The Brix value tells you how much dissolved sugar is in a liquid solution. This value is indicated in degrees Brix. One degree of brix means that a hundred grams of liquid solution contains one gram of sugar. So: the higher the Brix value, the sweeter the liquid solution. This means that the Brix value is important for the taste and quality of your end product. But how do you measure the Brix value? And what does it mean for your crop?
A high Brix value indicates a good taste and quality in fruits and vegetables. A crop with a high Brix value can also be preserved longer. Additionally, plants with a high Brix value are more resistant to insect attacks. On the opposite end, a low Brix value might indicate a nutrient deficiency in your plant.

They still need to grow nice and big.
