Welcome to the Disgusting Diary.
Out of pure boredom, I decided to brew something truly questionable: a homemade fermented plant juice (FPJ) that’s been sitting for 3–4 months in a bright green 8L bucket. This mix wasn’t made with just fruits and vegetables like the traditional Korean natural farming recipes — no, this one’s a monstrosity.
Ingredients:
Overripe fruit and forgotten veggies
Cannabis fan leaves from defoliation
Tomato plant scraps
Chicken bones
Eggshells
Old ground coffee
...probably more stuff, but honestly I forgot what else I threw in
Fermentation agent:
Black sugar (the dark, sticky stuff — not molasses)
Storage:
Sat outside in partial shade for 3–4 months untouched, through winter and early spring
Sealed and stirred occasionally with a wooden stick (which also lives in the bucket now)
Tools for processing:
Stainless steel sieves
Cooking pot for filtering
Repurposed 5L fertilizer jug
Two glass bottles with caps
Funnel with mesh
Current use:
Instead of bottling it and forgetting it again, I’m finally using it in my active grows. Starting light: 10ml per 30L nutrient solution — just to see if the plants explode or run away screaming. Applied across both my tent plants and the tomatoes/chilies outside.
Why?
No reason. Boredom. Curiosity. Chaos.
