Tomato Fruit ferment smelling like alcohol and bubbling, still safe for plants?

Question for KNF growers.


Tomato ferment is probably a month or two old. Started out clear then slowly clouded as a white substance formed on the top which didn't seem negative. Now it's this color with an alcohol smell for a few week, now these bubbles. What are the bubbles, is it still safe to use? Better even?

Wait, what?? First of all, why would you feed your plants tomato sauce? Then, why would you feed them rotten, fermented, moldy tomato sauce?? Is it so good that you're debating whether it might be better rotten? That can't smell good. Plus, being part Italian I'm even more upset!

Korean natural farming techniques, it's been going to my tomatoes n they seem to love it.
I feed my bud plant fermented moldy weeds and beets that smell like ass lol.

It's sliced tomatoes left in brown sugar for microbes to break down to nutrients that are water soluble.

I guess the alcohol doesn’t bother the roots? I would be careful with anything containing alcohol. But I don’t know jack about KNF.

Never dealt with this happening with ferments for plants lol so not really sure, might start new.

Maybe you could filter it and save it for a pest spray. Sounds like it might work well for that. Kill mites and feed the plant at the same time.

It actually can in normal circumstances be used in ipm to deter pests lol, attracting them to the foliar spray (instead of fruits) with IPM while feeding it a bit.

Never hurts to think outside the box!

Well, isn't tomato juice supposed to be good for getting rid of......skunk smell?

If there's one thing Koreans are known for, it's their marijuana growing prowess. ;)

I’d test it at 1/3 amount. Sweet wine smell is okay.

Probably could make some vinegar out of it.
