A BRIX Boost "Recipe"

When our BRIX readings drop — after heavy rain, a cold snap, or a period of rapid growth — we reach for a simple foliar spray to give the plants a quick boost.

Our base recipe: 1 tablespoon of blackstrap molasses + 1 teaspoon of fish hydrolysate + 1 teaspoon of sea minerals, diluted in 1 gallon of water. Spray in the early morning so the leaves have time to absorb before the heat of the day.

This isn't a permanent fix — long-term BRIX improvement comes from soil biology — but it's a reliable way to support plants through stress.
