Homemade inputs???

TheFattyMcCoystarted grow question a year ago
What do yall think of my diary? All homemade inputs, I invest literally less than 20 bucks in my inputs in the entire grow. I want to prove to you all that you do not need to drop money on bottled nutes, remember bottles are for babies. Challenge me? Just look at my diary

Growing organically in living soil is the only way I grow. Props on your use of ferment teas. KNF and JADAM are great methods and should be checked out by a lot of other growers. The proof is in the pudding on that topic and there's a Lot of science based pudding on it out there and available. Keep it up!

I have asked similar questions on here, it seems there are people misunderstanding what KNF is, and I don't say that I invented it. Also the negativity is always over powered by positivity. I wish more people would be open minded and learn something. To those who purchase inputs and only use 1 dollar worth per plant per entire grow, wow you must have found the fountain of youth lol. I am talking to those, and there are many, who use 8 to 10 plus bottled nutes. That is expensive. To anyone that thinks I am "waiving my dick to be an attention whore" is just hilarious because they have way more deficiencies than I ever will. Also I hardly have one complete journal and have more than 3 times the likes. ... Stop hating, pick up a book a learn something new. Purchasing bottled nutes will always be expensive, and those who use them will always find problems with their grow. Best of luck to the haters, thank you and love goes out to all those who appreciate Korean Natural Farming, and the low cost methods that are used in JADAM. Pennies per acre. ❤️

meh.. my ferts are less than 1 dollar per plant and powerheads do all th emixing of far fewer products and works well whether i have 2 or 8 different strains running. more than one way to skin that cat and defniteyl less labor intensive ways... which if you add in labor hour costs of at least /hour, the math can change quickly. in general i'd ather not pay for water-weight and brand names of ubiquitous commodities, which ingredients of fertilizers definitely are, but sometimes convenience is worth a small increase in cost too. It was cheaper for me to buy a big bale of promix and mix some extra perlite in, but it's so much easier buying 70/30 coco/perlite premixed. It's loose, no lumber and can use immediately. Not to mention this is arguably splitting hairs when you consider total cost... Electricty will by 10x these costs if frugal. So even if saving 50% on these 'inputs' it's only 10% of the total cost saved. Donks are genetics.. not a feeding plan or whether you use soil or coco. it's better to think of what we do as not stepping on our own dicks (or flaps for the ladies, best to be fai and courteous lol) rather than "boosting" or improving the plant in some magical way. We can optimally feed it relative to environemt and that will have the best result for that context. This isn't foie gras... you can't force-feed donk dicks. anything 1 person does can easily be reproduced by another.. it's not mystical or magical. if you didn't have lab precision with those plant's envionemtn, then someone coulda did it better.. and that isn't criticism.. life woks on cause and effect. it isn't personal.

Love the diary and the invention, your methods would cost me 10x what I am paying now. If I factor in my time and fuel cost driving to the beach, collecting seaweed, buying and growing aloes, fermenting this and that and getting all the multiple add ons and extras in your grow. You may not have spent much in money but you have sure spent a ton of time when compared to ordering a bottle on amazon. I think it is awesome that you are able to make your own nutes really really cool, and I love your grow. I think this aggressive, dick-waving, attention-whore type question post is less awesome.

Nice.. I respect this.. and have been working on my natural soil grows alongside my “standard” fertilized grows. I was lucky to get a 330 lb pallet from Athena of free nutes, so I haven’t paid a cent for nutrients in about a year.. To each their own, and like I said I respect those who conquer the natural way of growing.
