Doc Bud's High Brix Q&A With Pictures

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

so glad to hear you still got a journal up and running,

so im sub'd for sure, great looking plants
 
re: Doc Bud - High Brix Q&A With Pictures

Hey Doc...I just found an old journal of yours ,doing Mk Ultra!!One of your first grows...i think.Since i have made up my mind on MK for my first H.B. grow can you tell me anything in regards to this strain that will help me? As we talked about ,there will be four under 400w. M.H. for first 60 days then an additional 400w H.P.S. right beside the M.H. as i always do. They go from dixie cups to one gal. to 7 gal airpots . Your H.B. program will of course, be followed to the letter Doc.What did you like and not like about this strain? I am going for a high power indica with great medicinal qualities (back pain) and relaxing affects. I also want that great flavour that comes with the OG and G13.Thanks much Doc:)Oh ya...line ups at the P.O. suck...that's for sure eh! Anyhow when you are ready...i'l be all over getting you $ fast! Later.

You can print labels for USPS at home, just need a scale to enter the weight. Just need to set up an account with them. Print the label and have your carrier pick up the package. I hate the line here too. The flat rate boxes are also an option, doesn't usually cost any more if the box has any weight to it, any extra cost is more than worth my time in line.
 
re: Doc Bud - High Brix Q&A With Pictures

OG13...ya eh! I know but ya know everyone these days are in such a hurry.Where i am ...Can....it seems that with all the tech.,it would make things easier...that may be true but why is everybody always in a rush. Maybe another reason i enjoy a puff or two a day:)Slows everything the hell down eh! Anyhow OG, I know shipping is gonna be up there...going through Can. customs and all but Doc's kit is just what i need...:)Been doin this a long time (30) and have never seen the resin content that he has managed to "tease" out of his plants.I just cut down some H.G.K. from D & A and they turned out ...about ...well,good but nowhere near what they could have.All my "people" rave about this latest crop but i was dissapointed.After seing Doc's L.P. ...i got sick...:) i Gotta go for this! Later OG.

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

This is the H.G.K. i was talking about .This was my first attempt at posting pics here,so i hope they turn out!Doc , i let these go about a week longer than the breeder said...it paid off with more resin but they looked like they were in a war, at the end...! Can't wait to have a go with your kit Doc.
 
re: Doc Bud - High Brix Q&A With Pictures

Hey Doc,

I am starting to wonder about why everything continues to "claw" on me. You mentioned over fed and over watered in my journal and this all came about right after I served up their 1st Energy feed 9 days ago. According to my notes the amounts do not seem out of line and I make sure the pots are good and dry before watering or feeding. They were doing beautifully before then and since this came up alot in my outdoor and some clones I am starting to wonder about a few things with my tap water or my feeds(which are always in the refridgerator - can they go bad?). I mix it all up according to instructions with de-chlorinated water. It looks like N toxicity perhaps but could 1 dose of energy and tea bring that on? They were in the 1 gal for the first feed.

So what to do now as a course of action? I have them thirsty as today is the 5th day since the 1 gal transplant watering on the morning of the 16th and was going to just give them water til things get better. How long do you think it will take to correct this symptom? What are your thoughts on a flush? For now I am holding off on all brix/stress applications and going with straight water. More pics in the journal and my gallery if that helps.

Appreciate all that you do.

Peace,

We'll get her packed, weighed and shipped this week bro.
 
Hey Doc, man I'm sorry to bother you again on calcium carbonate but I'm paranoid I'm going to screw this up, I got all my supplies and I'm about to mix and cook my soil. This is all I could find but I would need 3 pounds for 14 gallon and just want to max sure it will be fine before I mixed. Calcium Carbonate 2 Oz.

That's gonna work just fine! Don't go overboard on the rock powders and keep adding them all the time. Top dress maybe once during the grow.
 
re: Doc Bud - High Brix Q&A With Pictures

Doc,

#967?

Thoughts? Pretty sure the old growth with these attributes won't bounce back. New growth not showing these traits. Just getting water for now til I get some feedback. Just trying to understand the clawing that has been prevelant in all my high brix grows. Looking for a plan of action and have stopped feeds and foliars for now.

Peace,

The "claw" us often a result of N toxicity....not always, but often. The reason it "claws" is because the the osmotic pressure required to bring moisture from the roots to the leaves is insufficient due to salt and mineral overload.

Once leaf tissue is damages, sometimes it doesn't recover, but as long as the leaves are green they're still photosynthesizing. Look to new growth to see if the issue is resolved.

Even if you doubled the amount of energy on the feeding it wouldn't do what you have. Are you on well water? Do you have high nitrates in your water supply?

It might be as simple as this: Roots were poorly developed due to over-watering....and now they aren't able to keep up with plant growth.

Here's a "fix" for the claw that works quite well if you get on it right away:

Foliar Feed with Epsom Salts, 2 tsp per quart of water. This flushed the leaves. Give it a try!
 
re: Doc Bud - High Brix Q&A With Pictures

doc's spot on, most problems and lockouts are caused by overwatering, ive not had any problems since giving my plants less water less often, my growth rates have trippled, plant size has trippled and im getting very dense big buds plastered in trichs, compared with the same strains grown 2 years ago when i must of been over watering,

my roots need oxygen as much as they need water so now their drying out properly between waterings im not having any nutrient problems, never needed to adjust ph. over watering stops the roots taking in what they need because they just cant cope.

this might not be your problem and it might be down to to much N, but i know all my problems went away when i stopped watering, now i only water when my pots are top heavy, the soil is totally dry when i water my plants, i dont let them wilt but they dont wilt for a few days even when pots are totally dry,

im very happy with the speed of growth and bud size now, even the trichome production id say has easily trippled, some of my strains ive created are covered and white with trichs,

Using straight tap water that is left out to dechlorinate. I looked up and have my water report. What levels of nitrates are considered high? I was thinking of PMing you my report if you are so inclined. I know you are extrememly busy so I was a bit hesitant to ask.

As far as over watering in the 1 gal pots......I can say that this was certainly not the case. I tend to keep things on the drier side and if I think they can go another day than I let em go. The plants were thriving and when I transplanted and the root zone was anything but soggy. Healthy white roots circling the pot but nothing super crazy. Scored them twice on the sides and broke free the bottoms when I dropped them in.

It has been 11 days according to my hand written journal for the "fix" you suggested with the epsom salt foliar. Is that too far out to try this? The new growth has not clawed and looks good but a little early to tell.

Also.....I was hesitant to foliar the brix and the stress and add to the problem and they are due. Should I continue on with these applications. ?

Flush? perhaps on one of them?

Here is my rookie grower analysis......1 gal pots were getting rootbound, the energy feeds uptake magnified under this condition, like an idiot I gave them a follow up dribbling the next day with more energy because they devoured it and were dry, not much 3-6oz if I had to guess and lastly is the wild thai strain a light feeder?

I do believe it is a N tox that I created obviously.

Thanks again Doc for all that you do,

Why not post that water report here so we can all learn about it?
 
re: Doc Bud - High Brix Q&A With Pictures

ok sounds good. It is a pdf file pages 6-7. I have to figure out how to get it on here. I have it saved to my desktop now. Any ideas how to get uploaded would be great.

try and copy n paste the pdf words into word pad or microsoft word then it should be able to transfer ok, or copy n paste small sections into your post on here and it might be ok that way, really not 100% sure as ive never tried to copy a pdf to this site
