High Doc - welcome back to 420 land. hope the trip was goood. It sounds like you’re getting some good ‘roots’ setup down south there for future ‘flowering’
I’m having an awesome growing season - thanks in very large part to reading all (or a lot of - I still have some pages to go) your old Journals and following along here, and more recently lots of other ‘kit’ growers as well. Even with all the mistakes I made this time my grow has turned out really well. I smiled and nodded a couple of months ago when my partner and our garden helper said they thought something might be wrong with my plants becuase they looked really shiny
... then neikodog said a couple of weeks ago that my plants looked in high brix territory - imagine how delighted I am to hear that! I’ve not been able to push them the way i’d like to during flower - I ran out of some of my homemade drenches and teas - but nonetheless I’m really happy. Some way of using the kit is definitely in my future but meantime, I’m really enjoying trying to implement some of the things you discovered when working it all out. It’s not a kit grow but hopefully you wont mind if I share a pic or 2 here... (and I’m not claiming they’re high brix, I have no way to measure it - but trying to implement high brix methods over everything else has got me some very nice plants indeed)
