Well, my Deathrow OG x Runtz BX turned out to be a male and I have no need of one so… :axe:
This was about a week ago.
I think my SIP works well though

I see a little green on the roots. Is that okay?
I’m thinking about adding a little peroxide to the reservoir now and then. What do you think about the idea?

Here’s my two other SIP buckets in use. I just did a defoliation on my Atonic from @TopShelfTrees1 (on the right) and one of my Frankenstein S1’s.


I built three more to use in the London Pound Cake challenge. I’ve enough buckets for two more.

That’s how my SIP journey is going. I rather think I will be continuing growing with these or a variation of this system. I can see the benefits for me and my needs.

Thanks for all the help.

Lactic Acid Bacteria, I’m sure there is a tutorial here on this thread somewhere how to make it. if not you can see in my KNF shelf thread too.

Its pretty easy, wash rice, let that water sit for a day or 2, mix 1 part with 10 part organic milk, let that sit till it separates, strain the liquid, this is your LAB, you can supersaturate that with brown sugar for shelf stable or you can store in the fridge as is

4mL to the gallon everytime you fill the res

Excellent! We’ve got more goat milk than we can drink. lol
We mix the extra milk with the dogs food. I don’t think the dogs would mind if they don’t get a gallon of it every now and then. :joy:
Thanks @BeagleZ !

Ok, so my goats are crosses of Nigerian Dwarf (average 6.1% fat content) and Nubian (average 5% fat content).
The milk they produce is ~5.4% fat.
However, goat milk has less lactose than cow milk does. That’s why lactose intolerant people can drink it.
If lactose is the most important element in the mix, would not cow milk be a better choice?
I’m still using goat milk because I have plenty but I was just wondering.

The fat content does not really matter, you will just get less curds the less fat you have.
As far as the lactose, the goat milk has plenty of lactose for the lactobacillus to overpopulate.

You could try both and see which one works better, but ill bet my bottom dollar the milk from your goats on your property will get you better results.

Another thought… is goat milk usually pasteurized? if not that may be why lactose intolerant folks can drink it, cause they are getting LAB with the milk. when we drink pasteurized milk we are drinking the dead bodies so they cant help in our gut to break down the lactose.
If you are lactose intolerant, just take a couple mL of LAB everyday, problem solved

I’ve never drank pasteurized goat milk. I can’t drink processed cow milk without being nauseous for a day or so and other disgusting aspects of sickness along with it. We started raising goats many years ago so I could drink milk. Store bought milk has no flavor anyway. lol
