Thanks for down sizing the recipe George, the book’s is more industrial scale. Do you use the electric drill for the mixing?

I managed to get some KOH coming down in the next few weeks with a friend from the states. Looking forward to testing it out. How late in to flower have you tested it?

All the way to flower, It will break down in 7 days or so or can be rinsed off in the bud washing if there’s any there Remaining .

Yes an electric drill with a paint stirrer on it gets it mixed in about 10 minutes to the Mayo consistently.

Wish I had access to some right now need to wait a few months need to get through this last couple snow months first I guess!

Well maybe I’ll start an indoor plant of this come spring may need to check and see if there’s any negative side effects when it comes to house kitties mine like to nibble on things from time to time!

I can’t find comfrey here in the tropics but I do have a lot of moringa on my property which is amazing for human health but I’ve also been using it to make inputs for the garden. FPJ’s, vinegars etc but the one product I made which is having the fastest plant response and seems to be a super nute is what I call ‘Bio Nutes’

I take: 500ml of LAB, 500ml of organic molasses and mix it with dechlorinated water(5gl) in a 5 gallon bucket with a lid on and leave that in a cool dark place for 1 to 2 months and that’s your base “EM” mother.
I then fill another bucket with moringa leaves(picked at sunrise for the microbial activity in the dew) and flower pods(you could use comfrey or cannabis leaves) Then fill with finished EM and place a large rock on top to keep all the organic matter submerged. Again lid on in a cool dark place and in 3 weeks strain and you’ll have some serious ‘bio nutes’ full of minerals and macro & micronutrients. Use at a ratio of 1:500 to 1:1000.
And that way you’ll have fermented comfrey all through the winter :v:t4:

I am growing outdoors in the jungle in Central America and I am coming to accept the fact that good and bad insects as daily visitors is normal and I usually have a pretty balanced little system with predatory guys cleaning up for me but recently I had a slight calcium toxicity issues with a few plants(maybe 6 out of 20) and since then the pest pressure on those with damaged leaves has been heavy. It’s been easy to control the amount of mites up to today when I found a new pest I’ve never seen. Under the scope they mostly look like black shiny eggs and hard to tell if they are moving, I did also find a few bigger grey kind of hexagon shaped things that were definitely moving. Touch wood I’ve never had aphids but I think these are black Aphids. Please help :skull_and_crossbones:

Yeap, they look like black aphids:

Captura Captura

I think what’s good against the green ones will also work with these: neem oil, insecticidal soaps, and horticultural oils, try defoliating the worst leaves if you can … beer3|nullxnull

The black spots aren’t poop are they? Almost looks like some kind of worm or leaf miner damage.

Fuck dude loving your style already that does sound killer if only you could find that purple sulphur bacteria not sure how that one is found or cultured! Following along can’t wait to see some frosty buds!

Not sure if you have followed my thread at all but Iv incorporated the use of using a refractometer lately very interesting in what high Brix plant sap can do to help with pest control! I’ll post it up here it’s a good read came across some you tube vids years ago( Dan kitridge) found in some older Livingwebfarms vids that spoke of use of the instrument

Thanks mate, I’m following along now having a read… you recommend a refractometer even for 3 gallon pots? Curious how accurate it is
