A cat i once knew used precooked sealed rice from the store. No PC'ing or steaming as the stuff was sterile before the vacuum sealed it. It totally works for a spwan run. He used them for making sclerotia.

IMO the uncle bens spider man tek is about the shittiest way to try and grow. I mean it can technically work but, you have zero control over the grow and the fail rates are astronomical. Never seen a pic of an uncle bens grow that made me think “damn I should do that.”
That all being said I wish the OP luck, he will need it.

I imagine uncle bens is shitty quality rice, even the brown stuff. Dude i knew used better quality stuff that was organic. Same concept tho.

I've grown on brown rice before, hell I curently have some shoeboxes recovering from first flushes that were made with BR spawn that I made because lockdown meant all I had available was grocery store shit. Having said that, I am convinced BR will always go bacterial if you break it up to spawn to coir, its just too mushy a grain. Top fruiting is preferable.

sure it may not be the best way, no doubt about that but its all about what you have access too. esp if you just spawning to a nutrient rich casing or just making sclerotia. Ive had the ones from his pre-made rice dishes that he did not PC. There were some that were 25g wet, and very good i might say as well. he got those precooked organic rice things from the dollar store .
you should should us your progress Newfungusfarmer.

BRF jars are really easy, you should try them instead in the future. They have much better outcomes.
People still use birdseed sometimes, so it doesn't surprise me that people are using something silly like uncle bens, but the outcomes aren't going to be anywhere near what you'd get with good old BRF jars. I worry that the people hawking this uncle bens thing on reddit are going to end up turning a lot of people off of mushrooms all together when it contaminates or otherwise fails.
Still, good luck OP, hope everything works out for you.

You will find alot of people here don't like uncle Ben's Tek. It is viable if one just wants a small headstash. Best to approach it with a shotgun approach though. Shoot up a bunch and expect a good bit of misses.
I mix ground brown rice ( I use a blender so it's not really flour) into muddabittles instead of bran to act as a binder. I like it for that. IMHO mudda bottles with c-brf should be standard intro Tek for newbies

Hard for me to compare a proper method like Muda bottles to this uncle bens shit. One method achieves proper hydration of the media, a sufficient sterilization cycle, and advocates the use of proper inoculates. The other takes filthy spores and blasts them into over hydrated rice. No comparison IMO.

Oh yeah it's not even near a comparison, muda bottles even if sterilized in grandma's pc or an instapot are way superior uncle Ben's. It was more in reply to the people advocating pf cakes.
I view pf cakes or uncle Ben's as a way to get your feet wet, grow a handful of mushrooms for a very ocassional pshychonaut, or clone hunt when you can only find the variety you want in a syringe.
Muda bottles are themselves a holy entity who's name I would never use in vain like that. They hold a super special place for me, like my first shitty beat up car, or the terribly homely girl I talked into the back of it.

I still think fruiting cakes in a SGFC is much tougher than shoeboxes.

I personally have never seen any documentation that this "tek" actually creates anything besides mold.

There was a guy on FB that did a half decent grow with it however, he used agar to inoculate not spores and made the inoculation in front of a flowhood. Given most noobs see this as a way to skip getting a PC or doing any real work I seriously doubt most are growing much more than a couple weak fruits before the trich turns green.
