Hi Guys is IT possible to use IT for indoor ?
I use everything I make indoor and outdoor
I need to make me some LABS to try out to get my feet wet a bit, would be great to have around/use.
I def dont use all of knf. And have never tried jadam. Probably wont either. But what i use def has quite a good benefit.
yup, im content with FPJ/FFJ along with LABs at the moment, but am about to collect some IMO.
Love the results from JMS @lotus710 , highly recommend. This is as far as ive taken JADAM
Iām very curious about JADAM pest management.
I think Iām gonna make some sulfur solution, and also Oleander extract for my veg gardenā¦ Fucking bugs keep eating the leaves off of my sprouts
Cool thanks i m going to try IT indoor. Beats bottlefeeding i think
Keep us posted on that! Is there a JADAM input for squirrels
Maybe a foliar application of Garlic OHN? Apparently they donāt like the smell or tasteā¦ Untested, so just a theory
I find it better to spray nutrients than pesticides. Pest problems are almost nothing when growing with a healthy balanced soil. Knf focuses a lot on this aswell. Keep the bacteria and fungi on the roots and leaves in check and the pests just become food for your plants.
What kinda bugs and sprouts?
I donāt know why but the KNF stuff does feel more approachable than somE of the JADAM preparations (this is coming from a guy who tried it once, failed and hasnāt gotten back to it yet ) but something about collecting leaf mold and whatnot feels like a bridge too far sometimes in terms of complexity, even though Iām sure itās not, just kinda hits different for some reason IMO
Butā¦ butā¦ the leaf mold is right by your feet when collecting for knf
I think we all agree here, but the damn squirrels are the bane of my existence come tomato time.
I canāt stomach the pellet gun anymore, something about this way of growing has me thinking differently about all life even the annoying ones lol. Maybe itās that Iām covered in LABs all the time now I dunno but something has changed
My wife just called me a dirty hippie so there that
When the wife calls you a dirty hippie you know youāre doing something right!
Ha!
Okay! I havenāt done the KNF write up yet, but hereās a little sumthin sumthin for yāall: I whipped up some JADAM wetting agent this afternoon!
This is basically a cold process liquid soap, so itāll be used as hand soap, body soap, laundry soap, and dish soap, in addition to being used for pest control, and as a wetting agent for foliar nutrient application.
Ingredients/Supplies for a 5 gallon batch
-5 gallon bucket and lid ($10)
-Electric drill
-paint stirrer attachment
-.5 kg of water (thatās a half liter)
-640 grams KOH (potassium hydroxide) (1 kg was $13)
-1 gallon canola oil ($10)
-additional 16 L of water
Recipe
Pour the 500mL of water into the 5 gallon bucket, then dump in the measured KOH. Roll the bucket around at an angle to fully dissolve the KOH
CAUTION This initial solution creates a powerful exothermic reaction (it gets hella hot), AND is an extraordinarily strong base, meaning that it is caustic and will fuck you up if you get it on you. Always wear a mask, elbow length gloves, and safety goggles when dealing with this chemical.
Once the powder/flakes are totally dissolved, use the drill with paint stirrer attached, to agitate the solution while slowly streaming the entire gallon of canola into the bucket. Donāt stop pouring, or stirring, until all of the canola is in. The emulsion should look like runny mayo with a yellowish white coloration. If the mixture breaks (separates), just turn up the drill speed and re-emulsify.
Let the mixture stand, covered, for 3 days.
After the requisite time had passed pour 4 liters of RO (or other soft water) into the bucket. Use the drill to mix the water into the original solution, and to knock any of the concentrate off the wall of the bucket.
Finally, hand stir the last 12 liters of water into the solution until you have a homogenous mixture.
So for about $20 ($30 if you donāt have a bucket and lid already) youāll have 5 gallons of JWA/cold process soap.
Dilute between .6%, up to 3% of total solution for foliar use.
Pictures are from today, so the 16L of water will be added in Monday, and Iāll post the finished product
Step one. Make sure you donāt have nosey neighbors as to not have DEA knockin on your door for suspected meth lab lol
Awesome write up! Thank you for sharing this, looking forward to seeing the finished product!
Lol!
I didnāt even think of that! I was out under the carport at my house doing this project
My super even drove by!
