Brix readings show the amount of dissolve sugars (sucrose) in organic matter, usually refers to grapes and most commonly measured in winemaking and fruit concentrate usage in food manufacturing.

Hey Grizz que onda? Smoked out on some peppery Panamanian right now. Taking my boy to beach for the sunset.
A brix reading will tell you how much sugar is in your girl. You use a refractor meter to tell you this. Some people feel the more sugar the better as they feel this correlates to health. Last crop I maxed out my sugars so much I could taste it when it was burned. Trying to find the happy medium. JK

I believe it was from arabinose,but I also had a product from Valagro called Sweet. The Sweet amplifies the carboload. Its like mixing alcohol and good drugs. I also had my normal mix of glucose (malted barley molasses) dextrose, and xylose. That will give you simple and complex sugars. JK
