Doc Bud's High Brix Q&A With Pictures

[ShiggityFlip]

trunks, branches and stems can split due to increased osmotic pressure along with rapid growth
-'growing pains'.

Increase osmotic pressure is the key here as Ziggy is saying. Like a hot dog splitting. For this to happen I would think would require suppression of the stomata and lots of water coming into the plant. This means you would have to have a hypotonic solution outside the plant. Hypotonic meaning there is more solute inside the plant than outside. So water desires to rush in to even out the dissolved solute concentrations inside and outside the plant. Too much pressure and we would see that split. Especially if the guttation mechanism isn't allowing that excess sap to go out the "safety vents"and if the stomata are closed off.

What Shiggs said...yes, indeed............

I'm starting another journal to demo the Advanced 650 LED's. I should have it in my signature today.

Lot's going on. Here's an interesing seedling:

I have no idea what went wrong. The rest of the seeds look like this:

Here's the Advanced side of things:

Here's the Gavita side:

Here's a vegging Grape Ape, getting ready for cloning and pre-bloom pruning.

And a Skywalker OG putting down roots and shaping up to be cloned.

Docs New thread is up...

The Advanced DS XML 650 LED: a review by Doc Bud.

seats are fill'n up!! come soon or you'll stand


...come only if you want to see 'ATTIC SHELF' herb..

..never heard of ATTIC SHELF????

me either..

 

[Hash Hound]

don't go throwing out that 3rd soil just yet.

here's what 5th run is doing
Come on folks let's see some eye candy! Here's some for ya

views of the veg room. Plants under both kinds of lighting, etc.

I have a couple clones in Rapid Rooters that I am planning to put into one gallon pots. Any tips? Do we sprinkle with Roots! or just plant in soil? Continue De-Stressing them? Clip the roots that are exposed before planting?

I do it pretty much exactly the way I describe it in the directions. Please do not clip the roots before planting.

 

[BrixNewb]

No idea how I missed that. Thanks!

Let 'em rip! Don't worry about 11/13. You'll just see a bit more Sativa expressed. Maybe less stretch. I've been running 11/13 many moons now.

Doc, I take it you would recommend going straight to an 11/13 schedule at the flip? I just flipped my first HB grow, and have them at 12/12. Would I have better results with 11/13?

Thanks!

Thanks!

12/12 is perfectly fine in every way. 11/13 will bring out more Sativa traits, is all. If you wanted to, drop the photoperiod 10 minutes a day. Or, just leave things as they are and do 11/13 next time.

Running out of words to describe them Doc......looks like the Sky OG will soon be ready for clones. Doc, i gotta ask ....i know it's been talked about alot but Seshan has me wanting to try and give the CD as soon as bloom starts....i'm on the fence with it...just don't want to F up a grow experimenting. He says why wait when the plant is clearly in bloom , so give it when it starts. He's quite adamant about it and insists it's better. I usually like to wait untill the 4th week after bloom starts but, but....he's very experienced with our soil and DBHBB so , dunno...thoughts Doc?

It's a matter of personal preference. I've done it early, late, not at all, and ONLY CD.

I suggest giving it a try and see what happens.

 

[JuanCarlos]

Do it Duggan. It is all about experimentation. You have the kit down, now to find your spin on it.

Duggan, you will get similar results if you keep doing similar things.

Time to swing for the fence..

..in the next ball field.

go for it!!

 

[Governmentchz]

lmao...I gave 3 OG drenches to one of my plants this last round all in week 6 and 7. This phenotype does fantastic in HB soil without it, but ironically, it turned out to be the one my wife prefers.

It's not always easy to experiment when you have only 1 or 2 plants, but if you have the ability the results can sometimes be a revelation of sorts.

 

[Duggan]

I just dunno gang....I'm gonna have to think about it some more. As what's been said , I'm very comfortable with the "Kit" now after 3 yrs with it so maybe it's time to venture out.....we'le see! Cheers gang and thanks for the nudge!

It's designed for experimentation! It was never intended to be a robotic method---not that you're using it that way---but is supposed to experimented with, etc.

I've found that guano and bone meal don't help much. Blood meal is fantastic, drench timing, foliar timing, all of it makes a difference.

Venture out and see if you can't raise the personal bar a bit. Each strain is a bit different and you can alter things however you wish.

Many strains should be grown according to the book, but even adding 2 tblspn of bloodmeal is going to change the terp profile. Give it a try!

Thanks Doc.....Ya, I think i'l give it a go this time around. When the time is right (as soon as bloom starts) i'l give the CD....but I'm thinken to only one pot....while waiting for the fourth week for the other pot. This way i'l be able to see if,...and how much the two pots differ! Thanks so much for your time with this Doc. Cheers and have an awesome day my friend.
