Transplant happened over the weekend! I've been real bad about taking pictures but these girls are doing great. They got their KNF inputs like usual. To follow up with the IPM, I sprayed the plants with Dr.Bronners peppermint soap and some hot peppers. Hopefully that'll be enough to handle whatever as been munching on it.
I transplanted them Saturday night. Earlier in the week I mixed the soil and have been watering with humic acid and knf inputs. I put a teaspoon of DtE Starter Mix in the hole and then watered with compost extract and fish hydrolysate for the biology and aloe vera gel to help with transplant shock. So far they are 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.
