Hello again people,did edit the RO for idiots feature last night,but it has done a runner and is lost

So i must say my sorrys as am not doing it again I have also taken on board all comments and replys which i recieved,and shall calm my ass down, Just alittle anyway Mabye!

So lets truck on Nearly forgot,must giv props to DreadyBob,whos article in WW issue 57 about Reverse Osmosis started me off in the first place,and also Jorge Cervantes whos book, Indoor Marijuana Horticulture is very informative,So if one would like a better explanation than mine,buy one of the above.

Now back to the Brix+,one might have came across this in a local Gro shop. It is a wet cure soulution that aids the removal of chlorophyll,increases net weight,density,structure and natural aromas, or so they say!?

It comes as part of, a new one part soulution from Guerilla Gardener,Grow,Bloom and Brix +.Now this is how it works!one can either mist plants with it before and after havest,or dip it in the soulution! I am not happy with throwing £7000 in the bath,and i imagine this is why no1 i know has done it yet!

I think WW are testing this stuff but do not pocess latest issue, so do not know of any progress.I am told it is not Toxic :nuke:And is basically full of carbs?But for the commercial Grower,or newcomer this would be a great product(if it works)It is not cheap around £40-£50 quid for a bottle which will treat about 3Kgs,or so i am told.So i am looking for people who have taken the plunge And can shed some light on the matter . Too many puns,i know!I will probably get replys,saying you have used too many Emoticons!To those i say

Although described as 100% organice I personally think it is immoral to use it. The blurby bollox says it is used to hasten the curing process by speedy removal of chlorophyll. I actually posted this same topic a while back and got no serious responses.
All it is going to be used for or by is commercial grows/growers to bulk up their net weight by a reported 22% if my memory serves me well
BUT WTF would you want to put your hard grown bud in this shit? I can't see how it can improve ya weed. We already live in a commercial world that favors quantity over quality - farming for example. i would not like to see this spill into our world.
Thee is also this shit called Tasty Puff that you put on ya weed to make it taste better! If ya need that ya doing something wrong or smoking soap.
Anyway bottom line - don't use Brixx. I spoke to a guy in a grow shop who sed he only knew of one person who used it and it fucked their weed up.

..their ad agency must be working overtime

Thankyou will take that on board

Never ever used the stuff. and I don't intend to start now.

If I want to increase my yield, and get tastier buds, I'd probably start by making sure that my lighting, intake, extraction, mediums, nutrients, co2 and everything else was being utilised that best it could, rather than spray my buds with a load of rubbish.

If cannabis was supposed to contain 'brix', it would probably have evolved/been created to do so by now.

Brix is a measurement of sugar content .My local Hydro shop gave me this recipe to save mew wasting$200.00
1` large bottle of Coca Cola approx 200 ml golden syrup add 1 litre water and u have home made BRIX

Brix? Didn't she used to be married to Mark E. Smith??

i wouldnt spray my buds with that either!

link dont work

if your just trying to load it with tastey sugars (he says, answering two threads in one) then feed them with sucrose? its the next sugar down in size from lactose, and will get through the root system, making your buds heavyer and sweeter.

odviously it will kill your crop though. probably burn badly, and wants leaving in the past where it belongs.


and for my next trick, im gonna by some coke to drop a teenth in. i bet it ruins it

Guys, what is the deal with Brix? How does one know their gear has been Brixed?

Is there a way to clean it off?

Hi Swirlygirly,

no,you can't clean Brix+ off.

It adds up to about 20% additional weight and is the usual industry standard cut for cannabis.

It leaves a powdery precipitate,you mentioned cornflour,yes,could look like that.

It kills any individual aroma of the pot,once smelt its quite easy to recognise and the buds are usually damp.

It's for crims and nobody should have anything to do with it.

bro u betta get the hell outta here

dont use that shit

its peeps like u that are ruining it for people who cant grow

greedy mutherfuckers

and no i dont think thats a harsh reply

FUCK BRIX+

Edited.... I got the wrong end of t'stick.

I guess at least this proves, Brix or not, the smoke works, .

Edit: missunderstanding

^ I think the offending comment was directed at the original poster vata....

Shit..... I asumed it was for me.... I'm a dick

Apologies, smoke til you choke; all I can say is, supply stress is getting to me.

Sorry!!

