Hey doc,
Is that recipe based on a 60lb bag of Promix?
Thanks
Yep. 3.8 cu feet. I don't know how much it weighs....just a big cube.

I must be a little slow this week. I read back and I still can't figure out what the broadcast things you are going to order and the nutes?
My current grow is starting to fade just a bit. The explosive growth has stopped of course as it should approaching the end of the 4th week of flower today. And that shiny rich dark green healthy look is starting to fade a bit also.
Although the plants are much larger, the buds seem to be a little smaller than past grows.
Brix readings are still holding at 5 or 6.
Everything was added into the soil before planting this time as compared to the last grow where I was top dressing the minerals etc as I was going along. Do you think their is still a need to top dress with more minerals or nutes?
I am watering twice a week, once with plain water and once with Molasses, Mycomadness, Superfood tab, Snowstorm Ultra, and the last feeding also contained Dr Earth Bud n Bloom.
Also I noticed you got some BPN that you mentioned you are going to do a side by side with, are you going to toss in a few OC+ plants also for comparison?

Note: If you are interested in purchasing your Broadcast...................
Note: This soil has excessive K. Thus compost, manure, grass clippings, and wood products are not recommended. Mulching with tree leaves, woodchips, or straw is okay.
I'm going to do a comparison with the BPN.
What's BPN?
Doc,
I have been using Stump Tea for 2 foliars then 2 Gianormous the 2 more Stump Tea.
So I see even more K is being used with the Gianormous.
I was only going to give them one more Stump Tea and the stop foilar any way since week 5 is approaching.
Ahhhhhh I yearn for the good ole days of OC+ and water.
I have decided to use my cooked soil in the bottom half of the pot and run my OC+ mixed soil as the top half. Trailblazing is after all the most fun part of growing. I am going to test this mix soon with some Coleus plants and may do a first run this year with the original OC+ soil mix for my seed run. I don't want any surprise happening with my somewhat expensive and hard to get seeds.
doc, question: i have a bunch of diatomaceous earth i know its full of trace minerals, would this be useful mixed in my soil whats your take on this?
its called earth grow, it very peaty, supposed to be organic, came from homey d,45-50%
and pearlite,15%
worm gold with kelp and volcanic rock12-15 lbs
coco (rest of the volume)
epsoma garden traditions pelleted garden lime bout a cup
then i put 4 gallons water in a bucket
added 2 cups worm castings
4 tsp bushmaster microbe brew
5 ml dark matter humate tea (bpn)
10 ml bpn bio juice soil activator
10ml bpn farmers pride gro/micro/bloom 30ml total per 4 gallon bout 1/4 normal amount
1tsp,soil moist mycos
2 tbsp grandmas unsulphered molasses
bubble with 6 liters per min pure o2 till frothy head fills bucket
then i inoculate the soil mix and cook a week or two
i have some fresh clones in this mix and i noticed they are growing after only 24-36 hours, no noted shock or stall
]they just started moving fwd,
as for teas i dont know what to use i figured worm and humate (humic/fulvic rich) i plan to follow up with the full bpn 7 part line of organics, so i guess its really just an organic grow,with a hint of high brix as i learn from you how to build the real deal,the d.e. i have is food grade pure snow white in apperance
I'm learning at a furious pitch thanks to you and the rest of the high-Brix nucleus here.
I have two questions. High Potassium levels seem to plague even the most simple growing mediums. My first question is this: It is the ratio (to Phosphate), rather than the absolute amount, that is critical? If the proper ratios are maintained, will Potassium be available without being toxic?
My second question is simply syntax, and before you get frustrated with me I desperately tried to answer it myself. I'm stuck on the word, "broadcast". Does it mean anything beyond the even dispersal of the given amendment(s) within the growth medium?
Thanks for reading.
wow you guys doing these high brix really got me wanting to convert my garden to high brix next season. How well will it do outdoors with a long veg? How do I make soil to last for 6-10 months? +reps for the greatness!
Very much agree with Doc's last post.... I had some beautiful high brix plants going and then I got a little off focus and added too much and now I am dealing with leaf discolorations and my ratio's are probably way off track now, with high brix it seems to me that less is more, literally..
I know I have added too much Ca, Too much sugar and too much compost tea to my soil and now mid flowering I am having issues. I believe in my situation, the abundance of Ca locked out the P and the S and is causing too high of an EC level in the soil... hence my discolored yellow leaves.. at first I thought it was lack of nutrients, but I found it hard to believe because guano's release for up to 3 months and after adding N the situation didn't improve but seemingly got worse... so I pretty much messed up when I did the 6-5-3 (4x) during this grow...too much Ca... Next grow I will only mix this ratio into the soil and possibly topdress once mid flowering I can't wait till we all get this process down to perfect Credit to Docbud for all the time, effort and research that he has put into this style of growing... also love how your doing the BPN shootout
Once we have all figured out this High Brix growing, I have an idea that I would like to colabo with you Doc, that would take that famous to a whole new level
