BuildaSoil: MAKING FERMENTED PLANT EXTRACTS // How to Make Ferments For Your Farm

[@runnersluck4390]

You guys hit the nail on the head. The reason this channel is so popular is because you are happy to share what many would not before and wouldn't for way to long... For years many made growing organic seem impossibly difficult when in fact it can not only be easier but cheaper. I've been growing for years and got my first "high times" quality harvest, with all the beautiful heavy buds and colors and all. I could not believe it... This channel is getting more and more interesting each video. Thank you guys!!!

[@mindsethawaii558]

You could mix your cuttings with brown sugar & ferment for 6 days or so and it will go through osmotic pressure and extract the liquid from ANY PLANT MATERIAL- this process is called FPJ or fermented plant juice. That liquid can become shelf stable by mixing more brown sugar into the initial liquid & 5ml of concentrate will amend 1 gal of water. Awesome to see this technique, maybe stacking these techniques can give you a stable supply you can keep shelf stable and ready to use - Look into Korean Natural Farming, it’ll send this process into a new stage. Also you could replace your molasses with FPJ/ Fermented Plant Juice since it has nutrients, antioxidants, & minerals as well as the sugars for the microbes to thrive.

[@jaymartin85]

Many ferment, but not properly, not to the KNF standard by Cho. Or like going anaerobic, doesn't use sugar (JADAM).

[@RoastPorkandGreens]

They added knf lactic acid, they are completely aware of it. This is a modified knf method.

[@jaymartin85]

@@RoastPorkandGreens modified but proper fermentation won't happen with molasses. Need BS/jaggery or cane to get the right osmotic pressure. They're making compost tea.

[@RoastPorkandGreens]

@@jaymartin85 I am a chef, and this is exactly how we lacto FERMENT foods. So yes it is a ferment.

[@jaymartin85]

@@RoastPorkandGreens the title is fermented plant extracts... They're not making FPJ, LABs is lactobacillus, the microbes on the plant material is Isopus, mocor and aspergillus, it's not the same thing. They just made up a concoction.

Holy shit this guy is informative. Usually get bored watching KNF videos. But I'm 20mins in and still watching. No verbose BS

[@jasonsmith6497]

Another amazing show from The Build A Soil Family..I love how they cover everything from indoors&outdoors then veggies to cannabis all the way through to these educational videos they’re doing an outstanding job on all of these..love the work guys

[@PerfectGardensTV]

Great show

[@davidlynnbrown1]

This episode is amazing. So much great insight into ferments. It isn’t complicated. Use what you can get as long as it is safe and healthy. I have a patch that in eight years has never been sprayed or chopped. Lots of clover and dandelions and other indigenous flora here in New England. Thanks Gwen and Miles!

[@avinashmiles]

Good vibes thanks for watching

[@eede9946]

I love the simple fact that all you guys let us know how to do it ourselves without having to buy your products BUT your products are definitely top notch and I'm gonna continue to buy from you guys as I learn to do it solo

[@Chr1s520]

Thorough and well presented. I had a few questions and all were addressed by the end. Both of you are well spoken and have a great vibe while sharing the info. Thanks for taking the time to teach.

[@avinashmiles]

Thanks so much for the positive feedback!

[@themvibes476]

Thank you for such a true representation of asking real questions that a regular grower would ask and showing in detail how all us personal growers can continue upwards in our own performance.

[@StillFunBrewing]

Very cool. Plant extract fermentations work really well. I’m running a tent that is only being fed 7 month old pumpkin ferment and a cannabis trim, whole mother & father plant ferment. Super healthy looking growth and flower.

[@msblades5382]

i am wanting to know and it sound like you have done it. i have a huge amount of flower from last year . Its all dry and in the freezer waiting for hash making. so what is the most efficent way to use the canna after extraction, i will be dry sifting all of it . so what ya say?? THCanks Martin

[@StillFunBrewing]

@@msblades5382 it’s all a matter of opinion. I’ve turned Hash in Balms/hand creams. The pure hash can be pressed with a heat press and the resulting oil smoked and the leftover crushed hash plus all the plant matter after sifting turned into butter. “I use cold pressed unrefined coconut oil”. Or all of it infused into oil and just do edibles. For my personal medicine it’s all put into coconut oil and I use that for cookies. One cookie a day about 45min before dinner. Doing that I have flower still a couple years old I haven’t gone through lol.

