Jkune Update at Superstess Supergarden

Alright this is Jkohn Kohler with growingyourgreens.com today we have another exciting episode for you and today what you're going to get is the Jkune update at Superstess Supergarden here but what I want to do is actually I wasn't even here to film it because I was out of town so we got the boogie bro Jkosh filming it along with Seth and in that episode they're going to show you guys the update and how things are growing but then more importantly they're going to get into some Korean natural farming and fermented plants. juices that I know a lot of you guys have asked me about Korean natural farming before and I definitely agree with it and any way to improve your soul whatever technique or label you want to put on I think is great and that's what you guys are going to learn in this episode so let's get right to it. This is Jkohn Kohler reporting, I mean the boogie boy reporting to you on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Jkune. Thank you No Jkune Gloom today from Super Seth's Backyard Food Forest and Medicine Garden. Trying to do a little tour.

Seth himself, Super Seth. Seth, thank you for having us here, by the way. Leah and I are proud to be here. Try to give me a whirlwind tour, and I can't remember half of what he told me, so we're going to have him in person visiting some of the techniques that he's doing here. And, of course, this, I was just here, it seems like, barely a few weeks ago, and I don't even recognize this.

The Rad Hawk Cookies. And she's Rad Hawk. Look at that. And apparently he says... that he can't keep up with grooming her.

I mean, good Lord, look at that stock. You know, that's TD level, that's next level. And I believe this is a full term, which is scary, because Super Seth is not going for it as a TD level sport.

He's trying to be a little more discreet, shall we say, about his backyard crop. And so this is clearly a great problem. to have but it's a problematically large for this early into the summer period and absolutely perfect Picasso couldn't paint a finer shade of green on these leaves stunning stunning early flower development I'm suspecting that red hot cookies is a quick finisher judging by how stout her pre flower node sites are forming Mean that's just the perfect plant And it's got a healthy fly here.

I mean there's some great biology going on here He's got soil that you could make love to I'm gonna ask Super Seth for his top tip the SLS tip What's your top tip for the best living soil? Which clearly I'd say the problem with super set is that he has too many tips and this gentleman is a super sponge of information and knowledge, and then he applies it beautifully, might I add, in a fashion that any artist would be proud of. This, to me, is the ultimate example of a backyard food forest and medical farm all in one, grown as sustainably as it gets, as clean, green, lean, and mean of a beautiful soil machine that this gentleman...

me smell that let me get a whiff i could make love to good soil biology oh good god that is just to die for so nice and this one full gas and she's also going full bloody gas and then look at this it's just so cute i'm gonna munch on a boogie berry here because i do believe he's been feeding him tea super seth adopts grizz's mantra low and slow so that's the thing none of this has been overfed even though it looks like it was um it must have maybe gotten some pure protein or something that's not legal to have such gorgeous leaf tissue formation such healthy berries and i'm gonna munch on one oh that is a terpene that's a terpegasm man that's like mmm and this can only bode for what other fruits and bricks levels mmm are coming down the Seth Super Seth garden pipeline and by the way let me just pause before going on after enjoying the most delicious strawberry ever thanks Super Seth I'm doing this because Jkohn's And Seth's schedules didn't line up. So we're reporting basically on behalf of JkK. This is JkK's visit, but with the boogie boy instead. So yeah, this gorgeous tomato plant next to the boogie boy.

to the berry patch and then over here something I would never recognize and this is called freak show and she's cannabis believe it or not I mean she looks like cilantro or some sort of aquatic you know riparian habits a tap. You know, grass species that would grow next to my meadow in Humboldt. Show doesn't look like a cannabis plant, but she's called Freak Show. And she's freaky in a really good way. Like the Michael Franci song, all the freaky people make the beauty of the world.

All the freaky Freak Show canna little wonder plants. And apparently this is HSCC. So this is going to do something, you know, that's worthy of for sure.

Not just, not just. like oh I grew a freaky plant Humboldt C Company wouldn't create freak show if it didn't have I'm sure freaky results so yeah that's pretty exciting right here in the raised bed little eco zone of Super Seth's patch here he's got all kinds of his his greens still raging and then he has a whole line here of some new runs that he decided to put in peyote skill Skittles. Yeah, this is the peyote Skittles. And I will get some reports from him on what she's supposed to do.

The triplets. We have a peyote triplet Skittles here. Another super happy healthy tomato.

Everywhere I look I just see and then he's got super Steve C's you know formula for healthy IPM management always the companion plant look at these marigolds just gorgeous I mean that's like art so yeah Seth agreed with me that he would get a little more on point here about what's going on including the whole wine barrel zone I miss which already has some fat boogie berries look at that exactly behind it is nuts yeah What's going on there, dude? These are volunteer squashes, man. No.

I think they're costado romanesco zucchinis, but some of these just popped up this year. Dude. I think from the compost, because I composted some of my costado romanescos last year. And what I had in here was... Wait, what are they?

repeat that yeah it's it's very it's weird to pronounce it's costata romanesco zucchini it's an italian variety of zucchini they have like um little like like veiny sort of stuff on the outside they're really tasty they're really good you get them when they're about that big they're really tender i like to like fry them up in a little bit of oil it's super good wow how did you identify them you just know i i just guessed the way that they're growing because uh i planted this one um from seed this year so i'm positive that this is a costata romanesco they look look similar enough I'm just guessing yeah yeah that is incredible yeah yeah and then man I mean so I had an autoflower up here and I just harvested that but I what was that that was a critical 2.0 do I get to sample that sure of course yeah if it's any good I'll give you something it's not done curing yet but um yeah this is kind of like my little side plot it's not one of the raised beds so you know I've got some CBD in here I've got my Jkapanese wine berries in here this is wait so this is this is kind of like your leftover A little bit. But look at it! It's so prime! Thanks, man.

You know, every time I have an extra strawberry plant, I plant it wherever there's a little bit of room. And now, you know, man, I'm like... I'm about to cash in on that. I mean, you can see... Yeah, give me another boogie berry.

Random berries all over the garden. Yeah, that one's maybe not quite as ripe as your previous one. That last one was so good.

Yeah, that was prime. Good stuff, man. Oh, I like that. That was even...

Rad. Rad. equally awesome, but yeah. And yeah, this is a... So rad, dude.

This is another feminized plant. This is, oh yeah, this is another full gas right here. So, you know, who knows what will happen to these.

I don't think that the soil is quite as sweet right here as it is in the garden beds, because this is much newer soil. So we'll see how it goes. But yeah, these plants seem really happy.

And only problem is you see a little bit of curl. That's a little too much nitrogen on this one. But other than that, I think these plants are pretty happy. What happened? happened too much pure protein?

I think I put too much pure protein in there. It's actually possible to overdo it huh? I'll find a way yeah.

Once every two weeks. Even Super Seth, Mr. Low and Slow. I'm not always Mr. Low and Slow.

So yeah this is your leftover like screw it let's see what happens kind of. A little bit. Yeah.

I definitely take the beds a little more seriously and I know that the soil is a little you know a little more developed in those beds. Yeah but this is epic. No this is great. This is a whole new mound of bio.

Yeah yeah. In the making. Totally.

Like why leave this real estate? Yeah, you know why not populate it with Seth's leftovers. Yeah, it's full sun.

Yeah. Yeah here Let's keep moving this way and also I'll give a little more tour So yeah, like I was saying costado Romanesco zucchini Definitely my favorite variety of zucchini not only to grow because it's beautiful but also to eat because it's delicious These are the French marigolds shout out to our boys super Steve Cantwell who I of course have never met But I love his growing style and he he swears by the French marigold. He also swears by the dichondrid you know that it's like It looks a little bit like a clover, but not really. And it's like a ground cover that he uses in his. So I'm going to try some Dichonda.

I think it's Dichondra. I'm going to try that in the garden this year. But I haven't planted any yet.

You've always kept stuff growing in these beds. All year, yeah. Now what have you added recently? I've added... But you're always adding.

Super, well I'm always piling stuff on top. Either something new is growing in it, which is adding by its own. Exactly.

Nitrogen fixing and all that good stuff. So... Always keep stuff going. Never leave stuff fallow.

Yeah, yeah. Find something to plant in there. Keep that microbial web of life exchange.

Always have armor on your soil so that what's going on below it, you know, can reach its full potential. You don't want it exposed to the sun too often because that'll destroy the life inside your soil. You want it.

So what I've done recently, I put on a little bit of worm castings. And then I also just take my lawn clippings and I put them on top. It's a little bit of extra nitrogen and it also keeps a little barrier on top of the soil. So that's all you've added. no i mean i add stuff all the time but uh but that's the most recent edition okay since john was here yeah yeah what do you think i don't even know i don't quite you are mr low and slow you don't go crazy with top dressings you're just harvesting what's in your own yard from your yeah it's been with your world i use fertilizer for sure like organic fertilizer of course but like i use you know like um whatever like uh coast of maine the like lobster yeah i heard nothing but good things about coast of maine yeah coast of maine is good vegan mix we got you some yeah BioLive.

