Hi Dave, Using brix in this context is out of our expertise, I think. If they require brix readings, I'd ask some questions about how and why and what are they...
... Yes, brix is relevant to the fresh raw juice of fruits and vegetables. However, all liquids have a density and can be "brixed". Alcohol, oils, vinegar,...

Hi, Rex has said to me in conversation that foliar feeding can make up for poor soil. My question is, if you combine dialy foliar feeding with excellent soil...
Michael, If you are using products that can burn plants, then you should look at the application rates recommended and the frequency of application. If the...
If you have excellent soil, why would you foliar feed every day? Kris ... From: "michael grogan" <leeyousee@...> To: <BrixTalk@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...
I will probably use diluted mineral salts, mostly calcium, although I'm open to other mineral salts as well. I only say calcium because I have heard that it...
Michael, You might want to get some Maxicrop soluble kelp and some Yucca Extract. 1 tsp of maxicrop kelp to 2-3 gallons of water will give you a nice diluted...
No, you won't burn your plants by foliar feeding, unless the mix is so strong that you'd have burned them anyway. Root burn is really more like _choking._ When...

This product is way over rated and does not address the reason why bugs are present in the first place. Bugs are present because the plants are low brix and...
