Picture includes bloodmeal but it should only be mixed into the soil or added to the tea if the tea goes into the soil unfiltered. Bloodmeal is not water soluble. This can be considered 12-24-24 which is suitable for flowering. Add bokashi and manuer for vegging.

Fermented squash I haven't forgotten about you. This smells very edible as a kimchi kind of food. The sugars from the squash will make this great for yielding high brixx vegetables as well as giving them a dosing of desired potassium and whatever else happens to be in the squash.

I'm making a tea/foliar spray with it and some other extracts and a pest repellent.

I mixed the solids and large cultures of bacteria from the surface with peat moss. Then i cased it in bokashi and colsed the container. Ill check on it every week and shake it when i turn compost. Itll be ready in three weeks or less.KIMG0720.jpg

Water lily compost? I wonder what it's got!! I'm going to collect water lilies for a while and see what it can do as half of the carbon in a compost. Or maybe I'll mix what I have into the existing pile and add a trash can of coffee grinds and fresh bokashi.

I just finished my bloom batch. It was comprised of:
Happy frog bat guano 0-5-0 (2 cups)
4 large bananas
Rolled oats (1 cup)
Moon Drop Grapes. (2.5 cups)
Blackstrap molasses (1 cup)
0ppm Ro/Di water to top off and bring the total volume to 2000ml after it was liquified in the blender.
I then added 3tbsp of my homemade EM1. It's been fermenting at 70F since the 9/13/15. I filtered it today and here's my haul.

Veg formula is on the left and bloom is on the right.

Also I'm considering refilling with 0ppm water and molasses for a re run. I'd bet there's more to be extracted from the bat shit. Otherwise I'll just add some to my AACT brews when I make them.

I'm actually considering mixing the veg and bloom all together in a jar.
I'm still very unsure, any advise or 2 cents?
Veg formula is simply lake weeds and 1 large whole bluegill. And blackstrap molasses.

I would. But I'd just mix them when I need to use them. This way you can tune based on what your plant responds to. Like, if you needed to boost one element and not another.

If you mix them, don't forget to double your dosage since they're extracted seperately.

Nice looking recipe btw!

Thanks.
Yeah you prob right, Ill just keep them seperated in storage and mix based on needs. LOL i wouldnt even know what to say the NPK, Ca/Mg would be in a ratio form.

Nice! Ferments tend to smell very pleasant from my experience. Except the pest repellent. That stuff is garlicky. I'm debating throwing a ghost pepper in the mix..for veg only lol. Only thing keeping me from using it is that it may turn out like a mild pepper spray and piss the neighborhood off

lol I am actually waiting for my carolina reaper seeds to get here in the mail. They say you cant even touch the pepper while its growing because it will burn. I have the same idea as you for a pest repellent. I have been raided by the chipmunks and squirls for years, and now i have a more less humaine way to remove them. I kinda feel bad tho because its such a hot pepper but they'll get over it. hahaha Glad im not a woodland critter!

Isnt the garlic part of the "Imuno Boost" that Gill and Patric posted from their site. I thought ginger was supposed to be part of that?

So last night me and the kids carved pumpkins. I saved 2.5qts of the guts that hold the seeds. Separated the seeds of course, the best I could. There's a couple in there but they are underdeveloped and thin like paper so they should be fine to ferment. I didn't puree anything like I usually would or add molasses. This is fermenting all on its own.

I'm not sure how accurate this actually is but you probably got a .5-.5-.5 due the the fermentation. Lund say pumpkin is ~.16-.07-.26

And I'd mix this into an aerated tea @ a liter per 5-7 gallons. Only because that is the ratio for a vermicast tea of 1-0-0.

Pumpkin seed avg petty decent potassium and magnesium
