Congrats on the harvest. I've looked into the bud wash and I'm gonna try it when I harvest.

TanR it's good to hear from you again as well, I just commented to graytail he had been commenting as well as you on my other journal, but I never was able to get im to start one, this is awesome!!!DB
Hey Graytail,
Quick drive by as I've been swamped at work lately. Really love your Hawaiian Snow. I've got two Sativa dominent bag seeds and I've really been struggling with mine. They got way bigger than I anticipated and seem to be super sensitive to the nutes. But those girls of yours are just gorgeous. I've taken some cuttings though and should they turn out to be worthwhile will make another run at growing them.
Don't mean to slight any of your other plants as they all look great as well. I've been interested in Doc's High Brix methods/kit almost since my first day as a member here so I'm excited to see you growing with his kit and will be really interested in hearing your thoughts on the end product.
Be well friend and as always; Happy Growing!
Order Up! LOL

Thanks a ton, stealthgrow!
I like the way the wash sort of plumps up the buds, too - they look great all wet and glistening! And I think they dry better - a sort of firmer, crispier texture to them. I've also been doing a pretty extreme temp difference to bring out color. I just fill one side of the sink with hot water and the other side with cold. Hot is probably 120 and cold 55 = 65 degree spread. I can't wait to try it on a purple - my room will be in the 60s at night this winter.
Your whole grow is really, really nice!!! I did the hot/cold to a pink bud it worked out fantastic, be careful the "cold" bucket gets warm pretty fast. Basically I ended up changing the 3 buckets after each plant. You can make the "final rinse" your first bucket and just change 2. I have 2 purples (gdp x purple power) just starting
Nice!!! I would suspect that if the water were over 150 that the outcome would have been a bit wilted, your temp range is perfect please continue
I need some advice on my plants yellowing a few weeks into flower. It was gracious of y'all not to point it out, thank you, but I did it to every one of them except the Jamaican and I feel really sheepish about it. I remedied it by recharging the 6-5-3 minerals and giving them some fish ferts. Within a couple weeks, they all greened back up, but I'd like to know what actually happened and how exactly to prevent it.
These were the mineralized plants, and the first one to go yellow was the SLH immediately after I gave it the Cat Drench. My first thought was, oops, not compatible with the 6-5-3. I doubted N def, because I had just given them N in the drench. So, I figured I killed the mineral ratios. But after looking into the drench, I thought maybe the microbe shift went bad, which would mean I didn't have a good soil biology. Or, the soil just ran out of minerals, hence the topdressing. Well, actually, not topdressing. I wanted to get minerals down into the soil so I took a wide bladed chopping knife and plunged it down into the soil in a radial pattern around the pot. I wedged it to the side and poured a small slurry of minerals/water down the crack at 8 points around the pot. Anyway, it cleared up. At the moment, Kerala2 is looking pretty bad - shoulda gotten to her earlier.
So, what happened? Why the N def? Do I need to feed more N? How much, how often? I thought the soil should have provided enough N. Will this happen in the True High Brix soil, too?
Yeah bro it just sounds like you might have had a bit of a panic attack on your plants. Rinse them and give them a good tea...NOT THE KIT TEA, save that for the kit. But with the 6-5-3 the t&j tea w/yucca extract hooked things in really nice.
Well actually, the remedy worked. I'm just waiting for the Kerala2 to recover. This all happened 3-4 weeks ago - you can see it in the pics. And they've all been getting alternate feedings of Trans/Tea and Energy/Tea since then with no odd effects. It was the cat drench that sent them into N def - not a good plan for 6-5-3. I want to be clear that Doc never recommended using his stuff with 6-5-3.
But I won't need to feed anything but the kit to the True High Brix plants? Y'all don't add anything that isn't in the directions? Sometimes loadies like me overlook stuff, y'know?
(Thanks ataxian!)
I will use Bloomit from time to time. It helps stop the stretch, really nice for a small area and plants that are going to well to large for it. Otherwise there is no need to add anything to the kit. He's got it covered. Just trust the plan and it'll all go well. I would suggest doing one "by the book" before experimenting. That way you have an idea what "perfect" is. Or just have something to gauge your progress in the experimenting with.
