Its just organic plant food, that is how I use it anyways. to supplement an already well balanced soil/ sustain a healthy microbe population.

Its an all organic nutrient supplement , usually home made from harvest or store bought fruits and sugar. Said to bring out flavor, no burn potential.

This.
It has sugars, decent amounts of potassium and phosphorus, growth enzymes, micronutrients, and more; all in a form that is both organic and quickly available to the plant and soil life. It's particularly useful for no till and ROLS growers to keep the soil healthy through flowering.

I was gonna say at least one more Monday but I noticed not a single grower here argued your comment about thc being at its peak. What is the latest on this? With all the testing happening, we should know for sure, why so much controversy over when to harvest?

I personally have gotten use to harvest a hair earlier than most people, all cloudy stage but I don't need amber. For a few reasons, I think I get better flavor and more terps, more productive highs, and also sometimes i am forced to harvest early because I don't want spidermites taking over.

Whenever I I get a nice fat healthy plant that is relatively pest free I also like to let them go as long as possible. Some of my friends prefer it that way and I like to have something to reach for before bedtime.

Effect of gland age on cannabinoid content
Glands, viewed under a microscope, can be classified according to their secretory phases from the color of their contents. Glands most active in secretion (mature) are translucent in appearance, aged glands are yellow in appearance and senescent glands are brown in color. Mature glands possessed the highest content of their major cannabinoid in both the fiber and drug strains. Senescent glands possessed low levels of cannabinoids. The concentration of some components, as CBD in the drug strains, may be so low that is was not detectable in our analysis; similarly, for THC and CBN in the fiber strain. It is unknown where the cannabinoids go during the aging process, but we suggest that it is possible they volatilize into the atmosphere along with the terpenes in glands, as noted later in this report. Nevertheless, this phenomenon of altered content in glands during aging is one that should be studied to gain a more complete understanding of the secretory process of cannabinoids in the cell.

True amber strains go through this too, but are amber early in life.

What about juice from a masticating juicer? In my house, we make about a gallon a week and sometimes we have left-overs that have pressurized the mason jar, so I know that it turned. I was not exactly sure what to do with this stuff? I compost, so I am completely organic...

I toss all of my fruit scraps in to my worm bin and let them do the work. Unfortunately I don't have the time it would take to be making various concoctions. I've made/used FPE's, lacto bacillus serum, bokashi, sprouted seed teas, coconut water, aloe, etc, etc. I haven't noticed a bit of difference in the end product when compared to just using a solid organic soil with quality compost/castings. The only difference I noticed was how much less time I had to spend on other things in life.

On some strains ill fall alittle short in either potassium or something else minor and it works good as a boost in mid to later flower. Especially after week 5 on 8 wk finishers, cuz i dont wanna use high P guano that late and damage and microbes.

At least thats the idea. The kelp i dont believe is supposed to help with flavor, essentially i switch out kelp todress or a kelp tea with the ffj. Thats me. Most if not all but 1-2, wont need any.

Are you recycling your soil? If so, how many rounds have you used it for? I've noticed what I believe to be deficiencies pop in the first round or two from a batch of soil, but those seem to disappear as the soil ages. I'm guessing that some nutrients/minerals take longer to become bio avaialable so the plant will be lacking to a degree with newer soil.

If the ffj helps with that then that's a good deal! :peace:
