I don’t recommend mixing it with water and then storing it. A possible solution is to mix a bit of alcohol in there and then later leave it open so it will evaporate off. Would have to use some high proof alcohol though.

Another solution is to just treat it as a solid and use a fine mesh or bubble bag and kind of massage it into the water you will be using it with.

I have witnessed this before happening to other people, but never had it happen with any batches I have made. Perhaps it is because I keep it fermenting in a sealed container where there is not much chance for evaporation?

Thanks Bro, much appreciated.

wSo would you recommend to seal the container after the initial 7 days or so?

From what I have empirical evidence for, it lasts about 3 months in the fridge without supersaturation. With super saturation in the fridge it can last many years.

The smell and taste are the best tell tales without a microscope. If you do have a microscope staining the lab and looking at them is an easy way to count the populations.

I’m no expert but it’s my understanding as from Chris trump that you use WCAP for transitional phase with and fpj high in phosphoric acid or flowering hormones like flower fpj or unripe green fruit, as the plant gets further along into flower and fruit you transition to using WCA and towards the end you use a ripe “ffj” full of ripening hormones and mature plant sugars  along with WCA to really harden and finish off your fruit or bud, that’s how it is to my understanding

When I saw you had the same question I asked drake and he sent me a couple pictures.

The pictures say to use half dog food+half woodchips+KNF solutions.

Im a bit surprised dog food would work, and am curious about the quality that should/could be used.

I also read a recent post on knfsupport stating they used oats.

Im in North Kohala and am starting my imo1 , we have a shelf stable imo2 and I’d like to trial mediums other than the mill run. Good luck!

Anyone else tried any other medium or have any tips for dog food and or oats?

Enjoy inoculating and building soil!

You can use plain oats for like oatmeal or oat brand in place of mill run. It Cooks hotter, faster, and needs to be turned more often, but the fungal goods take to it like flies do to shit. 🙂

All of the information that you need to grow cannabis is given in Drake’s and Chris’s videos.  Don’t over think it, it is as simple as you think it is. And it works.

Alternate leaf and flower for veg.

Start alternating flower and fruit 2 weeks before flowering starts.

Make sure that the last two weeks are fruit then harvest.

Fermentation itself is not a “cure” in natural farming. Fermentation is used as a means of converting biomass into more plant available compounds.

That being said, you can very likely cure your flight through the use of natural farming. Good fungi beat it had fungi, to just have to get t right fungi.  I recommend finding a location that is thriving with similar soil and moisture content at a higher elevation.  IMO the snot out of it and apply it to your land.

I have all but completely cured Fabraea Leaf Spot, aka black leaf spot, on my pear tree.

When we moved into our house, the pear tree was half rotted and dead.  The filling year it barely had any foliage, and all foliage had Fabraea.  I was told by the previous occupants that in the 12 years they were here, they had never seen a single flower.  I removed all dead and damaged branches, then began applying Natural Farming Techniques.

Our soil is 100% clay, so I began adding organic matter to the top of the clay.  Mostly grass clippings that were chock full of deer droppings.  Every 2 weeks I brewed up the soil treatment with some imo 2 and let it bubble for 24-72 hours depending on the temperature.  I sprayed so surfaces of the tree, troy whatever was left on the ground inside the root zone.

Immediately that spring, the tree came to life with a renewed vigor.  Covered in green foliage, it looked 100 times better than I had ever seen it.  Still no flowers.  But!, there was only maybe 10% Fabraea compared to the year before.

This is currently year 2, remember trees take time.  Only about 5% Fabraea and I got flowers, about 30 of them!  None produced any fruit, but we are making progress.
