Hi WheatgrassYogi,
I'm interested to see the results you publish. You are definitely correct that the improvements in the plant from Ocean Grown + Terramin Clay won't show in the refractometer.
The only thing that you'll see in the refractometer is sugars. That means that a younger plant or spring wheat variety would measure high on the brix scale but actually be representative of sugars, not nutrition. We know from our field grown grasses that they harvest naturally with no simple sugars. That said, I expect that if you tested the crops at exactly the same time in the harvest cycle, a higher brix on one vs. another would show more promise.
What are your thoughts on this?
