The Bud Washing and Fridge Drying Experiment

I don’t know that I could take any credit other than passing information along. If you look around you can find plenty of info on sulfur, magnesium, and potassium assisting in oil production and some terpene development. The Epsom covers sulfur and magnesium, and most flowering blends provide plenty of potassium when applied properly.

It seems that issues like this pop up in 2 places. Missing elements as discussed above, or sometimes in cases where blend has everything that’s needed but isn’t applied in high enough concentration. Like feeding at reduced strength, or battling lockout conditions for example. This is why you see so many growers aware by stuff like advanced nutrients. When they are applying 10+ bottles its pretty easy to get what you need without having too much of elements you don’t need. Ie substituting knowledge and under with the checkbook lol. The extreme opposite is trying to force a 1 or 2 part nutrient to be on cruise control from start to finish. I’m a firm believer in keeping cost low on nutrients. But you also have to make sure you’re getting all the stuff you need to maximize potential of your room.

Just thumb eyeballing label there’s no calcium, magnesium, or iron in there. And not enough nitrogen to be used by itself. If you’re already into flowering the silica won’t help as much. The calmag will likely cover the missing nitrogen, calcium and magnesium. But, you’re still short on some micros.

Seems like it would be a good product for those using super soils. Most of the hydroponic blends are already going to have plenty of micros, so if one was wanting humic and fulvic I think there are cheaper routes.

I use it once a month. Very low dosage.

Buds from the fridge went into jars last night. They had been in for a week and felt dry enough to jar up. I didn’t want to over dry them. If I find they need to be aired out further, I will do so in the fridge.

I have a decent portion of my harvest in the fridge. I will leave some longer, just to see.
