I will be making my own jars in the future, but I had gotten so excited, I ordered spores and sterilized jars before I was more educated by this website. But the jars are colonizing...quarter and dime sized mycelium at inoc points.
After watching the starter videos I watched, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get the jars contam-free if I made them myself. So my case isnt a mistake yet, but we'll see if all my jars go bad. After this initial experiment, I should be able to make my own jars. I do have a nice fruiting chamber with perlite.

After reading the plethora of information on this website, I was able to find everything I needed for a first successful grow in my basement. The joy of benefiting from many, many mistakes and learning experiences from the people in this community.......Priceless Oh yea I had to buy (1) syringe Thanks Guys!!!

I bought a "Deluxe Grow Kit" and regret it. It was basically a half assed version of a PMP in an opaque tub. You stuck a battery powered LED to the underside of the lid. The presterilized jars I got were the wrong size. They never fully colonized, either to compact or contaminated. $150 wasted

Out-grow.com is the place to get great products for noobs with no EXPERIENCE! Incognito rye berry bags are a good way to go for someone trying to stay on the low! self healing inoc. ports/micro patch and great products overall and very cheap(compared to a grow kit)!!!! no problems with them at all ever! they have many products for that experienced edible mushroom grower as well! Everything one may need! The owner is a great guy and will help with any type of question or problem you may have!

Actually getting all you rmoney back and learning to do things the right way sounds like the best case scenario. You lucked out
I was speaking for the kits themselves, 100% failure for both of them was the worst that could happen. The fact that I managed to get my money back and make something from the spawn, had little to do with the kits helping me. The instructions were some of the worst of all time. I did learn a lot though so I guess the kits kind of led me down the road to success. I see what your saying.
I've tried this exact kit from the same supplier, even though you didn't mention them I'm 99% sure I know ;p My experience was exactly the same! Although I wasn't so lucky to get my money back, although I didn't try. These instructions are terrible. But we both learned the same lesson.

I also hate the whole mushbox/mycodome/spores101 complex of jerks. I was dumb enough to fall for it after doing all this research (without realizing I was looking at threads over a decade old). I figured being they used to sponsor, they were probably legit. Though I lost a total of maybe $180 with everything, the lesson I learned was priceless. I had 0% success from their kit. The best they'd do was offer a 'in-store credit'. Like I was going to order more contaminated jars or syringes from those fools. In my case, it was because I'd tried bulk about 12 years ago and failed miserably that I fell for the tempting ease of a kit.

Yep them fags got a great looking slick site and some heavy marketing that makes them look shiny and legit. Lots of people fell for their shit. I ordered spores when I was a noob, before I knew better. Got me some oysters

Sure wish I'd known about The Shroomery. Tried in the past, 3 times, with syringe, pasteurization, waiting, getting some buds but not having the proper info about what to do next, so ended in failure. Figured I'd buy a damned "fool-proof," highly-rated (on Google) kit, not out of laziness. Would never have bought if I'd known to look for this site.
Got from www.magicmushroomkit.ca
Sterilized straw, mixed in mycelium, bagged & in box in the dark for 12 days till straw was totally white, then sterilized soil & distilled water, added "casing starter," covered straw with soil, covered whole thing with plastic hood & left in dark for 5 days. Then, 12 hours of light. Light to be 25W max & at least 1 metre from box. Also, emphasized that temp must be between 26 & 28 C, with no fluctuations. Spray soil with distilled water until dewy every day, or every 1-3 days. Supposed to see pins within a month, fruiting within another month. Can re-grow by adding more water for second flush.
A little more than a week after adding soil, started seeing green mold on top of soil. Removed, using sterile technique, along with a lot of soil. Today seeing more green. Figure the thing's garbage. Apparently they'll replace it if I pay the $25 shipping. But why pay to expect a different result after going through the laborious instructions to prepare another batch? Already spent $100 plus $30 for a space heater. It's tempting, though. "Spent $500 to get the old clunker on the road & it didn't work, but for another $100 it might be road-worthy..." Yeah, I know... dumb.
I don't even know how it's supposed to work -- plastic hood completely sealed the thing -- no air holes. Supposed to not let the soil dry out -- water every day or very 1-3 days. But even by day 3 the soil was still moist, because there's no place for the water to evaporate to. It only got air when I opened it to check on it. No wonder I got mold!
Now I need to figure out the best noob technique using this site.

So here we go...
I bought a grow kit, harvestet 50g wet (about 5g dry), the thing contaminated (yellow gooey stuff, trich of some sort prolly). So i bought another kit.. Tadaa the noob in action, whilst wating for the second grow kit i stumbled over this site <3 MUCH love at you SBJ for your bulk tek, i went with CVG and mixed 1:2, i got pretty far, but ended up over misting which set back the MYC, and had too much FAE for repinning. It’s still in there giving it a final chance with all holes taped and lid lose for GE. BUT in the meanwhile i’ve ordered a Syringe from a trusted company. I went with your awsome and straight forward Rye berries tek, made a SAB, bought another Monotub, knocked up 10x1 Liter Jars. Waiting for colonization. Planning on taking a sporeprint or two, and moving on to Agar. Spore Kits SUCK, damnit i am sad that i didn’t discover this site 1st. I just wanted shrooms in my belly, and for more than 1 trip. I really hope that i get to a pinning/harvest stage this time. Again much love SBJ for your writeups. Easy as fuck to follow. I’ll post pics if i ever get to a harvest, and credit you for sure
