No I heard at the beginning was when it shows its true higher numbersā¦ am I wrong??
I believe this is what I meant when I talked about nitrate nitrogenā¦ I miss interpreted the video at 1stā¦ but whatever causes this I do absolutely want to avoid

Idk for sure as I havenāt personally done enough testing myself but most of what Iām finding says if you only check it once a day, check it at midday, which is what I was saying.

Oh right on okā¦ Iām glad we talked about that lolā¦
So to keep brix high and actually manipulate the plant to āstay strongā fulvic acid as a foliar each timeā¦ thatās crazy man how something like that will help it
thatās what I love about bubble hash vs dabs. It feels a lot more well rounded and natural while still being clear and head centered relative to bud

Hereās another thoughtā¦ say youāre checking brix at 2 pm area because lights on are at 6 amā¦ and off at 12 pm ā¦ i wonder what fluctuation happens during the light change from say 18/6 to 12/12 ā¦ and how youād know how to stay on track with previous recordings etcā¦

Well if youāre taking the brix at āmiddayā so 9hrs into veg or 6hrs into flower, Iād think itād be the same?

Thatās my questionā¦ Iām curious to as if it is different because of the changes going on in the plant and light schedule ā¦ @HolyAngel Iām willing to bet photosynthetic demand from light strength plays a part as well ā¦ itās all very curious and intriguingly fun to attempt to understandā¦
So for exampleā¦ say your ppfd increase wasnāt the same amount of dli for the day ā¦ Iād think thereād be a difference

Iāve heard about a modified vice grips technique that is supposed to work pretty well. Iāll look for the link and share when I find it. As for watering, it should be easier to get juice out of well hydrated plants compared to plants during drought. Risk of dilution would be residual water that could contaminate the sample rather than the sap itself being watered down from what Iāve researched, but I could be mistaken about that. Plants high in nitrates would be an exception to this from what Iāve read, that they bring water along subsequently reducing brix.
Also it may be worth considering the barometric pressure of the intake air being supplied to the plants, even if theyāre grown indoors in climate controlled spaces I think it can affect the transport of sugars and such in the plants. If itās rainy or overcast outside or in the near term forecast it could very well be signaling the plants to prepare for the forecasted weather events on the horizon.
Awesome topic @Terpsnpurps. Many blessings and much love

Thank you my friendā¦ I have to agree with the watering and drought differencesā¦ I hope in the end we will all have impeccable knowledge on this allā¦
