Skipped a week for vacation. Peyote Forums were doing great, then we had a flash thunderstorm that hit while I was out of town. They are all intact but many of the bigger branches are bent from the weight and rain. PF #2 in particular took a beating, so I put a tree branch to support the stock and had to retie some of the branch to support them. Good thing plants got full sun the next day and dried off, so mold risk is minimal. Sucks but could have been worse.
I've been dialing down the nutrients a lot. Next week PF #1 is going to only water and PF #2 will soon after, although I'll keep adding thing to keep the biology happy. These last weeks they got the usual KNF with Fish Hydro, humic acid, cal-mag, and build a soil trio, though in weaker concentration each week. I also top dressed with a little Kashi blend to add some microbes after the heavy rain.
A few bumps before the finish line but the buds are still looking and smelling great!

I have not seen many others using KNF techniques, and youโre doing the full program while Iโm only using some parts of it. It seems to work great though, and Iโm very happy with it. Cheers.
@Rasjavi420, I like KNF but I think I was shorting the plants for N so Iโve been supplementing with Megacrop to get rid of the yellow tinge. Megacrop is very good and organic, but Iโm sure KNF is preferred and Iโll be doing this again. I have not checked out JMS but I will now. I think my soil was a bit microbe poor initially and two rounds of compost tea helped a lot. Anyway, fun stuff.
@Northern_Ent, yeah man, I actually started following you cause you were doing KNF, your right there's very few of us lol. I also use fish hydrolysate instead of FAA, smells like ocean shit.
OHN was a pain in the ass to make but worth it. Works as a pest repellent and I feel comfortable that my soil can handle pathogens or anything bad that makes its way into the soil. And now I have a gallon of it lol. IMO seems hard but like you I make it up with compost tea and Jadam Microbe Solution (you try JMS yet?)
It's a bit time consuming, so next run I'm thinking of doing a side by side KNF vs Build-a-Soil way to see to see which I keep doing.
@Rasjavi420, Iโve found one other person here using KNF. Growdiaries reveals their commercial bias with things like this. You can search for whatever obscure cannabis specific nutrient that people might buy but you canโt search for molasses or KNF techniques. Oh well, itโs still a great site.
Iโm using LAB, FPJs and FFJ but not going all in and using IMO or OHN or the fish fermentation (FAA). I figure regular fish fertilizer is much the same as FAA and Fish fertilizer is gross enough even without having to make it yourself.
Overall I think KNF is totally worth it except for maybe a single plant. Itโs not more work necessarily you just need to plan ahead. My buds certainly look good so far. ๐. Cheers and good luck.
