AVOID THIS MISTAKE when making JADAM Wetting Agent

In this video, I show you step by step on how to make JADAM Wetting Agent

JADAM Wetting Agent (JWA) is a pesticide that is critical in coating, wetting, and delivering the active ingredient into the target, it is a surfactant we use on our plants to control pests. This is a low cost method from the JADAM system to make your own natural pesticide.

In this video I used dehumidifier water and I noticed at the end of the process, it did not yield the results I wanted for the final product. It is recommended to use Soft Water or Distilled Water and after using the dehumidifier water, I highly recommend only using the soft water or distilled water to make JWA.

I show you how to make 5L of JADAM Wetting Agent, I used:
.09L Canoloa Oil
+
160g Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) 90%
+
120mL of soft water or distilled water (initial)
+
4L of added soft water or distilled water

No expiration date for JWA
Apply early morning or sunset
Improves pesticide-coating effect, increases pesticide effect

I make pure castille liquid soap for use in my household. This looks exactly like liquid castille soap. I knew I could use it in the garden. Great to see more ways to use it.

I thought you quit farming!!... good to see you back!!

I appreciate your humility, John. 🙏🏻

As a soap maker, please use KOH outside and with safety goggles and a mask.
I’m definitely going to try this method if I need to!

Once made, you can use JWA to test future water to see if it's soft enough too.

Cabbage and broccoli get attacked the most of most crops. It's good to use 3-4x a week. Or every 3 days. Keep up the good work Jon!

Just a safety tip when you’re working with potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide. You’re supposed to add this stuff to the water and not the other way around.
It’s said to be safer that way. I used an ice bath to help keep the reaction cooler when making soap.

Also protective equipment isn’t a bad idea to have on. The stuff gets in your eyes, or on your skin it could burn you or blind you.

Thanks for sharing and keeping us from making same mistakes 🎉

Just found your channel, great info thanks

[CannabinaTV]

Nice video, but i really recommend the use of protection equipment like googles, gloves and masks for the fumes.

[otrotland]

wow, great videos, Have you considered using a hose end sprayer like Jerry Bakers?

[camperjack]

Mine is real thick right now, like maple syrup. I haven't waited the last day yet, I will check it tomorrow. It would be real nice, if you have a lot of experience with JADAM, if you could make a video on fabricating the water softener like he did in the book.

If you drill too hard, it will turn into a white cream. Add a little more water and let it sit for a few days. It will return to normal.

I see younused a home depot bucket..would a lowes bucket do the same? Respects 🤙

[raiseemuphomestead]

I made this with rain water, but used your recipe And mine was cloudy as well. Oh well it still works

[zacharyking]

would adding warm water help it disolve better?

[SimpleEarthSelfReliance]

I still often end up with it being milky white, and I use the same (same batch) of pure, filtered rainwater every time. It's finnicky.

[ylee]

I used distilled water and it turned out, like yours, milky

[andrejofak]

Thanks, would't it be easier to make higher potency liqid soap - KOH + canola oil, and add the soap to water when needed? As the rain water is soft and good for soap making it would be good for this aplication too. What do you think?

[mardirazzberry]

I made hard soap by accident, got nurvous and frustrated, needing 30 gal of water to break it down enough. I have soo much soap. Learning through mistakes 😅

[skercory]

Should have the water in the bucket first
