since you can't read my GL I'll show you here

Stick to the tested and know substrates, espically while youre still new
The other day I made up a few jars and ran out of substrate with one half pint to go. I went to the kitchen and looked for something to experement with sadly all I could find was a box of Uncle Ben's 5 Minute Rice. So I figured what the hell, I'll try it. A while back I read in the forums that minute rice wouldn't work but I tried anyway. Here's what I did....

I grabbed 1 cup of minute rice, tossed it in a bowl and submersed it in water.

I let it soak for 2 hours, It swoll up to about twice it's size, the outside was like steamed rice but the inside was still hard.

I strained and rinsed it and put it in the half pint with a dry verm cap.

I PCed it with my other PF jars and innoced with 2cc of z-strain on dec 10th.

On december 26th the rice was fully colonized, it displayed rizo. growth the entire time. at this point my PF jars were only 50% colonized, So i Birthed it



I prepared my self a container to case in and layed down a base layer of 100% coca coir



I then broke up the cake, it fell apart nicely like grain does



When the entire cake was broken up it created a substrate layer of about 1.75 inches



I then layed down a casing layer of 50/50 verm/coir about 0.75 inches deep, placed some 2 mil vapor barrier over the casing and incubated it, I had to patch once







Finally today (Jan 3) I saw the first pins



I will do daily updates at 11 pm est from this point on so check back..

also on a side note: I can't beleive this worked :thumbup:

here is my first update (JAN 4) check back tommorrow for more

as you can see that is quite the pin set

3 new pics for today, think i will harvest in the morning, thats pins of a coffee simmered wbs in the background


pics before plucking

and after pluckuing

thats 106.6grams wet, I didn't weigh the aborts so there's probally another 3 or 4g there trip report coming up either 2night or tommorrow

**TRIP REPORT**
none. there was no trip, my offical tester ate 30g fresh at 8pm, it is now 11.37pm and the highest he got was the giggles for about 5 mins. When he eats my WBS Z-strain he normally takes 2.3 cracker dry and hits a low level 5 even had ego death once of 3g of dried Z-strain, His level of my impressive flush-----LEVEL 1, thats right the potency is about the same as the crappy shrooms that are in circluation round here, in other words, my best flush off any single cake casing yeilded 106.6 of crap, great learning experence though

I decided what to do with this experement, Mr. Katana helped

lol thats a funny yet disappointing story. lol
im just trying to get as much imput on what mycelium can feed off of and grow healthy. just for research. i grow on mahatma brown rice. so far so good.

Th way i understand mycelium growth is this. it feeds it grows.. right! environment is not an issue.

thanks for that post though, i was wondering what was up with uncle ben!

Any whole grain, really....also...dung. mmmm some mushrooms like different things. It all depends on the species. Some mushrooms are paracitic and infect living insects.


--------------------
I look for answers and present ideas, but in no way shape or form endorse, or partake in, growing, or manufacture of substances, or plants, or any specie that is illegal in your neck of the woods. I do however, tear the tags off of my mattresses. Be warned.

That says a lot about Minute Rice, too.

Here's part of a poem!!

I looked into my palm and saw what we had feared the most
The mouse had gnawed into the frond while they had sought the GHOST
The blender's better blunder blurred the butter's bluish hue
My sugar cube exploded, tiny shrapnel blinded YOU!

Don't panic! There's more. Just ask!
