November 2023. Listen Chris speak about failure. So true. And just Yesterday finally I could finish my lactobacillus homegrow🙌🏿. This was my third try... Failure make me came here.
play at 2x speed to save time. ty for the information sir
Thank you
Anyone else catch that sweet voice over insert at 9:54? I liked that.
With these microbes 🦠
Hi Chris, I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge of KNF. We have a small market garden farm (20 acres) in southwest Colorado and for the last year I have been studying KNF principles soaking up as much as I can find online. This morning I did my final extraction of my OHN solution and I had a bit of a "failure" that I thought I'd share with you as you might get a laugh. So, everything turned out beautifully and was going just fine. I was extracting and putting into my gallon jars, using our peoples press to get the last of the liquid out and then also filing a 1/2 gallon jar to be used for ourselves and farm according to the recipe. About half way through and after sipping on some of the medicine as I went along and starting to feel the effects I accidently started to pour my extraction of ginger into my half gallon jar instead of its mother jar, the gallon jar. Shit!! It's funny because I was thinking about this video and what you said about failures. Luckily all was not lost and we'll take that medicine ourselves and batch up another one with appropriate ratios for the soil. :P
Just discovered the concept of this type of farming, love your videos! Thank you so much!
Same here!! It's awesome! I'm telling everyone I know that they have to look into this it's very exciting learning these amazing things that I would of never thought of using on the garden.

Dear Chris
Thank you for educating me on you video well I made loads of mistakes but but success I always wanted a rhododendron and my mother got me one but after planting I found out it need acceded soil but been from the west of Ireland our soil is pure clay lime stone I made a batch of your brew then put in farm yard sh1t with sugar sea weed liquid and water the weather was good so the barrel was bubbling so I gave it to the vegetables and flowers I though the rhododendron was dead for a while back all the leafs were brown I was going to give it a organic burial in my composting heap but I was waiting for family members to travel with the covirous for the funeral but five days later it was sprouting leafs and buds in I say it again lime rich clay ground miracle
Thank you again God bless
Ps I done nothing the proper way but it working all my veggies and flowers love it and worms love it they want more
You’re an amazing teacher. Thank you for all the learning possibilities!
Hey Chris, hi from Brisbane Australia. Thank you for your excellent videos. You have a great presentation style and fantastic depth of knowledge. You have inspired me to have a go. I definitely agree with you about how much we learn from our failures. 👍👍👍
Thanks Chris , took my notes. My first IMO 1 check today after heavy rain, showed a rat had got in as well as some pink , yellow and green colours? 🤔its allgud tho cos now I can try again. Learning KNF thru your vidz has been a cool adventure. 👋 from NZ.
Have three boxes built. Just went outside to pick up my first two boxes of Imo. Have a lot of white fluffy
Aside from your videos being very informative, i liked and subscribed because of your stated commitment. Things like that are how we are going to change the world my friend. Excellent job.
Thanks for all the great info. Where do you get your jars? They look prefect for this process.
Appreciate you sharing all of your knowledge with the world! 🤙👊
Ok I'll show you when I make my first batch soon
i have put out two boxes about 90 hours ago, i am going to check them now, i also brought that day some really nice samples of completely colonnaded mycelium on Beechnut, i could pull out hand fulls of them, i put up two glasses with rice and samples of the forest biology in it with papertowel bottom, and papertowel lid, it developed some very nice white fluff on it, one glass with more volume and material developed more fluff but with small black spots in it, what is that?
Hey Chris greetings from the eastern coast of Southern Africa. Thanks for the great vid, very informative, gratitude for the share!
Gauteng, South Africa :)
Learning.
Awesome videos! Thanks! Chris, I love in Panama, here the temperature is about 75-85F year round. Is it too hot to keep IMO 2?
I'm learning so much! I did hear cedar is in itself antimicrobial. Is that a planned part? Thanks
Chris you are a rock star! Thanks for the great videos. Are we supposed to drain the IMO 2 liquid or leave rice in solution?
