By attuning ourselves to sunlight and heat, moisture and water, air and wind, we can respond to Nature’s cues instead of relying on artificial inputs. In KNF, we attune ourselves to these elemental rhythms instead of relying on fixed schedules or synthetic inputs. Sunlight changes with the seasons and the time of day. Moisture varies with humi

You want to apply once a week (no more) at the right time of day. Apply the misted formulas an hour (or two) before sunset. This avoids using the inputs during photosynthesis (when the plants cannot utilize the formula's biochemistry), it avoids the heat of the day, and it gives the moisture time to evaporate, so that plants don’t go to bed wet, which can entice molds and blights to form.
