Journeying Into The Unknown With High Brix
I guess I would have gone overboard based on 6ozs.
I did 1/2 thick of worm castings the first time. It made a silty muck that actually became slow to absorb water so I had to scratch it in again. It's probably better NOT to make a full layer of EWC. I now use about 8 oz.
I think of it as giving the girls a little birthday treat, not a full meal for the soil.
I vaguely remember Doc talking about this crust that forms from a layer of EWC. It's the product of some chemical process? 
In any case, it's a good sort of thing. When it forms, just crumble it up and it'll release what it made into the soil.
I may have gone overboard but I'd add three 16oz cups to my 6 gallon pots. That made a layer about an inch thick. It would take water for about a week or so and then begin to crust up. I'd crumble it and spread it to the sides before I watered and it would help to keep the water from running down the sides, and also distributed some of it down the outside of the rootball.
The crust is our friend.
Break it up and spread it around when it gets too hard. It makes a good mulch for our pots, too - insulates from light/heat and keeps the beasties moist and happy underneath.

I ended up buying the only thing I could get it here fast enough. A two pound bag of ewc. So, I will divide into quarters. 8ozs per plant and water in. Doing 2nd Cat at the same time.

Second Cat Drench Night
They were not happy. They went one day too long without water due me working nights and only home during their nite time. I gave them a little extra water this time to make up for it. I divided up the ewc and watered in with the cat. Hopefully the bottom leaf digesting will stop once they get a trans drench in 5 or 6 days.
They look better by the time I put them away.

Great morning to ya Beamer and friends! Beamer FYI , just a thought for you OK! The Cationic Drench is mostly all Transplant ,...so it's not wise to give a Transplant Drench after the two CD's. OK! After the two CD's. it's best to give straight water once or twice ...then get back to GE OK. Remember the CD is mostly all Transplant (with a couple things added and a couple removed OK!) Cheers and have a great day sir!
I have another question,
The castings I ordered are scheduled to be delivered today, How many cups should I top dress with per plant? I have one 7 gallon and three 10 gallon pots.
Funny thing is, the plant in the 7 gallon is the tallest plant. Although having less soil then the others, it suffers more when conditions are not ideal. 10 gallons does provide more of a buffer against food drought. The 7 gallon plant has been digesting its lower fan leaves compensating faster then the others in 10s.
Some might call that Auto-Lollipopping
These plants haven't had any transplant in over a month just due timing. They need some to boost the herd since the split application of recharge and ewc.
Having said all that do you think I should do a regular trans drench seven days after the second cat or do a super drench?
I use a red cup, like you would use for a kegger or tailgate party. Fill it up with EWC, then put the recharge on top, top dresses one 7 gallon pot. Scratch it in to the top inch of soil.

Those leaves aren't digesting....they're just not getting any light so the plant is getting rid of them.
Do a Super Drench and I' think you'll be about perfect.

Well I went the other way, I put the recharge down THEN the EWC on the top. I don't
suspect it will make a lot of difference but have added this LITTLE Difference to my NOTES.
BTW I do have another QUESTION regarding the amount of TEA we use for
Rescue & Super Drench
Looks liike according to the following directions
The RESCUE Drench is 6 ml of Tea per 1 GALLON of water
and
The SUPER Drench is 10 ml Per 5 GALLON of water
IS this Correct, We use less TEA with the SUPER Drench ?
Is this due to the use of only 1 gallon per pot of the SUPER DRENCH MIX ?
Rescue Drench
1 oz. Transplant per gallon of water with 6 mils of Tea. Feed a solution with this composition to all the plants. It will re-colonize the roots and get things back on track. Do not do this if you aren't having any problems.
Super Drench
1 Cup (yes 8 oz) of Transplant plus10 mils Tea per 5 gallons of waterGive each plant 1 gallon of this.

Makes sense to me. Good day to you sir!
I was thinking low microbial activity. Good to know. Thanks
Just so I understand the reasoning behind doing so, please explain, if you don't mind.

Lol Gazoo! I change the bong water everyday, but I don't clean it til it gets almost clogged so not sure if that really helps.

every few days, superclean out every couple weeks,
then into the freezer to chill for a super cool hit.
It depends on how many bongs we have out.
Yesterday, the wife rounded up 5 bongs to be cleaned - they are still sitting by the sink.
Today, I noticed 3 other bongs scattered around the house

I believe dynamo1 says it well enough. Having that many bongs laying around is a "pipe dream" for me. Weedelicious!

Brix Night Update:
Just a quickie, I did pictures half without flash and half with flash. I am working out my problems as things change. I must adapt. These are from two nights ago.
