@StoneOtter Tonight I'm going to take another step in my Jadam journey and give the plants the full works. I've gone in measured steps so far to try to ensure that each addition to the process is not detrimental to the plants. Bode and Nutty both rave about the boost that the JMS provides, so I'm looking forward to seeing some positive effect on my plants.
So, tonight they get JMS + Swamp Juice. The JMS will be at a 1:10 dilution, and the Swamp Juice will be 1:20.
Incidentally,
I've discovered a great way to scale down the JMS for my garden. Since it is recommended to use a 10% solution, I've found making a full 5 gallon bucket pretty wasteful, though I did pour the excess (most of what I made) into the swamp juice barrel last time.
Since I'll need about a gallon (128 oz) to water my plants, that means I only need about 12oz of JMS, so making 5 gallons of the stuff is more effort than I'd be willing to put in on a regular basis.
Two days ago I dissolved 1/4 tsp of worm castings into 8oz of rain water and added 1 tsp of dried potato flakes from a box. The flakes have some preservatives in them so I was not optimistic about the chances for success, but was willing to try the experiment.
Wow, am I glad I did! It worked great, and is sitting on the counter producing a copious amount of bubbles. So easy, and now I'll be able to have a low effort, appropriately sized, ongoing supply of fresh JMS in a small container right in my grow cabinet.