Thanks for your kind sharing and commit responding any question. 👍🥰
Great video, thank you for sharing this information,
can't wait for imo3!
If you found your rice still needed more time can you put more paper towels and leave it there more time?
I always get paranoid that the stuff might not work anymore. How do you test if it's still good after a long time?
Can I just spread IMO1 out on my lawn if my aim is to increase the microbial diversity and content of my lawn grass soil?
Thank you Chris you are most wonderful!
love your shirt, God bless you!
This is fascinating, thanks for sharing!
Hi Chris, went and got my first collection today from a local forest state park. It looks pretty good to me with lots of white spiderweb material. It also has some orange and red spots. Are those colors a concern?
Hi! thanks for these awesome video series. I have a question, instead of brown sugar can we use any flour and white sugar or white sugar alone?
When you say "And now our material will be in a dormant state for use in the future", for how long is that?
I'm finding a lot of vageness and inconsistency in the little documentation I've found (mainly sarra's book and what's available at ctahr) about storage (how to, but most of all for how long), not only IMO's but fermented inputs too. Things like "long-term storage".
+J IMO2 keeps for 3+ years, you will need to spritz with a little water once every 4 months after the first year.
The difficulty of documentation as a student is why I am making the videos. FPJ can also keep for years... however I recommend making 6 month supplies. It can degrade in some situations.
Noted. Thanks C. And thank you so much for all your videos, by far the best audiovisual aid around for us newcomers. Keep it up please.
use it up and make more so thats not an issue!
Awesome video..how many dosis of imo2 mix with water you recommend to spray to my farm soil
I saw a guy do the same thing but he put dry rice in a pantyhose Dug a hole and let it sit in the ground for 30 days and when he dug it up it was green white black red and then he mixed it with the molasses Just that sound right can you do that
Hi Chris, I'm learning so much from your videos, thank you!!! My question is two parts: first, why not just use regular white sugar? Second, can I mix white sugar with molasses?
That is technically alll brown sugar is..
If it’s about bleached sugar than raw sugar would be what you use.
My first two had a farout vapor style cloud go up as I mixed the sugar in!
Chris, a big thanks for sharing this amazing information.
I made my IMO2 a day ago and it has a ton of liquid in it. I followed this video exactly. Do I add more brown sugar? Or is it too late to save it.
Thank you Chris.
+Tumba you are welcome. Let me know how you do.
Could the moisture be reduced before adding sugar, by low temperature dehydrating the rice?
Thanks. You're a beast on this
Hey Chris, can you use white sugar with just a dash of unsulfered blackstrap molasses added to it??? That's how alot of brown sugar is made anyway. Unless the package specifically says it came from sugar beets.
What about using jaggery instead of brown sugar?
Yes Jaggery is excellent. Brown sugar is just cheaper
Can I use moldy lawn clippings to make IMO? Does it act the same as leaf mold?
Hi Cris your demontration on KNFare exellant i have viewed yoyr all vddioes not once but twice or thrice .My best collected of IMO 1 DO NOT GETTING DRY if i mix more sugar will it harm ,should i remix the intire collection with mmore sugar. Is there any harm.Wauting egarly for early repply.
Do you mix all your collections into one batch?
I just picked up my collection 🙏🏿👍🏿
Harvested a good test batch of IMO 1 and it made a good IMO 2 (I think...). Curious, what does IMO 2 supposed to smell like?
+Trevor Mickelson kind of like miso paste. It smells like a sour dough kinda, it smells like gently fermented rice... hard to describe :) great job man!!!
Nice, Yep that's exactly how it smells! Now I just have to figure out where to get my hands on some OHN for IMO 3. Growing season is upon us in Colorado, any substitutes or can I just go rogue without it?
Trevor Mickelson what did you use and how did it go?
