dilution is 1 to 500

no need for breathable lid for storage

just adding sugar water to a mother in theory it should be ok but not advised vinegar is made from  alcohol so by using pre fermented food (FPJ) u r a step ahead on the conversion process (shorter time to convert to alcohol then to vinegar) it is also not advised to use white vinegar as KNF cleanser (BRV) and that is what u would be making with just sugar water if u wanted to pasteurize the white vinegar and use it to make structure (WCAP) and reproduction (WCA) that would work great but for a cleanser (BRV) it is best to use a living fruit vinegar the main reason is the micronation of the P, K and other nutrients that occurs through the full fermentation process along with the living microbes

if your asking can i run it again (as in the food) id say no u have all ready spent that food, converted all its sugars pulled all its nutes put it through a full fermentation process and its ready to break down and return to the soil at that point u would get best results using a new food each time

the reason for using the suckers for a Growth Food (FPJ) is we are extracting the growth hormones from the fast growing suckers… this can be done with any plant that has a fast growing suckers or even new growth sprouts… ie: i like to make it from new growth sprouts from plants like Hosta & Comfrey that grow really fast in my area

yes … it can be used in the many stages to create your KNF foods-fpj just the same as any edible plant ..collect new growth for growth hormones, collect flower stage for flower food and so on same as any KNF food…. all parts of Nasturtium are edible even the roots very good choice for a KNF food

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

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
