Uncle Ben and other rice grows * 2
    #27689123 -

Hello folks,

So I’ve noticed a number of newer members who are gravitating towards inoculating Uncle Ben’s pre-cooked rice bags,  or using whole brown rice instead of brf cakes for a growing medium.  With much curiosity, I consulted the search engine on this site for encouraging grows using such grow methods. Honestly, I didn’t dig too hard, but with 20 minutes of searching, I didn’t find  anything that could point me to a grow that utilized such a method that resulted in anything other than a few piddly looking mushrooms growing out of a shitty looking substrate.

I would love to see some good harvests from Uncle Ben or whole brown rice grows that actually produce a legitimate harvest (weight). Please post in this thread. IMO, whole rice is a shitty grain choice for cultivation. Let’s see some grows that counter.

Thanks.

I ran Uncle Ben's just for the hell of it with a B+ syringe that I had no other use for after making some agar plates.  In a SAB, I wiped 8 bags down with iso, and inoculated  with 1 cc each.  I gave FAE by clipping the corner and putting on 2 layers of micropore tape.

4 of them had obvious visual contamination before full colonization could be seen at the bottom, and were discarded.  When I saw full colonization after 3 weeks, I gave the remaining 4 bags a knead.  All still had uncolonized areas.  Within a few days one turned a horrible green all over.  When the last 3 were colonized on bottom, I opened em.  2 looked pretty OK, 1 still had uncolonized areas and was iffy/slimy so I chucked it. 

I spawned the remaining 2 to a shoebox with 2 qts coir. It gave me 26g dry over 2 flushes and then contamed out.  A normal oat shoebox for me, made with 1 mycoquart of spawn, goes 3 or even 4 flushes and puts out an average of 41g.  And as long as I noc up from a clean agar plate, I rarely have a jar contam.

It all comes from memes, reddit and youtube. They'll walk you through all their steps to do a bens bag then show a monotub STUFFED with fruits at the end. I'm sure they copy and pasted their pictures from this forum into their videos/threads, but that's where it's coming from. I actually just bought 2 bags of uncle bens the other day thinking I'd get around to doing a 'bens growlog' here for the hell of it. I'm not sure if I'm worse off consuming the shit or trying to cultivate with it :lol:

I completely agree UB Tek is shit but once upon a time all I had was a 6-8 year old print think closer to 8, no PC or glass jars at the time (was in lockdown so couldn't go anywhere) and heard of the UB Tek thought that sounds easy and nocced up a couple bags!

This is the result from my best one 200g wet from 1 250g UB spawned to bulk

For a hobby grower that is fine, the fact is you could prep the rice yourself and put it in a sterilized milk jug and you would get results as well.

I haven't done it again was just the once. I swapped straight to BRF cakes and agar to grain once I had new spores! I hadn't grown for years had a UB Tek vid pop up in my suggested then While bored in lockdown in my supermarket seen UB rice on special thought this is a fucken sign hahaha. Then came to shroomery seen all the dislike for it and almost wanted to bin my bags right away but thought AHH fuck it I'll see it to the end and atleast got new prints. In no way was I suggesting it I agree its shit!

Looks like you have done your research and accurately assessed the success rate of "teks" like the UB. 

That's why we do things the right way around here.

Yes polarity ... these were grown using UB.



No, but you see how easy that was to do?

Gotta love the UB round about.

:fabkiddance:

The tek can work, and can work fine. It's a standard approach of grain to coir. The big caveat and the reason it isn't liked here is that it promotes spores to grain and doesn't provide the opportunity to learn how to make spawn. It's a fine way of throwing spores at rice and crossing your fingers. You might get a canpoy, but you might get a bag of mold/bacteria, the issue is that you have very little way of controling for this. If you're not bothered or not too fussed about learning the finer details of mushroom cultivation then no sweat. If you want to have a better level of control over your grows and want to learn then it is not the best tek to follow imo.

I want to do a rice weight to weight PF tek vs Uncle Beans here in this month. Each one of those bags has like 250 grams of rice and they give the sorriest flushes!

I feel there's a big enough difference between self prepared rice and UB, for that fact alone I reckon your pf vs rice would be a bit invalidated.

I know that PF tek will blow it away rice wight to rice weight that's why I want to do it to illustrate how much it sucks. I'm estimating a 500% increase of fruits for PF tek!

I just did a few UB bags along side my brf cakes and I had zero contams. Made 4 shoeboxes off 6 bags. 2 Burmas and 2 GT. They are starting to fruit now. This one is GT... The fuzzy bits are from rice too close to the top of the surface.

For 8 ounce. and you can get 48 ounces of brown rice for the same cost.

Or one 78 cent bag of brown rice and 50 cents worth of vermiculite...

You are just a bag of vermiculite from making rice actually good...

You can get verm at homedepot or walmart or amazon next day for a few bucks and it would work out WAY more cost efficient.

So really theres no reason to do it.
