Hi I have been working on a brix article over the weekend to go on my website and in my Enewsletter(available in the next few weeks please sign up) and I had a...
Martin, Why would an infrared refractometer measure only sugar, if a prism refractometer measures total solids? Since dissolved minerals don't give much brix...
Martin, This touches on the whole related point that higher brix means more minerals. I was wondering if you or anyone could comment on the following: It is...
Hi Kris Heres a quote that someone put on wikipedia: " When an infrared Brix sensor is used, it measures the vibrational frequency of the sugar molecules,...
... Martin, this surely needs to be evaluated. My digital is back in Maryland. Perhaps you could run some preliminary tests and I'll see if I can duplicate...
Hi Rex Its the multi-wavelength, really expensive refractometers that work on infrared. Unfortunately at present I've neither seen nor played with one. I...
Hi I was wondering if anybody had tested and knew of any food that has been found to have high brix that has been grown hydroponically? I keep hearing about...
I am wondering what the various views of members on this list are in relation to the use of commercial pesticides and fertilizers that are petroleum based. I...
My own personal view is that high brix will make pesticides obsolete, so it doesn't matter what they are made of if they're not used. As for fertilizers, my...
Tomatoes grown hydroponically with ocean water taste better and have a higher brix reading than regular hydroponically grown tomatoes. Also Dr. Mittleider's...

... Scott Crandall was claiming 22+ brix in tomatoes using albrecht methods with Kinsey. Not hydroponic, of course. -Allan...
... Jenn, trying to talk "organic" in a brix setting generally turns out to be a trip into the swamp. Nobody comes back with clean feet. One of the thoughts...
I realize not everyone may have this problem, but we've had a very wet year after 2 years of drought and the pasture is lousy. Does anyone know of an...
Fred, In general most folks in this group would consider any need for pesticides a sign of failure of the system, since high brix plants are not attractive to ...
I wonder if aquaponics would be an improvement? http://www.progressivegardens.com/growers_guide/aquaponics.html I have the feeling that hydroponics is lacking...
In the past year we have lost 14 of our 15 hives of bees and are looking for some answers to healthy and productive bees. One area that we are looking at is...
I believe that high brix foods result from a healthy plant. I also believe that healthy plants will also produce more phytoalexins and other phytochemicals to...
Hi Alan, I wish I could see a 22 brix tomato that is miraculous. I think I differ from most people though because I believe that at least theoretically, food ...
Martin, I wasn't at Acres this year, but have just been reading the chapter on transmutation in 'The Secret Life of Plants' - a 35 year old book with some ...
Hi Kris Thank you for the recommendation, I'll see if I can find a copy somewhere. I completely believe in organic transmutation especially the work done by ...
Hi Thomas I'm glad you are so skeptical and you are right to be so, I believe everything should be able to stand up to scrutiny. I don't know if Organic...
Brix levels fluctuate - Anyone know at what stage the brix values will "freeze" in grain such as oats or in nuts and there is no more chance to raise the brix...
Tom, You are entitled to be skeptical, but calling it a hoax is going overboard. Thompkins and Bird (The Secret Life of Plants) relate the research of many ...
Hi Thomas & Kris I've uploaded a clip from the seminar to the file section of the forum under "sodium transmutation" so you can hear exactly what tainio said. ...
... "Dr. Carey Reams, when he was a college student, tested produce from different locations and discovered that the higher the sugar levels were in that...
To all high brix growers: I am curious of two things. 1)How many people are currently subscribed to BrixTalk and 2)who out there is growing high brix...
Goodness - Eco-farming which is the genre which Reams came out of is the last place I'd be placing bets at a poker table on "peer-reviewed" scientific ...
HI Shawn, I'm not a commecial grower, but in my experience you need the microorganisms to give seeds a good start. I find a combination of sand and fine...
Wow Steve, That response was so full of metaphor and knowledge and sardonic commentary that I am not sure I understand what you mean. Could you perhaps lay it...