[@caseG80]

@@msblades5382 you add the material just like they did here no difference yes fresh is probably preferred but the water will rehydrate it and you could add another plant that’s fresh or fresh cannabis or not like he said in video there’s no set in stone recipe except for using what’s abundant around you closing the loop. Best thing is get your hands and mind doing it enjoying the process not stressing learning along the way. One thing you can do is check the ph after few days or so make note then watch it until hitting 4.0 -3.5 sure next vids will cover it. Cheers

[@divyadaby1648]

I am using moringa leaves. Banana leaves and peels as well as. Some vegetables peels. Some powdered eggshells. With dark brown sugar.. Rain harvested water and lactic acid bacteria. After fermentation it looks perfect for all plants in this wonderful world. Some call it bio enzymes. You can use this one for semi hydroponic systems. I am trying this on my self watering system And it works.

[@brent3611]

This was awesome! Thanks for sharing 👌

[@Loki_Morningstar666]

Awesome episode!!! I've been wanting to get into making my own ferments this year in my garden. My mom got me into gardening when I was a teenager. She worked two jobs so instead of grounding me anytime I got in trouble she would make me work in her garden. I got in trouble a lot so I spent a lot of time in the garden lol. She always did everything 100% organic and made her own compost. Now I've got kids of my own and I've been getting back into gardening with them. Build A Soil has been such an awesome resource for learning and I can't thank you enough for all that you guys and gals do.

[@Bongwell420]

Ferment some bananas with equal parts of brown sugar and watch those trichomes look like they're having babies!!! Bo0m awesome show

[@davidcharles66]

Very cool. I would love to hear more about how to use the ferment. Do you dilute. Do you ph b4 inoculating. How wuch per âcre or per 5 gal pot. Thanks..

[@buildasoilfamilyfarm2404]

We will be showing more for sure. I will water it in non diluted when it’s done. We use 250 gallons for our entire greenhouse. I don’t think you can go too wrong with applications. I’ll keep you posted!

[@bcwecan]

I make mine a little different. I just use brown sugar and the greens. So mine is a lot stronger For a gallon I use 1 and a half tablespoons. For the way they are making it. You can go more. So like 4-5 tablespoons per gallon Hope that helps.

[@davidcharles66]

@@buildasoilfamilyfarm2404 I ask how much cause watering in anything in the 4.5ish PH range doesn't sound to appealing. Is this low ph going to hurt or just use à small amount to innoculate.. I use the fermented Frass and the Alfalfa but i PH after adding. Is that wrong?

[@dertythegrower]

Beets are the secret ingredient of Mills (millspaysthebills). Good nutrient but the beets is a superfood for sure in itself, and can be easily cropped at home in most soil.

[@samartinez1988]

I amended my beds with shredded beet pulp this year instead of the usual alfalfa.

[@jimd1617]

Nice! I see beet pulp all the time at tractor supply… gonna grab a bag next time I’m there!

[@burkebrumfield4870]

You guys have the best videos, I have a couple of questions. What can be used in place of the whey and does it need to be in there at all? Also, Does the LAB eat all the plant matter to non existence or will there be pulp left over to clean and flush out? This maybe a stupid question but I am new to all of this and find it fascinating. Thank you in advance for answering. Keep up the good skill on the videos

[@barbaravanerp4598]

Love your videos. Look forward to them every week! BTW do you have a five gallon recipe? Realize nothing is exact but somewhere to start 🌷

[@ericmaine4192]

YES - The recipe whether 5 gallons or 100 hundred gallons is 1 molasses to 1 plant material to 1 LAB to 100 water (in parts) measure in mL and it will be easy to craft a small or large batch... pH test after 7 to 14 days, anything below 4pH its ready, 3.5 pH is sweet spot.