BioLive is badass. Yeah, BioLive is great fertilizer. We have a lot of people that love BioLive. Thank you, Down to Earth.

That's in Boogie Root, right? BioLive is in Boogie Root? No, but we sell a lot of BioLive.

No, but Down to Earth, of course, a lot of their products are in our team. We love them. They're the best. Down to Earth is excellent.

They are. So has this had any of the vegan mix or BioLive since any of this stuff? Yeah, I think it has. But very little.

Jkust like a salt and pepper amount? Yeah, exactly. Every time I add it, you know.

Low and low and low. and slow i'm going really low like you know if if uh if i think it's a strong fertilizer i'll put like a tablespoon in and just mix it into a bunch of worm castings and then feed the worm castings and like i just keep i do keep it really low and slow i mix a lot of my fertilizers into the worm castings before i feed the worm right yeah so the worms get to digest it too exactly and also like you know it it's not like one plant is getting a ton of one thing it's like every plant's getting a little bit of everything yeah so see i got you know arugula here i'm sure that's putting you some delicious root exudates into the soil and helping feed the rest of the cannabis plant this is my largest freak show plant this year i was gonna top it but i'm like i don't know anything about this plant i think i'm just gonna let it do its thing you know what i mean because it's so weird it's so unique it's so different dude that freak show is awesome i know and i've heard people say and we know nothing about it it's so new that there's not much like you can't go find results of it already people say there's a lot of terpenes people say it tastes really good but no talking about terpenes that is insane yeah this is really really good dude that is off the chain how good that arugula tastes good lord we'll have to get anything you anything you enjoy out of here no matter how you consume it spicy dude seriously bro that is like wow I know. Crazy. And then check it out, that's next to the native tobacco. So this tobacco is native to Northern California.

This particular one was found in Bolinas, California. And this is the native tobacco. So I grow this alongside the rest of the plants.

And Jkohn Kohler ate it last time he was here, which was hilarious. Dude, Bolinas is where the world's first certified organic farm. Yeah.

This gentleman's woven into the deep social fabric of the roots of the West Marin horticultural consciousness. This is a... ground zero as it gets we're reporting to you from the bosom of the 707 grow code right here in Sonoma Co man yeah which is a global epicenter of horticultural thought leadership and this gentleman embodies all of that that so and just beautifully it's not what we do it's how we going about doing it so although he's super seth a super nerd about all this he does it so like the way he skates you know just you just you get it this is you get in motion it keeps your brain out of any commotion and this is your garden escape yeah man that you've put energy into and just the right amount i can tell yeah this is where i cruise man you cruise exactly yeah this is where he skates right here so i I added a bunch of lupin to this. Because I love lupine, I love the way it flowers, I think it's, I also love the palm style leaf, you know, like the, the leaf is like, they call that a palm style leaf, I just think it's such a beautiful plant, and so later, later in the season, this will go, go into flower, and it'll, it'll have these big, long, tall flowers that I really love.

And great companion plants. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, and these are all volunteer sunflowers this year.

Yeah, I was wondering about those. Yeah. Yeah.

So they just popped up really early this year, and I was like, man, these sunflowers are way too beautiful, I can't get rid of them. So I'm going to wait for them to flower, and then I'm just going to... gonna chop under the base and plant more like whatever tomatoes and kale and stuff over there because they're just getting so great in about a month those will when we revisit they'll be it might be less than a month you know it's really coming I couldn't get a look at them earlier no now that you show They're huge.

The development. They're huge and they're gonna grow more. I mean it's crazy. That's volunteer. Yes.

So that's what happens when you make your main cash crop the living soil that you grow. You make the soil the main thing that you grow and then guess what? Whatever plants are nearby to it, volunteer or deliberately planted or thoughtfully companionately planted, they're gonna dance. Happy worm, happy soil leads to happy plants. Soil life is all life, bro.

Absolutely. I shouldn't even be in my sandals. I should be walking. I should be barefoot on this wonderful bed of bio that he's done here.

Let's keep moving. Let's go to this next one. This is the Persian cucumber right here.

That's my favorite type of cucumber. I think they're delicious. See, we got a little baby one right there.

These are really good. We just pluck them off fresh. Me and my wife will just come out here and pluck a fresh cucumber and munch on it.

What variety of cucumber? This is Persian cucumber. I think it's called beet alpha.

Beet alpha. the whatever, official name or whatever, but I call it Persian cucumber. And of course, that's next to the calendula, which is about to flower. See, you can see right in there, this calendula is about to get going, and that's next to the tomato.

Another awesome companion plant. Yeah, calendula is great because apparently it will... Again, bugs.

Yeah, push bugs away. And then like you were just saying, these are the peyote skittles. These are some...

They grow really beautifully. When did you put them in? That was a...

A few days ago? No, a couple of weeks ago. It's been a couple of weeks already. I planted them when they were really small. Wow.

Because I just wanted to get them outside. I was sick of having them. having them in and it hasn't been very warm recently so they're they're starting off a little slow but they'll catch up and then speaking of starting off slow all these tomatoes I mean on a normal year these would already be up to the trellis but for some reason you know this year I think they're calling it a La Nina year or something El Nino's coming oh yeah well I think it's still La Nina and then El Nino is gonna hit with a vengeance okay but yeah it's been uncharacteristic this is the coolest spring we've ever had it's very cold yeah so today's a gorgeous day we're blessed to have this yeah yeah normally be Jkune gloom yeah yeah most days like 60 degrees and yeah cloudy and stuff so anyway that's why it's not super pop yeah but we can visit in a month and things oh you look very different indeed yeah it'll warm up is that another volunteer I think I've lost track of which ones are volunteers ones I planted because so beautiful yeah yeah because I like to plant like red and black sunflowers a lot of the time and you know I you know I always try to find the weirdest variety it's like I don't want to just grow bright sunflowers I want to go crazy I don't why not have fun with it yeah so if you look over here this is what I want a lot of my garden to look like you know I want the French marigolds up against the kale with a volunteer sunflower some arugula some tomatoes you know just all this biodiversity in here right next to this cannabis plant so that you know all these plants are gonna send down different root exudates and they're gonna feed the soil in different ways and then that will allow very unique terpenes to be in my plants right you know I'm saying using the microbial matrix web of life below the ground and above it yes so everything that is wrong with mechanized monocrop farming and we're gonna go visit california's dust bowl at some point you and i should do that we should yeah do it because that's happening everywhere like and this is how never to have a dusty soil that just blows away and just do what you how nature would do you know i mean duh so everything that's wrong with that mechanized form of horticulture you you do in the equally opposite extreme end of doing it right. It's not what we do, it's how we go about doing it. Super Seth knows how to do it.

Seriously. Rad, dude. Thank you.

I'm so impressed. We'll keep rocking around here. This is a Table Queen acorn squash, I think.

So I'm looking forward to that. I realized I was buying acorn squashes, and there was this one grocery store that was selling them each for three or four bucks. Holy moly.

I know. I was like, I can't believe that. So I'm trying to grow my own acorn squashes this year. I probably eat less than six.

six a year so maybe i'll just i'll have all the egg red squashes i need you know who knows i'd love to try one if you have an extra one you can't eat man you can have as many as you want um beats paying three bucks i know right and my wife loves them as well i think they're like a really delicious uh The price of food, come on. In place, it's enough to piss off the Pope. Yeah man. So you know, you save hundreds, thousands on your food bill.

Sometimes people come over and they think that this is a diseased lettuce, but it's not. This is... how the lettuce is supposed to look. It's a purple lettuce, or sorry, it's a freckled purple lettuce.

It's like an Italian type of, Yeah, I forget exactly where it's from. One of those heirloom Italian. It's a little more bitter than a normal lettuce, but it's really tasty.

Probably really medicinal. Little bit of anise. anthocyanin in there i think oh wow not not quite as exciting as the what that tastes as good as it looks weird it's a very strange freak show lettuce wow and what's it called uh i just call it freckled lettuce i forget exactly anything that i can eat out of this place is tastes better than you know michelin restaurants thank you man or any even you know organic section of a health food store trial like this is next level well i think uh it's pretty rare how good everything tastes out of this yeah it's pretty rare that a farmer would have the same incentives as the consumer you know right they want to get even if it's an organic farmer and you know all the love to the farmers but they want the product as cheap as they can produce it to show up in the store fresh you know i don't think that you know like it would be hard to sell like a head of this lettuce it doesn't really grow in heads the way that americans want their their head of lettuce you know their photogenic piece of lettuce like this isn't that this is a a really unique weird one and i you know give it all the love that i can and and give it sort of unique fertilizers and sometimes boogie brews sometimes anaerobic fertilizers all this other stuff and so it is going to taste different you know your inputs eventually are your outputs we're going to we're going to talk about your anaerobic ferments yeah yeah yeah we're going to visit that as well as the vermigasm exactly so normally me and josh are aerobic bros right pretty much i'm an aerobic nut i mean that's my business we grow so i don't speak anaerobic language Even though I respect it.