@@biomei.solutions Mr Trump I really appreciate your videos. I'm all about the growlife and I'm very interested so I've started implementing some of these techniques u teach. I was hoping you could clear up some confusion. bear with me...
so in my bokashi bucket in told not to put anything with mold or rot because these aerobic organisms will start to compete with the anerobic microorganisms I had initially collected in the rice water that went thru the steps and used to inoculate the bran.
now as for the application . I'm making aerated compost teas. will it be benefial to add the bokashi bran (fermented) to one of these aerated compost teas? won't these microorganisms also be competing ? the ones in bokashi bran vs the ones from the compost. isn't take aerobic vs anerobic? what is wrong with my logic here? something doesn't add up
It seems I added just a bit too much sugar.. it got a little wet in my hand but it looks pretty dry. Wonder if I should ad water to make it more like your consistency or just leave it? Thanks!
you mentioned failure?...well, i just used ALL the IMO3, instead of just using a small amount! : / whoops!....its my first time doing this...everything up to this point...was on point..but now??.
I used wheat meal, and a very small amount too!..i basically mixed it equal parts IMO2 and the wheat meal.
....so i guess what ill do now is just buy loads more wheat meal, and mix what i got into that??..wait for that to ferment...then add soil? lol...like you said Ill learn from my mistakes : ) any tips or help from whomever would be very much welcomed..peace.
Hi Chris, thanks for awesome videos. Can you use raw sugar instead of brown sugar? Or can palm sugar be mixed with raw sugar to replace brown sugar. We are in a part of Asia where is is really difficult to get brown sugar... thanks in advance for any advice
So my first batch of IMO 1 didn't work, instead of fluffy white I got pink, green and dark gray and the rice was all pale yellow. I think the area I placed it in wasn't the best. I found a different area that already had some white mycelium growing and placed a second batch of rice there. Keeping my fingers crossed that this one works. Chris, I'll try and send some fail pics.
+RenTanis you rock man. Don't get discouraged, you got this. :)
Thanks for the video.. A Awesome teaching
Mr Trump, when we make IMO3 can white granulated sugar be used instead of the brown? where I live brown isn't easily accessible plus even tho the white is more refined (just extra steps) it costs 4 times less. it is what it is, basically another mistery of capitalism like recycled paper costing more than paper made from scratch.
if it's just to suck the water using osmotic pressure I don't see why the white won't do the same. I thought I'd ask before messing up my spores.
Could you make the bottom of your box out of hardware cloth then lay paper towel under rice layer? Any opinions on this design?
"if you can find a way to contact me" 🤣 thanks for the video
Is this process better, worse or just different from the bucket of water with the potatoes and the soil?
'Different' is the best answer i can give. I also have a video on JMS (the potato one) :) The question is how will you use it and what will work for you.
Hi from Brazil! How long can I store? do I need to add more sugar for a few weeks?
Thank you for replying, will give it a try, great video
Thank you, Chris!
I have a question for anyone who knows. I am trying to collect my own IMO and I have been getting a lot of what I can only describe as cobweb mold. I am wondering if this is a bad kind and how to tell when you've collected the good stuff? The cobweb mold is similar to mycelium. But from everything I've read its bad news.
Hey chris i had a question when you gather all the different insidious microbes can some of those harm you an any way by handling them with no gloves or are they harmless
Gloves always gloves
Do pumps hurt IMOs or is it ok to use manual pumps to spray IMOs all over the place?
You're still alive!
Will it work in any tempurature or should it be kept at room temperature?
How can I use IMO2 on my garden plants/veggies? Dissolve a bit in water or mix it into the soil?!?
I want to try this but I don't have an old growth forest close by
kI failed a few times.when i ever i make microrizaz and it grows, some of it is a lttle green. hard to see but looks like u may have some to. i always think it is mold. am i wrong? is it still useable. i thought i failed. can u explain to me what the green stuff is. ty.
How do you guys adjust pH in KNF? is there a natural way to make it go up and/or down???
Good stuff as always, Chris!
+J Blair thank you :)
thx CHRIS
I'm going to try to do this on my own here in Tucson Arizona
I live in Phoenix and wondering if I should even try to give it go especially with all the ants around my place.
@@Mesco-yw9gi find a spot thats theiving here theres rivers lakes...bury it a spot thats under a tree or some shit... .
