Here is another grow using DocBuds kit. This will be my first grow using the High Brix method. Please, Doc, or those with experience, let me know if I stray or misunderstand anything. I will be updating every Sunday until harvest and the final product. I will be using:
Planting in High Brix soil both in tent and outside in the ground. Here is the kit before mixing.
I watered and mixed well. It smelled so good. My other plants sitting around looked jealous so I took some worm castings and mycorrhizal and spread it around my other plants. I let the soil cook for a month on my back deck.
The DarkStar is already in a cup, it is a feminized auto variety so it should be quick. It looks very strange with a stick stem and two tiny leaves emerging. Not sure what happened to this but I am hoping it survives. It's in Docs soil. Anyone have any ideas on this little one?
As for the other seeds, I am putting them in water today then directly in the soil with ROOTS! And ¼ Transplant. I'm not sure it needs to be put into water but I always do this before planting seeds.
Dark Star’s true indica effects are as spacey as its name suggests: a deep, relaxed sensation throughout the body accompanied by a heavy cerebral calm. A cross between Purple Kush and Mazar-I-Sharif, Dark Star is a CBD-rich indica ideal for treating pain and anxiety. This dark--almost bluish--strain was first bred indoors by TH Seeds, and comes as a challenge to many growers with its slow, 10-week flowering period. Its sour-smelling buds are dense and compact, ornamented with crystals and copper hairs.
Green Crack (Green Cush)
Few strains compare to Green Cracks sharp energy and focus as it induces an invigorating mental buzz that keeps you going throughout the day. With a tangy, fruity flavor redolent of mango, Green Crack is the perfect daytime medication for patients treating fatigue, stress, and depression. This is my favorite sativa dominant strain. Green Crack has branched into two genetic lineages, the most common of which is its sativa line descended from Skunk #1. The 75% indica variety of Green Crack is said to have come from an Afghani strain, and is marked by a tighter bud structure. Because its name perpetuates a negative image of cannabis, some people have taken to calling this strain Cush (with a ‘C’) or Green Cush instead.
Y Griega
Also known as Shangri La OG or simply “Y,” the 80% sativa Y Griega is an energizing strain with a sweet floral, citrus aroma. Unusual for a sativa variety, Y Griega produces large, resin-coated buds on tall stalks. This sativa cross between Amnesia and Kali Mist delivers an energetic cerebral buzz followed by a long-lasting calm that soothes both mind and body. Y Griegas high THC content makes it suitable for a variety of conditions including pain, inflammation, glaucoma, fatigue, and appetite loss. Growers won’t be disappointed with Y Griegas yields, but its 85 to 95-day flowering time requires some devotion and patience.
See you next Sunday for my next report.

Mixed up the soil with amendments into two plastic totes.I watered and mixed well. It smelled so good. My other plants sitting around looked jealous so I took some worm castings and mycorrhizal and spread it around my other plants. I let the soil cook for a month on my back deck.

I mixed the soil more than a month ago and wow does it smell good now! We are ready to start with seeds planted in 1 gallon pots. I am using these feminized seeds. 2 Y Griega, 4 Green Crack and 1 DarkStar (auto). I stirred up the soil again just to smell the goodness.The DarkStar is already in a cup, it is a feminized auto variety so it should be quick. It looks very strange with a stick stem and two tiny leaves emerging. Not sure what happened to this but I am hoping it survives. It's in Docs soil. Anyone have any ideas on this little one?
