Overall a better week for the plants. I'm hoping I've finally turned the corner on whatever was damaging them. I'll know if they are better if the new growth looks good, but its still too early to tell.
We had a pretty intense heat wave last week, so skipped the KNF and gave them things to help them handle the heat, Aloe Vera gel and kelp tea. Some of the lower leaves are yellowing so I also top dressed with FF Marine Cuisine for a quick N boost and gave them a malted barley SST along with the Bio-Ag Ful-Humix, to improve nutrient cycling. I hope this will help them handle the heat wave and if they had a nutrient issue it'll pull them out of that as well.
I also kept up the IMP spray, in case it broad or russet mites. Last week I hit them with Monterey Horticultural Oil and a few days later with Doctor Zymes. I'll probably have to keep spray another week to be sure, but I'm not noticing any worsening of the damage, so thats a good sign.
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.
