Doc Bud's High Brix Q&A With Pictures

SweetSue said:
Beautiful, as always Doc. You have me looking at them in a completely different way and those sugar leaves are killer. This is one of the hallmarks of the kit, is it not?

Healthy, resinous buds and leaves are a hallmark of high brix growing for sure. Healthy soil biology and proper minerals and elements in ratio....that's what it's all about.

hmmmm. then maybe I should try it again, :MoreNutes:muaw ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. JK

maybe thats why they are so fragrant today. different from their normal smell.

I have been going per instructions the last two grows and from what I have been reading lately I'm on the lighter end of things. rule used to be 1/2oz and now it's 1/2 to 1 1/2. I had been using between 7 and 10ml depending on the shakiness of my hand.

so todays feeding of GE I went with 15ml for 3 plants.which would be like 1oz for 6. In the middle rather than low.

They seem to be fading in color a bit, but I think its normal fading not from deficiency. 6+ weeks

I was getting a bit of the white tips also. and a few brittle leaves.

upped the LED's about 4 inches. seems to have stopped.
 
It sounds to me like you're working it out HashHound. Better too low than too high IMO, within reason. You don't want to starve them obviously, so it's good you decided to feed that hungry soil. Your learning curve is definitely improved.
 
Hey Doc,, got a schedule for autos??? Or am I Ziggying it? 'I'm running a few autos,, been dying to try on your kit. One candy kush I've got plenty of history with and so far it is rocking,, three weeks old. Not flowering yet,, been real easy on her,, got 1 mil GE and .1 tea yesterday,, no problem,, but she's in a seven gallon,.once used soil.....

I want to ramp it up,, any suggestions???

Much gracious senior ;)

I have never grown an auto.....Ziggy, on the other hand, has explored the limits of both light deprivation AND nutrient toxicity with his brood. He's your guy~!
 
5-6 mil... Getting Ziggy with it. Okie doky...I figured I was being too nice...

Doc, seriously...any thoughts of you writing a book?

Title " If you don't use a DBHB kit you need to hit the Brix..."
 
Just getting the information out there for anyone who may want to dunk their one gallon vegging containers in smaller buckets to conserve product:

As far as I know the big name home improvement stores also have two and three and half gallon buckets. If there aren't any in the store, you can find them on-line.

Say Doc....
On a different subject, I'm about to jump into a hempy-osmocote+ grow.
I got the idea from your grows and I've read thru the thread a few times.
Got any final words of wisdom on the subject before I jump?

Yep. Fine perlite. Keep the temp of the bucket nice and cool.
 
Thanks for the words.
Fine perlite.... I'm using the MG bagged stuff. It's quite fine. Flows out my hole a bit during watering. I've been very happy that MG has quit putting those little balls in it. Sure sucked trying to get rid of those little buggers.
Bucket temps could be an issue. I suspect they'll float around 70f during the winter. This reflects my general grow room temps in winter. When the spring kicks in, I'll be seeing 80+. That's my cutoff generally and starts my non-flowering season. I can't run all the lights and deal with the ambient heat at the same time, so I generally just keep mother plants alive during the summer heat.
Any words as to the impact of higher temps in the osmo buckets? Rot is generally a threat, but I can't see much difference betwixt the osmo and normal buckets in that area. Removing verm has been my answer to that challenge so far. Hmmmm... higher temps might break down the osmo faster.
