That’s really interesting. Now I have some confidence on germinating this grain. I bought a 50 pound sack from the elevator last year for 12 bucks. Are there any other grains I could be looking for

You could do barley , popcorn maybe alfalfa might be expensive though if ya want it would be easy to go to a home brew store also I think ya can pick up base grain for a bit over 1-1.25 /lb flaked corn might be an option as well

This rye has been soaking for only one day. I’m thinking a few more days of germination before drying

OK so here is my progress report… since my plants are in there first week of flower @Badger and @Tinytuttle got me going on this knf organic farming with cereal grain sprout teas and such. It’s simple after reading 10 times lol…
Anyway since I’m in a very strong flower transition stage I drove around and picked shoots of strong growing plants and flowers growing in the same soil as my in ground organic plants. Keep in mind I have two full blown organic derivative organic plants.
So I cut many shoots. Recipe also calls for Brown sugar, non chlorinated water and just a bunch of growing shit basically lol. I’ll post pics on that now. Btw. Supposed to put this stuff in jars for a week to ferment and closed the bottom 2 inches of liquid then dilute cuz it’s strong stuff. What I’m doing is putting everything in a bucket pounding it with a four by four and after a week I’m gonna slap it all on both my plants with a small trickle from the garden hose…
This next pic I a germinated sprout tea. You pick your grain of choice and go from there. I chose rye for its high phosphorus content. I germed a good 20 pounds and drying now in a wheel barrow. I’m gonna crush that up once dried then slap all that on the bitches too.
They say to combine both these methods for maximum oil production during flowering. I will… you’ll know…

Super interesting approach to that bro. Im interested to see how those big ladies like that. It almost looks like you are throwing a boquet in that stuff. Save some for the ladies! I’ve brought the wife wildflowers before. It makes them meaningful when you pick them.

Not sure what you may be going off but water isn’t added to the initial ferments … equal weight of brown sugar as organic material pack well and make sure theirs a sugar cap on them In mason jars of appropriate size from what I recall does this jive with your info?

OK cool. Thanks @Tinytuttle. So I guess what I’ll do is add way more brown sugar till it pretty much absorbs all the water and go from there. Would that work?

Yes the appropriate amount sugar will work through osmotic pressure the sugar draws out all the water and nutrient from the plant material.

If your plants don’t need it I wouldn’t worry about it but that one could be dried and crushed egg shells mixed with with a vinegar for 3-4 days if ya wanted a phosphorus boost do it with bones as far as Mag I’d just use epsom salt.

If ya want to take this KNF thing to the next level theirs a thread of downloaded books called “nerdy shit” or something similar it’s in that thread it’s the same Jadam organic book that I have on hand and showcased at the beginning of last years thread
