Another good week for these ladies. Peyote Forum #1 is stacking up early! Days are getting shorter, just dropped under 13 hours of sunlight, so I think its looking like a early October harvest for PF #1, #2 might be an extra week or two.
I hit them hard with the microbes and nutrients for the last time this week since it looks like they are finishing the stretch. This week they got some Teraganix EM 1 and a compost extract, as well as a light top dressing of FF Marine Cuisine, DtE Insect Frass and neem seed meal. This was on top of their regular KNF with Fish Hydrolysate (lower to 1/4 dose), Build a Soil Trio (Q, Coco, BaBloom), Cal-Mag, and Humic Acid. I also managed to wake up early enough to do a final foliar feed of the Build a Soil Trio lol. I stopped LSTing a few weeks ago, I might actually untie #1 pretty soon. I did a heavy defoliation of damaged and inter leaves (see last picture).
For IPM, I noticed some bud rot and chewed up leaves on PF #1 that was a caterpillar which made its way into a small nug. So I cut that out and them hit all of them with Spinosad (don't have BT). Will keep a close eye on that site and probably follow up with EM 1 or Dr Z in a few days. Otherwise, I think the pest pressure is pretty low, so I think we'll be good til the end.

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.