Yeah, yeah. And I think that some people say, oh, you've got to do anaerobic or you've got to do aerobic. And what I think is you've got to have variety. And, like, Jkosh does a great job distributing, you know, aerobic fertilizer throughout the United States. Everyone with the air pumps in the compost tea.

It's not a fertilizer. It's a soil amendment. You know it. You're feeding your soil the ultimate high-octane fuel additive. Yeah.

But he's using lactobacillus and anaerobic ferments in Knf farming. Now. one of my local customers scott super scott he competed with his roommate on who could grow the best cannabis plants in their little humble patch backyard and his roommate was 100 knf and he was 100 boogie okay making tea every week you know practicing you know all the mantras the 9-11 rules the other guy's like you know what i don't even have a boogie budget right i'm gonna do knf yeah and just as crude and as cheap as some struggling North Korean farmer just trying to get out of town, you know, and hand a mouth, right? And guess what? At the end, the results were super close.

Really? Okay, cool. But my bros definitely, I'm not, of course I'm biased, so I'm not going to say which one. Right, I mean, but obviously, but then they came and revisited it where I'm like, well, F that, let me sponsor him if he's too broke to afford tea, you know, because Scott shares, I'm into the sharing economy. of course and so when of course he rocked them both yeah like you're doing yeah and at the right times it's not what we do it's how we go about doing it right yeah why would you pour anaerobic you know all these delicate microbes right near a totally dominator infused anaerobic on the same day it's just like why would you spray nemoil if you had a bug problem to begin with which i know you evidently you don't not right now but i mean yeah you wouldn't do that the neem and brawner soap on the same day day is a rinse off spray with tea you know yeah yeah so i think obviously marrying them right sure you know not of course like i said i am biased yeah i have to disclaim that but i'm gonna say it now straight up if you can't afford teas don't worry it's not like oh now i suck now my garden's not gonna rage because like i said the results were ridiculously close just like i've seen guys who were out in the patch like deep gorilla growers and the only thing they could bring with them was pure protein powder right right and otherwise they're relying on like you know where a bunch of blackberries used to be and they just pulled out every one of them and used salt and vinegar and torched their roots and then in the deep in the woods right and all they did was come back and do pure protein sprays because they didn't have the backpacking capability logistics ability of bringing teas in and even saksa top dressings right they're like f it we're going native one high octane thing we'll use yeah is the pp You know, Duns of Folio on this one.

And they did killer, you know, more than respectable results, right? What would have easily passed for AAA back in the day. Of course, now we have new levels of excellence.

You could also attribute that partially because it sounds like they were growing in... soil. Exactly! There's so much to be said. Queen of the sun-grown, she just can't reiterate that enough, you know.

And so much of what you have here. This is your native grass clippings. There's native leaf mold from your compost bin that even JkK himself...

was blown away by how effective he's like wow you know talk about a cobbled together wonder right wonder barrel you know of bio so um using salt and pepper level stuff like you do low and slow no matter what you do whether you do the teas and the top dressings or you come in there with your knf preps yeah which we're going to visit in a minute yeah yeah which is great to be your scholar you know thank you know i'm eager to learn this from you oh yeah yeah so we'll finish up the tour and then i'll show everyone how to make some Korean natural farming, some free fertilizer. Exactly. So like you just enjoyed a strawberry out of here, this is the strawberry patch.

Such a good berry, can I have one more? Dude, you can have as many as you want. If you find them, it's yours.

Oh dude, little things. Everything edible here is for everyone. This is so good.

So yeah, I mean you already went over this, I love purple kale, I just, I think it grows really beautifully, it tastes really good. The anthocyanin I think is, you know, there's some health benefits there, who knows. Health is your wealth. This guy's a millionaire back here. Seriously.

Thanks man, yeah. And then also you'll probably notice I put all this drip irrigation tubing all over so you know if it ends up getting warmer I'll be able to rely on this. You have that. Yeah, exactly. Are you mostly dry farming right now?

Not really. I mean I come through here. There's a lot of drainage out of these beds. Exactly, yeah.

And also there's a lot of drainage in the soil. So it dries out. I've been visiting Td and we're going to have on the Boogie Channel, because Seth does a great job of taking all of my boogie bags.

babble and we're gonna have it distilled down into an update and just some reports and teas but he's going 100 dry farm this year that's wild that's and they're doing amazing i think i texted you a little video yeah they're just he's it's he's he's like wow you know and he did exactly what i told him to like do because he left to go to oregon and accidentally over watered his plants so you got biochar and insect game in there came in there gave him biochar frass some neem seed meal just in case i told him to to be ready with a product called microstop if he needed it but they didn't mind and now he's left everything alone he literally hasn't hit them since the accident nothing and he sticks his meter in there and it's like nine ten whoa okay and they're just and they're going crazy his plan is to maybe not water at all amazing yeah that's amazing and and can you imagine the turps i know i know dry farming will give you the best turps point all that out of the you know you do everything super seth does and then combine Combine it with utter dry farming. If you were even more blessed than he already is with his backyard wonder bed farm, and you have the ability to do it in the right place. I'm talking about a meadow at our property up north.

Jkust begging to be dry farm, floodplain produce kind of thing. And the turps you get. If you do everything you do and combine that with Bellina-style dry farming, baby. Pretty sick, man. That would be a good turf.

Yeah, so we got even higher. It's too dry here. I can't do that.

Yeah, but still, you practice it. Super. Essentially. I do very light water. Right.

This is less moist. I bet if you stuck a meter in here now, it would be less moist than his is. Yeah, totally. Yeah.

Who knows? That feels like about a seven. Well, who knows? I can't use my finger to tell you.

But you know what I mean? It's definitely not over watered. Right, right.

You would never do that. So then, yeah, these are the rest of the ladies. You know, this one I've been talking about all year.

This is like such a crazy plant. Jkust like Jkosh was saying, I can't keep it defoliated. So I'm always trying to, you know, bring a little bit of leaf material off the plant if it's too crowded inside. I want air to be able to circulate all around the plant and avoid things like molds growing on the plant.

And so I've been, I swear, I come out here, I pull leaves off this thing almost every day when I'm out here, you know. It just, it grows so vigorously. The more you pull, the more she'll come right back. It's true, man. It's like she's taunting you.

Show is. Yeah. So far, this is a great plant, man. Yeah, beauty. So, yeah.

When is she? she supposed to finish? I don't know.

I'm going to look it up later in the season for all the different plants, but for now it's just veg mode right now. So I don't, I'm reckoning no later than the end of September. I hope so.

Full term, right? Yeah. Yeah. Everything here is full term. Yeah.

Most of the autoflowers are out now. So everything we've seen today is a photo period, full term plant. And you said you had some autoflower produce for me? Oh yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, not right now because I got a lot of cure. Yeah, of course.

It's good. Delay grab. gratification.

Exactly. C apparently has some blueberry cupcake he's teasing me to come and get. It's sick.

Yeah, it is sick. It's like getting to have our cake and eat it too in Jkune. Yeah, yeah. Jkust to have that little, you know, flavor party at the beginning of summer. hasn't been warm enough to properly finish like a really good autoflower.

Oh, okay. You can get some okay bud from autoflower if it's been foggy out. They were very forgiving or they didn't like it.

You could tell they really wanted some sun. They wanted a hot day. Yeah, they wanted a bunch of hot days. That's just what cannabis loves, you know?

Yeah, that's how it's done. Anyways, let's go make some natural fun. Yeah, I'm not wearing your hat. As you know, I shamelessly speak aerobic language because Boogie Brew is A-A-C-T, which is actively aerated compost tea.

However, compost tea back in the day, in the Fyndhorn days, would have been a preparation that's utterly anaerobic. And guess what? When that's prepared properly and allowed to...

complete its fermentation process, the end result can work equal wonders on your garden, on your soil. And so what was called AACT has, you know, originally to distinguish itself from old-fashioned farmers, if you want to call it that, compost tea is now, you know, unfortunately, I think it's sad that compost tea is sort of widely viewed as being an AACT, like a boogie brook so anaerobic can be very beneficial because it consists of it's like digesting like the fish hydrolyzed it the pure protein for instance you know you're breaking everything down which is like how black arguably the black soldier fly for us is almost an anaerobic level dominator infused you know anti-antibiotic it's all anaerobic can be antibiotic almost you know by the time you fermented things properly and you You end up with the beneficial strains that you get from, you know, like lab, a lactobacillus preparation, which he's about, which Seth's about to. So I'm sorry, I just don't want to ramble on about aerobic versus anaerobic.

They are clearly distinct. And I want to go back to, you know, the separation that I think is good. Oh, today's not a tea day. Leah, if you show the camera over here, his tea bucket is idle.

Now, I'm like, well, why is it? water. Yeah. And he's... Boring old normal water and not aerating it either.

Or maybe a little aeration, but nothing major. Now, you can add some vinegar to that to disinfect everything. Super. But that poor compost tea bucket is sitting there idle, doing nothing.

