First High Brix Grow

Hi PGR. I'd clip off those yellow leaves. Did you buy the basic kit? Small bottles? If you have 22 or 44 bucks I'd suggest getting a quart of trans bad a quart of GE. You plants need a very heavy feeding. I know it seems wasteful but 30ml of trans plus 5ml of tea in 2.5 gallons of water is what I would give next if I were you. Trans is more important at this stage than growth. Once you up the feedings you will see a marked improvement!

:passitleft:
 
Hey PGR, make sure to follow the kit instructions and do what ween suggested, since your plants are so hungry. I had to pick up more Trans and am currently out of GI myself, so def take that into account.

Same thing happened to me, I was accidentally feeding at too low of a dose and my plants were really under preforming. Once I figured out my drenches were too light my plants took off.

I said the same thing about dunking but it's really not a waste. Some plants can take up to 2ml-3ml of GI/Trans per gal of soil. At 2ml per gal of soil, to dunk 4 plants in1gal pots should only need 16ml of drench (since we double up for dunking) and the plants dont need water again for many days. 16ml to drench 4 plants isn't really that bad, especially with how slow they dry out.

If your really set on not dunking: I know once in flower its hard to dunk so Doc recommends putting half the drench down the top and half in a saucer to soak up from the bottom. I personally dunk until i transplant but may be better then just top watering.

Edit: looking back a page and it looks like I may still be off with my drench dosages. Not sure if i should be vegging with 30ml of drench? Pm sent for clarification on my drench strengths.

-First time growing in ''The Kit''


Seeds planted: 21MAR2018​



Finally have the chance to try out Doc's kit, I don't have access to the recommended peat and EWC, so this will be euro style High Brix and this is what went in:

1 bag First-Run
125L organic peat moss from Pindstrup
15-17 kg worm humus from Los Ridella
A generous amount of perlite
RO water

​
Thanks to Doc for helping out choosing the ingredients, and for a pleasant buying experience :thanks:




More soil and perlite went in after this :)


The soil's been cooking in the slightly cold basement for about a month and a half, and yesterday I filled up four 4L fabric pots with soil and brought them up the grow room to warm the soil a little before putting the seeds in.



Today I prepared the soil for the seeds (hopefully close to the instructions) and the 4 feminized seeds went in:


Forbidden Jelly from In House Genetics (Forbidden Fruit x Jelly Breath)

Crystal Cookies from In House Genetics (Platinum GSC x Animal Cookies)

Banana Crack from Holy Smoke (Banana Sativa x Green Crack)

Malawi from Ace (Landrace Sativa)


​
So still hunting for trichs and terps, and the Malawi adds some sativa fun to the show, and hopefully some very heady ganja to the stash ;)
The Banana Crack was a last call, I had already chosen another, but I've fallen for this strain and its banana terps (I am SOOO gonna grow their Banana Sativa next time)






The setup:


Homebox Evolution Q120 Grow Tent - 120cm x 120cm (4'x4')

Solar & Palau TD-Silent 350/125 extraction fan

Prima Klima carbon Filter 420 m3/h

Acoustic ducting and mini silencer

Secret Jardin Monkey Fan

4x qb288 Quantum Boards 3000K - 4x 288 Samsung LM561C (S06 bin) diodes

1x Samsung Q-series linear light strip DIY lamp 3000K (9x 1' strips) - 180 Samsung LM301B (S04 bin) diodes
​



I'll start the plants up under my newly constructed test build DIY lamp using the top diode on the market, when the plants get bigger they each get a board to play with :cool:

Thanks ween :passitleft:

Tips already look slightly greener on two of the plants :)

Yes, I bought the basic kit, and I would buy some more, but I have to pay $65 for shipping and some import fees, so I'd like to wait until I'm ready for my next full HB order ;)

They're each fully saturated by one litre (25% pot size), so I'll cut it down to around one gallon total for the 4 plants with ~8ml Transplant and 3ml Tea, does that sound like a plan?

They're in fabric pots in a tray, so they'll wick up the run off in no time :)

Welcome joe :passitleft:

Support is overwhelming, and comes from people who don't get paid nothing but a few pics of a lady revealing her special parts :)

Sounds like my kind of army
 
I dont understand why you would abandon the grow? Could you not top dress with some ewc and just water? Or make an ACT to feed them along? I know thats not the high brix methodology, but seems silly to give up on your grow this far along.... May not be high brix final product, but i still landed myself some decent quality stuff from keeping it simple with good soil and water.

Thanks for the suggestion :passitleft:

Without enough product it won't work well enough for my needs, anything not top shelf will be ''given'' away ;)
I hate not finishing stuff I started, but not as much as I hate doing something half-assed :)

Cutting the plants up for clones would give me at least 8 clones of each strain which in SoG could be ready for harvest ~12 weeks after cutting.
Not like a lot is wasted, I'm still gonna use the remaining soil and some of the products, when I'm done with my upcoming phenohunt I can make a big HB order and do it properly ;)
 
Sorry it's not working out for you PGR! I hope you will not give up on the kit. When you have some extra funds, just get a quart of transplant and a quart of growth. Those are the things that run out quickly, especially if you need to do a super or rescue drench or have heavy feeders. I use so much TP that I consider buying a gallon of it but if I did, it'd probably last forever, ha! :rofl:

I'm on the cusp of ordering my next round in gallons, but I like the freshness of ordering more often and shipping is so fast...I'll stick with quarts. I DO order my dry ingredients in bulk too.

I do too Gov, just less often than the drenches. I bought the regular kit, then bought the bulk kit and will have enough destress and Brix until the end of time, ha! I do hate splitting up the dry stuff, wish it came in bulk kits already split into individual packages, I suppose I could just buy 4 small packs, ha!
