what happens when you flush then? will that lower the brix of the plant? will that decrease potency?
Yep. Flushing would lower brix and decrease quality all around. That's why we don't flush. They don't need it.

I think you might be right about the SBR and I really hope the OG Kush and the Wild Thai are anywhere near as good as they are purdy but some day I am going to do the Doc thing. Just thinking I should probably get past the treatment thing first. I have even scaled down my piddly little grow to be a bit more manageable for me right now. I actually just moved the last girl out of the veg cabinet into the bloom closet (bloom closet... did you catch that...lol) sorry to many pharmaceuticals and this morning and what I meant to be writing here... I have had the same bong for over 30 years... I love my doobies but when I want to get really couch locked... I always reach for Budda... It's not even a budda it's a wizard but I meditate when I go to the Budda. He was made for me by the owner of FreeWheelingFranks in Memphis in 1983 and I think the shop is still there. I haven't been back in many years but any how go shopping I think you will be glad you did....

That's what I figured, which is what I've been doing without dubbing it high brix. Just never got around measuring it. I do not flush, although nitrogen is always present in my flowering mix, cause it's 60% organic garden compost basically. My leaves do not really get yellow by the end of flowering, but I never experienced any problems with taste. This year I soaked my mix for the first time in comfrey + stinging nettle + horsetail tea in full sun to raise it to the next level, and the results are satisfying till this point. Mycos, bacteria and air pots are doing the job. Can you call that color a right color?

A good read for those who already jumped on high brix wagon: The New Agriculture: Part V: Is High Brix Enough?
I'd also recommend reading all the comments. As it's obvious after reading it, even sea water has brix level I'd love to hear your input.
EVerything has a brix level if it can bend light. I've read the little essay there before. Mostly it's just poor logic.
The bottom line is thus: nutrient dense produce is healthier. Nutrient dense produce measures higher brix and will have a higher reading on a refractometer.
There's no way around those facts. These are scientifically accepted facts, practiced by grape growers all over the place. In fact, I was at a winery just last night talking about soils and brix with one of the growers. They take leaf/petiole samples and fruit samples using a Brix meter. Standard, industry wide practice.
our stomach is different than our lungs though.
Ok! Thx Doc!
One thing I'd really like to know if you can grow high brix plant using non-organic fertilizers only as they seem to raise it as well.
I'm down with high brix really and I grow 100% organically, but where is the real advantage? Wine industry is a good example, cause they have standards which growers worldwide should apply in the nearest future. But then, organic wine is usually poor quality taste-wise in comparison with wine produced a non-organic way... while it's usually opposite with cannabis. Then, of course I believe my buds are better than commercially grown stuff, cause I tried both But can you really keep high brix in soil and soiless medium using exclusively chemical nutrients, and have the same results as organic growers? These are questions I'm pondering.
Happy growing guys!
Doc, I agree! Anyone who doesnt want to try highbrix with cannabis should try with other herbs, vegetables for a quick proof of amazing visual and taste results!
My parsley, cilantro, thyme, basil, rosemary, couple types of mint are glowing compared to their non HB grow, even at great farmstands, herbs.
It makes perfect sense, to me at least, to have healthy soil with Mother Natures' amendments to feed the plants..
Our bodies are same..our bioflora are very similar in function to the soil bioflora...it boils down to minerals..
We are beings of living minerals essentially
sorry graytail for OT thread..
All 5 senses are heightened with the herbs. Looks..as mentioned, almost a living green glow..not fluorescent, different..the smell is 3x more intense, even the sound is different to pull a sprig or leaf off,..touch, the leaves are tender, soft yet firm, the taste is amazing..i use less aromatics i.e cilantro, thyme, and parsely to get full intense flavor than if I used other fresh herbs.
I transplanted 6 heirloom Org. Grown tomatoes( started at org farm) into 7-10 gallon pots of HB soil, foliar sprayed same schedule as you list. They have doubled in size in just 10 days..
Im about to pull some heirloom beets grown in 4+ gallon airpot with HB soil grown. Leaves, are huge, vibrant..which are extremely healthy btw for our liver and gall bladder..cook like chard..
And i transplanted some petunias into a pot of HB soil...gave same rx as herb, veggies, friend has same petunia and said whered I get those intense purple petunias? I said we got them together...
He thought his were purple...lol