However, when I asked him that, why is it idle? Why is there no boogie broom going? Well, today's an anaerobic day. Yeah.

So if you know this is Sunday, a chill day, let the tea... clean itself over there, gas off the air stone and all that, and go for your Knf full lab nerd level anaerobic preparation. So let's get into that.

You've got a couple of different ones and this is the backyard, the utterly free, the one that costs nothing. So we're gonna do two anaerobic ferments today. One is gonna be totally free and the other one is gonna be really cheap but not quite free.

So this is comfrey. I grow it in my yard. it I think it's native to like Europe and Russia and stuff and people use it as medicine a lot of the time I know that there's a lot of medicinal benefits but the other thing that people use it for is as like an accumulator species like it'll send a taproot way deep down like ten feet into the ground and it'll like gather all those minerals and put it into its leaves so these leaves are like very you know nutritionally dense leaves so what you can do is you chop this all up into a bucket and then you add a little bit of water and you let it sit for like three or four weeks and then when it's done with that all of these leaves you know they're very thin and papery they'll just fall apart in the water so the plant basically disappears and it all gets totally integrated into the water as it's fermenting and then when you pour that on your plants you're giving them like this infusion of all these different nutrients that have just been breaking down and fermenting in the bucket right comfrey is also a super plant food yeah yeah in its own right completely separate from tree and then going to its medicinal values like the romans used to bring it to their own their battlefields with though for their soldiers healing their wounds quicker because one of its medicinal properties for humans is um allantoin which uh heals bones that's amazing yeah but you don't want to ingest it john will tell you okay you don't want to do it long term because comfrey can be hard on the human liver if you were to go crazy uh you know it is medicinal it's got medicinal value and should be respected I want some sharper...

...sissors than me. These scissors are a little dull, but we're getting through it. So I'm just gonna chop this stuff all up into here.

Mmm, I just ate some of the flour and it's delicious. Really? What does it taste like?

It tastes really good. You should try some before you make it. ferment like this or no a fresher one these are like dead yeah they got the one on top okay i see one down here all right let's try this so good yeah some allantoin dude i told you yeah don't give it all to them microbes. Yeah, man.

Let the humans have some and then the microbes can have the rest. So anyway, this is going to fall apart in the water so you don't need to be too precious about it. Comfrey is like a very soft... It didn't feel that tapery thin to me. It feels pretty tough.

I don't know. It's a super soft plant. Well, bottom line is it falls apart in the water. It dissolves really quick.

It really does, yeah. Wow, I can't wait to come back and see it. I know. Well, the nice thing is I made one a while back so we'll be able to show off...

Oh, we've got one up. Yeah, we'll be able to show off the final product today. How old is that one?

A month? No. So that one's faster because I added sugar to that one.

So that one's four days old. I think when you add sugar... You can make this stuff in four days? I think so. I mean, usually people say wait a week or whatever.

I don't know. We'll see how it's doing. Yeah.

And if it looks like it's been fermenting and it's all... Maybe wait another day or two. We'll just take a look. We'll see how it is.

But yeah. So that's it. That's too easy. Yeah.

So you add... The stalks too. Yeah.

You add all this stuff and you add water and then a lot of people will add sugar. I'm trying to make a free one right now. Sugar's not free, so... So this definitely won't take longer.

This will definitely take longer, yeah. Three weeks. I'd say a good three weeks on a non-sugary one. And the other thing I would do for this is... Here, I'll donate some flowers back in.

There you go. Yeah, I have just my medicinal dose there. So you can rip all this up, and then... I'll go grab the water.

Yeah, I wonder if you shredded it, you know, if you had, like, a workforce blender. Yeah, yeah. Jkust if you're trying to go for a bit quicker.

Yeah. It doesn't matter. Stuff just breaks down. Exactly. So I'll be right back with the hose.

Wow. That's interesting. I didn't know you said one drop.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's nice. So here, check it out.

Let's get down into it. We're just going to fill it up to the top of the comfrey. We're making a small batch today. We don't need a ton. Low and slow.

Low and slow, baby. That's all you need. All right? That's literally like one head of one comfrey plant. That's it.

And then what I might do is I might, you know, grab my shirt. I wonder if people do this with the dried comfrey that you can buy at health food stores. Oh yeah.

I mean I don't see why not. I don't know. I bet it works better with the fresh leaves.

It smells good. I bet there's something with the chlorophyll degradation and stuff that is actually needed for it to work right. It would be an interesting experiment.

You know, just for shits and giggles, to try one with some bulk comfrey like the e-file or whatever it's more like. Yeah, totally. That's a good call.

Jkust say, oh, well, I did it with some comfrey. Stuff I got on Amazon is dried stuff. I have a real hunch that you need the fresh stuff.

Yeah, I bet. All right, so then... Not much water at all.

Yeah, really not that much. Here, let me keep getting it in there. I mean that's gonna dry right out. There's gonna be like a pace. This will surely this will just dehydrate.

Yeah I said oh I mean maybe. I don't know. The water by the time you're done especially if you're going for the longer you're probably gonna need to add some water. It'll have a cap though. So check this out.

Oh, okay. You keep it all capped. Of course, that's part of the anaerobics. In my kitchen...

Depriving it of oxygen. Yeah, sorry. It's all good. So in my kitchen, when a plate gets cracked or chipped or whatever, I bring it into the garden. No way.

perfectly inside of there. That's sick. So I'll just, you know, that lets a little bit of air in, but really not very much. So that'll stay pretty anaerobic this whole time. And then when I'm done, I just pick it up like that.

I think I'm actually going to go plate down. What does that say on it? Anthropology. This is where my wife got the plates.

So anyways. Thank you, wife. Look at that.

I think the other way was better. Yeah, I think so. All right, ready?

That looks pretty cool. All right. I'd get it. No, the way you had it first.

Yeah, yeah. Get it snug. Yeah, I like that. All right, cool.

So, you know what? I'm gonna do I'm gonna write a little label on this I'll grab some tape and today is Jkune 11th he's stoner proofing it exactly document when it was made no always take 30 seconds to do this now it's gonna save you hours of heart Humphrey CO MF REY yeah good job yeah yeah that's free zero sugar hey and F raw six slash eleven there we go no sugar exactly yeah I'll say no sugar NS all right then you know that's like three weeks exactly Jkuly 4 to this oh yeah yeah we'll have to visit Jkuly 4th weekend and inspect your fresh Head of Comfrey. Garden hose water, filtered water, a donated plate, and the bottom of a Home Depot bucket. And it's going to produce an ultra-high grade anaerobic ferment that is utterly beneficial for you.

your garden. Tons of good microbes. Cost you zero dollars. Exactly. So now we'll move on.

This is the free one. Now we're going to move on to the cheap one, but with a lot more cool ingredients. So for our second batch of Knf. This is FPJk, by the way, fermented plant juice.

That's what it's called. So FPJk, we're going to make a slightly more intense one, one that's maybe a little bit more powerful, a few more ingredients. So the first thing I like to do is I like to start off by grabbing some rose petals. So let's check this out. Go over to any rose bush, any rose, and just pluck some petals off.

Maybe don't pluck the ones right in the front of the plant so that it stays pretty, but these ones at the back, these aren't doing much. much so I just grab all these rose petals throw them in here and if you get enough yeah just grab a little bit of rose petals now what if someone wasn't lucky enough to have a super seth charged rose yeah well like a rose on steroids it can they make it without the yeah yeah so all of these all of these ingredients are totally optional you know it's like yeah really what you're looking for is a bunch of plant matter mixed with a bunch of sugar and then you just let that sit that's the bottom line is you get a bunch of plant matter, get the sugar, and then just let it do its thing. So see? This just, oh, it smells so good.

Yeah, this is just a little supercharged version. Let me smell this. Yeah. So then check this out. Oh, man.

Here, come with me really quickly, let's check this out. So everyone's got dandelions everywhere, right? Like I find dandelions in between the cracks in my bricks. See this?

So there's a dandelion petal. You got another, oh yeah, there's another. So here, hand that one to me.

And then the petals. Jkust the, yeah, just the flowers. Okay.

And then follow me over here. Before Jkosh and Leah showed up today, I grabbed... Oh, look at that. He's already gone.

A bunch. He already went walkies and found some. There you go. So that's a bunch of dandelion that you need. So that didn't cost anything.

Neither did the comfrey. And in your case, neither did the rose. Well, how many people have roses? I mean, roses have got to be the most popular flower in the world. They're pretty ubiquitous.

Yeah, but still. Yeah. So then I've also got the cannabis leaf.

So take the cannabis leaf. Again, this is plant matter that is free. they're begging you to please keep managing that canopy. Exactly. So we've got cannabis leaf in there.

So he's returning the plant. It's going full circle to feed its soil again. Yeah.

Right there as it's growing with an interminable canopy that you can barely manage. Yeah. So you can keep this a lot simpler.

