Hi, I'm new to growing, and mushrooms in general. I was wondering if this is a good starting kit?
Kit Includes: • 6 Ultra Substrate Jars, 1/2 Pint, Premixed & Pressure Sterilized (The best on the net) • 16 Quart Growing Chamber • Thermometer/Humidity Gauge • 1 Quick Brite Grow Light • 1 Gallon of Premium Ultra Fine Perlite (Formulated to release moisture better) • Extremely detailed step by step growing guide with pictures designed for this kit ALSO mushroom Cultivation 101: How to inoculate, How to Incubate, How to Fruit, Casing methods & amazing way to quickly dry your mushrooms
I will post the link to the kit upon request, if wanted.

Most of those kits are pretty overpriced for what you get. That's a kinda small fruiting chamber to do very much with. It's worth it though I'm sure if you got the $ and are intimidated by the prospect of putting it together yourself.
Welcome to the Shroomery. FYI- most people don't ask cultivation questions here in the pub, so you may not get the best answers here. Try the mushroom cultivation forum. Not sure what the rules are there though about noobs posting. I know they've changed some of the rules since I started.

Post here for cultivation questions
Sounds like a decent started kit but you'd be way better off researching, buying some supplies, and starting out with the pf tek. Your get a larger yield most likely and it'll be way more satisfying. Trust me

how is the fruiting chamber? the Shotgun fruiting chamber is considered optimum for the pf tek, wich by the sound of the 1/2 jar is what this kit use.
the only advantage I see are the pre-sterilised jar, assuming they were done right.
welcome to the forums man

Any time. Welcome to the shroomery. Make sure to come back to the pub and shoot the shit. That's mostly what we do here.

I agree you can do this on a shoestring. And the info is out there. Make your own Kit from dollar store stuff the only big exspense is the pc and syringe. sorry bout the spelling errors But I got a drunk buddy pestering me about a stupid baseball game. Good luck on your first grow.

Well the only reason i was thinking it was a good deal was because it's only $44. But thanks! I'll post the results of my first (and definitely not last) grow! Hoping for success...

Nah it's still a ripoff. The components he listed:
• 6 Ultra Substrate Jars, 1/2 Pint, Premixed & Pressure Sterilized (The best on the net) • 16 Quart Growing Chamber • Thermometer/Humidity Gauge • 1 Quick Brite Grow Light • 1 Gallon of Premium Ultra Fine Perlite (Formulated to release moisture better)
Could be had for probably around $20-25 or so Plus you get much more satisfaction and knowledge from doing it yourself. I'm assuming it's PF tek as well, you don't even need a PC for that.
