Q. How about taking the leaves when you defoliate throughout the grow  and blending them up when they're fresh and make a tea I know it wouldn't be the same as a SST but it's got to have some type of nutrients right cuz you can chop and drop.

I don't know I like trying new things I use fresh lemons to pH my water and they just pray  so much harder after I use fresh lemons instead of concentrated lemon juice

@biggersbuds This is very similar (but different) to the Korean Natural Farming (KNF) practice of Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ).  The difference is FPJ uses microbes to break down the fresh growth of plant tips harvested at dawn, then sugar to make the solution shelf-stable following fermentation.  Using the same plant to fertilize it's own species is  supposed to be very efficient given the growth of the harvested plant has all the exact nutrients needed by the growing plant, although you can use the new growth of different species.  I have some FPJ on my shelf made of basil. Hope that helps.

@im_sparky, I tried making FPJ fermented plant juice, first from cannabis leaves after defoliating with equal amount of brown sugar, but the problem was there wasn't enough liquid and I didn't add any water to it till after I tried to process it. Next I tried using pre-flowers, I defoliated a lot of branches with per flower and harvested those along with the brown sugar and that worked a bit better and far as achieving a finished product but still not convinced of it effectiveness.

I want to use spring time thistles and harvest those growth tips as they are suppose to contain and very active growth hormone.  I will revisit using cannabis "parts" again a some point. 

That's what I do when ones looking. lol 😊

@woodi2 do you know what the hormone is? Would this be the same with any plant? And their new growth tip?

  @mcgrower, that's what I gathered from Chris Trump and others. Using the cannabis growth tips your harvesting the hormones that are needed specifically for cannabis but I think the nettles thistles must have a compatible or just a aggressive hormone, that's why it's used more often?

  With the fermented fruit juice there are different recipes for that but I'm not sure how much the variety of fruit has to do with the finished product. 

  So as you can see I have no answers for you just more questions, but Chris Trumps videos and interviews will teach a lot, I got yelled at, as usual. "Gee I didn't know there's a HUGE diff between a plastic bag or a loose plastic lid to cover a bucket, My Word." lol fine I'll use the damn bag!! lmao  (sorry, you had to be there) 

  But I can't wait to make his fermented fish juice, whole clean (gutted only) fish and equal amount of brown sugar (equal weight) then into and small airtight cooler for 6 months. Sounds like fun to me, gotta go fishing out at my buds house, get stoned and fish, nice. 😎

I think part of the issue here is it being an indoor grow vs collecting outside, because the morning dew it supposed to be on the newly harvested buds.  Also, one is supposed to pick plants that naturally have more juice in them... but I am not an expert, so this is just how I understand it.

@im_sparky, I believe your correct, I remember about the early morning spring harvest and that Nettles were recommended and I remember not being over joyed about any of this. lol But now like all chores lets just get this over with! 🤣

I'd better check my Nettles schedule and see when they planning on coming to town. Thumbs Up
