Good morning and HIGH to everyone.:welcome:
Couple of things I wanted to share before I earn a dollar.
Last night I decided to top 3 of my Pineapple Fields as they were nearly a foot tall.

Absolutely Beautiful Stage! Those ladies are loving the HB life!
 
Very healthy Stage. Great example of HB.

Cheers

Sent from my SPH-L720T using 420
 
Looking good Stage!...I'm really getting hooked on watching these HB grows...seriously thinking bout stashin' some cash towards next season and expanding my hillbilly horizons...cheerz!...h00k...
 
Hey Stage, evenin brotha , regarding size of plants /pots / Kit. Doc has mentioned in the instructions that 5 gal's. is the bare minimum for growing using his "kit" and that's flipping very shortly after transplanting into the 5's. If further veg. growth is done , it's wise to have them in a larger pot , like a 7-10 gal. It buys you a little more time before issues arise, it's simple, more soil can support larger plants .Your yield will go up as well. Over the yrs. i've found , the more root space there is, the more fruit they bare, just like the monster Maple tree in my back yard....i had to cut the roots away from the "cleanout" in the basement...:thedoubletake: Anyhow , heard some ramblings of this stuff so i thought I'd throw this out there...cheers and have an awesome night Stage and friends!
 
High there Duggan,
Got two kits already cooked and once I up pot I'll buy another kit.
Was looking to run 10's for my 1st group of 6 ladies.

High Care
Good question. I figure 3 maybe 4 weeks? Uncertain but I will know when I see the structure and number of tops with a decent rootball.

That's the stuff Stage...get them into some bigger pots for the "win"....cheers and have an awesome day !
 
Starting to learn some from you and your grow Stage. I'm in the beginning of a grow so it will be a while before I can use is but I got a kit on the way today. That will give a cook time for about 2 months. I'm gonna do 4-5 with the kit and 4-5 of the same starins without the kit side by side under the same lights just to see, smell and taste the difference. All about making the bestest budz we can!
Learnin from ya man....goood werk.

Right on stage.

I can't consider myself a brixer yet, I must have a harvest and taste before I'll allow myself that title.

I feel that this method has produced a great product. I have held on to some hydro Blue Dream that I plan on comparing to my batch. I look forward to a good brix smoke.
 
Evenin Stage...ya Gaffle, there are many good things about growing HB using DBHBB, but the one that stands out the most for me is the "smoothness " of the smoke. It's just like a fine Cuban cigar compared to a cigarillo. Anyhow , have a great night .:high-five:
 
Good morning all,:nomo:
It's get fried Friday people. :rasta:
The temps have been in the 90's for weeks with no let up in sight.:yikes:
Tent temps are steady at 84 degrees and 47% humidity.
Were at day 30 from seed and the brix chicks were given 1/4 trans and 1/4 tea drench two days ago.
Here is what they look like this morning.

Looks like all of the seedlings are at the 5th node or higher.
Next watering is in 3 days or so. When do I get to spray something? :)
Here are the autos and they are quite limey.
I'll up the ppms in the next watering.

Here is the tent view. Not for nothing...but the Brix chix are kicking auto ass right now. :MoreNutes:

Mornin Stage, ya with the sprays....you can start spraying all the larger ones now bud....just remember to follow instructions with the quantities and only spray once a week to ten days unless it's at 1/2 strength for some reason , then you can spray a little more often. Cheers bud...lookin good! This soil is designed around a foilier program and they (the sprays) really work well because of the soil . Cheers eh!:high-five:
 
Morning brother Duggan,
When do I use the brix spray?
Which kit elements would you use at next watering?
Do you recommend spraying when you drench or no?
Have a good morning. Have a cup of java on me. ;)

Stage...lots of good Q's. Spray Brix every 7-10 days , concentrating on getting a fine mist to the undersides of the leaves(better absorption ). Doesn't really matter when , in the cycle...just don't overdo it. I like to spray on "off" water days. With DeStress , any time your training , transplanting, SC'ing, switching lighting sources from flour. to LED, or any other form of stress use this spray ....if they are not hurting or under any stress, save the spray for when they really need it.
It looks like you have one on the left there that has really droopy leaves...what's up with that one? As far as what to give them next....I would give them a Drench with GE and a splash of tea. Remember Stage...don't feel compelled to always give them something. Alternate the Drenches with two plain watering's between them OK. With this system , it's totally fine to give just water between drenches...you don't always have to give them 1/4 Trans....they will do great without it! Sometimes it gets boring using Doc's gear , but that's a good thing , cuz we're all a lil less stressed when we're not trying to figure out what went wrong....:Namaste:
 
Duggan,
Thx for the prompt feedback and sage advice.
The plant you spotted is my hso 707 truthband. Both of them have droop in the fans but look ok colorwise.
