It's been great to be able to make the comparison between some pretty darned good mineralized soil, and properly "tuned" high brix soil.
I've grown Kerala and JD in both soils now, and the high brix is simply on another level. My controls haven't been all that perfect - one might assume that I would become better at growing with each successive run, for instance - but the difference isn't all that subtle. I believe it's the soil.
Thanks for doing the groundwork, Doc!
You're so welcome! Thanks for being a "beta" tester and helping all of us become better growers, providing healthier plants and healthier, more effective product.
It's funny how this stuff gets around......I gave an eighth to one of my employees and she took it camping in Big Sur over the weekend. She explained that they were all daily smokers at the campfire, two of them growers.
I got two emails this morning from the growers demanding fertilizer and promises to pay a consulting fee up front if I could show them how to grow High Brix weed.....yes, it's really that good.
I know there are a handful of "haters" out there, and probably more than a few skeptics. (I'd be a skeptic for sure if I hadn't done this yet.) Thanks for chiming in with your experience! It matches mine and almost everyone else who has grown or smoked a truly high brix product.
Better is better. Period.
As you become more familiar with using the kit you'll do even better bro! Expect your next 4 cycles to each be an order of magnitude better than the last. That would mirror my experience, as well as some of the other high brix guys like Curso and Steppenwolf.....yes, it's going to get even better and your friends are going to trip.
The best advice I can give at this point is to stick to the plan and start looking for strains that:
1. you personally like
2. you can grow very well
3. grow well in High Brix soil.
Think pure, un-crossed strains as opposed to "hydro" strains. IE: Nepalese Highland or Lambsbread would work better than Green Crack.......Landrace Afghani or Paki will work better than GDP.....
You'll figure it out and that's more than half the fun.
Have you tried smoking like 10-12 large hits of high brix weed yet? I've found that 3 hits gets me baked and silly......10 hits puts me in my right mind, way beyond "buzzed," definitely not stoned......but clearly high. Very, very high with super clear thinking, creativity and a wonderful sense of self-introspection.
If you do this with your significant other you'll have some fun with the physical aspects of it too!
