Grow kits are great if you just want to explore mushrooms for the first time . Some people only want to try them once to see what all the fuss is about . It's just like anal sex , some girls like it and other sluts love it . If this get's people more interested in mushrooms cultivating then you should be promoting it not putting it down .

Some 40 year old virgin who lives with his mom in a trailer park might not be able to grow his own but the kit will give him every thing he needs to get into cultivating and move out from his moms place and into his own home to explore his sexuality and find out that mushrooms do make you gay .See my point . Stop being a bunch of hater and help these noobs out . If you don't want see post about grow kits then don't read them .

And to anyone paying $100-$200 for a grow kit you only have yourself to blame .

...the over puffed confidence, of pesudo expertise and experience, to harrass serious growers, and clog the boards with misinfo.

grow kits dont transform lives.
they dont get peeps laid.
they really teach nothing.

if they did much of anything other than enrich the kit salesmen,
it just wouldnt be capitolism!

truly interested, sane adults, in control of their lives, should grow.
loosers , shouldnt be allowed to have kits.
they should get lives and education, not mail order shitbags.

think about it, 49.95, and any crap bag can be on hallucinogens.
it ranks as a plan, slightly above giving toddlers meth labs.

the community, will never evolve,
if its all about jiffy pop and spore syringe.

I got a kit. Now I've read all of FrankHorrigan's, TL's and Stromrider's journals. Have a PC, my WBS prepped, my SAB up and running, my monotubs on the ready. I'm gathering supplies to start agar work. I wanted to get started ASAP because a friend of mine is leaving to Africa for med school and I wanted him to try home grown mushrooms before he left. It takes a while to find the good information here. It requires a lot of patience and time. Anyway, I don't see the point of insulting people who started with a grow kit. After this grow I plan on moving on to lions mane mushrooms; I've found I really enjoy this hobby. I would still be here if not for the kit, but IMO we shouldn't go around stereotyping.

If you read my post you would have noticed that I never stated we should all grow kits to stop the evolution of mushroom cultivation , instead I pointed out that it is more of a introduction to cultivating . I notice that your attitude as not evolved since topia , Maybe you should work on that a bit more instead of posting all your misinformation about being a serious growers.

You'r right Sytar but some members here forget where they started out .

as a note, education, would be a proper start for noobs.
shit bags in the mail, is for those that lack that inclination.

my attitude, is always,
cheap hackery trumps nothing.

kits promote that.
no apologies for simplistic truth.

* as far as topia, its a dead mall now.
its archives are dated, and most serious growers have fled.
id question " their" atttitudes before anything else.
a sinking ship , lacks authority on sea worthy.

takes moxy , to hold a crashed site as an example of ANYTHING.

I posted about this already, but I only ended up using the brf jars they sent. Harvested 3.5oz on my first grow (12 jars). Right now I'm simmering my wbs, getting ready to load up the pressure cooker for the second grow. I already used violet's pp5 tek and have 9 grain petris going; I don intend to start cultivating I already am.

grow kit suppliers and their lies:

"Without a doubt the Bee plus is the largest of all cubensis mushrooms. Perhaps the B+ is even the most resilient. Stories are not uncommon of people disposing the substrate in the garden after depletion only to find B+ growing there the year after."

from mandrax360's link.
Things like this makes it impossible to have an informative web site like the shroomery.
So many competitors spreading the misinfo just trying to sell their shit as gold.

mandrax360 is a grow-kit sales person. So his opinion will be biased.

Grow kits are an awful way to start out. Unless you consider high price for stuff you can buy on your own and a bad set of instructions written in the company's own form of pig-Latin a good idea.

The only good thing about them is it's one-stop-shopping. But, this is negated by the level of crappy-ness that you get in one stop.

years ago,
someone gave me a kit as a gift.
(they didnt know i could grow.)

it was such a heart warming, and a sincere gift,
that i grew some up, and told em the kit did it. NOT.

its the thought that counts i suppose.

I wish I were a grow kit salesman as I would be rich $$$$$$$$$$$$. More to the point the world works on supply and demand , one would not supply were there is no demand . I have never had the need to buy a grow kit but I see the market for them .

When a grow kit salesperson uses bad info in attempts to get one up on everyone else he is only destroying the substrate that keeps him alive anyway. You need the world to stand on. Sell them swill and you'll get it back, your money will keep you from having real fun.