Like I was saying, that's why I wanted to do the first one as an example. All you really need is comfrey and water and an anaerobic. situation, but if you want to get a little more fancy with it, you can add a bunch of cool ingredients and get an even more supercharged fertilizer. And you could do it without comfrey too.

Yeah. Oh yeah. So a lot of the time... It's just plant matter and sugar. Yeah.

I mean, come on. A lot of the time people will make it out of pure dandelion, pure comfrey, or they'll even use like a local fruit, you know, like you can just take a bunch of peaches and mash them up. And as long as you're not putting a bunch of peach pits that are viable in your garden, then you're totally good. And all that peach just becomes like... delicious sugar for your plant to eat.

And all very medicinal too. Totally. Most of the ingredients he's using have medicinal values. Jkust about every plant has multiple uses. Well, peach has the B17 and it's anti-cancer or whatever.

Wow. It smells good doesn't it? Oh yeah, this is such a healthy batch of fresh, freshly harvested green leafy material.

Wonderful. All the minerals, you know. You can tell it's such a mineral dense.

And I love that you're getting all those minerals for free, and they're dissolving easily too, you know? Yeah. This paper-like leaf.

Like I said, I think it's tough right now. Yeah, yeah. But in no time...

turn into cellulose that's just dissolving itself. Yeah. That's awesome. All right. And then another thing people like to do is they like to add various seeds.

So pumpkin seeds are well known. I think they're, I think they're well known for being high in potassium, if I recall correctly. So we'll take just a handful of pumpkin seeds. Zinc. Is it zinc?

Well, I mean, that's what they're famous for, for men. You know, when you get a bit older, Seth, you start thinking about your prostate. Oh, okay.

So that's, again, another medicinal. grade superfood. Everything in here so far has been like, you know, and, and speaking of superfood. Yeah, my favorite. So this is raw hemp seed.

So I'm going to take a little bit of this. No way. Not that it needs to be ground up any finer, but may as well, right?

So in here we've got the dandelion, the pumpkin seed, and the hemp seed. Yeah, we're good to just throw that in. So I'm gonna bring the blender out here.

We're gonna blend it up and then we're gonna add our inoculant which is Effective Microorganism 1. This is EM1. This is like... Chromteroganic.

Yeah, yeah. This is a well-loved product in the living soil. community I'd say just about every living soil grower is gonna have you know this is gonna be there I yes I have a bottle I bought a bottle with some water in it but at least it's em1 it's good stuff it's well loved by organic exactly that's an intelligent bottle right exactly and it's pretty concentrated right it's not a single you concentrated they're not just shipping water all over the country you know that they're doing it right yeah so I'm gonna go grab the blender so we've got you know it's not really that much stuff it doesn't take much just to add a little bit of extra oomph to your KNF So we're gonna get the blender all plugged in, and we're also gonna add a secret ingredient, some boogie black, everyone's favorite insect frass. That's some of the old stuff.

Yeah, yeah. So this boogie black is going to give us a little bit of like an inoculant, you know, it'll be like all of those organisms, the microorganisms on the outside of the BSFL that come along with it are gonna help infuse this little thing we've got going here and is gonna give it. all the nutrients that it needs and all the little microorganisms that you know will populate it and then feed the soil eventually it's gonna keep it friendly microbes yeah for sure exactly all right here comes a loud noise Yeah, not much. The hemp, it meals up quick.

That's part of my secret for a good living hemp milk, when you drink it. Jkust pre-mill it like you just did, not even for as long as you just did. Because that's all those fatty acids.

I think it wasn't really it wasn't really like blending the way I wanted it to super set is not happy here he's not a piece of perfectionist well the reason I do this is because I want the nutrients from the pumpkin seeds but I don't viable pumpkin seeds to be entering my garden and then just like, you know, like if a pumpkin seed. Making sure it's really dissolved. Exactly.

Here goes. Okay, that's more like it. All right. Doesn't take much in the new circle.

That's the super seed milk. Exactly, okay. With the flowers.

Yeah. The dandelion. And the rose.

Oh, yeah, I guess the rose is already in there. Okay. Look at that.

Oh, man. What a waste. Yeah. Not if it goes to make you amazing.

It's got the EM1. That's not a waste at all. Oh, for sure. So then we're going to add some Boogie Black.

This Black Soldierfly Larva Frass is... I think it's the best stuff in the world. I add it to just about everything. There we go.

Oh, that's not the Entera. That's so funny. That's the new one.

Yeah, this is the new stuff. You can tell just by the way it looks. Because it's fed with beer grains, so it smells a little bit like fresh bread.

Yeah, it does. You're right. Yeah.

It smells pretty good, honestly. Oh, it's great. Good stuff.

So then a lot of the... more protein in this one yeah yeah so uh then a lot of the time what people will do is they'll add sugar to their knf solution uh in order to increase the microbial activity in there so what i do is when i go over to my parents house or i go over to a good friend's house i end up looking through their cabinets and i say oh you guys come on i'm sure you got a little bit of uh you know leftover expired sugar maybe you were trying to bake a pie three thanksgivings ago and you still for some reason have some light brown sugar left over that's now been expired for two years I grab that out of people's cabinets only my good friends because that's that's weird to do to people You don't know well, right? Right.

I grab everyone's old sugar and I keep it as my garden sugar So this is super sets ultimate sugar mix. This is just whatever sugar I could find from around trying to you know I'm trying to be a guy as possible Gavin tells sugar it is expired. You know, there's some weird little clumps in here, but the microbes aren't gonna know.

Yeah So I'll throw it might even aged right and each sugar might even be beneficial Right and so So the ratio that people go to is a one to one by weight. So if you want to get really official about this, you should weigh the plant matter you're putting in and then weigh the sugar you're putting in and have it just be a one to one ratio. It's super easy, but you think that was about one to one? No, no, not yet.

I don't think there's enough in there yet. Oh, you're going to boost it. I'm going to add some other stuff. So just to prove that you can use a bunch of different types of sugar, I'm going to go through all these different sugars that I've got. One type of sugar is fine.

I bet a bunch of types of sugar is even better. That's just a guess though. So this is some organic molasses that I use in my garden all the time.

And I'll put a little... Oh, that's a healthy dose. Yeah, it's a nice bit of molasses.

A lot of calcium. Yeah, man. And then Jkosh's favorite The sucan and sugar you right You recommended me this stuff the first time we talked. Oh, I didn't know Now distributes it.

That's a good label. Oh, okay. Cool. Yeah, well, they're affordable. Sweet, sweet.

I'm glad Now has it. It's good to know. And then...

Oh, man, I can smell the molasses more. The molasses smells amazing. No, the Sucanite has a richer smell.

It does. Ooh. Now for your one-stop shop for your sugar you want to get all your bricks in one place now that's plus Plus the maxi crop is amino acids in there. Yeah, this is good stuff I'm opening this one, but you don't need this you don't need no you know you you can use any type of sugar you want but yeah we're keeping it this is keeping it affordable exactly oh yeah that's beautiful yeah that is a good product that is awesome man all right rad and then this is pretty interesting so coconut water it's basically a dehydrated coconut water and microbes love it. Oh it's such a great prebiotic.

Yeah so it's mostly sugar but it's made out of coconut so can I try some? Super man, have as much as you want. Oh yeah, that's gonna be pretty strong. It might be sweet. What is it like coconut candy?

Wow. It is sweet but it's salty too. Okay.

Yeah sweet. You can taste the minerals for sure. Wow.

Epic. That's wild. Okay and we already added the EM1 but I'll just put a little extra splash of some EM1. one in there just to make sure it's it's all covered see okay all right now that is no more water no we're gonna add a lot of water we are gonna add water okay so now this is gonna be a really amazing knf once we got it all together you know it already smells so good yeah so the microbes are gonna be going crazy in there yeah it smells what is it smells like wine or something dude it has such a good fermented water what a combination yeah amazing so this one we can let sit for a lot shorter period of time because it's already got the This one, check back in a week. Exactly.

Yeah. So. For sure. That was a high-octane recipe.

I'm going to put a label on this. This is a KNF. An SS. FPJk. SS.

Super, super-seft. Yeah. Super-charged.

So you'll notice on, you know, with KNF, everyone has these three-letter acronyms. KNF, Korean Natural Farming. FPJk, Fermented Plant Jkuice. We'll say this is. LAB.

Yeah, LAB, Lactobacillus Bacteria. This is F. P Jk with sugar on 6 slash 11. Okay, sweet. I would put SS.

Well, I already know who made it. Super Seth, yeah. This is a uniquely high octane blade.

Yeah, yeah, this is going to be a nice unique one. There's umpteen variations of this that could probably be done at lower cost still. Yeah, I mean what do you got a few dollars maybe and the actual yeah, I mean the sugar was free Let's say the em1 is probably the most expensive part of this and that's just because it's you know It's a concentrated fertilizer, right? So a lot of people go in there and they'll like massage it in with their hand That's not how I roll, I'm not gonna do that.

