[QUOTE="SilliamWhale, post: 6181404, member: 1232"] All Brix gives you is a measurement of the sugars in a plant at a very specific time. It could be totally different later on the same day, a week later, week before etc. If a plant is photosynthesising actively its adding sugars (sucrose) so the brix reading can be higher. If its cold, plants slow growing or dark the brix reading could be lower. At the moment its cold so its likely brix readings will be low - by Friday they may explode if its as warm as predicted. Plants being the marvellous little organisms that they are can produce their own chelates which make metal ions more available to them. Better still a good healthy soil with OM has its own chelating properties inherently. Marvellous stuff soil and plants you see - the main nutrient shortage plants have always had for agricultural production has been Nitrogen. [/QUOTE]
