I'm familiar with the concepts but have never measured my brix levels. If your compost is top notch and being replaced as needed, you add some biodiversity here and there in form of act or fungal based teas, have several sources of calcium in great abundance in your amendments/compost one could assume in general you are raising happy, healthy plants. In conjunction your brix levels are probably pretty high.

You seem to have a firm grasp on the matter. If you're using organics you generally can apply the same knowledge to your container gardens as well. I don't know what's possibly lacking in your situation to get you a lower reading than you'd like but I'm sure if you examine the compost quality, what your previous soil test results were (if any, if not that's a good place to start) and your amendment list and tea regiment you'd find an answer with a simple solution.

A brix meter would be nice for relatively quick feedback on cause-effect when using synthetics and/or soluble organic nutes.

Also, I just permanently dropped the price of the CBD tincture down to $29.99

It's the least expensive CBD tincture on the market with a guaranteed strength of 400mg. Now is literally the best time to try it considering the new CBD products that will be dropped next month. (vapes, lotion, lip balm)

So go give some a try! GreenpointCBD.com

I understand where you're coming from. The issue is that I'm trying to achieve this in coco with synthetic nutirents. I think the salinity may be a bit rough on the micros, I also read that salt robs the plant of sucrose. So lower salinity, with higher sucrose may help synthetic nutrient users with achieving a higher brix? Trying to figure these things out. I haven't found much research on this particular area.

@Chunky Stool @quiescent Do you guys think that Brix levels are depended on plant maturity as well? Maybe a cannabis plant stacks more brix in later flowering stages and that's why it can reach higher percentage. Just wondering if I'm chasing my tail trying to get higher then 12% brix at day 16 of flower.

High brix is visually more obvious in mature growth, but I don't think it has anything to do with the actual age of the plant.

Lookin good! My CC doesn't really bulk up the very end. I actually let it go and plan to look through another pack for something that finishes a bit sooner.

I have it in "living soil". Topped it once and let them go. About 2' tall. The other is about 2 1/2'. They were pretty "brittle" in veg. I did get 1 clone because of a "snapped" branch. I will most likely "reveg" the nicer looking plant. I wanna see what it ends up like 2nd time around.
The GPS I have tried so far smells like "Grandmas" house or maybe a "wet" dog. I have flowers that smell sweet too. 1st time growing GPS gear. Can't wait till I can pull some "ripe"flowers.

Alot of Greenpoint stuff smells strong in Veg,Even the males stink.I cut clones off the females i had and tossed all the moms in the trash,I moved the trash out to the unsealed room i use as a garage area and noticed the yard area around the building was stinking,Thought hose came off my carbon scrubber doing air exchange from the flower room,(i exchange air 5 minutes every 4 hours)forgot i moved the trash can.All them plants always smell strong.

It might just be snake oil,but I just saw a bottle of something(molasses for plants) at the grow shop advertised to increase brix levels.i've recently become interested in brix levels too, but I'm in organic soil with other goodies,so I thought the bottle would be unnecessary. It may work for you,seeing that you're in coco.

Gonna be popping some Night Rider this week. My first GPS grow, so I was wondering what the stretch is like on these Night Riders, and if it's worth doing a SCROG with em or not?

If my outdoor Nightrider is any indication, stretch should be roughly 2x and it would probably be a good SCROGer with all the side branching. I topped mine once, and she's pretty round and bushy.

maybe this?

I have to tell you guys this, my buddy will eat anything and saw this jug of molasses one day, decided to take a swig, said I love molasses!! lol let's just say he had his head under the faucet for like 10 minutes... I think the edible kind of molasses is unsulphured I'm guessing this is not laugh out loud not too appetizing!!