I'm sure the microbes will all get to know each other and they'll all get to, you know, moving around and eating each other. Moving around, yeah. It'd be neat to study this stuff. Yeah, exactly.

Under a scope and see all the action. I'm gonna grab the stuff I recently made. Alright, so...

This is from, I think I made this four days ago or so. This is a sugared bat. Yeah, so this has sugar in it, so it shouldn't take quite as long.

So let's just see how it did down here. Oh yeah, it's definitely not done. But you can see, and you can smell.

that it's um we've got some bugs in there too yeah it's breaking down slowly but surely i think i need to mix it around a little more and uh and that might get it to keep moving but i'll probably come back to this in three more days and it'll be usable at that point but what you do or what i would do do let me smell let me get yeah sure yeah it smells good though it does yeah you want it to stink eventually eventually it's going to start being rancid and that's when you use it you want the ammonia like smell what i do is i just put this here and then pour all the water out see you can separate that all that water that's down there you actually want that out of there the water you want excess water out of there no no i would i would use that water as the fpj right now in three days so in three days time what i'll do is I'll separate these. See, I'll use the plate to separate them. And then that water is what I'll water into my plants.

You know, I'll put it in like a little hand-watering thing. Fermented plant juice. Exactly. And then...

FPJk. And that juice is what you want to use on your plants in order to give them all those microbes. An anaerobic decoction.

Exactly. So I think I'm actually going to add a little bit more water to this. Okay. And then I'm going to stir it. Yeah, it hasn't gone nearly anaerobic yet.

It's still way too sweet. Way too sweet. It smells good. It smells good. It's not supposed to smell good when it's done.

You want the gnar gnar. Exactly. When it's done, it's supposed to be gross.

They say stink in, stink out. So if you put gross KNF... On your soil, you'll get really stinky buds at the end of the year.

You want stinky in a good way at the end, but stinky in a bad way at the beginning. The exact opposite of good aerobically-informed activated compost tea, which you want that to smell sweet and earthy. He's got his bamboo mix ready to go.

High-tech bamboo. Oh yeah. Alright, so I'm just mixing that around.

It's really gross. And that's gonna make a really concentrated solution. See how it's like almost all plant and then there's just like water just barely Yeah, covering the surface of it. That's gonna be super super super concentrated So some people say you dilute this one to one thousand with water or maybe one to five hundred with water depending on You know how actually strong the juice that you extract Exactly you dilute it very heavily You know, it reminds me of like Bach flower essences, you know, just a few drops. Or homeopathy, you know, where it becomes stronger when you dilute it more.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, interesting. I didn't even know about that. There are some parallels to that, yeah.

Arnica, for instance, when it's more diluted in homeopathy, it actually works. You know, 600x dilution instead of 60x is actually a lot stronger. Wow. Yeah, it's vibrational medicine is how homeopathy kind of works.

nuts so there's some some vibrational energy with your knf yeah look at that smells like smells like apple cider kind of really interesting seriously smells good it smells great and nothing in there right now wouldn't be beneficial oh yeah no this is good the whole way through i could drink some of this yeah everything in here is edible right i guess except for the insect trash which is kind of gross and what about the knf stuff itself oh the em1 stuff i mean the mf one yeah yeah the mf itself is questionable Yeah, it might be gross. I'm not gonna get you sick. No, it's just a bunch of shit It's my career and the other frass is pretty Yeah It wouldn't hurt you no, I mean I and I you know, I bet like I'm not gonna do had intestinal problems or something You might even I would consider it.

Yeah, I'd intestinal problems. That's what they feed the chickens when the chickens All right, so we're gonna let this sit for a week and and And I'll film it when I come back to it and I'll let you know how it goes. And I'll also send the video to JkK so he can post it in his video as well. There you go.

We'll have a report. Yeah. Yeah.

Because this is all on behalf of you, Mr. Kohler. Yeah. Yeah. Proud to present this Super tech right here.

Yeah, man. Oh, dude. Speaking of Super tech, let's check in on the Oystercado tech from last time.

Dude. Let's check it out. The Vermigasm.

That's actually right here. The Vermigasm. I'm going to try to not step on any of these things we just pulled out. But here, Leah, come check this out. You see where the zoom is on that?

We're going to... Look at this. All right, so this...

This little shell. This oyster was filled with avocado and your vermicow. The CVC.

The CVC that Jkosh is currently developing. Let's see how it's doing under there. Oh, yeah.

Oh, my God. Look at that. That is a vermigasm right there.

That's crazy. Yeah, they're having a full-on orgy down there. And what they do is they create a little biofilm around themselves.

So they... They're all just in here creating babies, you know? And they're going to reproduce and they're going to go throughout the soil. That's a vermi factory. That's a little breeding heaven.

So all that is, is just... Go over that again. You took an avocado. Avocado.

You mashed it into... the oyster shell uh yeah jk mashed it up in a bowl with a little bit of your cvc and then a little bit of worm chow that i just had sitting around and just scooped it into the oyster shell placed it face down and then like a quarter inch to a half inch of soil or like whatever just a little mulch on the side so that the worms uh don't see sunlight when they're getting into it because worms don't like sunlight and the stuff called worm chow not the cvc chow that's basically just a corn meal it's like corn and multivitamins for your worms it's really vitamins are in there yeah okay so it's bulk i mean i have the nutritional yeast it's in the cvc yeah so they got a whole lot more organic vitamins right from the brewer's yeast i think they really like the brewer's yeast they do something tells me they love it and also in brewer's yeast there's trace elements like copper and things like that which will really bring out the terpenes in your cannabis plant that's true yeah so if the worms are pooping that brewer's yeast influenced diet you know yeah that's evolved form of copper that your plants then take Yeah, and for all the growers out there a lot of the time you'll see like terpene infusion bottle and you'll be able to like buy a bottle of like stuff that says that it's gonna make terpenes in your Plants go crazy and really what that is most of the time is sulfur Copper and maybe like a little bit of iron and maybe a little bit of calcium magnesium, but like generally You're just paying for water and what you should really do is get a more sensible product like a you know Like a brewer's yeast or whatever net has naturally occurring copper and the good stuff that's gonna bring At the terpenes like you don't need it in the bottle, but you really know you can have some garlic for the soul Yeah, yeah, any anything in that family with that family called Soul something either way things like onions shallots garlic whatever anything like that family's cool yeah exactly you can add that in for your sulfur and then maybe even a bit of have some salts for shits and give yeah for some magnesium if you're trying to make them the mineral content higher call i've heard people having great results where they just when they're going to do a foliar feeding they just sprinkle in a little bit of epsom salt for the magnesium yeah a little bit is a long way salt on food yeah go low and slow with the magnesium so anyway yeah so that's probably why they're that's my hunch but i know that brian from organic solution told me years ago when we traded him a load of black soldier fly for us and he just was amazed you know really his worms loved that that's sick yeah There's actually two different kinds in there. Okay. And now we have that fresh frass.

Yeah, yeah. That I got from this lady, which is scary how potent it smells. Really?

Oh, man, I want to give it a try. I forgot to bring you some. Next time, next time.

Yeah, yeah, it's sitting there. Rad, dude. I'd love to try it. So it went from famine to feast with the frass. We had no frass.

And now we have, like, three kinds. Yeah. The down-to-earth, which is, like, super chitin-looking, really lightweight, but all exoskeletal-looking kind of matter. Yeah, yeah.

Really cool. pupal shells it's really cool looking like mineral rich chitin rich yeah and then we have the protein dense one the enviroflight one that john connected us with enviroflight right and uh and then we got this fresh stuff recently yeah which you were saying that like on instagram they're all begging for fresh grass yeah i hear a lot on instagram and youtube about how like uh you know fresh grass is way better it's probably got more microorganisms in it and it's like it's had less time to just you decay and dry out and stuff i think the legality of a packaged frass like the one we got from enterra um was it was composted yeah and i think that's because in it's black soldier fly poop and it has everything right you know when it's that fresh so there might be coli levels but what you what they're not telling you is the fresh stuff also has if it has some e coli it's also gonna have way more of those dominator beneficial ones you know but of course the powers that be be the regulatory, le petit fonctionnaire, bureaucracy, mandates, I think, so that might be, you know, a point of concern, and I think what your neighbor's doing and making it themselves, and what Living Web Farms, that wonderful YouTube university, mostly women-powered, living soil nerds out of the East Coast, I think one of the Carolina states, they have some, yeah, we should post the link, sure, and Jkohn have it, put the link to the the Living Web Farms series on black soldier fly production in your own backyard. Because I think long term, that's just like you have your own, but you have a neighbor next door spoiling you with more frass than he can already out of his. So you're harvesting these resources from the hood.

Totally, man. All right, Rad. Well, let's sit down and chat the garden stuff in. All right.

