Trying to make FPJ out of dried seaweed n kelp Need Ideas Please
I am trying to make FPJ out of dried seaweed n kelp since i am not close to the ocean i was thinking to re-hydrate the dried stuff i could use beer or water not sure what would be best then also thinking how much liquid to add i would think not to much to allow the dried plants to absorb most of the liquid b4 i added the sugar or would it not really matter since all the water soluble stuff would just leach into the liquid anyways and become locked up in the sugar solution not fully sure on how to go about this so any help would be great ty all

I remember master Cho stressing that a true FPJ is from new growth from live plants only. This insures you are getting plant growth hormones and active enzymes. If you are trying to capture the minerals from the sea, you could probably add some wild harvested sea weed to an IMO 4 pile to replace the SEA water you are lacking.

Drake's FPJ starts with fresh plant material. Sugar draws the juice out by osmosis and leaves toxins behind (Office Hours Ep. 22, 20:55). Growing tips hold the hormones and enzymes (Pure KNF Manual, p. 38).
Plants do not all render juice equally. Drake adds fine salt, up to 10% of the sugar weight, to draw more juice out (Office Hours Ep. 40, 8:50).
For sea minerals, the KNF input list has seawater diluted with fresh water as its own input for soil (Unravelling the Mysteries of KNF, p. 63). Drake points to seawater when plants lack minerals (Office Hours Ep. 2, 31:01).
The library does not cover dried seaweed, rehydrating in beer or water, or how much liquid to add.
