uncle bens tek. Half i did CS method with chip flip. half without the second air exchange

looking for any advice regarding spidey tek. aka uncle bens. i inoculated 13 bags. complete proper sterilization. used .5cc to .75cc per bag. i have GOOD HEALTHY white mycelium growth in almost all of them. the ones i used the CHIP CLIP method adding a air exchange cut with micropore tape up top seem to be growing faster AND if i squeeze the bag they smell like fresh mushrooms. now the other half i did NOT use chop clip so the only type of air exchange is through the puncture hole when i inoculated and micropore tape over. they all had solid growth from the beginning but i’m noticing now some of them have slowed and when i squeeze the bag thay have a mushroom scent WITH a slight sour/sweet smell. similiar to fermenting wine or something. my question is. are they worth trying to chip clip and add a air exchange ? i’m sure they’re battling bacteria of sorts at this point from the smell. just wondering if the gas exchange would help the Myc battle any contams easier ? pics wouldnt help much bc as i said they all have good nyc growth but the ones with no gas exchange are slower and have a slight sour smell

i haven’t ever used the uncle ben tek so i can’t help you with specifics there but in my experience mycelium doesn’t really “fight off” or “battle” contams, you just have contaminated spawn & it means you should throw it out & start over. it’s sucks but it’s inevitable in the hobby /:
the slow down of growth & smell def sounds like bacteria to me. if you’re truly desperate you could maybe fruit them but bacterial spawn isn’t worth fruiting imo. maybe some people get decent results with bacterial spawn but ime it’s gonna perform like shit 99% of the time & then contam out. it’s good that you have some bags that smell good though!! i’d recommend growing those out & learning to use agar & grain if you’re planning on cultivating often!! it’s well worth the research & learning curve

Unfortunately I have no guidance to give on this tek. I do have guidance in that you should be trying the proven methods expounded on this site. Using uncle ben's is not going to accrue you much success. Use agar.

Since no one else is helping here you go. I found the Chip clip method to work much better. The Capri Sun method doesn't provide enough air exchange and is prone to getting contam more. If it smells sweet or sour that isn't good.
UB is a good place to start but it is costly when 80% of your bags get contam. Broke boi tek is a better place to move to before you get into agar which is my progression over the last 4 months. I did use 2 bags of UB to to a G2G of bigger jars.
I think the UB has too much water in it. The Target brand are much better with no window but had like 80% success.
These are just my opinions and I am new so I probably don't know what the fuck I am talking about but that's what I have learned so far.
Best of luck Peace

If those bags of rice come sterile from the factory (and they should) and you inoculate them with clean LC instead of spores then I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work. Problem is them noobs and dirty inoculants. I think they have a similar cooked rice in the supermarket near my house, I may try it some day just for shit and giggles.

If they’ve got established contams I think more fae would just make them go bad immediately.
