im starting to follow now,
the other day i was doing some electrical work, i was using a multi meter, then i got round to doing my plants and i for some reason put the testing sticks from my multi meter into the soil, and i was shocked when i got a reading back on the meter, now when i touched the soil the volts vanished, till the next day when they seem to have come back, would this very low voltage be the microbes working away in the soil, while i was out i took my multi meter with me and tested some ground soil and found no voltage reading, but when i check the compost i have in pots that is not been earthed out to ground i found it contains a low amount of volts, is this the microbes at work

It's not so much the microbes as the minerals and ions created during the chemical breakdown of those minerals.
When we mix the limestone, SRF and gypsum, a chemical reaction takes place that basically forms a battery in the soil. Salts are also conductive (EC).
Too much voltage usually means a salt problem. Too little and the plants won't have enough energy to grow.
Here's what International Ag labs sells:

thanks for telling me how it works, it left me scratching my head, thinking why dont energy companies use this method to produce electric, but the volts are way to low, but all i was using was one of them small screwdrivers that you can touch on wires or poke in plug sockets then you touch your finger on one of the metal contacts on the top of the screw driver and it gives you a rough volt reading, i was just amazed that i was getting a volt reading from the pots, it left me confused for a while, thanks for clearing it up

Okay Doc has suggested a possible name I like more. here it is: Possible name: Grass Roots Hi Brix
So since no thread has been started yet I will take the initiative and Name the the thread the same.
I just feel guilty for hijacking Vape's thread.
I will be copying over some of the info where we have been posting as a reference.

Okay, it's time for another update! Be warned! I'm highly medicated at the moment...so if I say something that doesn't make sense, you'll know why!
Yesterday they all got dunked in a Nature's Own tea and fish/seaweed fertilizer solution. As much as I hated dunking at first, I've now refined the process, and made the whole thing much easier. Don't get me wrong, it's still not one of my favorite things to do...but it's not that big a deal any more.
I may only dunk them from now on. They take on much more liquid when dunked, and the plants seem to prefer it...seriously! They look happier after a dunking! I think one of the challenges of this style in small containers is keeping the soil moist. Microbial activity is dependent on moisture, so I don't like to let the pots dry out like I used to when I was using OC+. Larger containers will hold more moisture and keep the beneficials happier.
So...they've entered the 6th week, and there's not a whole lot going on. They're putting on weight, but I'm not sure how much fun that is to watch...but here they are anyway!
May 23rd
12/12: Day 43
Bloom: Day 37
I thought I might as well start off with the whole SOG this time...
Then a closer pic of the canopy...
And of course, some random buds...
If they are disturbed, the first sent that hits me is lemon! Not the same lemony smell that I get from the Super Lemon Haze moms (I can only imagine what those will smell like in flower!), but definitely lemony. I'll have to go back and read the strain descriptions I posted in the beginning, but I don't remember lemon. I thought they were saying more of a fuel smell... Oh well, I hope you enjoyed the pics!

Great shots, love the colors and the sticky on the yellow leave's as well. Truly Awesome. Are your waxed up like doc's did.
These photos show the plant is vibriant, healthy, and still going. Love this method.
I wonder If I can move my Berry Bomb grow over to the Brix at full strength?
I have a question been rolling around to ask.
If dipping pot is messy and takes some time in the tea is it possible for someone a good drawer to design an eb and flow on the air pots, when dipping completed all Brix draines back to the container.
Im just trying to not get a big messy calderon in the plant room. Does it make alot of mess?
And wondering how much soil the air-pots loose while dunking.

Unbelievable quality there Vape!
RE: smells. High Brix is going to smell and taste different. The terpenes are fully developed and in hgher amounts than a lower brix plant. You're going to notice subtleties in taste and smell that you've not noticed before.
Wait till you see how smooth the smoke is.....
Gorgeous grow!

Wow Vape those girls are looking soo freaking good! Awesome job my man.
I did agree with them on some things. It's scary crazy what is allowed to pass as "organic" when it comes to our food. Just about anyone can meet the criteria and slap an "organic" sticker on the food you are buying. Then be able to charge you 2-3 bucks more for what ever it is you are buying.
Weather or not Organic foods are better for us has yet to be proven. As for if they taste different, Penn and Teller did a blind taste test and more often then not people picked the non organic foods as organic. Now I realize this test can be edited for TV to prove their point. Just watch to show and decide for yourself. Personally there needs to be stricter regulations on what passes for organics, before I see the sense of increasing my food bill 50-100 bucks a week.
The topic of that show and what Vape is doing are two totally different things. Hence why I didn't go into much detail. The conversation was steering towards organics in general so I thought it prudent to tell people to go what that show.

There are guidelines in place to market "Organic" products, or label them. I dont recall the link to the information, as I have been reading so much here lately. But I believe there has been so much depletion in our farming grounds that some of the regulators need to step up and take notice. The Brix test can be traced back to the late 1800's.
The more I learn the better I can help control my health. I am hard on my body per my doctors, But who isn't this day and age. Since our food supplies have been regulated and controlled by our massive government regulations.
With all MMJ helps on disease Im not surprised the Brix process provides much better results for us.

What an amazing grow, the 49 plant scrog is just fantastic and has made me re-think what's possible
I had never heard of high Brix untill reading your Journal, (Hats off and
to Icemud and DocBud too) and can see the obvious benefits, not just for meds but all the food we eat, and the food animals eat before we eat them! I don't just want your plant, I want a high Brix diet.
Your meds look like they will be Top Drawer!!
