Did you let the rice wash water develop the “sweet” change in the smell?

In master Cho’s book it does state that a small amount of “bad guys” will be outcompeted by the “good guys”. You will know when you get to the IMO 3 stage for sure.

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.

Hi both. Thanks for your responses. I’ve heard that the general rule is that if the collection is 80% nice white fluffy mould then the collection should be ok. Is this correct?

Going back to my collection, I found that it wasn’t a tie die collection, it only had a few pink spots and no other colours. These pink spots were on less than 20% of the rice.

I’ve still got it but, as I understand, we are looking for microbial diversity so I’m going to follow master cho’s process (via Chris trump) and try to get great collections (just white fluffy mould) from different seasons and this pink/fluffy mould collection could be added in a mix of collections as opposed to being used as the only collection.

Also thanks drake for the advice on cooking the rice. Will use less water next time as I think this was the problem.

Zulaikha,

40%/80 proof is the most common and not as expensive as a higher percentage. 100%/200 proof would cost more, probably not worth the price for a better extraction. You need at least 35-40% to properly tincture.

It’s worth the time and effort, OHN will keep in the fridge for a year. I mix them 1p each with 2p angelica root as I need it, otherwise each ingredient is independent sitting in the fridge.

The blood and water can turn the batch no good. I have found in my experience it is best to work with just the solids. The blood can be fermented separately for more immediate use.

Mineral A-D are special extracts that Master Cho makes. He has never taught the recipe, and in our testing of them vary greatly from batch to batch. The closest we have come to making them is to put different rocks into what he calls a BMW Machine. Because the minerals are not readily available or consistent, they are not part of the 9 Core Solutions, and instead we advise the use of seawater to get a balanced amount of all minerals, which is nearly identical to Mineral A.

Feel free to dig deeper into this though, there are many references throughout my videos of Cho talking about the minerals.

Water Soluble Phosphoric Acid does help during the change-over period and should be used by advanced natural farmers.

Hi,

OHN will help keep fat/lipids down, but a dash of IMO4 will really really help keep the top dissolved.

I would not use LAB on top of your FAA.

To make a good FFA, it takes 3-6 months… if you get it right 1:1 BS/Fish, just let it sit until it’s completely liquid.

I do this in a glass jar, then put it in the ground, (outside) in a hole an check on it later.

What is your temperature in which you’re fermenting at? Are you covering the top with a good 1inch of BS?
