- HIGH BRIX FEEDING SCHEDULE -
Alright everyone, using several different posts from "DocBuds High Brix Q&A" as well as his "In The Lab" threads I have put together a precise feeding chart that can applied to any number of pots. I took Major PITA's Foliar Spray ratio and expanded on it, those are my best estimates based on how much of the Foliar Spray I have used in the past.
This schedule assumes that you are following DocBuds recommendation of Solo Cup (not necessary) > 1 Gallon Pot > 7 Gallon Pot transplanting. I also made the assumption everyone with the kit has basic horticulture experience... I did not take into account any of DocBud's specialty products (OG Drench / Fungicide), or heavy feeding plants. This entire schedule is adjustable, so if you have a heavy feeder feel free to bump up the ratios a little.
Also keep in mind I did not give recommended water ratios, that is because we are feeding the soil. Mix the amounts of Drenches and Teas I have given with as much water as you need to get about 20% run off.
Anything written in
RED has to do with Transplanting and Soil maintenance. Anything in
BLACK has to do with feeding.
DRENCH & TEA RATIOS (Compliments of Graytail)
1 GALLON POT >> 0.5 - 1.0 mL DRENCH >> 0.05 - 0.1 mL TEA
7 GALLON POT >> 3.0 - 7.0 mL DRENCH >> 0.3 - 0.7 mL TEA
10 GALLON POT >> 5.0 - 10 mL DRENCH >> 0.5 - 1.0 mL TEA
FOLIAR SPRAY RATIOS (Compliments of Major PITA)
SMALL PLANT >> 1 mL Foliar Spray per 30 mL R.O. Water.
MEDIUM PLANT >> 2 mL Foliar Spray per 60 mL R.O. Water.
LARGE PLANT >> 4 mL Foliar Spray per 120 mL R.O. Water.
THE ENTIRE PROCESS
- CLONES & SEEDS -
Fill Solo Cup with H.B. Soil >> Dig hole for Seed or Clone >> Dust hole with "Roots!" >> Plant Seed or Clone >> Cover and lightly water.
Water >> Water >> Water >> Water >> Water.
De-Stress Tuesdays & Thursdays // Brix Fridays -- @ 1 to 30 mL ratio.
- 1 GALLON: VEG -
Fill 1-gal pot with H.B. Soil >> Dig hole for transplant & dust it with "Roots!" >> Score rootball vertically >> Dust rootball with "Roots!" >> Transplant and cover rootball with soil >> Water (+ 0.5 mL Transplant Drench).
Growth Energy (0.5 mL + 0.1 mL Tea) >> Water (+ 0.25 mL Transplant Drench) >> Growth Energy (0.5 mL + 0.1 mL Tea) >> Water (+ 0.25 mL Transplant Drench) >>
repeat.
De-Stress Tuesdays & Thursdays // Brix Fridays -- @ 1 to 30 mL ratio.
NOTE: At this point you should be watering ONLY when leaves begin to show
slight signs of under-watering.
- 7 GALLON: VEG -
Fill 7-gal pot with H.B. Soil >> Dig hole for transplant & dust it generously with "Roots!" >> Score rootball vertically >> Dust rootball with "Roots!" >> Transplant and cover rootball with soil >> Water (+ 2.5 mL Transplant Drench).
Growth Energy (5.0 mL + 0.5 mL Tea) >> Water (+ 1.25 mL Transplant Drench) >> Growth Energy (5.0 mL + 0.5 mL Tea) >> Water (+ 1.25 mL Transplant Drench) >>
repeat.
De-Stress Tuesdays & Thursdays // Brix Fridays -- @ 2 to 60 mL ratio.
NOTE: At this point you should be watering ONLY when leaves begin to show
slight signs of under-watering.
- 7 GALLON: EARLY-BLOOM STRETCH -
Growth Energy (7.0 mL + 0.7 mL Tea) >> Water (+ 1.75 mL Transplant Drench) >> Growth Energy (7.0 mL + 0.7 mL Tea) >> Water (+ 1.75 mL Transplant Drench) >>
repeat.
De-Stress Tuesdays & Thursdays // Brix Fridays -- @ 4 to 120 mL ratio.
NOTE: At this point you should be watering ONLY when leaves begin to show
slight signs of under-watering.
- 7 GALLON: BUD SETTING -
Cationic Root Drench (7.0 mL + 0.5 mL Tea) >> Cationic Root Drench (7.0 mL + 0.5 mL Tea) >> Growth Energy (7.0 mL + 0.5 mL Tea) >> Water (+ 1.75 mL Transplant Drench) >> Growth Energy (7.0 mL + 0.5 mL Tea) >> Water (+ 1.75 mL Transplant Drench) >>
repeat.
De-Stress Tuesdays // Brix Fridays -- @ 4 to 120 mL ratio.
NOTE: At this point you should be watering when the pot is light but the soil is still damp.
Do not let it dry out for the rest of Bloom.
- 7 GALLON: FLOWER & BUD SWELL -
Top dress each pot with 1/6 (weight wise) of DocBud's Re-Charge >> Scratch lightly into surface of soil >> Water until run off.
Growth Energy ( 5.0 mL + 0.5 mL Tea) >> Water (+ 1.25 mL Transplant Drench) >> Growth Energy (5.0 mL + 0.5 mL Tea) >> Water (+ 1.25 mL Transplant Drench) >>
repeat.
De-Stress Tuesdays // Brix Fridays -- @ 2 to 60 mL ratio.

This is the schedule I will be following. I hope I typed it out correctly because this post took me a little while to make haha. Feel free to ask questions or offer input, if you see something that needs correcting go ahead and say something, preferably before I can't edit this post anymore. Hehe, hope you guys like it!
