Sure thing,
For anyone who is curios about what ffj is and how to make it the legit way here is a reference
I have been doing it a bit differently, partly because organic brown sugar is pricey. I gather fallen nectarines from under my tree. Fill up a 1 gallon jar. Squish them a little with a potato ricer. Add some water to fill in the gaps. Add a little splash of store bought microbes (right now I am using supermicrobe root enhancer) cover the jar with a paper towel. Then I let them sit for a 4-7 days. Then I strain the liquid into these smaller jars and seal them.

So, then you use it in teas? When do you start feeding it?
Thank you. I think I will try benificial nematodes next year after I have done more reading. I just discovered I still have an unopened package of OG Biowar Foliar, so I will finish that before I change my ways. I do teas of Hi-Brix Molasses, worm castings, Bokashi, guano, and alfalfa meal along with regular feedings of the Fox Farm feeding schedule this year. Every year I try different things as I LEARN MORE HERE ON THE FARM. Thank you all.I have read on the stuff ....a lot. Most of what I have read said it does kill many strains of benificial bacteria but that the omega 3s and fatty acids in it help feed other strains. So due to that I just wont use it.
I do understand why some people do... for the very reason you are saying, however I added benificial nematodes to my soil long before I transplanted to kill off any unwanted soil dwelling pests or larva. This way I'm achieving the same goal without in any way harming any benificials.

Oh I'm not against neem as a pesticide and spray ....just against putting it in my soilThank you. I think I will try benificial nematodes next year after I have done more reading.

I have been kind of afraid of it also. I used to put it in teas and then thought was maybe a bad idea.Oh I'm not against neem as a pesticide and spray ....just against putting it in my soil

Thank you so much!Fucking impressive. Great job!
Why what's wrong with that spider??? He was on there one day I saw him and took some cool pics of him. He's gone now I made him move along. That was at least 3-4 weeks ago...Wait what in the F**k is that in the last picture? Please tell me that's a toy used to scare off bugs or something. If not I'm going to drive to your Town and burn the entire thing down to the ground. That's his plant now I would I Abandon it and the 12 square KM or Miles surrounding it. I now no longer want to touch my ladies ever again. I'm going to make an attachment for all my tools so I never have to get close enough to see one of those in real life.
Gotta love those crab spiders haha, I get them a lot along with jumping spiders and lady bugs. They do wonders keeping harmful insects off your plants.

Yup. I just recently burned a few landrace plants using a horsetail fermented plant juice. I forgot to dilute the juice, so you can for sure burn your plants using organic inputs! LolI burnt the shit out a plant with neem before. I had thrips and did both a foliar tea and a top dress because there were thrips in the cover crop too. Plant was wrecked. At first I thought it was just from the foliar, but it kept getting worse and worse until I did a deep flush. The plant recovered. I always think of that when I hear people saying that "you can't burn a plant with organics" lol. A lot of people use that stuff with great results so I am sure I just went overboard.
Wow Greatlakes! Those are some beauties!Finally got out there to take a few pics. They have already grown inches. All seem happy and healthyView attachment 1006017

I'm a rookie to all this. This is my first real attempt at a grow. I think I'm doing alright. Althought I'm getting some brown growth on new leaves coming out on main colas
Awe thank you so muchWow Greatlakes! Those are some beauties!