Edit: missunderstanding

So would you say thay Brix+ could be one of the adulterants causing the white powdery, substance on quite a bit of commercially available weed around at the moment in England and i believe across Europe
There have been reports of glass, salt, fibreglass and recently i read that microscopic lead particles were being put into weed to increase weight by unscrupulous, evil, gready potential murderers.
Most of the adulterated greenery i have had the misfortune to come across was still moist as apposed to dried and cured and all smelt the same, like commercial weed from back in the day....weak and generic.
The powder once shaken off the bud would compress together but would not burn once you had a small lump of it so is not of a combustable composition so definately not trichromes.
So after reading these posts i was wondering if anyone thought it could be being caused by this product Brix+ as i had not heard of it before but i have only just lept back in the sadle again after a much too long break?

I cannot beleive anyone is even talking about actually using this SHIT in an open forum like its ok to use it

this stuff is the reason people are avoiding import weed even more these days than ever,

i promised myself if i ever see a grower knowingly spraying this shit on his crop i would spray it up his ass.

before i was wise to it a few years back i bought this shit on more than 1 occasion .

to think its on UK crops now aswell .. mindblowing

sad thing is both grow shops round my way say to nearly every bod ..you tried the brix ...we sell it in smaller amount if you want it

and i say

NO THANKS rather have a tiny bud of nice herb the a big solid bud of poo

If it's what everyone thinks it is, I can't believe that grow shops are actually stocking this shit. I've had a couple of pieces of gritweed covered in different things, they were all horrible and thrown away instantly. Turns the weed into hard crusty non properly burning pure shite.

Read more about brix levels on highbrixgardens, very informative. I don't think cannabis growers ever measure it, though it's interesting. The use of for example humic and fulvic acid increases the brix levels of the plants. It can be easily measured:



So, I don't think it has anything to do with manipulating dried cannabis.

so is this crap aplied on the buds like sprayed ?
or is it a feed am confused?

google: brix+

Hi, whazzup,

bit confused,

are you saying this is not the same stuff that people are using to spray there bud to increase yield by (20%) and render it unsmokable,

as far as i know as soon as this shit came on the market the ( grit, sand ,glass, flour,talc,) or whatever you want to call it was all over london/england,

looks to me this has to be the same stuff, and whoever is making it needs shooting...

Hmm it may well be made of organic substances, as in natural, but in the main its a strong sugar solution, with wetting agents and wax products, the recommended way is to spray or immerse the buds on cutting them, some spray a week before cutting, then soak on cutting, the effect is like varnishing. Then it was found if you dried then spun the weed to remove most of the trichomes [a dutch innovation I believe] then soaked the bud and re dry, you got more final weight, the final trick is dust with silica or very fine sand, that can over double the weight. The whole idea is about what is called added value.

What the manufacturer says about the product:-



What a total load of shit. Why would anyone want to smoke sugar let alone any other added product?

The confusion comes from brix being the standard measurement of sugar in plants I think? It is for grapes anyway. Whereas Brix+ is the product this thread's about.

thanks OT, exactly what i thought,

i wonder if they smoke that shit themselves, i dont think so

yep. think you're right. advertised as an innocent stimulant, but if it leaves unhealthy residue to "enhance" weed that's just plain criminal.

Brix levels are not only measured in grapes btw, also in plants.

I was more triggered by the brix level discussion. Found some very disturbing directions for use (soaking your pot after harverst..). Indeed incredible that it can be advertised like that.

low brix why u want grit weed that stuffs horrid

i got some brix covered grit weed if u want it

bloody crap stuff ruins bud

Organic, is it? Well so too is Arsenic, but I don't plan on "bulking out" my next stew by adding a few pounds thereof!
Bah! Bloody commercial cannabis market is so full of rip-off wannabee dope-millionaires


Indeedly!

"I am not happy with throwing £7000 in the bath,and i imagine this is why no1 i know has done it yet!"

Thats quite a lot of weed for a percy grow. For a site who's motto is ditch the dealer WTF is dhit like this doing on here. Know I remember why I started growing my own

It would be more helpful if you'd report such posts to the forum Moderator. Mods cannot seriously be expected to read every single post, and rely instead on folks reporting stuff. Just moaning in public doesn't really help. Where is it you are quoting from?

Sorry just quoting from the 1st post. As other people had read itand replied i thought the moderators didn't have a problem with it. half down original poster

I think you are reading far too much into the OP.
UK420 does not in any way condone., support or encourage the commercial growing of Cannabis. "Dump the Dealer" is indeed our aim and will be for till Normalisation comes. If in future you spy posts you believe contradict this aim, please use the Report button. Thankyou.

had a wiff of it in a shop yesterday and smell's like sweet sherry

Hope you told the shop owner he's a cunt.

quite right!

well not in so many words as he lent me a x-stream propergater to try
but he knows how i think on all of this brix/superbud shit
