Hemp or other alternatives for IMO 3
Hello!
In the level 2 course on YT, Drake tried using hemp in the 2nd video as a substrate for IMO3. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find the next video in the series, so do not know if that experiment worked out or not.
Hemp is a really cheap resource here, and it would be awesome if we could use it in this process.
Also, for non-tropical growers, what have been some successful alternatives to wheat mill run for you?
Thanks!

the main thing to think of is u want Carbs and Carbon at a 50/50 to 60/40 ratio to make IMO3 the Carbs r food the Carbon is the hotel if u think of it like this u will find 100s of alternatives and the ones that r cheapest or even better free are the best to use for u - one of the greatest ideas of natural farming is the ingredients r not really specific its use what u have - chris trump uses nut shells and nut left over from his nut farm drake iv seen use grain and wood chips iv most recently used cracked corn and grains (old chicken feed from a friend) and hardwood lump charcoal ( for my BBQ ) its about remembering Carbs n Carbon and use what u got

I was watching a YouTube video made more recently, now that Chris Trump is in Idaho? At any rate, he stated that his latest favorite for IMO3 is crimped oats.
Not free for me in Southwestern Ontario Canada, but doable and that's better than wheat bran (quite cheap here, relatively speaking). Crimped oats is naturally carb plus carbon, I'm pretty sure, and if it gets too hot (I'm not allowed to make IMO until spring, lol...hubby thinks it's just pointless now that we're headed into winter), I can cover with wood chips. I still have to make OHN.
I'm thinking maybe it's a good idea to start this all in the fall, so I have time to make some of the longer process inputs.

Thanks for your response!
Is that ratio by weight or volume?
