Doc, is the issue with the fat roots due to the mycos inhabit the fine wispy roots (eat rocks) and don't inhabit the fat ones much?

Kinda. The fine root hairs are the "happy" roots. That's what the plant does when everything is going right. The thick ones are usually do to a water rich, salt rich environment.

In the first week of Doc Bud's High Brix growing and started a DBHB specific journal. Trying to be super detailed so I can help the other High Brix noobs like me. Looking for and counting on feedback from all the veterans so I can make sure am doing things correctly the first time. I don't have growers ego and welcome constructive criticism. I just want to get things right. Thanks all.

Doc, would you start a single plant from seed? If only to show, anyone following your journalism, how you would deal with a plant starting with the seedling.

So far just about everything you share starts with a clone.

I did a whole round of this Colombian by seed a while back on this journal. I'm not sure exactly when, but it wasn't too long before I started the Advanced LED Journal.

It's really pretty easy to deal with a seedling. Just let it grow, top it, prune it, etc. Not much different than a clone except you're going to get 4 main tops with a seed, rather than 3, 4, 5 etc. with a clone.

Currently, night temps fluctuate between 67.5 and 69......average is 68.
Daytime temps are 79 to 79.5
Co2 is 1000 ppm
rH 45-60 mostly right at 55 but there is some fluctuation when lights come on and off.

Doc

since this is my 4th grow with this batch of soil,

is there any different approach to the feedings?

Lighter, heavier?

Mix it in with the third run of soil. It's got less of a few things in it than the usual amendment. Depending on leaves/roots mixed in use 1/2 to 3/4 lb. of amendment with a bale's worth of recycled soil.

Next run, add nothing. The run after that add some fresh promix and some castings. After 4 runs I retire the soil, but I know some really good growers who go 8 or more runs.

Generally lighter, but don't be afraid to use your intuition, as long as you don't intuit something like "compost" or "Bud Factor X" or something silly.

Today I watered everyone that needed it in bloom with:

Water, 5 mils Tea and 1/2 oz Transplant in 10 gallons of water.
Last night I foliar sprayed with DeStress.

Veg: dunked in a solution of 1 oz Growth Energy, 5 mils Tea in 5 gallons of water. This was poured into two buckets and the plants were soaked. About half the water was left over, hence the double strength drench. I'll save that for a day and use it tomorrow on some other plants that need it.

Foliar sprayed veg with DeStress. Also sprayed clones.

Here's what we're dealing with:

Doc, have you noticed any increased or different terps on your beautiful plants you grow, since using the WA10x?
