i just got a refractometer, to understand the brix levels in my plants, i did know know where to post this thread, im trying to learn more on how to increase my brix level. it reads about 9. thank you
I used to use a pair of Vise Grips and 2 metal pates. Worked great for the couple drops that were needed.Today I got no data, because trying to extract a couple of drips from a leaf, isn't as easy as it at first sounds. Labs freeze and defrost with liquid nitrogen, to break the cells. Having first put the leaves in syringes, which are then good enough to do the crushing. Me, I'm stacking cm squares on metal plates, to crush with G-clamps. All I got was a sore hand today. I need to do better. Enough leaves and a garlic press might work, but I can spare just one a day, and never had a decent bench vice
Oh, you have had a pop at this. What range of numbers were you seeing? It's so rarely spoke about, that I don't really have an affirmed targetI used to use a pair of Vise Grips and 2 metal pates. Worked great for the couple drops that were needed.
Based on brix tests on healthy cannabis plants that have produced a high quality product, a reading of 20 brix would be considered a healthy cannabis plant, but a lower brix reading does not give any direct indication as to what could be adversely affecting the plant whether its pest pressure, disease, water stress, or any other potential issues
