Doc Bud's High Brix Q&A With Pictures

danishoes21 said:
Im glad I stumbled into this, Punto Rojo is one those holy grail strain I've been wanting to see. Do you mind sharing the background of your seeds? like if there is a story behind or from a seed bank? Im really into Sativas and you seem to know a lot about these wild plants. I did some seed hunting myself and I have from Mexico and Jamaica, but never been lucky enough to travel to Colombia to pick up some seeds from one of the finest Sativa lineage in the the south this Punto Rojo.

I have two large fully seeded buds of Colombian Red and about triple that of Colombian Gold....Santa Marta. They were brought in via private jet....long story, not my jet, etc.

That type of plant is my holy grail as well.....it's what I live for as a grower, so to speak. The Gold has kicked my ass indoors so far....I simply can't do it. I had some success with it in the greenhouse a couple years ago.

I did get Willie Nelson to produce a decent crop last year, and I'm hoping the shorter stature of the Red will be easier to grow indoors, especially with the decreased light cycle.

So I used an ounce to 1 qt water. Seemed a Lil heavy very dark. Would cutting that in half defeat the purpose? I used all but maybe 1/8th of it. So sprayed the rest on my Korean dogwood tree it's having major issues anyhow.

So roughly 1 qt of DeStress took care of 12 1 gallon plants and 6 7 gallon plants.

Yep! you mixed it exactly right.

Fruit trees will do especially well with Brix.

Doc, will you be growing your WNs starting 11/13 from seed, or reduced to 11/13 during flower? :)

11/13 from established clone, Zigs.

Korean dogwood .

Had to look that up, Korean Dogwood -- since I have an American and a Japanese Dogwood. The Korean and Japanese are the same, or that is what wiki just said.

I love my Japanese,, the American is problematic. But that cornus kousa, or Asian one is awesome in June.

I had my local nursery owner look at them a couple years ago when they weren't flowering that strong. He told me to get some super phosphate and remove the grass from under the canopy,, and I did and that thing flowers like no other. He said they dont like grass fertilizer, which I don't use much now, but did back then.

Sorry,, back to your thread ;)

Yeah it doesn't like to well live besides main stock. Any exterior branching tends to die off. I placed where a birch tree that was 50 years old was cut down and soil isn't that great. Drains well but has alot to be desired. Hey in my thread could you post the feeding schedule you used for your Japanese

Well I definitely hope you're gonna make it this time. Colombian Gold is onw of these sativas I'd really like to grow. No what am I saying? I'd really like to get a gram of it to smoke :) Punto Rojo on the other hand will be part of my garden this year. I cross fingers for a pheno that will be ready by mid November!

Established clone? As in 18" or you going by node amount? So very Lil veg doc?

I'm talking like 4 or 5 inches......I'm trying to keep the thing less than 5 feet tall.

Try Brix spray! it's loaded with phosphate and fruiting/flowering plants love it. Only apply twice if you're outdoors in native soil.
 
DrZiggy said:
Doc, do you know your soils temperature about 6-8" down? I noticed a growth spurt when I had my small heater blow on the bottom of the pots instead of up in the air. Theyre in tent on slab. Makes sense..slabs suck heat

Too hot or too cold is problematic.

68 degrees is a very good temp for soil.

Thats sounds like an awesome story, seeded buds of foreign lands are like gold to me, I don't mind the seeds they could be landrace genetics cross-pollinated with imported genetics giving birth to crazy strains. But these plant don't do well indoors, they like lots of sunlight and lots of UV and long nights. Im working with a Mexican seed I have been trying to figure out the lineage and so far the closest I've been to anything nearly similar is the Oaxaca family, also where I got the seeded bud was around the area of Playa del Carmen a local told me the plantation came from outside the area.
There is also this amazing Pheno known as the f13 have you seen this pheno 12 leaflets leafs super incredible pheno, I believe its a Oaxaca variation.
 
I deal with lower than ideal temps in the flowering room all the time. For what it's worth, I've recently discovered that I can use slightly warmed up water to water the containers and I think this really helps keep soil temps up. It's much easier to raise the soil temps this way, compared to heating up the soil by increasing air temps.

I'm lucky though, I can use my tap water for watering, so I can get my water what ever temp I want very easily. Others could use a heat mat below a water reservoir or bucket with airstone.

Cold soil is not highly functioning soil.

Doc, anything you do or recommend last week before harvest to add extra frostiness? :)
Edit..Just finish with GE and spray Brix up to last day?

Pretty much. Cool, dry nights can also help, as long as everything is super happy.
