Doc Bud's High Brix Q&A With Pictures

10's are better. I grow in 7's.....

I'll probably buy a 7gal to run one of my plants for next run. Curious what my yield will be vs my 10s. Space for plant growth may supercede my pot size.

Doc, question, how large are your raised beds? My largest plant has been kept flat so the sucker is almost 3ft wide right now. I was making plans to incorporate a 8 x 4 bed for 16 plants, but 2ft per plants seems small now. Edjimicate me!

Yeah, I kinda haven't got all the way through it, almost to the 30s now. There's just so much and it's an evolution of High Brix. But I have other journals I read in between. Still made me laugh.

Starting to rethink running 7s then... :laughtwo:
 
Bigger is better, but handling less soil is also a good thing. I've found I can half-ass my way through seven gallon pots and still get something decent. If I used 10's I'd have less variety in the garden, so I use sevens.
 
26 Gallons ....X 2!.:thumb:

Both you and Ziggy answered that question with statements about how they act. I'm interested in the answer to the question of what signs they show. Can you be a little more specific please?

What signs does a plant show as to why you would need a super/OG drench or epsons?

Good question. It's not a sign, it's more to do with experiencing the end result.

The OG's I've grown look just fine in regular high brix soil. Green, healthy, etc. Their stems aren't as strong as a "regular" plant is about the only thing that's different.

However, the finished product from an OG type is very different in high brix than say, hydro, or salt nutes in coco, etc. So, it's not really a sign you see in growing. It's more like a missing component in the flavor....like missing the meat in the hamburger. They don't come out right in high brix.

Why? Because the roots are terribly inefficient and the plant doesn't really "groove" to the soil the way a landrace strain does. So, using the OG drench, bloodmeal and wayahead10x help create the high soil energy and salt heavy rootzone that these OG's need to perform right.
