I don't know why people ridicule the UB Tek. The overwhelming majority of people who try it, even newbies, are able to produce the loveliest shades of blue without any trouble. That is the psilocybin and psilocin. Same as when you cut a magic mushroom it turns blue, showing you how strong and potent it is. The bags below are almost 100% psilocybin. Try and do that using a PF-Tek, almost impossible.

I opened the video, saw Lysol and a box of uncle bens, on a stainless steel table surrounded by stainless instruments, then turned it off.
You don't know what you don't know, I suppose. Every noob equates any result with success. "I grew mushrooms, therefore it works", appears to be the sentiment. I would like to think that a simple, logical, reasonable explanation as to why this technique is less than desirable would be sufficient; But, I know better, their kool-aid is stronger than reason.
Relatively expensive grain packets inoculated with contaminated spore solution, filtered by micropore tape, over a hole opened by non sterile scissors or blade, may in fact result in mushrooms. However, the gods of probably dictate that "You may reasonably expect a man to walk a tightrope safely for ten minutes; it would be unreasonable to do so without accident for two hundred years."
Volume will reveal the flaws in your technique, inoculum, and your blatant denial of standard, sterile technique and protocol. This technique is simply retarded, designed by and employed by people who do not understand the basic principles which have been handed down to us by the wider scientific disciplines of microbiology, bacteriology, and mycology.
UB tek is the bacteriologists equivalent of inoculating agar with spit, then streaking with an isopropyl soaked fingertip to streak for species identification.
It's asinine....I mean, super jealous.
This is why the wider world of commercial mushroom farming sees us like this:
 
I'm relieved to know that all of this is garbage:

It can be sold and replaced by these:

Great value brown rice is $3.98 per 5 lb bag (@ 5 cents per oz). That isn't really a bad deal now is it? $40 per 50 lbs, but you don't even have to buy it all at once either. Just what you need, maybe 10 lbs at a time for $8, and still getting a deal. Plus, you can eat it for dinners too, but walmart brand rice isn't really that good IMO. Perfect for mushrooms grains though.
Why wouldn't you want to use brown rice over any other grains, that might cost 10-15 bucks cheaper for a big sack? How can you beat the quality, knowing that its just nice clean rice grains with nothing else..?
Then get an 8qt instant pot that can fit 4x 1qt jars and your in business. Pop out a $10 case of 90s rice pouches worth every few 2-3 hours. They really are super efficient too, and save big on electricity compared to PCs. You still need to prepare the rice and spend a little time, even though the IP does most of the work. Use it to precook the rice too.. You need to spend a half a day on and off to get 16 qts if you have only one IP though. You could just buy 32 rice packs for $40 on the way home from work and grow a lb if you actually start them off right with a clean culture and use proper work procedures handling the pouches.. It's not like the 90 second mycologist dudes don't promote using agar and even g2g the rice bags in front of flow hoods, etc. Its not like it isn't a viable alternative to growing mushrooms, if you can handle keeping 32 taped up bags sterile somehow.
Then re clean & sterilize the empty plastic pouches, and stuff all 32 of them with half ounces of dried product, after printing a cool label back over it, making them double use plastic
Melt all the plastic rice pouches down and form them into badass new mono tubs, lol.
I dunno.
Maybe that is why it's so appealing?

You musta missed my canned corn adventures… rinsed with boiling water… pc’ed for 45 minutes. Worked but only in small jars. It was still too wet. Qts had waaay too much water after the pc but I grew mush with it
Edit: grew some mak 118 with Cc too lol

This was the qt after the pc

Let's goooo! Gonna use peroxide instead of a PC for maximum sterility, Ketchup to make it secretly an LC, and mustard to keep the contams away.

The water content of stuff like this can be estimated by looking at the nutritional content, or by weighing a small amount and heating it until bone dry.
I did canned sweetcorn, I put it in containers and microwaved it to both reduce the water content and steam the container itself. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/4039905 Stephen L. Peele claimed to just use canned corn with no adjustment.
Loads of stuff like this was done before, people still seem to think it is a relatively new idea to use retort rice pouches.
this thread is over 18 years old using trader joe pouches, in it I was saying I tried UB a while before. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/4177651
Here are some kidney beans and peas I did just experimenting, again microwaving to drive moisture off.

This thread has been closed.
Reason:
The "Uncle Ben's Tek" is not a viable tek. The Shroomery would like to encourage new mushroom cultivators to adopt beginner friendly teks with proven track records; Bottom line, we want everyone to grow and harvest mushrooms with the highest possible rate of success.
If you insist upon using UB Tek, you can find plenty of amateur growers willing to help you over at Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/unclebens/
You can find more info here:
