Today I’m closing the Dorade extraction. This batch has been breaking down for about two weeks, and now it’s ready for the final steps: blend, neutralise, filter, bottle — done. I’m using a light citric-acid adjustment to kill the smell and stabilise the concentrate before storage. Then it goes through the sieves, gets a final squeeze, and straight into bottles. This isn’t a recipe — just my normal cleanup routine once an extraction is fully digested: • break down the leftover solids • bring the pH down into a safe acidic range • filter everything clean • bottle and store Two weeks of rot, one day of work, another homemade input finished. On to the next one. --- TAGS DIY nutrients fermented plant juice FPJ FFJ nutrient extraction KOH extraction citric acid neutralisation cannabis nutrients organic inputs homemade fertilizer natural farming FERMAKOR KOH nutrient extraction DIY gardening compost extract growmies coco coir growing plant nutrition DIY PK nutrient soil biology fermentation nutrients

Just a quick breakdown of the real cost behind my nutrient setup — pure minerals, homemade PK, and the FERMAKOR mix that runs my whole grow. No talking, just music and visuals. If you want the full recipe or the breakdown for your own setup, drop a comment. Enjoy the video ️ Diary is closed

️ FERMAKOR – Neutralisation & Filtering (Final Stage) “From reactor to bottle — the first real batch.” --- 18.10.25 — Pulled about 1L of the finished FERMAKOR extract into a 5L bucket and added roughly 2L of clean water. Let it sit for a bit to calm down and cool off before touching the pH. Sample came back around pH 6.8–7, totally non-caustic — exactly what I wanted before acidifying for storage. Started adding phosphoric acid (59%) slow and steady, stirring between each pour. Ended up using about 50ml total before the colour flipped red on the GHE drops, landing the mix right around pH 3–3.5. No foam, no violent reaction, just smooth. Smell turned clean and metallic-sweet --- Filtering setup Used a pillowcase and cheesecloth layered together as the filter stack. It came out thick, dark amber, glossy — zero grit. I’ll leave it to rest overnight, open, just to let any tiny bubbles or gases clear out before bottling. --- Final note This batch is officially FERMAKOR B Concentrate V1.0 (1:4). Storage pH locked between 3.3–3.8, ready to bottle and shake before use. This one should be rich in P, K, Mg, and micros, while Calcium Nitrate will handle the N and Ca on the A-part side. --- Closing the diary That’s it for this round — extraction phase complete. I’ll be closing this diary here and opening a new one called “FERMAKOR A+B Test Grow – V1.” Testing starts tomorrow on a single plant. Time to see if this brew actually works in the tent. All images videos to be added later — filter setup, pH colour, and final concentrate. YouTube Link: https://youtube.com/@yan402-m8h?si=A7x4Zlr2kj-_ga31
