You come across like a real douchebag in your posts, good luck with that.

With liquid chromatography. But thanks for your skepticism.

LOL!! Part of why I love you lil bro

Namaste'

So don't read. I do this for the enjoyment of everyone. If you don't believe what I say when I say it, I'm
going to take it personally that you are calling me a liar.

"I don't think you can measure that accurately" Come on man, this is the 21st century. And you don't think
we as dispensary owners have to test our products?

thx for provin my point

Cry me a river. Let me know if you need any pointers

Dude for real....I know Shrub's personally and he is awesome people who beyond a shadow of a doubt knows his shit. As proven above reproach by both his documentation as well as the awesomeness of his product. I don't feel he was rude at all and it does get quite old having to explain over and over why you do what you do when your results obviously prove what you know. If you were to question him in a non-doubtful but interested way he would explain it to you with the facts and experience to back it up. I and Shrub's don't agree on everything either but I know he knows his stuff and is one of the most positive giving generous and intellectual beings I have ever met.

So take the time to read what he has documented and I promise you will learn much....

ps- Ras I have learned from your words as well and value your knowledge as well

Alright everyone please relax and take it easy.

I am all confused about when has happened to some of my pictures.

Here are some of what have come out.

I base my harvesting off of trichome coloring alone. I don't care that there are still white pistils on the
buds, everything is about the cannabinoid content, and the most popular studies state that milky trichomes
are the most concentrated. I had seen about 60%-70% milky with few clear and few amber the night before
I chopped.

Temperature and RH are pretty spot on in the dry room.

Chem Sour Diesels coming down tomorrow

And our new Vault

Shrubs,

Thank you so much for all the info on how you prefer to dry and cure! Wonderful! I love learning and hearing how the pros do it! . Thanks for taking the time to answer all my questions bro! Your harvest looks amazing, and i will be using some of your techniques in my own grow.

Thanks again for taking the time out of your day!

I couldn't agree more with how you time your harvest my friend....pssst... really wanna try glass slippers bro

Beautiful as always....

Ay, its my pleasure to have this communication with so many people around the world.

Everyone has the right to grow medicinal herbs for personal consumption. This is a place
for learning. I have a sarcastic sense about me. And if the right buttons get pushed it's all
bound to happen.

I respect everyone who grows these plants however they do it. Reading back, was I as nice as I could
have been? No, but I respond to the being and do not believe what I said was "douchbag" worthy.

More "smart-ass" as my momma always said. But thats who I am, like it or not.

 

[Shrubs First]

Thanks for the answers Shrubs!! Much appreciated man!

Hope all is well..

Something to chew on. Everyone knows what the term brix means right? In case not brix is a term
used to measure the levels of carbohydrates in plants and their juices. Our plants create their own
sugars as a result of photosynthesis. But we are able to provide extra carbs to plants via our fertilization
programs. I have used Sweet from Botanicare, Humboldt Honey ES as well as Hydro, and have been
recently using CANNABoost in my last few harvests. Coincidentally they have been record breaking
harvests. It is interesting because I did not notice an increase in my flower size, or any dramatic increase
in flower sites. But my density has really taken off since I've been using the Boost, especially through my flush.

Then I came across a study from AG Labs International. It really made sense.

I read in the study that foods with higher brix levels have greater mineral density. It goes like this,
one of the most important plant nutrients which increases with high brix levels is calcium.
In fact calcium levels in produce rise and fall proportionately with the brix levels.

In addition to increased calcium levels, high brix foods also supply more trace minerals such as copper,
iron, and manganese. Trace minerals function as co-enzymes in the digestive process. Co-enzymes work
with enzymes as activators of those enzymes. These trace minerals have higher atomic weights. Due to
greater mineral density and the inclusion of heavier trace minerals, high brix foods weigh more per unit than
lower quality produce. Not only that but they will taste better and smell better as well. Definitely experiment
with your carbohydrate sources and find which one works best for you and your setup.

I personally think CANNABoost is doing so well because it is a sugar cane Vinasse. Vinasse is a further
refinement past molasses. A byproduct of Vinasse during the process is Fulvic Acid which is held in the
Vinasse! Anybody know what Fulvic Acid does?

Here's some more jibber jabber from one my text books.

Fulvic acids enter into all living processes within the plant and animal kingdoms. When necessary, they act as "free-radical" scavengers, supply vital electrolytes, enhance and transport nutrients, catalyze enzyme reactions, increase assimilation, stimulate metabolism, chelate and change inorganic minerals into organically complexed minerals, solubilize, energize and transport major and trace elements to the site of need, and demonstrate amazing capacity for electrochemical balance. Fulvic acids are involved in indispensable biochemical reactions which influence all biological life-forms, both plant and animal.
Fulvic acid is a natural mineral which has survived through the many years of evolution on Earth. It is one of the best, and most basic minerals to encourage healty plant growth. It has chemical properties that allow plants to absorb more nutrients, and increases water storage capacity within the plant. Fulvic is so powerful that one fulvic molecule is capable of carrying 60 or more minerals and trace elements into the cells. It also prolongs the time that essential nutrients remain in the plant cells, maximizing nutritional potential. Fulvic acid increases plant metabolism thus naturally increasing growth. Nutrient up take is enhanced when fulvic acid is added to the solution. Plants receive a steady supply of food as they require it. Sediment is reduced or eliminated from the nutrient solution when fulvic acid is added. Fulvic acid discourages binding which can cause minerals to fall out of suspension, rendering them unusable to plants.

Not only is your plant being supplemented with Carbs throughout flowering but
you are also enhancing your plants ability to perform it's natural processes.

Glass Slippers averaged 87 grams per plant, giving me an ounce short of 2 pounds from
10 plants.

So far the Ogers are averaging 70 grams per plant, which is a littler lower, but still acceptable. As
long as I stay at 2 1/2 zips per plant on these the CSD's will take care of the rest.

I'm expecting to finish with 7-8 pounds of Oger99s and Glass Slippers combined. And then expecting
about 10-12 from the Chem Sour D. Should be ending up between 17lbs-20lbs from 12,000 Watts. Not
bad for my first commercial pull.

Congrats shrubs!

indeed, well done my friend

awesome ...sounds like fun and alot of work.....knew you would kick ass

Psst...April? Slippers? ......

excellent. wish i could roll it up and smoke it right now. my own dank must suffice, i guess. good work Shrubs.

edit: after a second gander at the ogre...that nug looks amazing.
