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

hey doc had another question on the foliars have you ever tried to use surfactant to help better absorbtion on the leaf surfaces or not a good idea ? thanks

Do not use surfactant with these sprays! They are acidic and will penetrate the waxy surface of the leaves and go into the leaf tissue. Surfactant keeps everything in suspension on the surface of the leaves....exact wrong thing to do for our purposes.

Me two bro's. I'm seeing 4 of you now. BTW, the Lemon Paki harvest that is hanging right now is an order of magnitude better than what you got. Seriously. And I thought what you had was my very best to date....not any more.

I want to see what those look like with your superior photography skills!

Bud Washing!​

Washing your produce is about the smartest thing you can do. I've only recently "discovered" it....I always wash garden produce.....gee, why not wash my favorite herb too?

This process will yield the following benefits:

1.)more even dry, much better cure
2.)pristine, washed trim.
3.)easier harvesting...15% easier IMO.
4.)MUCH BETTER FLAVOR I can't stress this enough. It tastes incredible if you wash all the crap off.

Recipe:

Three 5 gallon buckets. I like the first bucket to be white....but it's not necessary. I just like to see how dirty the water is getting.

Fill all three buckets with RO....a couple inches from the top.
To the first bucket, add 1/2 cup baking soda and just over 1/4 cup lemon juice.

Stir vigorously.

After harvesting the plant, take off fan leaves, dead leaves, wimply buds and leaves that look like they might rot. (shouldn't have any of these) Leave everything else on.

Dip into the first bucket, with the lemon juice and soda. Agitate the buds up and down, try to spin them....make sure they get good and saturated for at least 30-45 seconds.

Gently pick them up, let them drip and drain and put them in the second bucket for 30 seconds, drip/drain and then into the third bucket for 30 seconds. They are fine to hang at this point. Feel free to shake off excess water.

Dry as usual. Thank me publicly here after you try the first harvest. (optional step)

And now some garden shots.

I've discovered how much is too much with the cationic drench. Interestingly, I don't think it hurt the buds one bit....but the leaves have suffered. Some of the plants are quite resinous and getting more so. This is fun!

And finally a rare view of the curing room.

I've already answered that question many times.

I use the sprays in the kit. They are much more complete than just using Amaze or PGR.

Bloomit is like shooting BB guns in your living room. You miss the target occasionally and break something.

Yep I used it bro, I'm leaving it alone this time around though. The 4 plants that got sprayed with it this round got it really early in bloom. If it wasn't included I wouldn't suggest messing with it until you know what the instructions produce.
I've fried a few plants with that stuff...

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

I'm pretty confident as long as I follow the kit instructions it will turn as beautiful as your guys grows are turning out I just like to stay up with everything and any new additional tweaks much respect to Doc Bud, Curso and everyone else who have put the high brix grow to the test and for making it a hell of a lot easier with all your guys efforts all us noobs are not worthy lol. P.S Curso that last cvk was to die for I'm sooooo jealous right now!!

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

Thanks for the washing tutorial. I just washed a Flo with Curso's wash (hot and cold water). I will give you a report. I am guessing the taste and smell will be better. I have smoked the Flo for a while and I should be able to tell a difference.

Amazing pics Doc. I think that Thai the "Champagne" is my favorite.

I need to start printing all this stuff out and putting it in a folder. Washing tutorial, How to use the Kit, etc...

Even Xlr8 chimed in! Thats awesome!

Doc, are you running a sentinel controller for you AC. I cant remember what you had. Or if you remember what journal you talked about it, I can look it up.

Yep. Sentinel CHH4. I put the AC on max but plug it into the controller. Works perfectly.

Hope I get the chance too grow meds of this quality one day doc.

As of now the calcium carbonate that came was turned out to be dolomite again false advertisement stated 97% but the bag says sieved to 54. Is this usable with oc+ or Shuld I leave it out.

And would you suggest brewing my mineral tea in a tea bag method with a old sock or Shuld I mix it in like natures own.

Thanks again

I really don't like dolomite. Most potting soils are pH balanced already, and while the organic material added for fertilizer tends to acidfy the soil, the limestone works better in every way for pH balance, as well as the energy for growth.

As far as the tea goes, it really doesn't matter too much. The important thing is to get the biology going.
