🌱 GrowDiaries Log – Day 9
FERMAKOR BASE SYSTEM – KOH VERSION ⚓ (Batch #1)
Good morning growmies ☀️
One week in, the bucket looks nothing like scraps anymore. Breakdown has been quick and thorough — almost everything is liquid now, with just a few stubborn bits hanging on.
Observations (Day 9):
Foam: barely any, just a thin layer here and there — never really foamed big.
Smell: nastier than Day 2, ammonia/chemical with a faint earthy undertone.
Texture: 95% liquid, only tiny clumps left dissolving slowly.
Color: darker and more uniform, looking like a concentrated base already.
⚠️ Safety note: Still caustic, still burns instantly — full gear needed for handling.
🌱 Reflection:
Honestly impressive how fast KOH stripped everything down. No real foaming storm, just a steady chew through biomass until it turned into this dark liquid. I’ll give it another 3–4 days and see if those last solids are gone completely before calling this first batch finished.
