Anthony,
Brix should be the same for the entire plant if it is functioning properly=
, I have found the easiest for grape vines is to take the petioles of the n=
ewest mature leaves, the leaves a difficult to get juice from.
Test regularly ie at the same time of the day. Test Brix before CT applicat=
ion and then 45 mins after. Leave a control area if possible. there needs =
to be 2 hours sunshine min prior to application. Also a few days of low sun=
shine will lower Brix in most vineyards, so make sure it has been plenty of=
 sun the few days prior to testing. It would be really useful if you were a=
ble to record the brix and post the info.
Regards Mike Harvey.
