Hydroponic technologies offer an alternative way to cultivate cherry tomatoes in times when a downfall is seen in productive agricultural land. This research aims to know the correlation between the Brix value of cherry tomatoes and AB mix concentration by a hydroponic wick system. The research method used was an experimental method using a factorial Randomised Block Design. The treatments consisted of K1 = 1900 ppm, K2 = 2700 ppm, K3 = 3500 ppm, S1 = felt, S2 = wool yarn, S3 = stove wick, S4 = cotton rope. Each treatment was repeated thrice. The result showed that the concentration of AB mix solution at 3500 ppm (K3) gave a better result than other concentrations, with an average percentage of Brix valued at 8.71%. At the same time, using felt (S1) as a wick showed the best result with the average percentage of Brix valued at 8.02%. The correlation analysis of AB mix concentration and Brix value resulted in a coefficient of 0.61 which showed a strong correlation between the two variables. This indicates that different levels of concentration of AB mix solution can influence the Brix value of cherry tomatoes.
