Doc Bud's High Brix Q&A With Pictures

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

sounds like you're gonna have some good ones there.

WN#1 is what I'm smoking right now.....exclusively. I made shatter out of half of it and the rest gets rolled into nice joints. It's special herb, in a class by itself. I can't get enough of it right now and really don't feel like smoking anything else.

Excellent Doc!....All your work has paid off,large! Nice to see.The end product is always really nice with sativas,but they just take too long and are a real pain in the ass to handle. Are ya gonna grow any more Doc, or stick with hybrids?

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

To grow:

Afghan/paki stuff. All of it as long as it's pure. Chitral, Kush....all are good.

To smoke:

equatorial sativas, like CG, Thai, etc.

I have an afghan kush special and pakistan valley (aling with many others) on the way
I cant wait to get that paki in 4th round soil!

Hey, I know this was discussed albeit briefly, can one of you guys please explain your process in recycling the soil...from PRE-harvest as that part has me the most perplexed. What gets taken out? What gets left behind? Do you add more plain promix? or do you only recommend mixing in more kit soil if you have it? Is there a key in the process that is least damaging to the biota?

Thanks guys.

Doc, or anyone else, you ever grow any African landrace strains? Waiting to hear back on an order. They sound very interesting.

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

First night of cooking. Mixed 53 gals of peat (rinsed), 30 tbsp of limestone, about 25 lbs of EWC and the ammendment, this turned to be quite a workout while enjoying a clear jamaican buzz .Me and my friend really liked to mix the soil from scrap, we had a good1. The soil finished with a really nice look to it. I picture myself baking a biscuit, I know its gonna end up yummy.
Sadly I couldn´t bring the perlite in time to mix it, I was thinking of getting it during the week and add it maybe next week and remix everything while enjoying some lemonade. I´ve read(TLO by "The Rev") that perlite can help not only to air the soil but as a substrate for the bacteria to colonize. I don´t know if the soil will miss the perlite too much for a couple of days. If its harmful to the biology, I can try to make some time and mix it this week. What do you think Doc?

Too bad you're set on starting in other soil.....I worry the roots won't 'hook up' properly when you transplant. Please put a pinch of Roots in with each seed.

Doc, I had almost the same time frame with a non brix soil as Engorage, and mine adapted quite well.

Starter soil was Promix all purpose. Three weeks with nothing but water and a few drops of transplant in it.
I coated the transplant hole real good with roots. Least transplant shock I ever saw.

Then we took them out of the 7 gl grow bags 2 weeks later and put them in the 7 gl 420grow pots and they never skipped a beat.

And a side note, the clone I took rooted stronger and faster than any others I ever took. It never drooped. Loads of roots in 10 days.
--------
And I added 24qts perlite to my bale BX on my first brix grow and it was fine.

Thank you HH, I will try a similar routine, gonna stick to 7gl grow bags though.

Your container previous to the HB soil were 7gl growbags?

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

Yes I had been using 7 gl grow bags with handles for a while.

I tried the 420grow pots now, and so far so good. A little wider than I like though and no handles.

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

Come on doc you keep talking about the best weed you've ever smoked bust out a nug shot of that ugly bitch!

It's as ugly as Willie Nelson, bro. I'll get some pics. Bag appeal is on the low to laughable side, but aroma is exquisite, taste is superb, and the effect definitely raises your vibration level and gives energy, creativity and intellectual humor....with a tendency to laugh.

It's.....church weed! If you were going to go to church, you would be stoked to feel as good and positive as you do with this strain. At least that's how it is to me and a few friends who have tried it.

Check my IN the Lab thread, and Curso has his recipe posted there, along with mine and I think some others. A small scale grower would do very well to copy Curso on the soil recycling.

Those who are growing perpetually more than 30 plants at a time should be prepared to ditch soil after 2 rounds, with the exception of keeping bales of "rescue soil" around. Basically just feeding it Roots and clippings and roots from harvested plants. I top plants with this soil and tried using it this last round as a bottom layer on 4 Paki's I have going and they've got a slight claw, but are extremely vigorous, green and shiney with brix at 15 and climbing. It's a little too hot....but a very interesting experiment for the OG stuff, along with a drench I'm getting ready to test.

wow....I typed all that? Willie strikes again.

Great info bro. Are you doing High Brix right now?

Hey B.D.....how's the fishin goin?

Hello Duggan,
Fishing gone for crapshoot, the high weather temps are screwing things up for a trophy good genetic slab for the BBQ ! In the duration, I will have to figure out a way to wind down
Yeaaa, Have a great day/weekend

Hey Doc,
Durban poison landrace ?
You ever, or anyone ever attempt, if so what was your outcome ?

Thank You, Bulldog

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

Yes Doc.

4 weeks into 12/12 High Brix.

I mentioned in the earlier post I had started in non high brix soil for 3 weeks then into the high brix for a week, they adapted quite well to the new soil. then flip to 12/12

recharge 2 weeks ago then the last 2 waterings with cat drench.

They are looking good.

Hey Doc...

question for ya.. well sort of a question and I wanted to know your opinion..

I recently tested 3 plants in my tent, all clones of the same mother... 2 of them tested at 21-23 brix and one tested at 17brix..

They have been fed the same thing, same soil, same environment and everything, and the only difference that I can think of is the 2 plants with the higher brix are receiving much more intense light (uMol) than the one which tested lower...

Have you experienced a similar effect where light intensity changed brix levels? do you think that light would have this big of a difference on the plants brix level?

Just thought it was a pretty interesting observation and wanted to see if you have experienced this at all... or have witnessed anything similar.

What's up Ice!

Well, IMO there are two possibilities here:

1. More light maximized photosynthesis which increased sugars, etc.
2. More light and heat dehydrated the foliage you tested which gives a false reading.

If everything was super healthy, shiney and all that, I'd say you grew healthier plants with the extra light. If you had crispy stuff, yellow spells and the sort of thing that happens now and then when things aren't quite right for a week or two....well, you probably just have dehydrated leaf tissue.

I trust it was the first option!

yeah I saw the samples...they were nice leaves. Good game Ice...20 is a benchmark we have all be striving for...

Thank you Doc for your input!! I was thinking it must have been that they were receiving the extra light intensity... but I had to hear the masters input thank you

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

Doc, I posted this on Tavosvo's and Cursos thread..
Maybe one day we can see a 'Top Chef' like grow- where you, Doc, Curso, SGA, Graytail, etc., "The Fellowship Of the HB Kit", all grow the same plant, preferably from seed, at same time, and we see the Masters do their thing.
