Doc Bud's High Brix Q&A With Pictures

Hey doc, a guy on IG has been busting my balls about washing. He says I'm replacing dust with sodium bicarbonate, he said is extremely dangerous. I thought was funny. That's the point of rinsing twice isn't.

I ended up pulling right at a pound on my Cherry vanilla cookies from dynasty. Gonna trim and weigh the sour strawberry today, but looks to be at least 12 zips. From what I've sampled, the smoke is awesome, some of best I've ever grown

Don't listen to idiots! Whenever I do a bud washing post they come out and say all kinds of outlandish things.

Baking soda is used in food. It is safe. But none of it is on our buds. Some people are frightfully ignorant and can't be taught or persuaded.
 
Question about moms in DBHBB, I will be on the road till end of March, beginning mid January. Leaving 1 each of 3 phenos to my sons' care. I have clones of all 3 in coco and only pheno #2 and #3 in DBHBB . 4" pots at the moment. I would rather mom them in dbhbb and will need to move one from the coco. Haven't read much about moms in hi brix, but coco is a pain to ph for son, and things go wrong in coco. I have 2 months to uppot and will be gone 2 1/2 months, so they will be 4 1/2 months old before I can take cuts. I have 1g, 4g, (10g) and 15g plastic pots. Lots of time. Anything different to feeds? Would 1 recharge mid way be enough? He will trim down, I just need a few cuts when I return. I picture root bound but happy plants upon return.

Dayum! Those are some great looking youngsters! :bravo:

In 4 gallon pots, you'll have fade issues at that age (4+ months old). The lower growth will degrade, etc, and drench schedules will be tricky.

In 10 gallon pots, they'll need steady pruning. :cheesygrinsmiley:

So it's a matter of which issue you want to deal with. I'd probably go with the bigger size - you'll have a much more robust mother that way. But the smaller pot is definitely more manageable. In bigger pots, they'll wanna be monsters.

:Namaste:


[Edit] :hmmm: This might be a good time to do some mainlining.
 
Thanks. Coco not a problem with small pots. I think I'll go with docs' kit though, for the son. Much more easy. I am sure Doc will chime in on this Monday. Plan is 4" to 1g to 4g , then 15 just before I leave. My son can water and prune. The dbhbb cuts rooted a bit slow and were already red stemmed from rootbound plants, coco cuts were healthy, but always root well for me. Moose and Lobsta tall and short phenos like room for roots. All 3 in flower now, will sample in January.:drool: High hopes!

Of you can show your son how to clone the clones, they will stay healthier than a mother plant.

Oh heck yes! :laugh: I had a Tikal that wouldn't stop blooming, weeks after the harvest window closed.

But what do you mean by "harvest period"? Breeder's numbers? Are the trichs turning?

If not, let 'em run. :slide:

If 20% of the entire mass of a nug, sticks and leaf matter and all, is THC, then any new trichs are nothing but net weight and potency, straight to the bottom line. If they still want to grow you some nice fat calyxes, let 'em do it. :cheesygrinsmiley:

I have an auto right now that started foxtailing :cheesygrinsmiley: It's sister is finished, brown pistils pulling into the calyxes - already chopped the top half - but this one is stacking calyx on top of fat calyx with pretty white pistils on top. That's a lot of weight.

But if the existing trichs are degrading, it may not be worth it.

:Namaste:

For me "harvest period" is indicated by a period after the breeders estimated bloom time where the water uptake slows from a gallon every three days to a gallon every 5-6 days. My trichomes don't amber no matter how long I let them go, so I don't use trichomes to determine harvest.

I have had plenty of plants foxtail in the past, but these don't seem to be foxtails. Lower buds have some red pistils mixed with a bit of white, but the tops are almost all white. Giving them the chop tomorrow as they are 5-6 days between gallons of water.

I really haven't checked triches with scope in long time. After a while you can just tell by looking at them

I have only pulled my out because I was curious but just like you you just know when they are ready

Hey there Walleye, Doc really only recommends you do one transplanting, from 1gal pots to 7gal or larger, after the root ball is full formed. Any more transplants than that and it just causes tons of root stress due to the rootball not being fully developed. But I guess since your clones are started in 4" pots, you will need to do an extra transplant but I believe most here would recommend skipping the 4gal pot... Would be best to leave in 1gal and have a very well developed rootball... then transplant to your final container. Just my 2 cents based on the discussions in the high brix treads. Hope this helps a bit! Have a great weekend!
 
So any idea on what is going on here
Was very happy until I started the new veg water routine.
Up until a week ago I was GE, H2O,H2O repeat
I never actually seen where the change was made but pretty sure doc had
said we could do GE,H2O,TP,H2O repeat during veg to help with mid bloom fade
I did not see this info in the directions in his sig so I deff can be wrong
All environmentals are in check
Strain is Jack Herer (nukehead)
Around 8-9 weeks of veg
78-80f days
69-71f night
Humidity between 45-55%
Needs watered every other day
Also was in the 4-5 mill range when it was just GE so dunking I was mixing 8-10 any less
and She would start to fade
Pots on 2" of foam insulation on floor
Prob a week from transplant was just trying for a doc bud rootball
Will trim to 5 nodes at the time of TP

Thanks. The thing is,these 3 plants will not be flowered and my son is limited to just pruning and watering. I don't think he would do clones, but he is all I got willing to help while I leave town 3 months !:Love: Soon I won't have any spare time so I am stuck saving 3 cuts 4 months. Coco works great but is prone to disaster if not monitored constantly and he is not a green thumb! I will let you know in April of results. Gonna leave them in 15g just before I leave and hope I have a green stem or 2 on each when I return.

If you have bigger pots, that may make it easier. I've never had to leave my girls that long. I gotta start spending some time with mine, veg girls are starting to look ragged lol

I deff know how to fix it just wanted to see if I was messing them up from the change in routine
Thanks for looking
 
I'm not sure why people are having problems, but I think we can get it all straightened out by following the Darkscotia thread.

What do you think of the moose and Lobsta? I have thought about grabbing some but I have the Pineapple fields which uses the Kali Snapple mom with the Ms U dad instead of the huckleberry.

I'm all good doc, I've been trying to stress my clones, just doing some playing. I just hate 1 gals because I've been away so much over past year. Big pots I can leave a lot longer.

. Here's a tester in a 1 gal, she seems happy, all of these testers are looking good
