungicide.
Mycorrhizal fungi actually attach and become part of the plant, they are not free living soil organisms, they require that symbiotic relationship, meaning they will stay with the plant for the life-cycle of that plant. When annual plants die, or a field is tilled, etc those mycorrhizae do not remain indefinitely, they die along with those plants.
3. High levels of available Phosphorous does not harm or kill mycorrhizae, but it can slow there progress. One of the main functions of mycorrhizae is to extract phosphorous. However, if there is already an over abundance of phosphorous available to the plant the mycorrhizae have to reason to “go to work” so to speak. This means they won’t be performing some of their other important tasks like water uptake, and other nutrient extraction as well. You really want to keep available phosphorous at a low to moderate level. This is most important at the time of inoculation when those spores are trying to attach to the plant and assimilating to their new environment. Click Here to refer to our Phosphorous Tips."

Doc, what is the best book you would recommend for understanding optimal soil balance? I've been studying Dr. Reams and Dr Albrecht. I'm looking into buying The Ideal Soil By Michael Astera were he references Dr. Reams and Dr. Albrecht as well as getting soil tests. Dr. Albrecht's book on calcium seems very interesting and maybe more of what I'm looking for. What would you say is the number one book to have on this topic? Thanks Doc, anyone else's suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello Amigo, it sounds that you are trying to re invent the wheel, please dont take that as an insult, all the info is here ! I do salute you for the desire to know more and have answers to problems and questions that even i cant offer, it is perhaps a study of acids and bases including the healthy growth of beneficial micro organisms, ahhhh biology, can it be learned from a book without trial and error in a university classroom and a proffesor ?
The Doc knows this complex biology and the chemical free components that offer massive and success at growing what you desire with great health and bounty.

Have a good 1, Bulldog :peace:

It's cool Bulldog. I have full faith in Doc's kit and plan on taking advantage of it next season. It's fun for me to learn the extreme details of such an interesting subject, I'm just like that. I know Doc Bud has it figured out with international AG lab soil testing and amendment package. You guys have some of the best information on the web!

Doc, in regards to your ROOTS product, how much is enough and how much is too much and why is too much, too much? Thanks
Click to expand...

Enough is 1 tsp per cutting/seed and maybe 4 tbsp per 1 gallon transplant.

You could use 10 times that amount and as long as you mixed it into the soil, you'd be fine. You couldn't grow plants in it....so at some point it becomes "too much," but it's not like too much salt or anything like that. The product has rock poweders, myko, organic material, biochar, k-mag and a bunch of other cool stuff.

The reason it's so important with the kit is because the microbes in the Roots product have been born, bred and trained to eat rocks and digest materials UNAVAILABLE to the plant otherwise. In this way we can get the calcium, massive amounts of phosphorus and other nutrients far better than trying to force feed with salts.

Keeping the same myco population and keeping them on their feed is highly beneficial to the plants....which is why my kit is designed to be used all together.

All of those books are good. There are other sources that distill their work into the nuts and bolts for farmers and these materials would be located on HighBrixGardens.com
