If you want to do UB, do it. You're not convincing anyone, Psillyseeems.

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 $40 on the way home from work and grow a lb if you actually start them off right with a clean culture and use proper work procedures handling the pouches.. It's not like the 90 second mycologist dudes don't promote using agar and even g2g the rice bags in front of flow hoods, etc. Its not like it isn't a viable alternative to growing mushrooms, if you can handle keeping 32 taped up bags sterile somehow.
Then re clean & sterilize the empty plastic pouches, and stuff all 32 of them with half ounces of dried product, after printing a cool label back over it, making them double use plastic
Melt all the plastic rice pouches down and form them into badass new mono tubs, lol.
I dunno.
Maybe that is why it's so appealing?
i fail to see how this is better than wheat.
i get wheat at 12$/50lbs. you can eat it too.

have you a question for me? need some clarification or something? I pretty much agree with YOUR comment though, or is that quote from someone else?

Can you post the guide you followed? in hindsight is there anything you would do differently? hopefully you have the intelligence to figure out what I mean by this question, rather than some all too predictable cringeworthy reply like "do PF tek".
People are talking about UB teks, but I see none posted, just the video in the first post.

what is "it", have you a link to this "UB tek" that you are talking about? When/if you do can you be a bit more clear about what you mean when you say it is near impossible to improve, surely there will be improvements you could suggest to it, i.e. very easy alterations which would likely increase the potential for success by say 20% (which I would consider a meaningful improvement).
I asked the other poster for a link to the guide they considered but heard nothing. I do not believe there is a definitive one.
e.g. in the video they are injecting 2.5ml, I gave advice on this. Maybe I am completely misunderstanding this "near-impossible to improve" comment.
The other crazy thing I see is people massaging bags, which is working them like bagpipes forcing air in and out at a very fast rate, far faster than many filters will cope with.

Holy shit this whole time I was operating under the impression that this whole thread was posted as an elaborate troll. This guy is actually serious? he really came here to tell us to stop what we are doing to inoculate bags of shitty fucking rice that's desiccated with Roundup? Say it ain't so.

1.Squirting spore solution directly into any grain vessel that you intend to spawn.
2. Trying to circumvent prepping and sterilizing your own grain by buying bags of microwaveable rice.
3. Working in open air, without proper sterile technique.
4. Trying to inoculate by cutting a corner off a bag of microwaveable rice.
5. Trying to add gas exchange by making a hole in a bag of microwaveable rice and then putting micropore tape over it.
You can ask "what TEK specifically," but it doesn't matter. These are the central elements to UBtek. Could you increase your chances a bit by not hitting all of them? Sure, maybe. But the more you deviate from that formula, the more pointless it all becomes. You lose the main draw of a simple one-step process as you add elements that involve more work and equipment, while retaining most of the risk.
But the fundamental issue, to me, is that there's no learning curve, or ability to do any real troubleshooting. You're just stepping back up to the craps table every time.

Here's the angle: start a YouTube channel where you disavow all the elitist shit that you were involved in at the Shroomery, call this place a cult, and then promote a "hybrid" UB method. Maybe add a sketchy LC prep step, and encourage people to buy Wal-Mart brand rice. Rebrand it as "Great Value TEK." Rake in the cash with affiliate links to crappy overpriced equipment.

You musta missed my canned corn adventuresβ¦ rinsed with boiling waterβ¦ pcβed 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

Pro-tip...just fry that corn dog, slice it long ways and top with chili cheese....you're welcome.
