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 :smile:.

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.

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.

Pretty sure he meant inoculate; given that he seems to have done very little research (a safe assumption for someone trying this uncle bens BS) I just assumed that he meant inoculated. However given the number of people who would rather eat a brf cake than grow fruits perhaps my assumption was in error.

For what it's worth, I did a bag for shits and giggles while noccing up my rye berries. I intended to do 2 bags, but one was sacrificed to the gods of dinner prep (benefit of uncle ben tek). I did the same thing as OP, wiped it down in the SAB, broke up the rice block a bit, cut the corner of the bag off, sprayed half a CC of MS PE syringe in there, taped the corner with micropore tape, tossed it in the dark and waited for it to contam.

Definitely didn't contam, colonized fully, I birthed it with coir/verm in a shoebox along side my traditional rye berry jars. I've pulled a lot from the uncle bens shoebox over 2 flushes so far. The uncle bens was the only one from the first flush that didn't blob over as well.

That’s a cool story but it’s not really worth much as documented grows go. For instance I grew this monster pile of fruits on a cinder block. Just sprayed spores all over it and let it colonize in my freezer. No contams

Based on the failure rates I've heard about seems like Uncle Ben's tek would be about as expensive as any tek that requires more equipment but has a better success rate

You save yourself disappointment and stress with other teks

Like seriously, what's the point in these sorts of posts? Why is everyone shitting on a low tech easily accessible method of growing? We're using storage bins as SABs, ziplock and gladlok rounds as petri dishes, plastic fucking shoeboxes as fruiting chambers, so why the incredible resistance to the idea of using a  wildly available store bought sterilized substrate?

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




For what it's worth, I did a bag for shits and giggles while noccing up my rye berries. I intended to do 2 bags, but one was sacrificed to the gods of dinner prep (benefit of uncle ben tek). I did the same thing as OP, wiped it down in the SAB, broke up the rice block a bit, cut the corner of the bag off, sprayed half a CC of MS PE syringe in there, taped the corner with micropore tape, tossed it in the dark and waited for it to contam.

Definitely didn't contam, colonized fully, I birthed it with coir/verm in a shoebox along side my traditional rye berry jars. I've pulled a lot from the uncle bens shoebox over 2 flushes so far. The uncle bens was the only one from the first flush that didn't blob over as well.






That’s a cool story but it’s not really worth much as documented grows go. For instance I grew this monster pile of fruits on a cinder block. Just sprayed spores all over it and let it colonize in my freezer. No contams






Like seriously, what's the point in these sorts of posts? Why is everyone shitting on a low tech easily accessible method of growing? We're using storage bins as SABs, ziplock and gladlok rounds as petri dishes, plastic fucking shoeboxes as fruiting chambers, so why the incredible resistance to the idea of using a  wildly available store bought sterilized substrate?




Because using bins as SABs, glad rounds for agar and shoeboxes (which I’m not a fan of) won’t result in a lack of control leading to a mold farm. Uncle bens give a person zero control and causes many people to give up cause the “easy foolproof uncle bens tek” caused them to grow a nasty mold farm. This hobby can be hard enough when you follow everything to the letter. This tek will lead more people to failure than anything else.

i think we need to make an emotional support thread that we can direct butt hurt babies to so they can look at pictures of bunnies and unicorns and cups of coco in the hopes that it will calm them down and give them a few min to dry their tears and be told that everything will be just fine cuz they are special and are a winner at everything they do🦄🦋🌈🍭🍪🧃

I like to think I’m open minded and willing to push the envelope. Shit I grew cubes on a bath towel and in a bathtub. I’m not a huge stickler for following teks if you have a good grounding in the principles. That uncle bens BS isn’t grounded in anything but being lazy and not caring if you fail. I can accept the being lazy but, I hate failure.

I got busy and didn’t get many pics of the towel. Missed the first flush and had a terrible sporeload, it’s amazing it had a second and third flushes.

Colonized towel



First flush early side pins



Third flush



It wasn’t as good a yield as my polar fleece cubes, but it was a fucking bath towel.

I kinda abandoned it when life got busy and I stopped growing. I may pick it back up again in the future though.

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 :smile:.

you should should us your progress Newfungusfarmer.




nutrient rich casing???? what are u talking about the whole point of a casing is that its non nutritious.




I've seed casing mixture made with manure, there are def nutrients in a casing of that sort.

Then it's not casing material. Csding are non nutritious you dont even want it to colonize it's just to hold moisture at the surface.

Nice one. Uncle Ben's is the go. I'm just starting and had a 1 in 4 success from spores from my first try in a super hot and humid mould infested climate and apartment. Good luck and save a chunk from any good bag to Grain 2 Grain transfer to new bags

You are saving chunks of dirty ass MS to dirty ass Uncle Ben's Nutrient Deficient bags to make more bags from g2g? No wonder you have 25% success. I predict when you start g2g with that it will go down, way down.
