Got Bugs? Increase Your Brix To 12 And Bugs Will Leave.

[pic book]

feed your plants better and you'll have no bug probs.  got bugs?  you got lousy plant nutrition and bugs is the bonus.  use a brix refractometer (handheld $50).  if you have bugs, your brix reads under 12.  if you have bugs your plant is indicating poor nutrition--not enuf sugar--not enuf energy.

or ignore plant nutrition and hit them with wipe out, either method works.

but top meds have brix of 12+

Interesting...

Lol

this said after you have demonstrated that low brix=good meds?

[pic book]

and low brix =noNO bugs?

12+ in a finished product would indicate a figurative ton of unburned carbs/sugars remaining in the plant material. This causes harsh, black burning, throat irritating smoke. I know you meant to say during their mid flowering though, not at harvest.

Plants cannot uptake sugar but instead count on a balanced diet to produce all of the carbs it needs. Feed the soil, because the plants already know what to do. Molasses, sugar, etc is best used in a compost pile or bubbling tea, as nutritious feedstock for beneficial bacteria, necessary for the breakdown of organic material, and flourishing fungus in a soil medium. when the fungus finally breaks down the mineral rich rocks and bits, elements are released in a form the plants can then uptake. One form is magnesium salts, which is what the plant uses to make "sugar".

 

Everyone I know of that suffers mites admit  they invited them-infected people, plants, cuttings, clones into their garden.

 

I used a refractometer for years daily in my hydroponics systems. Now, I see its just not necessary with an organic approach to soil building. Many hydro nutrients lack quality controls, and some are even made in folks garages.

anyone want to buy a quality refractometer, ph meter, ppm meter too, and mops, fittings, pumps, hoses, nutes.......

but top meds have brix of 12+

No i just thought it was funny.

It's true, healthier plants are more bug resistant.
