check out this vid from Drake on Howto Supersaturate KNF Solutions

thats a hard one to answer it could be 1 of 1000 things causing a imbalance in your system from something as simple as to much water or something extreme like a soil infestation, your plants are definitely saying theres something wrong, now you just have to research whats going on and try to figure it out    Good Luck and May the Force be with You

the procedure is the same when making any KNF Food (FPJ)

one of the main teachings of KNF is to use what is available to you in your area so a substitute can be used for rice to collect IMOs ,what that exact thing is in your area you will need to test out ….since this would be your first IMO collection i recommend getting some rice and following the proper steps so you have a  control to compare to …… as for what to look for when picking a substitute we need to look at the properties of the rice and why its used …. rice is a very simple starch ,white rice is used the hulls have been removed so its in its most basic starch form ,when cooked correctly it has a dry texture so the grains do not clump tightly together ,this allows air space between the grains for the fungi ….. if there is a grain you can grow in your area that fits these properties  then that is a good one to test and with using a control you will be able to compare if it does as good ,better or worse then rice

one thing i think sometimes is …if the zombie apocalypse started today would i be able to grow food tomorrow… and with the teachings of KNF and Drake the answer is yes ..everything i need to grow food is provided to me by the world just outside my door ,i just have to know how to use it

Happy Experimenting

yes this is the reason for using a non living vinegar when making Structure (WCAP) and Reproduction (WCA) the microbes in the living vinegar feed on the CA n P …when using homemade vinegars we want to pasteurize it first … just white vinegar can also be used when making Structure and Reproduction we are just looking for the acetic acid in vinegar to properly dissolve the CA n P into the solution   …. i love the tests of using other sources of calcium that could be locally acquired and hearing good results KNF is all about giving us the knowledge of how to do it on our own with the things we have available around us

I use fertigation through a hose end sprayer and have calculated the ounce per gallon mix rate per growth formula not sure if this might be what you are looking for or might help you make your own calculations

Soil – 7oz per gal

Leaf – 1oz per gal

Bloom – 5oz per gal

Fruit – 6oz per gal

Harvest – 7oz per gal

Maintenance i spray through a fine mist style sprayer but is mixed at 24ml per gallon

Happy Experimenting

Everything can be stored at room temp just keep it in a shady/cool dry spot in the room

yes and no you could use the 1 type of Food (FPJ) all the way through if that’s just what you had but its best to use 3 different types of food ….if the banana flower food is the Growth Food taken from the unflowered bud or growth tip that holds the growth hormones then you would also want to make both a Sour Food and a Sweet Food (FFJ) … Sour Food is made from a single type of unripe fruit or flower of a plant and is used in the 2nd/mid stage/crossover period (the banana flower food could also be used in this stage i would think) …..Sweet Food (FFJ) is made from 3 or more ripe fruits and used in the 3rd-4th/late stage ….its important to switch to a Sweet Food during the 3rd stage this food adds brix, excites the microbial life in the soil to enhance fruiting/ripening and adds that extra bit of nutrients to the plant needed during that final stage to get the best end results

Happy Experimenting

the amount should be fine and in fact might even be a bit of overkill since in the LIMO we are propagating the microbes ….the rice is normal wile some will dissolve there will be a bunch that do not ….its best to make LIMO out of IMO3 cause propagated IMO (IMO3) has all ready gone through a process of propagation/activation and is better suited for LIMO then the hibernated IMO2
