fuck grow kits
The PF tek is incredibly easy
Colonizing and spawning some wbs/rye jars to a monotub isn't much harder
Atleast when you do everything yourself you know you fucked up somewhere if something goes wrong

PF tek is so easy I watched someone do it once and read one thread here and had success with no contams. Grow kits are a waste of money. You can have a successful grow on less money and hassle than what an eighth of weed costs.

If you're gonna do a grow kit why not just find a dealer selling by the gram. Would probably be cheaper. Those things are huge rip offs. You can get all the stuff, easily, for 1/2 or even a 1/4 of what a kit costs.

I agree that the pf tek is super easy and cost effective. Its just the fact that there are grow kits that use a microwave? Seems off to me

Probably because they know their substrate is contaminated to shit and that's their solution.

Why would one ever need to microwave a grow kit. I am truly baffled.

I suspect it is for people that can't operate a pressure cooker.
The thing that baffles me is that these kits are out there. There is enough demand for this stupid shit that people are making money by selling grow kits. It truly shows us how lazy some people can be.

Oh, that makes sense. No kidding though, That same bag can probably be boiled safely for a more controlled sterilization... They're specifically marketing it to people that want drugs, but not to learn or think.
Glad OP is going to Mush Cult. They'll set him/her straight!

New wrinkle as I pulled the grab from my crap kit the bottom looks fully colonized (half way up) but in noobville I had already put the casing layer can I flip it to see if it colonizes the top or will the casing mix screw it up. To the impatient my apologies need to reply if someone can help what we all were at one time I would appreciate it.

In my opinion PF tek is too complicated. The only reason to tell people to grow PF is so that The Man thinks it takes an absurd amount of work for even a few doses and doesn't see the need to crack down.
In reality I think bulk is the only way to go.
Pre-sterilized spawn bags to a simple coir/vermiculite/gypsum substrate montotub is the easiest way to go for a beginner. 2 syringes to 6 2lb bags to 4 half sized monoutubs.
This way you can loose a bag or two of spawn and just do 2lbs/half sized tub. Then even if you loose a tub you still end up with 3 half sized tubs and more mushrooms than you can give away.
Super simple, big yields. Plus it minimizes the appearance of running a drug lab. You have very little suspicious looking equipment to keep track of. Basically you have the tubs and that is all. Everything else, syringes and spawn bags can be tossed after use. Even a little left over choir or vermiculite can be put out in a shed or tossed after use.
Don't be a dummy that gets busted with a hundred glass jars, pressure cookers, and a gazillion other instruments of drug manufacture. Instead spend a little bit extra but grow pounds in a set up that is super simple and easy to put up on a shelf.
Imagine dark colored tubs with a clear window in the lid, holes only on the back side. You put them up on a high shelf and they look like any old storage container. Flushes don't come in as perfectly distributed, but to me it seems worth it. No bins full of paraphernalia and suspicious drug manufacturing stuff. Just some regular looking tubs sitting up on a shelf for weeks at a time. Other than that the house is clean, orderly, and not decorated in the drug lab motif.
Edit: Also no still air box. Just wipe everything with alcohol, spray the room with sanitizer and work fast. 15 seconds to split a syringe between three bags. If you loose a spawn bag every now and then it is worth it to not have to keep and store suspicious drug manufacturing equipment.
The point is to minimize the amount of stuff you need, while still turning out more mushrooms that you even know what to do with. Once a few bulk tubs come in the notion of needing to maximize yields makes less and less sense. You always have way more than enough so you can afford to sacrifice a little bit of yield in the name of security.
-------------------- I only use drugs medicinally. If I don't my knees hurt from kneeling down.
