If you haven't tried the uncle bens technique the do yourself a favour and get onto it. Easy, cheap and productive.

Gonna second this! I was thinking about creating an Uncle Ben's community, but I don't have enough time to moderate. I wonder if Shroomscout or Lit-Logistics will make their way to the Fediverse.

Anyway, if anyone wants more info on the UB tek- check out 90 Second Mycology on youtube. It's a great way to get started in the hobby, or if you can't sterilize your own grain.

edit: Shroomscout or Lit-Logistics if you ever see this comment thanks for all the info, you guys are the reason I'm cultivating today :)

So far I've done one grow using uncle ben's tek and my current grow using broke boi tek. I definitely finding myself preferring the broke boi since I can reuse the jars.

Nice. Never tried broke boi. I am time poor so the convenience of "sterilise, stab and forget" is what I like. Experimenting with Aldi "brown rice and chia" and "brown rice with ancient grains" bags. Could get wild. :)

Uncle Ben's was my first successful grow so I'll never shit on it but I'm glad I have my pc now 🍄💕

I'm a big fan of uncle ben's tek! It's great for when you don't have a ton of supplies on hand

[-] RoadkillUgly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, it is what got me into mycology. Simple and works, a bit like me. ;)

Uncle Ben's Tek is more than welcome here! Would love to see some progress photos! :)
