If you have more than 3 runs on it, don't bother with recharge. Less than that, you'll need it to finish strong.

Im sure it has more than 3 runs on it Doc. Thanks, I didnt want to waste the product and my plants look more than stellar. I think I got the touch hahaha!!!
Seeds-
-Sink or Swim? when soaking, some seeds sink and some swim or float.. is there really a difference in germination rates?
-How accurate is the sexing of seeds? I havent seen anyones results that tried it.
I've done it before on 4 Regs of different strains. 3 fit the description to a tee and where female, the one male was the closest one that fit the criteria but it wasn't exact. I think it works, look at any femanized seed and they also have the volcano.
I don't know but I suspect the environment may be key to determining the sex of the seeds that don't fit in either the male or female criteria of the video.

I have been doing the seed sexing now for about 100 seeds with about 80% accuracy. That might be improved by me being more picky. I don't know if 100% accuracy will be possible over the course of hundreds or thousands of seeds but it think chances of female are improved. I can not rule it out yet that my results might just be due to good conditions though. I am happy to check each seed I put in soil and happy with 80-85% female from regular seeds.
Good day Doc and Gang. Got a couple Q's. Doc.....What does the "amendment" weigh for one Kit (have a bag of amendment labelled amendment X 2 but can't remember if I've used any of it yet) and i'l be starting a cook with second run soil this weekend but only have reg. amendment...is it , or will it be OK to use instead of third run amendment?I don't have time to wait for you to send me third run stuff. Thanks and have an awesome day Doc and Gang!
I should learn to keep my virtual mouth shut, but I think a kit has 1.5 lbs. of amendment in it.

The weight can vary, depending on moisture content in the air, etc.
Most days, 1.5 pounds is about right, but I've seen it vary up to 1/4 pound! Just take the full weight and halve it, making sure it's all mixed up well.
Thanks Major and Doc. That's what I need to know. I've got a bag already but don't know if it's one Kit's worth , or two! What about it being regular 1st and 2nd run amendment Doc....does it make a whole lot of difference and should I be concerned? Cheers and thanks boss!

There is a first and third run amendment....no second run. So, as far as I can tell, no reason to be concerned!

I believe Duggan is getting a soil that has ran twice ready to cook for a third run.
Yes Doc. , i am fully aware of that. What i'm asking is , can i use the amendment for third run cook? All i have on hand is regular amendment. Thanks chief!
Yes, FF you got it! This batch was the Zamal Hash second run soil.....i'm doing a third run cook with it for next crop. I only have two bartches of soil in rotation...works great! Should have planned better , and grabbed some third run amendment with my last order. This present crop growing now , will also become third run eventually.Cheers Gang!I believe Duggan is getting a soil that has ran twice ready to cook for a third run.

Use about 30% less amendment, spray about half as often, and use a light OG drench during the cook and you'll be OK. The difference in the two amendments are mainly that the 3rd run has no "Plant food" and has a small amount of potassium added back in due to the depletion from the first two runs.
There are a couple other differences too, but you'll be OK just doing that.
Thankyou, that explains it perfectly Doc. Have a great night! Oh ya almost forgot...couldn't get WW castings at my regular place but found a brand called "Enrich 2 Grow" #'s. are like this...
N 1.66-2.06
P .08-.48
K .47-.88
Cal. 2.08-2.23
Mag. .16-.36
Suphur .38-.47
Potash .22-.58
This stuff says all organic and all that .....was a better price than WW too...hope you like the numbers! I was really only concerned with the K, wanting it low. cheers Doc.

Hey Doc! I'm currently using coco in my very first grow, but I plan to switch to HB next grow. You could pm me regarding your kit please? I'd like to get soil cooking soon. Oh, and thanks for all the great info regarding this method. I've learned so much here already.

Yeah, the K is potentiall too high, but for your current situation it might just be perfect.

doc, any idea what the brix on this lemon og kush plant might be? can post a full pic if needed, all leaves are very healthy though. also, this plant grew absolutely incredible with the hibrix kit. Better than any plant I've grown with the kit, so far! was very surprised since it's an OG. it's only been in 12/12 for a little over a month now.

I don't have the OG drench. The plant in the last pic definitely needed some epsoms, I gave some one time that's it. It's starting to slightly yellow, too. Gonna try feeding a tiny bit heavier on it maybe.

I'd venture a guess of about 12 to 14 Brix on the first plant. It's beautiful! Is that 3rd run soil?
You're doing a fantastic job....can't wait to hear a smoke report.