All right, so that was a pretty awesome little super set, super charged. mini garden tour and it's an honor to do it with you and participate here like I keep saying I can't repeat that enough What's up with this Chapin sprayer that you've got sitting over here? Well first of all I'm honored that you and Jkohn have you know taken me under your wing and you know Come to my garden and shown it off I feel like really blessed that you guys are here and and that his audience is even interested I mean this is just my hobby, but I love doing it, and I love showing it off So we can we can get like a healthy mycorrhizal Yeah fungal messengers in the right place at the right time. Exactly. So this, for all the living soil nerds out there, if you want to get really nerdy...

And be loyal to your soil. If you want to be loyal to the soil and you read everything Kootz writes and you watch all his videos, then you know he loves the Chapin sprayer. So this is like the high quality version of like a hand waterer, you know what I mean? Like this is, it's all metal parts and you can put like some of your fertilizers in here. here you know like you can put a wedding agent in here you can put anything in here and it'll just spray it right out like they're made for like very heavy duty things and so you know industrial concrete spray exactly like if you want like you'd find that at harbor freight maybe yeah oh yeah they must have these are arbitrary but anyways wow and it's full of water that's been rock solid for you never had it the nozzles are easy to clean big time i've never cleaned them and they're fine yeah and so you would put like your knf for um i guess you could yeah right I'd put anything in there and just spray it.

it out onto the soil so when your plants get a dose of supersets vitamin L the love it comes through this a lot of the time either through my garden hose or if I'm if I'm being a little bit more particular or I'm feeding the mother plants inside then I'll use this shape and sprayer you know what about one of those silly little plastic hose on those are good too man but I use those occasionally I've used those in the past but this year I'm trying to go as much metal and as little plastic there you go as possible I'll say thanks Someone should make a much better version of a Hosen's. Yeah, yeah. There's got to be a market for a really good quality metal can.

Yeah, man. You should find one. No doubt. Yeah.

So the other thing we wanted to talk about is that all of the GYGers, the loyal GYGers, have seen TD's amazing grow series, both the first year you did it and the second year, right? Loyalty over royalty. Yeah. Yeah.

TD did an amazing job growing some excellent living. living soil cannabis and Jkosh has been kind enough to bequeath some of that on to me and as I've been using it don't thank me thank TD sure I'll thank I'll thank both you guys yeah as I've been using it I've been finding little seeds in the bag and so this is a TD's gorilla glue number four bag seed plant oh it's falling over a little bit in the wind but I've been having it inside so it's not used to the GG for yeah it's so bomb oh my yeah like it's crazy dude I came across heat He donated some for like a year and a half. It's aged so well.

That's crazy. 18 months. 18 months is so long. Right, but I mean, it's still so potent.

I know. You tried it and you got seeds out of it. Dude, it smokes like it's hash. Right. It smokes like it's hash.

It's crazy, man. It's ridiculous how good it is. I shared a doobie about it. Aged, you know, it's supposed to be funky.

I mean, it's starting to lose some of its curb appeal. Oh, for sure. A bit more yellow. You couldn't sell it in a club, for sure. Yeah?

No, I don't think you could sell it in a club. No, you couldn't. No, you couldn't. But they said... They say that aged weed can have some, you know, there's a whole cold.

Dude, tie sticks. That's what a tie stick is. Is aged. Well, what they did was.

And apparently when it's aged right, apparently it can improve. Yes. So what they did with tie sticks. Apparently.

They would take a bunch of the tie bud and then they'd take the big tie fan leaves and they'd wrap it really tight around the tie buds. And then they'd like seal it off on the ends. And then they'd let that sit in a box for like a year. And then, and then you. roll it and it's like this like it's not fermented but it's like this aged thing and it's different like it smokes different it tastes different it's not different effect on you so different it's different yeah for sure which is pretty rad but yeah so you know if you had some of that TD gorilla blue for you couldn't sell it in a club but honestly to me it's much better than most of the stuff I find in the club exactly and what's up with the clubs do okay I mean there's no good living soil weed yeah in these dispensaries there are very few Yeah, they're very few.

It's so hard to find proper sun-grown and the proof is always in the terpene pudding. Yes, right I mean we were just talking about that, you know dry farmed with biological farming methods. Yeah, come on So doesn't it doesn't get better exactly?

So how can you issue the issue with the club? Is that you've got you've got really boring genetics like everyone's gonna grow across of runs Everyone's gonna grow across of skittles. Everyone's gonna grow across of the same old genetics We've all had which we I love I I just named a bunch of great strains. Whatever it is that year. Exactly.

There's always going to be some strain that every person has, and you're rarely going to find a truly unique one. Like, you could not go to any club in the area and find a Thai native strain. You just couldn't.

You couldn't find Freak Show. You couldn't find any of this, you know? Well, then how is that a club experience when it's just the canned, the same of everything? Whatever the pop culture flavor of the year is, or multiple flavors. And beyond that, they're probably all using the same flavor.

the same boring dead reents in their in their soil and they're not using soil they're not using soil they're probably growing in rock well which is totally inert and totally lame and boring and when all of the cannabis clubs smell the exact same you can imagine that that's because they're all using the same fertilizers which give them the same terpenes and you know it's like it's the same across the board everyone has like a race to the bottom where they buy the same fertilizers the same genetics the same even the same lights down to the same humidifiers just there is a formula that people go to the club and they have this deadriant formula that they follow and maybe they can produce a pound for $60. Right. Big whoop. No one wants your crappy $60 pound.

What they really want is to taste the cannabis, they want to feel the cannabis in a unique way, they want to have like an experience, you know what I mean? Like when I tell people that what I'm growing is native to Thailand, they're like, whoa dude, I've never even heard of that. Like I thought everything was a hybrid of a hybrid of a hybrid these days, but no, it doesn't have to be.

I mean, come on, vegetable farmers are so proud of, you know, their Thai peppers. Yeah, yeah. Hot chocolate Thai pepper or whatever, right?

So, why wouldn't people embrace, and that's the beauty of cannabis, is the diversity. Yeah, it's a lot like tomatoes, you know, like you can go to the grocery store and you can buy a big red... beefsteak tomato for a dollar or you can you know you can grow your own and you've got all these bizarre purple cherokee style you know things that you just don't see very often that unique lettuce that you have yeah the one you can't even identify the freckle lettuce i'll come up with I'll find the name for that.

Yeah, yeah. That's awesome, man. Yeah. So what about these farmers? Like, what is it going to take to educate them?

Because you're still the minority. Right. I mean, you know, I don't know.

When I went to that Living Soil Life Summit, it was, you know, a couple of hundred soil nerds. But it felt more like such a minority was the vibe, you know. What's it going to take? I mean, these people are all so addicted to their formulaic approach. I think educating consumers, man.

I mean, if people really understood that non-organic fertilizers are literally made from petroleum byproducts. Right, oil and gas. Yeah, I don't think the average person internalizes that while they're smoking their flower. It's like that flower was made from the stuff that spits disgusting black sludge out of the exhaust pipe of a car.

I mean, it's the same thing. It's the same exact, you know, whatever, parent material for both things. And so... You know, the consumers need to be educated. The clubs need to stop just pushing THC.

Like if someone walks into your club and they say, oh, I want something with 35% THC in the flour, then you say, wait, why do you want that? Is it because you want to have a psychedelic effect? Because that's not necessarily the best way to have a psychedelic effect. Do you want to relieve pain? Because that's not really the best way to relieve pain.

Counting the number percentage of THC is totally irrelevant. Like I don't, when I buy beer at the store, I don't say, oh, well, this beer is 11% and this beer is 5%. Right. I just want the 11% beer.

Like, the 11% beer is disgusting. And the 35% THC cannabis, that sounds like an anxiety attack just waiting to happen. It could be.

I like some 16%, 17% high THC, that means. 16% or 17% THC, some high terpenes, tons of the CBD, CBN, all that good stuff. You know, the unique tasting stuff. That's what I'm after. So, yeah, what will it take to answer your original question?

I think educating the consumer comes first. Educating the club is a close second. second and then just they're just gonna put that demand on the farm then the demand will be placed on the farmers you hope to please not produce chemical crap exactly and the same old boring genetics from the same way under the same lights blah blah blah you know i would love john's viewers to post some of their thoughts yeah yeah on your diversity campaign yeah for sure for sure yeah uh put it in the comment section uh we'd love to take a look and just just see you know what i mean like you Yeah. I'm always curious what other people have to say. Yeah, yeah.

And some of the old-timers out there, I bet you know that tie stick. Yeah, yeah. I'd be curious.

I've never got my hands on one, but I'd be very curious. I might try to make one, man. Wouldn't that be cool? Oh, dude. With this tie knitted?

I could totally try to make a tie stick. Yeah, I would love to have one reincarnated by you. Yeah, wouldn't that be rad?

I would love to celebrate. Yeah. And that one's going to be a real full-termer.

Are you scared of how tall she's going to get? I've thought about it. I mean...

