I'll be curious to hear what people have to say about brix
readings "before" and "after" foliar application of compost
teas, based on their experience or field tests.

I think the brix discussion is great, clearly I need to understand brix
better.

Would it be possible to establish a standard curve of how plants
typically fluctuate through the day with respect to brix? Hourly
readings through the day? I would expect that has been done already.
Can you direct me to where to find that information?
