FFJ Fermented Plant Juice
We will explain how you can relatively easily produce a potent all-round product that promotes plant health and fertilization. Unlike liquid manure, fermented plant juice is more versatile in its application and does not cause any unpleasant odors during production and use.
Fermented vegetables, for example, are a real booster for our health and immune system, and the same applies to plants. With fermented plant juices, whether as a foliar spray or poured, we can increase the health and resilience of our plants and make them more resistant to pests, diseases, and stress, while at the same time providing nutrients, hormones, micro and macro elements, and, of course, probiotics, because that is what the ferments produced in this way are based on.
Many people may be familiar with Korean Natural Farming, but these fermentation methods were also widely used in Europe for humans and plants.
Ingredients:
150g dried nettles
5 liters of rainwater or stale water
250 ml melasse
250 ml effective microorganisms
Preparation:
Place the ingredients in a sealable bucket, stir, close, and store in a dark place at an ambient temperature above 8°C.
From now on, microorganisms will begin to multiply and process the organic matter, many microbial processes will occur, as well as autolysis, which results in the secretion of many valuable substances such as auxin, cytokines, or phytohormones. The fermentation time depends on the temperature; the warmer the environment, the faster the transformation.

Application and dosage:
After approximately 14 days, the ferment can be separated from the solids using a sieve and used for watering or as a leaf spray. The remaining plant residues are ideal for compost or top dressing, etc.
80 ml to 1 liter of water for watering (nitrogen boost) or 40 ml to 1 liter of water as a leaf spray.
Make sure that you only use it as a leaf spray when the lights are off
or at sunset, as both your plant and the microorganisms will be destroyed by UV light. It is also advisable to use a sprayer without a fine atomizer or a nozzle set to coarse atomization, as this will also destroy most of the microorganisms, etc.