You haven't topped her? I topped her once, yeah. she's already been topped yeah that's why she's got those four heads yeah exactly yeah man craziness yeah um and yeah i mean as as john keeps coming back and checking in on the plant we'll see how it goes um i'm not opposed to topping it again maybe even two more times or something you know only because of this backyard and not wanting it to because i don't know i mean i don't know if my neighbors care i'm not sure yeah i mean imagine if you just just let it rip like a tree just let it rip it would be rad that'd be sick i'll try it dude i don't know express uh your your feelings yeah yeah let me know should he keep talking and should he just go for yeah rocket height dude i might just go for rocket height that sounds pretty rad you might want to man i don't know be careful what you wish for what if i had like a 30 foot tie dude plant in my backyard how crazy would that be let me see it are you down i'm totally that could be rad let's do it well let's see when jk is back here in like three months or something then we'll really know let's get his blessings yeah man yeah we'll see what he thinks yeah he asked me for one of td you know I got a couple of TD me down plans I have some for Jkohn as well yeah and then I donated them to another local boogie customer I'm proud of him for taking them blueberry cupcake and blueberry muffin vanilla cream pie all Humboldt seed all Humboldt seed yeah that's awesome man this freak show man the freak show is rad dude it's so cool and that just came out as far as I know I'm not I don't know I've never seen it I've never smoked it news to me I love how you're so connected Keep an eye on everything.

You got your finger on it. The pulse of so much it makes it stoner proof for me I get to know how to do things better what to use what not to use This is our new R&D make it happen boogie captain. Thank you, man. I'm honored. I love it.

What do you think about you? the ingredients that are in the CVC, not just as a worm food, but also concurrently, to me, it looks like it might be the ultimate, like, your level of salt and pepper style, low and slow, occasional top press. Well, just look at the ingredients. I mean, the ingredients are everything you would want in an ultra-concentrated top dress.

Very concentrated. It is, no it is. There's no BS in there.

There's no corn. We're not shipping corn halfway across the United States, or whatever, you know what I mean? I was paranoid about it not meeting Super Steve C. level of approval, you know?

Like, no animal slaughterhouse byproducts, you know? And then, when I saw the, I mean, you look at the ingredients in, like, the down-to-earth vegan mix, and then you look at the numbers. and that's like what three two two or and then the neem seed meal is more nitric but you add in all that bruises and then i know that frass well its numbers tend to be more nitrogen but here's the thing frass really stimulates flower formation right you know so i have a sneaky suspicion that by accident this vermi super supplement chow that john you know pretty much insisted boogie brood needs to develop this otherwise he was right man he was right well yeah but i I have a feeling that it actually can play, that might actually be second fiddle to what it could also be, which is a really good replacement for a lot of top dressing products.

We might have inadvertently created an amazing top dressing. It's like a terpene booster because it's got the bruises, it's got the insect frass, it's got a bunch of good stuff that is going to lead to terpene production in the plant. If you added the best deal you can find on Amazon, Super Sestal Mycorrhizae.

Yeah. You know, like a bulk, you know, flakes. You don't need the powder.

If you're doing it SS style, you know, if everything's breaking down, like you put your finger into that soil and it's just melting all the ingredients. So the cheaper flakes of the Mycos, right, find the best deal on a bulk Mycos style Dominator, like the Glomus Indradices and the Glokosol. I can't pronounce those species.

All that fungus gets funky, man. Yeah, the four ones that are, you know. And the thing is that. The reason those are oftentimes included in an intelligently engineered top dress product is because increasing fungal activity like that with bloom-specific food does help tremendously with phosphorus conversion.

It does help. And then I know FRAS does that. So I have a feeling that if you took CVC, but see, do the worms need a bunch of mycorrhizae? No. Probably not.

And also I need it. But the plants would like it. Yeah, but so you do that as well. That should be advised. maybe I should put that on the label, you know, optional, add your favorite mycorrhizal powder, if you're using CBC as a sort of early bloom, like following the 9-11 rules, you know, waiting for those numbers to dip in your raging, I can see trying that on, since you're already using CBC in the vicinity of this oyster, um, vermigasm dome, next to the Thai, you know, I can see extending that, and that Thai girl, she's going to get really hungry.

And I bet adding, you know, CVC to her, right? You see what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. And adding a bit of the mycorrhizae too.

Show's going to want that. Dude, that would be so cool. Yeah.

30-footer. Supercharged, you know. I'll see what I can do.

Yeah. And, you know, with this KNF and then also with the Tds. Yeah. You know, low and slow. Oh, yeah.

Speaking of low and slow, I know we have the Grizz episode up. Yeah. Oh, it's up.

Yeah. From Soil Life, you know, some part four. And out of everyone that was interviewed, Grizz is actually his.

Secret favorite guy. Yeah, this was a great interview man. And because he said it right low and slow Yeah, you've adopted that so what Jkosh is talking about is when he went to the soil life summit He interviewed this dude named Grizz who turned out to be a very knowledgeable Person on all things living soil and yeah, he's also got pure anywhere clothing and stuff. So we're clothing He's a total badass and and I learned a lot from his interview. So, you know now I'm on the low and slow train Man, I'm just like just a little bit of something every you know, every once in a while while you don't need to get super intense you don't need to overfeed your plants like I know on that first episode Jkohn Kohler showed off all those fertilizers that I have the light sometimes man I'm taking like a teaspoon or a tablespoon I'm just mixing that into my compost tea you know what I mean like I'm not I'm not grabbing like the whole thing is dumping it on the soil like yeah I'm I'm low and slow about it because that's how the plants like it unless is more yeah yeah that bin of ingredients I mean every good grower will have stuff you know a corner of their garage It was all the good stuff, you know?

What's in your storage bins? Yeah, for real. Yeah, out there, I mean, Coast of Maine, Oh, Coast of Maine is good, yeah, of course.

You find these good brands, and loyalty over royalty. No doubt. You know, you stick with the stuff that works.

success leaves clues follow super sets super clues here thank you yeah man check this out one one last thing before we check this out last time JkK was here we planted this right here this is the water space that I planted last time Jkohn was over. Oh, JkK planted it with you? Yeah, I mean, I just did like I'm doing right now.

I just pulled this to the side and planted this water spinach. So it had a little bit of transplant shock, and now it's up there, man. It's rocking.

So JkK says this has the potential to grow four inches a day. So when this thing gets moving, I might have a lot of water spinach. When it's super Seth, super charged, in full load.

We got to document all this. Hell yeah. Yeah. So anyway, you've got the ultimate.

lab back here yeah man this is sick this is so sweet so yeah shout out to john kohler thank you for uh letting josh run the show the inmates are truly running the asylum this episode man so yeah i love it uh thanks for watching growing your greens i'm a long time fan so i'm really thrilled to be uh to be homies with john and josh and uh i'm sure you know maybe john will do an outro but thanks for watching and uh see you guys on the next one man until then keep on growing yeah all right what's up guys we are back this is eight days later after me and Jkosh filmed that video where we made the FPJk, the fermented plant juice. Now I've got it here. This plate was in there the whole time and it was keeping it anaerobic. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna pour the liquid off and that liquid is what you're after.

You can put the rest of it in the compost. We'll take the liquid. There we go.

Smells really bad. Pretty gross. But I'm going to use this and I'm going to dilute it and I'm going to use it as a soil drench. Once that's all out of there. All right.

I think most of that's out of there. I'm gonna throw the rest on the compost pile. Alright, so I've poured the FPJk off, so now I just have all the liquid from that five gallon bucket.

I'm gonna take it, put it in my little garden, you know, little hand waterer, and then this stuff is teeming with microbes. The soil will really appreciate this. So I'll dilute it way down. I should probably mix it, so I'm gonna go grab a mixer for this.

Alright, so I've got the Bamboo Tech mixer. So I'm gonna spin that around to make sure that the microbes in the solution are evenly distributed. Alright, so I've diluted this FPJk.

It's about a 20 to 1 dilution. So I'm just going to pour it here on the soil around this cannabis plant. See, this has been mulched with fresh leaves and stuff like that.

And I'll just give it a little FPJk. the flowers around here will also appreciate it. See I've got some beneficial flowers surrounding this plant right here. There's a tomato over here, I'll get that.

Some tomatoes back here, make sure they get some. And yeah, I'll probably end up watering this in as well. All right, thank you guys for watching.

If you are interested in Korean natural farming and you want to learn more, you can check out a guy named Chris Trump. He makes great videos all about KNF. And then there's also a company called Fermented Plant Extracts. And the guy that runs that company, Miles, he does some great interviews where he talks all about different Korean natural farming methods.

So yeah, check that out. Keep on growing. All right. So what did you think of that episode?

You rather have me in the episode? her Jkosh in there doing the hosting. I don't know.

Let me know down below. I was out of town, so Jkosh filled in for me, so I'm grateful Jkosh was able to do that. And don't forget, be sure to visit Jkosh's channel. Jkosh has his own YouTube channel that I've been poking at him for like years to put more videos up, and he's finally doing it.

He's going over to TD. He went to some amazing Living Soil Conference and filmed all kinds of amazing interviews over there. Link down below to Jkosh's channel. I want you guys that are super hardcore to check his channel out.
