Peyote Forum is in flower ladies and gentes! One is clearly more into flower than the other but both are well on their way. Between the heat and their growth, I've been having to water a lot but I've aired on the side of less water more frequently. So last week they got the usually KNF soil drench and foliar spray, humic acid, and aloe vera for the heat.
In addition, I made a nasty SST lol. Using water from my turtles tank, I stirred ground malted barley with LABS to control any bad bacteria for fours, then added Build a Bloom to that and watered in. I treat the tank with EM-1 on the regular for any bad bacteria or pathogen, the turtle water is high in nitrogen, bacteria, and other shit (literal and not) that will feed the soil. Lastly, I picked up some new Build a Soil products that are recommended by JayPlantspeaker, horticultural coconut powder (enzymes) and quillaja extract (saponins - wetting agent). Looking forward to these.
I've slowed down the IPM significantly since all of the new growth is looking good. I made some EM-5 with serrano pepper and it was finally ready last week so I used to as a light IPM follow up.
Really excited excited to see these girls get to flower, now we gotta cross the finish line.
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.