In a dandelion ferment is it best to use the flower? The leaf, or the root. Or a combination.

[@chrisw5829]

I think it's the root that gets used

[@buildasoilfamilyfarm2404]

The whole plant is the best way to go! The dandelion greens are just as good as the root and flower.

[@2daughtersfarm]

@@buildasoilfamilyfarm2404 i figured you could use it all or some. Now with a peach ferment is it the same process? Love the videos just set up my 4x4 bed in my 4x4 tent. About to through some plants in a month or so.

I know from making wine too much sugar actually kills bacteria sugar is a preservative. I heard anaerobic can get nasty but with compost if you want to break down carbon you add greens so I can see if you put that on your greens it just balances out also I add old milk to an active pile all the stuff works together after doing stuff a few times you'll notice I should start looking for greens or I could eat some carbon

[@davidbryden7904]

Love the channel, brother ❤️ 💙 👍 Questions; My garden is a pair of tents. A 2 x 2 for veg, and a 2 x 4 to flower, with 100 w & 200 w LEDs, respectively. I'm using a homemade "supersoil" mix of equal parts local brand of decent potting soil (420 Recipe) homemade compost perlite I add wormcastings and dry amendments which I get from a local nursery who sell them "bulk"? (You buy it by the pound, like a farmers market). I regularly use Bokashi and Myco Grow, and Dutch Science's CalMag w/humates, also. So, about the dry amendments, I am just using Azomite, Greensand, and Calphos Rock Phosphate, so far. I'm on a limited budget so I like to use generic products and my nursery has a variety of these amendments. What, if anything, would you switch or add to this recipe? Next, I am using 1 gal nursery pots for starts, and finish in #7 fabric pots. My plant limit is just 6, total. You always recommend larger containers but I wonder would it be advantageous to do 3 #10 pots in my 2 x 4 or 4 #7 pots ? It's close to the same volume either way and bc my tent is only 6 and a half foot tall, I'm limited on height. Would I be getting equal production with less plants in bigger pots or is the higher plant count going to be better? I can imagine that the big pot would have a bigger pool of nutrients, but it might need a longer veg or stretch period, right? Finally, how often do you read comments, and does it matter if I post questions on an episode from last year? I really appreciate your commitment to the "community" . I can honestly say that, even though I have been growing for decades, y'all helped me transition to indoor farming amazingly smoothly 👌 Thanks to you and your team. 🙏✌️

[@allenlyon7202]

is there a more scaled down recipe? I'm guessing the whey is refrigerated do you let stand b4 use to rise to room temperature

[@rayjay8322]

Real simple ferment in 5gal bucket. Equal weights of plant material and raw brown sugar. EM1....activated or outta the bottle. Combine the sugar and plant material in the bucket and keep mixing until the osmotic pressure draws out the moisture and coats the plant material until it's all wet. I'd add just an ounce of EM1 outta the bottle and mix. You can line the bucket with a trash bag. Press the material down to compact the material and force air out. Place bricks on top to keep it squished down. Loosely twist to seal out the air, but lets the gas out. Stir up every few days until more moisture is pulled from the plant material and all the 'air' has been pushed out and ya have a pool of 'juice' at the bottom forming. Check the pH after 10 days or so. Less than 4 is usable. I let it go it can get to close to 3.5. Just use simple ph strips for that range. Strain the juice and feed the plant material to your worms or mix in to compost pile. Each ferment is different, but start at around 3-5ml per gal

[@tvdubroolz]

Can I use my plant material that is left over from doing a run of bubble hash to make a ferment after?

[@joshbroadhead9263]

How would the low ph affect nutrient absorption, specifically for cannabis

[@buildasoilfamilyfarm2404]

We don’t use the ph for anything except to tell us how the ferment is going. It will not change the ph in your soil at all!

[@avinashmiles]

You dillute it prior to use slow ph isn't really an issue
