Fish amino acid extract. OK, start with equal mass amounts of fish, molasses, and water. Stir together and add 30ml (2 tablespoons) of EM pobiotics or a probiotic tablet from the pharmacy. Cover as best as you can and let it ferment for 2wks. Strain off the fish parts and dilute 1:100 in nonchlorinated water. This can be used directly whenever nitrogen is needed or as a foliar spray during veg.

what do you guys do for pest control?

Fly paper and companion planting. Planting chives around the base of the plant can prevent gnats and aphids. If you felt like getting complex you can get neem oil + jalepenos + onion + alcohol and vinegar. Mix them in a 1:1 ratio and make sure the liquid is at least covering the solids. This must steep and extract for attleast a week. Strain it and spray at a 1:100 dilution. The idea behind the ingredients is they are high antioxidants and natural pest reppelents. This recipe is up for altering but is tested and works. I'll get one started this week and include marygold leaves and other smelly plants.

nice thanks man, i have 2 church ogs that i ended up leaving outdoor because they were' "runts" they look more beautiful than my plants indoor. ( not saying they dont look good, just that i like their natural structure.) I do see gnats flying around, and some little insect here and there. Some leaves have tiny holes and stuff, theres pests there for sure. I'll get some chives going soon! Both ended up being female, it was meant to be haha.

Yea. You can't really go wrong with the sun. I've heard it be compared to 1000 watts indoors but I couldn't really prove that. I start seeds and veg indoors during winter and fall with a lot of biodiversity and a 360 watt LED. Sometimes the diversity is methodical, like horehound with squash. Lately I have noticed some large grass hoppers or locust just hanging out in the main garden. They seem to be focused on eating my cabbage though. You can use bait plants as well. The problem with that is eventually the population of your peat will increase ooor if you're lucky the predator of the pesr will make itself known and balance is restored.

Potassium. Bananas supposedly are high in potassium. So are ashes. Soooo I burned banana peels to ashes. I dried them to a crisp in the sun, then burned them with a propane torch. I could have burned off more carbon but I was tired of trying to get the torch to work correctly. Last I mixed water with the ashes so I could store them easily. I'll use this in the same proportions I do wood ash, 1 T per square foot. I've never used banana ash before so this is experimental. I'll also start a fermented banana peel fertilizer using EMe. (Probiotic bacteria- like lactobacillus acidophiles). And compare results. I'd bet the fermented potassium is safer to use and easier on the pH.

Fermented potassium. Filled up a gallon container with banana peels. Dried and fresh, just everything I had. Just so happens to fill up the gallon. Next I'm adding 4 tablespoons of EMe and 4 tablespoons of molasses. I'll mix this in a liter of water first then pour it over the bananas. Then add another liter so that it pretty much covers the peels and fills the pail. The bananas took up 2qrts and the liquid took up about 2 qrts. This means for smaller batches or larger batches, ill do the solids and liquids 1:1 by volume. EMe typically gets used at 30 mL per liter with equal parts molasses. Or 2T per Qt, with equal parts molasses. Back to potassium... I will let this ferment in the shade, sealed as best as I can, for 2-3 weeks. The bacteria should digest the bananas by then. I'll use this sprayed 1:100 or water directly the same.

Results. Compost the skins or w/e. Save the liquids and dilute 1:100 for use. So a tablespoon per liter water bottle is a strong feeding 1.5:100. use 2 teaspoons per liter for a 1:100 ratio. Probably not too crucial.

Mmm yea. It'd probably be like a dietary supplement. Probiotics already taste funky. I drink the EMe on occasion, its like eating yogurt. I also remember leaving a fish skin in the pail when I added the bananas for no real reason. But no I'd hate my life for the time bring.I dare you to drink some haha.

Absolutely nothing for pest control disease and insects are less likely to attack a healthy plant i find no more the 15 percent insect damage ..
only issues i ever really delt with was slugs but i usuallly got them HAMMERED ON BEER

I've used vinegar and water sprayed to prevent powdery mildew with much success. I have also read a claim that temperatures above 90 Fahrenheit will kill PM. So, baking buds before cooking them into some kind of fat would make sense to salvage a crop. I've been threatening to start some "gigantic Venus fly traps" from seed. They may help the indoor garden.
