ORIGINAL HOMESTEAD KIT DISCOVERY/GROW * 10
    #28355342 - 06/11/23 09:01 AM (1 year, 7 months ago)

I am excited to share this find with you all! My friend found this original Homestead grow kit he bought at a head shop in Connecticut somewhere between 1998 and 2000. He never used it and had it stored in a climate controlled storage locker since then. In my opinion this is a part of mushroom cultivation history and I will be doing my best to preserve everything.

It's also an extremely interesting look at how far we have progressed in the last 2 decades.



This kit includes: x1 Cool box, x1 bag of compost/perlite substrate, x1 bag of peat moss casing mix, x2 glass test tubes with WBS, x1 bag of MEA (clearly expired), x1 scalpel, x1 inoculation loop, x1 stack of rubbing alcohol swabs, x1 sleeve of 20 petri dishes, and last but definitely not least, x2 spore prints (one of them was bought alongside the kit separately). **Not shown is x2 Gerber baby food jars with an expiration date of September 2003 that were empty and I gave them to my roommates for weed storage**





Inside the blue bag of "substrate"


I scanned the kit instructions/order form as well as the card that came with the spore print.






Now for the real interesting part. When this kit was purchased an extra spore print was also purchased. I would assume that these are OG Homestead penis envy genetics but since they are not labeled I'll just have to grow them and find out. If I am able to get these to come back to life I will do a giveaway spores from that grow.





I will keep this thread updated with results on reviving these spores.

I had one of these. Got one small mushroom on the first flush.
It printed though and I ran those genetics for years. Mine definitely were not pe.

I'm confused, is the grain  part supposed to be the test tubes? looks tiny by today's standards not sure how much energy will the myc be able to get from the compost but i highly doubt is anywhere close to calorie dense grains
anyways looking forward to see how it goes :popcorn:

How did I miss this? Canโ€™t wait to see how it works for you. It didnโ€™t work for me when I had one thirty some odd years ago. Good luck!
