I always look in Doc's signature How To Use The Hi-Brix Kit

Doc recommends same strength as GE in 7 gal pot (5-15ml per plant.)

So far I've just done 5ml per plant in however much water.


GSC looks ready for her 2 cat drenches

Thanks, I can work with those numbers.

The GSC had a Transplant + Tea two days ago. I would think she would need at least one light RO before the Cat drench. That would put the first Cat about a week away. What do you think? She is flip + 17 days now.

When to cat drench? There's a thead for that !

I do mine at about the same strength as Rad, mixed just the same way as the other drenches. Graytail taught me to do the drenches and Tea as separate additions, so I always end with Tea, steeped in about 12 ounces of water while I apply the drench. That's when I do drenches, which is every third watering.

I have been steeping the tea in less water for a while, and then mixing into the prepared drench. I will try adding the tea after the drench with more water.

The CBD Shark Shock weighed one ounce. It's not one hit pot but the cbd has a relaxing element to it. I have two clones of her.

There is another Albuquerque trip planned for next week so I will try to have the dwarf Ghost Train and SS tested.

I never know.

Well I managed three pages tonight, more tomorrow.

It is beginning to look like I have some time.

I have been focused on getting familiar with the routine of bringing them to flower. Tonight's conversations has answered a good portion of the questions I had going into flower.

If you read the first 3 pages, you read enough to post pictures and ask questions - That's pretty much all there is for the rest of the thread

 

[Canyon]

Thanks Rad, I decided to finish reading the thread. It goes rather quick with all the pictures. I am picking up some info along the way.

I have decided to order another kit and some extra amendment soon. I have about one gallon left now.

The Way did not come with the first kit. Should I order it?

I watered the GSC and did a Transplant drench on the NMC today.

GSC is barely showing small tricoms now. That will give me the choice of another RO or the first Cat next.

I never know

Doc simply included a small bottle of Way Ahead with my last order. I'd ask him to do the same for you. I keep forgetting to add that too.

I'm sending you a PM.

It looks like the replacement seed order is out of customs "Departed USPS Facility LOS ANGELES, CA 90009".

What is going to still be in the bag?

Two days ago my Extreme plant was due for a Transplant drench. She has had the look of too much nitrogen and a few leaves have yellow tips. Some leaves had edges curling up, others are getting a twist to them.

Looking back to, when I up potted her into the barrel, she had been in 3.5 gal of mineralized soil with a lot of slow release nutrients. After the up pot I thought I had over watered her. Now I am thinking it was just too much of a good thing.

I skipped the Transplant drench and gave her 6 gallons of RO and about a tablespoon of Epsom. Yesterday morning I had about ½ gallon of runoff from that watering. I gave her another gallon and got about 4 oz of runoff after about an hour, so I gave her another gallon. After that I had about ½ gallon of runoff. That is 8 gallons in about 14 hours with 1 gallon of it runoff. I am seeing overall improvement in her looks, so I think it was the right thing to do.

Today was Brix day for the three Kit plants. I skipped it for the Extreme.

GSC was wilting after two days. Did I mention that the humidity is low. She sucked up 2 gallons in about ten minutes.

Tomorrow I will retop the Extreme and get some photos .

Extreme two days after the heavy watering.

This is GSC at +21. Tomorrow or Monday she gets a GE drench. I will have a friend water things while I am out of town. Then a Cat drench about Thursday. That would be about flip+26.

Ghost Train at +57. It is supposed to be a 10 to 12 week plant. I cut the dwarf at 64 days. The buds are not as big as they look. They are rather firm though. I never know.

 

[Canyon]

The night before I left town, I managed to do the first Cat drench on the GSC. Thursday was the second one.

These were taken about four hours after the last Cat. +27

Oh MY!

Extreme just before the second topping.

All leveled and cleaned up.

 

[Canyon]

While I was up North, I had some tests run.

 

[SweetSue]

I swear Canyon, your plants look more like trees than anyone else's. Nice frosting starting on the GSC. She's just loaded with bud sites.

I screwed up my drench schedule, and now I wait to see if it slows the momentum. I may get away with it. You can bet I'll pay closer attention to my documentation procedure from now on. Not a mistake I care to repeat.

Thanks Sue,
She had her first Cat after a Transplant and two ROs. The Bud development has been rapid and dense. Though, the resin development was later starting and is still not up to what I have seen posted for flip+27. It has started to come on strong for about a week now.

The GSC was not topped. It just grew like that. Normally I would have held it in veggie and done a light topping to level it up.

With the barrels and some larger pots, I will do multiple toppings. It gives the roots time to fill the pot and the lower branches time to catch up to the top growth.

The lights I have are not that powerful, though I have a lot of them. And the Mars 600s have a rather wide footprint. That lets me get a lot closer to the lights. I have also found that older, larger plants tend to stretch less than younger plants.

The Extreme needs to be about 4 inches shorter when it goes into flower.

I never know

Everyone has there own way of tracking what gets done with Kit plants. This is what I have come up with.

Everything else gets whatever feels good when I am looking at the plant. That may change. [;>)

Yesterday I took a few pictures that are worth posting, if just for a little color.

Ghost Train flip + 66 days. It is cumming down soon.

Girl Scout Cookie at flip +30, 3 days after second Cat drench.

 

[Radogast]

Nice looking Girl Scout Cookie - She looks like about 40" tall and bursting wth new growth.

 

[Canyon]

The GSC is 58" (69" from floor) and 9" below the nearest light. That is closer than I would like. It is only one leader. I will leave it at least until I see signs of damage.

I am still learning what to expect from this light setup.

I never know.

Bigger buds on a bigger girl then I applaud her growth and support your decision to let her grow close to the lights.
