In Photoshop, in the channel mixer, under red output, change red to 0% and blue to 100%, this is what I have.

you need to do custom WB, check your camera manual for how to set custom WB, you need to take a patch of green foliage as WB reference
 

Please read the stickies in the IR sub-forum, or read the numerous guides easily searched online for the steps you are missing. It's not as easy as just adding the filter and then channel mixing.
 

Thanks Brothers,

Will try to explore more, if any other questions will post in the IR forum.

need to set custom wb.

i can squeeze out similar stuff, but i am not sure whether it is because you have underexposed the image, or because you didn't have a custom wb..

in photoshop, go to hue/saturation, set at master, -30 saturation
auto levels, auto color:

to get a blue sky you need that area to be devoid of clouds.
