I'm just wondering what an introduction of fermented insect Frass would do for your girls with your program.
While it does have some simple and complex nutritional benefits, I think the immune response would be the desired result. I don't use the fermented insect frass for the NPK, but do take it into consideration for total nutrition.
With their system you use, is there a source of chitin?
Now where you're located, I have no idea where you can pick up ready made ferment, but it's not that difficult to make yourself.
It could easily be made with labs, but I would probably make it with EM1. Eric Lancaster, former Executive VP of Teraganix, was my go-to guy for cannabis use of EM1. But he and his partners sold the company and now he's doing his own thing in Tucson as a probiotic consultant for large agricultural projects.
I just called Teraganix, they're local to me , and talk to them about this and they will have someone give me a call. If this person has a known and proven recipe, I'll make it and test it with clones on this upcoming run. I already have a finished insect frass ferment purchased from BAS and I will continue using that in all the other girls in this run as normal. If I had a bunch of clones, I could have some controls, homemade ferment, and store bought ferment plants. I might run that test in a later Grow to see whether there is a difference in using the EM1 versus labs.
It could be a viable option to take this crazy grow to the next level.