Hello thanks for sharing, how long can I store it?
Can you use the sugar after its mixed for water kefir? Or do you not want to be ingesting it?
I have no forest, just clay 15 years recovered from tobacco as multispecies weeds and grasses. My arborest wood ships are growing white and blue mycelia(?)deep where they stay wet. are they what I need?
Chris, I enjoy all your videos!
How would you compare this to worm castings in terms of diversity of microbes? Recently at a worm conference people were talking down about KNF saying it was all lacto bacillus and only around 8 different microbes. Your thoughts are much appreciated
Thanks!
Cheers from NC
hello greetings I am very interested in learning from you but I do not know where to start some say IMO1.imo2.3imo others say EM1,2,3 KNF and other acronyms for now I do lactobacillus serum, I would appreciate your help if you can give it to me.
a greeting and thanks for sharing your knowledge
crisduar I am not Chris but I have studied soil and permaculture a little and I would guess that if you just wanted to mess around with the concept you can get your feet wet by taking some cooked rice and putting it in a nylon stocking something porous that doesn’t rot and bury it next to an old growth tree or put it on the ground somewhere there is an established forest and cover it over with leaves and such and check on it from time to time or just leave it and come back before the first frost. See what kinds of different things have grown on it and perhaps till it into a location in your yard or in your garden and water it in and see if that helps the growth in that area if not then try a different method . Sometimes I believe we must do things the so called wrong way to know the right way. Learning is what you get out of it and maybe you discover something completely new in the process. Good luck
Do you have to keep it out of direct sunlight?
Please Chris, what if I got a little dust of orange color powdery stuff on my cultured IMO, is that still ok, though no black. Please respond
Hi Chris, I was wondering, is it possible to add the LAB solution from the rice wash to IMO 2?
Would it be a problem if we make the box out of aggregated wood glued together (ie industrial wood) ?
2021 The year of the KMF boom 🌱💚🌱 💯
I love that shirt.
great job sir.
+naser mafaq thank you for the encouragement my friend :)
+naser mafaq here is a partial document on FAA like you wanted.
www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/oc/freepubs/pdf/SA-12.pdf
Chris Trump thank you very much
I know this was posted a very long time ago, but what if your IMO rice has white with a little pink in it? Can you still use? Can/should you try to leave that part of the rice out of IMO2? Thanks
A bit of colour is fine. Brown rice yields more colours
can i water imo 2 straight into my garden?
Thank you, Chris. Can I use the combination of white sugar and molasse to make IMO2 ? Because It is hard to find brown sugar in my country.
+mth2610 you can use white sugar. You can also use dehydrated molasses. Don't use liquid molasses, you will loose quality. :)
Thank you so much :)
Wtf. Dude. Love all this awesome info. Smart man.
can u mix the dirt in the imo if there all over the dirt?
I am curious what about using raw native honey instead of sugar, it creates osmotic pressure just as granular sugar does... What's your thoughts?
I believe honey is antimicrobial
@@Vuonglinh1 honey has high osmotic pressure, when diluted with water the bacteria and yeasts are free to multiply and turn into the oldest alcohol known to man. That same osmotic pressure is what knf utilizes in shelf stable imo
your using a lot of brown sugar. is there any alternative
sir in india it is hard to find powder jaggery so small cubes can be made should it be stirred then after 2 days or so to get the contents mixed
What about organic brown sucanat sugar mister trump
Why do you use brown sugar? It’s just white regular sugar with a bit of molasses..
Where are you based? Korea or US maybe?
Is it possible to have too much sugar?
This science of what is called the scientific term
what's the word on bugs in the imo 1 collection? can they be removed, continuing to use the sample, or should it be scrapped if theres a bunch of bugs in it
Hello sir, My IMO 2 is filling only 1/3rd of jar ! Is it mandatory to fill 2/3rd ? What if its only 1/3rd ?
whats up with the microbe edit at the 10 min mark?
can i use white sugar because not have brown sugar and can be use IMO in compost and how can be use
