I would say so. I have some going in WBS as we speak. It is my first time with this species though, so I don't have anything to compare to.
But it definitely works. It colonized real quick too!
What makes you say no then?

yeah you need to simmer it for like 5 minutes after soaking it for around 12 hours. Simmering birdseed much longer makes it too sticky.
after simmering you strain it immediately and stir it so all the steam can escape. The goal now is to let the outside of the seed dry, but the inside will stay moist because of the simmering. So just let it sit out, stirring occasionally, for around an hour.
Then load and pressure cook.

Corn is Quite fine for stones. I'd favor it lots over grass seed, rice, and birdseed but only for stones. It has great spaces amongst the grains and is the easiest to harvest from. Otherwise, the exact opposite - corn kinda sucks for fruits.
In general, for prep, you need to lean how much simmer is enough for each grain, to get them poofed up and wet inside without becoming weak soft and sticky or wet on the surface.
You learn by DOING.

my bad, I thought you said no. I'm glad you think it works as I'm about to start 40 pounds worth of it. I read somewhere that I could get 2 dry pounds from that. Needless to say I'm excited as hell. Haha.

I would lke too thank alot of people for giving info and different substrates and ideas I'm going too try too look for rye grain because i live in a farming community and there's a lot of feed mills around here and if I'm looking for rye grain i don't know if there's specific kinds places sell but i think i get the idea too ask for untreated rye grains? From what i get from this thread is that rye grain works best for scletoria stones and ima try and look hard for this and if anyone could let me know what i need too know about buying rye grain if its possible in my area i think thay it's possible. but i will try because this grain sounds like the best for this but if i can't i will just have too experimentation with different substrates i can get versus buying everything online

If you can get rye, do it. Personally, I've never even seen it being sold in my town so I have to use wbs which works just fine too.

Sometimes you have to ask for rye berries Sometimes you have to ask for winter rye seed The rye is usually sold in 50lb bags for pretty cheap at the feed store. Also I believe the consensus is that you want something organic/unprocessed. You can also substitute rye with other cereal grains like (winter wheat,oats,barley) but you might want to do some searching about the other cereal grains before experimenting. You can also find premixed cereal grains, usually oats/rye/wheat, in cover crop mixes if sold in your area.
