Im quite angry, there is a post in the drug archives that says you can grow shrooms of off brown rice. Not brown rice powder mixed with vermiculite, just plain old brown rice and water....if innoculated with a spore print. Yes thats right, a spore print, not a syringe, but a print. Sounded pretty sketchy to me but the dude that wrote it sounded pretty believable so i tryed it. He said everything should turn out right if you use your head, well i did(autoclave sterilization and all) and everything didnt turn out right. After about a week the rice turned to complete mush and started to smell like something out of a dumpster somewhere in hell. I threw them out becuase they were making my room smell like shit and i didnt want to contaminate my pf tek jars. I just wanted to know if anyone else has tried and failed like me, or by any chance in never never land if anyone has accually had any luck with the method.

DO NOT

I REPEAT

DO NOT TRUST ANY OF THE DRUG FILES ON TOTSE

that being said... when the hell is something going to be done about that?!

I didnt trust it to begin with. I mean come on, plain brown rice? spore PRINT? doesnt make sence, your right, they do need to clean out some of the uselessness

Well, the not mixing with vermiculite part was wrong, but jars can be innoculated from prints. Thats how it was originally done. This is where sterile devices come in to play like glove boxes and laminar flow hoods.

*ahem*.

Have many time does J.C. need to post something saying 'If you find something that shouldn't be there [i.e.: bad and/or misleading info, etc.], e-mail him with the pertinent information and he will remove the file[s]

thank you meta- i'll do that.

[i hadn't caught that, i'm sorry.]

believe me i have researched those sites thoroughly along with many others but thanks for posting them anyways, and for all the other info. But if anyone has accualy tried this method i would be rather delighted to hear their thoughts and/or theorys on why it did or didnt work for them.

I never understood what the "PF Tek" part stood for. I know what they are but where did they get that name from?

All I know is tek stand for technique.

P.S. Dont follow any of the texts at the ka-fuckin-boom section either.

the PF Tek stands for the Psilocybe Fanaticus Technique seeing as in how they discovered the technique. might i add its just about the easiest and most sucessful "tek" out there and i owe most of my cultivation experience to it. you should check it out, its at Http://www.fanaticus.com/index
