I took the idea of this soak from Chris Trump on YouTube, it's a KNF sytle, minus the OHN and added Humic acid.
Seed Soak: 24 hours in a solution made of 1 liter of dechlorinated water, 2 ML of Brown Rice Vinegar, 2 ML of Fermented Plant Juice I made from bamboo, and 1/4 teaspoon of Bio-Ags Ful-Humix.
I put this into shot glasses and dropped seeds into separate glasses. Then I used the solution to hydrate the Jiffy Pods. Once soaked I made small hole for the seed and dusted it with DtE Starter Mix (1/4 teaspoon) and put the greenhouse on the windowsill for a few days til they popped. 6/9 did within a few days, which is all I needed.
Once they looked good and hardened them for a few days I transplanted them into 1 gallon pots to veg while my other plants finish up. I'll post that mix in week one.
I have not seen many others using KNF techniques, and you’re doing the full program while I’m only using some parts of it. It seems to work great though, and I’m very happy with it. Cheers.
@Rasjavi420, I like KNF but I think I was shorting the plants for N so I’ve been supplementing with Megacrop to get rid of the yellow tinge. Megacrop is very good and organic, but I’m sure KNF is preferred and I’ll 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, I’ve 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 can’t search for molasses or KNF techniques. Oh well, it’s still a great site.
I’m 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. It’s not more work necessarily you just need to plan ahead. My buds certainly look good so far. 😎. Cheers and good luck.
