Doc Bud's High Brix Q&A With Pictures

Well I guess my ladies are getting hooked up again, they got straight water yesterday, and they are almost dry already!
Will probably need water tomorrow... Pretty awesome! Was thinking two straight waters to help clean up the soil issue then back to the schedule. Sound good? Or go ahead and feed next time they are thirsty?

MY Bad, I'm using the wrong terms again. I am apparently not paying attention
to the difference ( rescue vs transplant drench). Thanks for keeping me on track

Drenches are what we do to normal, healthy plants. Rescue Drenches for those that need a rescue....Super Drenches for the rambunctious that eat too much.....OG's for the weird shit.

I'm not seeing a lot of green on the Chocorilla buds these days.

Skywalker and Paki are starting to look similar too. Things is gettin' dialed in.

Question then Doc, my Bangi Haze is starting to get a little crispy looking but she's the only one and she's the biggest. This started after the 2nd cat. Would that indicate she's a light eater and I should just feed here a bit less?

Well, gotta water this morning... So straight water it is! They do still have some yellowing of the leaves even after my rescue drench fiasco.

Clean up the soil issue? Did you spill coffee or something into the soil?

You need to get the microbial population and the roots talking. Transplant drench/Rescue drench depending on a few things. Post pics.

Oh and they are around 73 days old... I stalled the soil a couple of times by, I think, letting them get to dry...?? The second time I did a rescue drench and didn't use the correct amount of water... so stalled them further... that's the fuzz at the bottom of the ball there. Sorry guys, I'll get this down. Just a newb here with the DBHBB.

They were yellowing again just like the last time when you told me to rescue drench them... see I think I let them get to dry... that wrecks the microbial activity and causes them to start yellowing I suppose, at least that makes sense to me. Anyway, I have them a rescue drench but messed up and only out the drenches in half a gallon of water and slips that between the two plants. Well needless to say they stalled like crazy (went from needing water every 2-3 days to 5) but luckily giving straight water on Sunday seems to have helped because they are already hungry again! Thing is, they still have the yellowing but most of that was trimmed off cause I did a bit of pruning last night. Anyway, if you still want pics I'll have to wait till I get home... thank you for your reply Doc!

Letting the get too dry doesn't "wreck" microbial activity.....the Roots! is dry in the bag....

Give them a Transplant drench when they dry out. They'll be fine.

Then please help me understand why they do that when they get too dry... because that's the only time they do it. Is it the stress of getting so dry? And by wreck I just mean it slows them almost to a stop. Messes with them... etc...

Ok, thanks doc... transplant drench it will be.

Are you wilting them? Even if you were, they'd bounce back.

I'm not sure what you're seeing, but it's not because it's too dry.

I think a lot of trouble comes with these fabric pots...are you using them?

Follow the directions for veg watering technique in the directions.

You may be onto something with the Fabric Pots. I have been using the 2
gal felt to try and get a 1 gal root ball but not sure if I am even getting that ?
I like them because its easier to up pot with the felt, no exposed roots to disturb,
but the slow root development could be worse.

This next run I will need to go with all plastic and see if I notice the same early
issue

EDIT: Better yet I will do a side by side, one in 2 gal felt and the other in 1 gallon plastic,
and then both into there own 7 or 10 gal plastic depending on how strong my back feels :)

Yes, both times I let them get to dry and they wilted a little. Not too bad, only about as much as I did the first time to get a feel for the dry weight. But both times they stalled really bad and had some leaves go yellow toward the bottom. But this second time when I messed up the rescue drench, and they stalled, one started getting some yellow farther up as well. It's weird cause it's hard to see unless they are under the Leds and even then it's only a slight discoloration. I have already trimmed off all the lower yellow.

Not using fabric, using regular plastic nursery pots...
I am following the veg water instructions as best as possible. That's why I get frustrated. My environment is good... that's why I was thinking I was just stressing them too much by allowing them to wilt on accident.

But I'm sure with more experience I'll get this down. Sorry for all the trouble Doc.

No problem!

First of all, no more foliars till it's sorted out.

While the pot is drying out, top dress with 2 tblspn of Roots!, a 1/4 inch layer of EWC and a pinch of Recharge.
When the pot is light, mix up a Rescue Drench and submerge, taking some and gently pouring it down the top to water that top dressing in. Let the pot submerge for about 5 minutes, drain it well, tilting this way and that.....

Then pour a quart of pure water slowly down the top, tilting the pot to drain, etc.

That should get it right back on track.

Thank you Doc! I'll go ahead and top dress as instructed tonight, then in a couple days when they are light i'll do the rest as instructed. Guess I really jacked it up to need to do that so early.

Doc
What do you suspect to be the problem here?

And what does this mixture do?

Just asking to learn for my own knowledge.

Thanks for you time my friend
:Namaste:

I was wanting to know the same, just didn’t want to get on Doc nerves... I feel I ask to many questions as is. Thank you for asking!!

Basically, I'm seeing "mid-bloom fade" in a vegging plant. It's a sign the roots aren't happy, so the Rescue Drench and the top dressing should get things back on track.

Keep it warm....nightime temps no lower than 70, humidty up around 55-60. It will recover. Look to new growth.
