There is a great explanation of KNF Medicine made of oriental herbal nutrients on Natural Farming Hawaii

KNF Fuel (FAA) can be used as soon as liquid emerges, however, for sufficient amino acid break down, it takes between 3-6 months depending on temperature. The longer you wait, the simpler the aminos, and more available they become.

I’d advise not to use Cho’s Global Natural Farming, by Rohini Reddy book as a primary source of information by the way. It’s not an accurate source of information, but can be good if you’ve had good instruction and understand where that book fails.

The soil formula is specifically for the soil to feed the biology while inoculating with KNF Microbes. This process builds what KNF refers to as soil foundation.

Each solution can be used as a foliar spray or soil drench for good effect. Typically I drench at 100 gal/acre, while I foliar spray at 25 gal/acre. For me the spraying is easier with the setup I have. Many folks prefer to apply via a fertigation setup.

Most of the solutions will be fine, and all are actually fine if you are not testing for the medical or recreational market, but instead growing for personal or friendly consumption.

If you are going through stringent microbial testing, IMO and FPJ in the late stage may show up, though they should not ring any alarms, but still better to be safe than sorry.

KNF Police however will nullify the effects within 12-48 hours and kick the ass of any pathogen that may upset your testing. There is current research to spray the flowers after harvest with KNF Police and then submit them for testing and the preliminary results are A okay.

KNF Fruit on the flowers themselves should act to harden them up and Calcium is a transporter, so when combined with KNF Minerals, it can really increase the profile of the smoke considerably in the favor of “what was I smoking before this!?”

The idea however is not to spray this directly on the buds (unless you are using a KNF Food for personals and you want to customize the smoke in other ways), but instead the plant absorbs all the KNF Solutions best when sprayed on the underside of the leaf just before sundown. This gives the plant a nice dinner to go to bed with and then do majority of it’s growing over night.

The process of fermentation eliminates many of the pesticide type functions when making KNF Food. In fact, many things that are known poisons are made edible after fermentation has elapsed, so I am very skeptical of the papaya leaf KNF Food being an effective pesticide.

You may find it works, but in my best understanding, it acts as a food to stimulate good biology rather than killing or inhibiting something you want to eliminate. I have made KNF Food from papaya leaves and it was quite tasty, though I prefer to make it from the fruits for my purposes.

If you are looking for an effective way to get the proteolytic enzyme from papaya leaves, perhaps consider putting them in a pressure cooker with water and cooking them for many hours until the water reduces in half. This dark slurry is then strained and combined with liquid soap to become an effective pesticide.

i’d avoid iodized sea salt. the less it has been processed or heated the better.

As said in the Office Hour, I do not believe that calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 can be used because it will not dissolve the same way in vinegar, and may be hazardous to eat. However, the limestone crumbles can be used directly or used in the Water Soluble Calcium (KNF Reproduction) recipe because it is calcium carbonate CaCO3, which is non hazardous to digest and will dissolve in vinegar.
