re: Doc Bud - High Brix Q&A With Pictures
Doc, when the soil is dialed in, which of the kit components do you think is the major factor that produces the trichs, and terps?
Also, timing of applying...
Im sure phenos also determine quantity and intensity of terps..
Good question.
Minerals
Microbes
Magic
Nothing is more important than the mineral amendment for the soil. This is what gives us the correct soil pH, the right ratio of major and minor elements, and the microbes.
I suppose it's a good time to review:
High Brix produce is dependent on four things:
1. Minerals, especially calcium
2. Trace elements in correct concentration and ratio
3. Soil energy
4. Microbial action in the soil/roots
The Amendment I include with the kit has all that in it. The drenches and sprays are used for keeping the soil energy up and my product "Tea" is used to keep the microbial population strong.
But all of it is in the Amendment. That's the most important component, bar none.
Keep in mind that the Amendment contains very little material that the plant can actually use. There must be myco in the roots for this whole thing to work.
So, we start off with the correct soil....we keep the soil energy at about 200-300 ERGS....and we foliar feed the plant, which will produce root exudates which feed the soil....which feeds the plant....which feeds the soil....holy crap, that's some good weed!
Once the engine starts running it's amazing to watch the plants grow.
