It's good to be back

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to make a quick post saying how much I've missed you all. I'm starting a new PEU grow on agar today and I've been lurking for the past few days to catch up on teks and whatnot, after a break of several years. It's amazing to me, how much everything has changed in about 3 years. I'm especially amazed at things like Uncle Ben's tek getting big on Reddit... Also there are so many teks on youtube, which is an expected advancement. I feel like there's a trend toward cutting corners, but in a beautiful way. More about optimizing and simplifying the teks. I love it.
I've been reading through tek compendiums such as Bod's and the AMU tek lists... You guys are doing such a great job! Everything I need is so easy to find now.
Hello to all the TCs, new and old.
Hope you all have a wonderful day while I bask in the nostalgia of this hobby and get ready to start again.

Welcome back!
I'm jealous of your nostalgia. The feeling of coming back after a long break is priceless
Have a great Thanksgiving! (Maybe not )

The only thing you'll get by cutting corners and doing things like the uncle ben's "tek" is some very beautiful mold, or extremely intermittent success at best.
I think reddit has done more to harm to mushroom knowledge than it's helped TBH.

I'm sure it fails often, but you're taking away all the grain prep steps, going spore syringe directly to brown rice, then spawning to bulk. I feel like it's so easy. If it ends up failing often, people will look for a better way and find the shroomery, with real teks. Then they'll have some basic idea of how to perform the techniques already.
Seems like a nice easy novice tek, similar to starting with brf and sgfc, but easier, faster and with monotubs, which are what we end up wanting to make anyway.

Indeed it is, that is why it fails most of the time.
Then they come here with pictures of rotten, bacteria ridden rice in a bag and wonder why the tek failed, having no understanding of the proper method to grow anything.
Not trying to rain on your day, I'm just saying - there's a lot of reasons to do things the right way and taking shortcuts and doing things the lazy way just ends up, over and over again, with frustrated people that wasted time and money.
