New Moon Over Guawi: A High Brix Journey

I do not think that you should fear the dunking every day at that point. That should be a goal. While dunking every day would be a PITA, it would mean you have the root system you need to have a very productive flower period bud!

Agree :yahoo:but at this rate I may need to start soon :laugh:
I do have the trick up my sleeve to place them in a second outer pot
if needed :rofl:

will Continue from here.

You need to find a woman that is really into scrapbooking or cuponing, you would be the man of their dreams lol. So organized and colorful.

I know ppl actually get to the stage of dunking every day, but would seem difficult to get to that point without issues.
 
holy shit Gazoo, way to make me feel like a scatter brain! Ha! :rofl:


A random page from my notes.

Not at ALL i see all the information is there LOOKS GOOD
Plus remember I am only dealing with 2 plants, Much easier to keep track :)

Here is on of mine from a few years ago

 
Man I just follow the Duggan method and write drenches on a calendar. I will write dates on tags of when I put seeds or clones in soil, but dont keep track of when they are topped or when I take clones. I kind of just wing it other than tracking drenches and water.

So your saying I AM organized!

(in a cluttered kind of way.):rofl:

I wish I could do that but the INNER VOICES wont shut up ;) plus it helps keep me Motivated
I need to see change good or bad otherwise I will loose interest, cant seem to let things just run
KINDA like TIM TAYLOR I want to make everything BIGGER/BETTER

EDIT: I just cant coast, its peddle to the floor

So you are saying everything needs..... MORE POWER! :laugh:
 
So you are saying everything needs..... MORE POWER! :laugh:

Or maybe just the RIGHT amount of TWEAK ;) Just need to figure out which way to turn the knob and everytime
I turn one, another one needs adjustment

Its the Understanding of or Elimination of VARIABLES, but I first need to identify them.:green_heart:
 
OK So I did not do the GUAWI Dunk @ lights ON last night. Still a bit heavy so just did a 2.0 oz
top dribble to make sure she makes it until lights on tonight, should be at my target of 35 oz pot
weight

so far its been
(first 18 days I was using an extra outside pot, slower drying).

First Dunk.........18 days Double TP (started day count from Germination Dunk using clear H20)
Second Dunk......9 days H20 + 0.25 TP
Third Dunk.........8 days GE (Pending tonight, DAY 32 from Pop)

The above is for the Square RootMaker Pot

EDIT BTW the GDP Used 7.7 Oz Liquid weight in the last 24 hrs, nearly a cup a day now

Also since I had anther day I did a DE-STRESS application on both plants. Been wanting to do
this especially with the major hold down I am putting on them. Did notice some distorted leafs
at branching shoots, stress ? not sure but it could also be the fact I am constantly moving the ties
up and disturbing the growing shoots and maybe that's what I am seeing ? but anyway I figure it
cant Hurt RIGHT ?

OH Used Half of what I use for Brix so mixed @
0.45ml De-Stress into 1.0 oz H20
(My Brix is mixed @ 0.9 ml Brix into 1.0 oz H20)
 
Did the GE Dunk on the SQUARE Pot ADDED Double the intended amount
4ml GE + 0.4ml TEA in 12 cups H2O
After 2 Cups down the top and sitting in Dunk for 7 min and drained well, I had exactly 6 cups left over

:yahoo:
Thats 50% in pot, PERFECT
2.0ml GE & 0.2ml TEA into 1 Gal of soil

BTW I see the the ROUND Pot is up to 9.0 oz of liquid weight loss in the last 24hrs
 
OK In my quest to understand these pots I got the idea to see how much of the liquid water weight loss
is due to evaporation ?

Next Dunk I will fill another pot with first run and Dunk it at the same time, place in tent
and monitor how much is just plain evaporation. ;)

Comparing these numbers in the future will help me understand what a
STRONG START
AVERAGE START
OR Problem start looks like

that is according to how fast they increase the uptake

May be able to get a better SCOUTING REPORT at the start and know who to pick in the First Round
 
Read the first few pages and am already hooked! Going back to play catch up now. Good show!
Im in. Sparks.

Welcome aboard Buddy

I need to state the public warning.
It has been reported that HEAD EXPLOSION can be a side effect of trying
to follow my journal

Seems I have a bad habit of posting every idea that runs through my brain ;)

Oh and I think I have been outed as a werewolf as well

It seems I need to change the names of the Plants since I am fairly sure I mixed up the seeds when planted.

I am still not 100% sure so instead of changing the names every other month,
I will just start using the POTS SHAPE

Now instead of GUAWI and GDP
its going to be ROUND POT & SQUARE POT I will figure it out at the END :laugh:

Looks like the ROUND POT (formally known as GDP) is DRYING on a 6 Day Schedule.
I can start to see a pattern of 2 days less each Dunking and if it continues I am looking
at another 6 to 7 days before I'm at single days dunks which BTW will be in the 4th to 5th
week Veg. Trying to keep them in the pots for the extra week of daily dunking may not
be the best approach.

I may need to up-pot to the 2 gal RootMaker pots in between ?
This may be GOOD as it will allow the plants to get used to the 2nd RUN SOIL
Before I do the up-pot to final size pots and flip ?

Damn straight you've been outted!

Measuring water consumption after dunking is extreme! Lol

I tend to agree but since I only recently started using this style pot I wanted to get a good idea of
how it dry's. Plus I now understand how LIGHT the pot can REALLY GET I am absolutely sure
I have been watering to often in the past, Now that I have spent the time to weigh the pot everyday
I have a much better understanding of what is happening
