most do vary depending on the type of plant and its nutrient needs ie: potatoes are more a heavy phos feeder wile onions are a heavy nitrogen feeder also cycles may differ from say most radish (short cycle) to most garlic (long cycle) ….knowing the needs and cycle of each plant is a real help in figuring out how and when to use each solution ….wile some root veg you might want to go to flower before harvesting some you never want to go to flower before harvesting therefor there needs and cycles differ greatly …..theres a guide here at https://naturalfarminghawaii.net/2011/01/21/natural-farming-fertilizer-application-guide/ย  to give a general idea ..you would be looking for the link marked as ย (Plant Nutritive Cycles Presentation)ย  its a very good place to start it uses Taro as the example plant for root veg

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

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

In reply to: IMO 2 Question

i would guess that the rice may have been overcooked in those batches and the sugar pulled out to much water causing the separation (IMO2 should be like a thick paste or putty when finished) ….i would use them up first cause they do risk mold with the high water content ….i would think that the liquid still has a high microbe content as the microbes would have started propagating in the liquid so id think theres no need to stir it up but i dont think it would hurt to do so before use

You can use all parts of the bamboo …KNF Growth Food (FPJ) is made with 1 type of plant at a time this is cause the microbes that live on the plant are the ones you are looking for to break down that type of plant …sugar ratios are the same when making KNF Food (FPJ) its about half the weight of the plant matter the only time it differs is when making KNF Sweet Food (FFJ) which is 1:1 by weight …..the shoots themselves i would cut in half

looking at the nutrition in corn cobsย https://madbarn.com/feeds/corn-cob/ it might work for the 50% that would be the carbs needed in IMO3 it does have some fats n proteins in it that is good along with other trace minerals but you would still need the 50% carbon that makes up the rest of a IMO3

yes that is just evaporation all natural evaporation ….id say its not just one thing its all things probably mostly water
