In The Lab With Doc Bud

Hey Doc, I am mapping out my High Brix Summer Adventure on paper. Getting my feeding/transplanting schedule down, stuff like that.

After mapping it out week by week I have a pretty good idea of how the drenches and foliars work and when to use them. But I was also left with a couple question:

1) When I start feedings (once the plants have 5 sets of leaves) should I start at the full 1/2oz Growth Energy & 2.5 mils of Tea, or should I cut it down to half that? Only going to give them water up until 5 sets of leaves. I hope to have them in their final 30 gallon containers by that point, as well as having the initial 1/4 strength Transplant Drench and a normal watering out of the way.

2)Transplant is mostly used after up potting, as well as in bloom correct? So up until buds set I should only be applying the Growth Energy Drench with the added Tea? (I realize some people give it every watering, but I am going to go mostly by the book. Might feed Transplant every watering during latter half of Bloom).

This is how I understand it...

SEEDLING: Water > Water > Water > Water > Water

VEG: Water > 1/2oz Growth Energy (+tea) > Water > 1/2oz Growth Energy (+tea) > Water ... Brix and Destress once a week, on different days.

STRETCH: Water > 1/2oz Growth Energy (+tea) > Water > 1/2oz Growth Energy (+tea) > Water ... Brix and Destress once a week, on different days.

ONCE BUDS HAVE SET: 1/2oz Cat Drench (+tea) > 1/2oz Cat Drench (+tea) > Water > 1/2oz Transplant (+tea) > Water ... Brix and Destress once a week, on different days.

UNTIL HARVEST: Water > 1/2oz Growth Energy (+tea) > Water > 1/2oz Transplant (+tea) > Water > 1/2oz Growth Energy (+tea) > Water > 1/2oz Transplant (+tea) ... Brix and Destress once a week, on different days.

I am growing 2 plants each in a 30gal cloth pot, so I figured I would fill my hose end sprayer with the correct amount and then water each of them evenly until it is gone and their pots are saturated.

Thanks in advance, anyone else feel free to comment on this schedule as well. I am a big advocated of preparation, I start cooking my soil April 1, so you can bet all of April I will be planning and making excel spread sheets of timelines and schedules and what not
