My advice is:
Don't buy a kit
Make your own. It'll be better and cheaper.
Do a search for fruiting chambers and read up. Any questions after that will gladly be answered.

Not only is it cheaper but its more satisfying. I think half the fun of this hobby is doing everything yourself.
Good Luck!

Kits suck, your yield will suck, your control of the variables will suck, your sense of accomplishment will suck.

It sucks.

Buy a clear tub, perlite, vermiculite, BRF, widemouth halr pint jars with lids, a hygrometer, themometer, and a few cube syringes. Be sterile and do it the right way. Before you know it you'll be casing and doing bulk substrate.

Yup, just buy the stuff yourself as you need it. Kits are for people with too much money and not enough knowledge to know how to use their money. Plus, the stuff they give you in that kit, its all the crappiest brands that they can find, all the bargain stuff that breaks. If you buy the stuff individually and pick it out yourself, you can decide how good of quality you want, plus you still spend a lot less. And you'll learn so much more.

The PF-tek is a great place to start if you aren't sure where in the world to start with all these teks and everything. It can be a bit overwhelming at first. But as long as you aren't in a rush just to "grow shrooms", and you want to learn how to do all the stuff correctly, and you read read read, you'll be well on your way!:thumbup::laugh:

Good luck!
