so if i have 3 cups of raw moist seeds, i have 360 grams of seeds. that leaves 2kilos left of flesh.

so i can multiply my flesh chart by 16.7 and my seeds chart by 3
ill acknowledge the trace elements but for sake of NPK value what do i have?

8.4g Potassium K
20g Protiens (N)
.18g Phosphorus P

looks alot like 20-.2-8.4 if it were severely concentrated.
but that is quite unlikely you'll acquire that without an evaporation of the final liquid.
so for practicality this will make a soupy liquid that will be filtered from the pulp later.


i have pureed the entire pumpkin in a proportional amount of water. 1 kilo: 1 liter

i then brought the temperature up to 160F for an hour in a large pot.

there are at least 133g Carbohydrates. I want these as ferment-able sugars like in beer brewing.

they are broken down into the water at 150-170F over an hour or two.





i am using a 2 gallon carboy containing;

2qrt clean, nonchlorinated water
2qrts water + 5 lbs whole pumpkin pureed and cooked for an hour and brought down to room temperature
1 cup of EMe or lactoserum
1/2 to 1 cup of molasses
1 qrt of kombucha (optional for biodiversity)




the first process is complete when ph is 2-3 or about 1-2 weeks.

make sure you save a small handful of seeds to replant your pumpkin patch! CIMG2146.JPG CIMG2148.JPG CIMG2151.JPG CIMG2152.JPG CIMG2154.JPG CIMG2157.JPG



this is live action because you gotta wait with me for 1-2 weeks for it to ferment. sorry
 
Pumpkins or squash ferts kick some serious ass
only ferments I've done are comfrey and dandelion mixed, and it worked awesome, albeit probably superfluous though.
the only exp I have with pumpkins is how hugely badass it is for the wormbin.
I shamefully admit to pulling my car over to steal some kicked in jack-o-lanterns last Halloween
well it was past Halloween, so I wasn't shitting on some kids Halloween
I also admit to humming along to some smashing pumpkins songs as I mashed em
