Actively aerated compost teas.. another key factor to accelerate the growth of Yr plants and the quality by giving Yr plants a 3 course meal thats alot more available n processable and been multiplying the good bacteria so that when u feed it to Yr plants its like feeding it to them with a running start so to speak..

LACTOBACILUS / EM1

Rice water left for a week covered with tissue or a clean sock till the liquid gets a sour sweet smell, then mix this liquid 1 parts rice water to 9 parts milk or just toss it in a bottle milk it's not too important what ratio as long as plenty of milk/mostly milk.. leave for another week roughly till it splits n separates into floating cheese n liquid, collect the liquid filtered from the cheese add equal part mollases and u have yourself some home made enzymes... lactobacilus/ EM1...

Edit: its rich In lactic acid bacteria which is basically what's most mammals stomach acids is, and co operates with good bacteria and eats bad bacteria like those harmful to our health or plants health like powdery mildew.. shuda mentioned that.. its "probiotics" promoting good bacteria instead of just killing all bacteria good and bad like "antibiotics"...

Another key factor to no till, living soil and organics in general is lactobacilus/EM1.. helps break down food in the soil can make ferments with it with most plants and veg and fruit.. also other things.. meant to prevent powdery mildew if sprayed in veg n stays protecting them thru flower.. also meant to help cure PM if u spray it on infected plants.. protects from other airborne pathogens etc.. all around work horse of a benie..

Then there's WORMS!

A MUST! MUST! MUST! ITS ONE OF YOUR OTHER FORMS OF ENZYMES!

I used to keep em in the actual plants pots the plants was in and have a little worm bin also to feed them fresh casting as well as constantly having fresh casting in there pots generated by the worms living there as when the worm eats the fine bits of soil and the bacteria and fungi that's breaking the composting soil down with all Yr ingredients in, its coming out the other end as worm castings full of stomach enzymes that also carry on helping to break down the soil n make it a much more available uptakable food source for your plants.. along with the beneficial bacteria and fungi that also do this along with the decomposer mites and rolls polly bugs that come n eat the bigger n woodyer stuff n break it down too all forming a big soil food Web that works in harmony to feed n keep yr plant healthy..

Leaving your bases of old plants in roots intact in the soil.. and beneficial fungi and bacteria..
And cover crops!!

You want to leave your bases in as the beneficial decomposing mites and rolly polly bugs/ woodlice end up eating it and breaking down into food for your lab/em1, beneficial bacteria and fungi and worms to further break down into more available and uptacable food for your plants also the left over roots either get turned into food too or the new plants tap into them and there food they been storing and processing around them or both theres debate which happens..

And if your doing everything right constantly adding benies like great white mycos or psycho myco benies and/or going out and doing I.m.o inoculations to bring back and top dress or water into your soil too then you should start gradually seeing little shrooms similar looking to liberty caps growing too but don't eat them they don't get u hi like liberty's I already tried.. just gave me the shits lol!..

Also COVER CROPS

Not only do the cover crops provide Nitrogen for the soil when u chop and drop it, but also crimson clover and I think most clover actualy puts nitrogen into the soil as its growing.. also the way I see it, if the benies your feeding like mychorizal etc that co incide with your roots n live symbiotic specifically with roots, then surely Yr gonna increase your soils mychorizal content with having extra little nitrogen fixing roots from the clover n cover crop for the mychorizal to colonise n maximise the mycorizal n benies that's kept in Yr soil.. win win..

The worm ball is awesome. The lacto ferment sounds interesting if a bit dangerous. Did you have any, um, "bad" batches? In any case, that's some great looking cannabis and thanks for sharing your techniques!
Nope it's Korean natural farming/ k.n.f been done for thousands of years by all the top Asian farmers.. also been used as a organic sterilizer/ disinfectant floor cleaner etc in hospitals iv read.. the milk is naturally rich in the lactobacilus which is a good bacteria (lactic acid bacteria)that's basically the same as most mammals stomach acids and this co incides with good bacterias and eats bad bacterias that are harmful to our health.. the rice water left for a week collects the other ESSENTIAL good organisms that's in the air n surroundings to actually make it "EM1".. look up gil gallidang website " the unconventional farmer"..👌 💯💚🙏😁

Edit: if you ever bought hygrozyme or EM1 bottles from Your hydro shop u just paid like 20 quid for 1 liter of lactobacilus enzymes that u cud av made at home for penny's.. its the same stuff..
