Got a Mega Mushroom Growing and Incubator Kit
    #18375359 - 06/05/13 10:38 PM (10 years, 9 months ago)

So a friend of mine bought me the Mega Mushroom Growing and Incubator Kit from (http://www.midwestgrowkits.com/grow-kits.html).


-18 Ultimate ½ pint substrate Jars- Pressure sterilized and ready to grow!
-Mega Growing, Incubating Chamber System- 56 Quart size!
-Grow up to 30 jars at once!
-Digital Thermometer with Hygrometer/humidity gauge
-Electric 50W Adjustable under-tank heating pad with adjustable thermostat
-Custom Hydroponic Humidifier
-Electric Air Pump, ultra silent
-2 Silicone Air filtration hoses with 2 HEPA filters built in
-Heavy duty electric timer with 24 on/off settings per day
-2 Grow lights, one incandescent and one LED
-2 Gallons of Perlite- Fine, imported, specially formulated horticulture grade
-Hospital grade Latex Gloves
-Alcohol swabs
-Easy to follow growing guide with step by step photo instructions. Includes our secret tips, tricks and hints that other grow guides leave out. Includes how to incubate, how to fruit, casing methods, and quick way to dry your harvest in 24 hours



I've been doing some research on it, and as far as grow kits go its seems pretty good. But it seems that most users on here dislike grow kits. So I was wondering what could I do to it to make it better? I only have whats included in the kit and I have 20cc of spores on the way. What things in the kit should I forget about and what things should i buy? (I should note that I don't have a lot of cash)

Thank you in advance for your help! :thumbup:

Don't worry about using an incubator. Build yourself a SGFC (Shotgun fruiting chamber) for fruiting your cakes.

Humidifier = waste of money
Air pump = waste of money
Heating pad = waste of money

Timer and lights depend on whether you can get ambient sunlight or not. If you can use ambient sunlight then do so.

You can use that perlite for your SGFC.

Your friend coulda saved a lot of money buying supplies himself and omitting all the extra garbage. Ps you'll need more perlite. You want in my opinion at least 6 inches.

Unfortunately it will be closet grow, so no ambient sunlight :frown:. But i have a clamp on light fixture that i can put a cfl(with a color temperature of 5,000 Kelvin to 7,000 Kelvin) in.

Watched all 4 videos, very informative!

So I'll drill a ton more holes in the tub and buy more perlite.

Thanks for the quick help!:grin:
