Well Everyone, Its been a minute since I have had my last grow going and I am anxious to get started with another exciting grow.
I am again shooting for high brix plants and even though I am skipping the most important step for High Brix growing, the soil test... I had pretty high Brix values on my last grow, so taking from what I did last time, updates and info from DocBuds grows, I have mixed the ideas together and will attempt a high brix success... last grow my OG's were hitting up in the 20-22 brix range which is so far the highest I have seen posted online for cannabis, so hopefully I can at least get that if not break that record...
On saturday I spent almost all day cleaning out my grow area... since I had very bad PM issues and thrips last grow, with my gift of the SNS series of natural ingredients, I hopefully wont have any problems. But just to be sure I cleaned my fans walls, lights, intakes and carbon scrubbers with bleach/water solution and let them dry.
I still haven't decided on what strains I want to run this go and I am still trying to find some good blue dream cuts, but have some good OG choices to choose from if I can't find blue dream in the next week
So before my clones I wanted to have my soil cooking for at least a week, longer is better but under my circumstances a week will be probably what they get I can't wait to get started. I mixed up my soil on saturday as well and made a short youtube video which I will post once its done uploading of my soil mixture...
Here is what I decided. ... since high brix involves building up a "dead soil", not really dead, but pretty much nutrientless, I used my main base soil as the Promix HP. I mixed 4:1 ratio with Happy Frog which does have some additives, but in such a light ratio I didn't think it would through off the balance too much.
Here is what I mixed...my total goal was 7x 3 gallon plastics to start in, I will be transplanting them to 7 gallon smartpots before flowering but wanted to reference what I am using for measurement purposes, since I used the 3 gallon pot..
4 pots of promix HP
1 Pot of Happy Frog
1 Pot of Perlite
1 Pot of Worm Casings (with added volcanic rock and sea kelp)
1 Pot of Alaskan Forest Humus
Then for the mineralization additives...
2.5 cups of Calcium Carbonate
2 cups of Soft Rock Phosphate
1.5 cups of garden gypsum
1 cup of lava sand
1.5 cups of greensand
1 cup of humic acid powder
1.5 cups of azomite
1 cup of mycos maximum
1/2 cup of dry molasses
1 cup of high P guano
1 cup of high N guano
I know that this is not quite the "recipe" for truely high brix since I am mixing blind without a soil test, but I went off what I did last time that seemed to work fairly well so I am hoping that it proves this same this time with a few new components.
Here are some of the ingredients that I used in my soil and will be using in the grow.
I am still working out my watering and foliar feeding regiments and schedule but it will be based off what I did in the past and worked as far as raising brix values, and also what doc is experimenting with. I will keep the updates coming when I figure them all out...
