Newbie bought a Growkit
    #6032182 - 09/05/06 04:39 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

Hello all. this is my first post on the Shroomery, although i am not entirely new to the community!

After some research ive decided on giving the PF Tek a go.
but in the mean time I bought a pre-inoculated growkit from a website for €37[£25]

Well the kit arrived on friday [1st september]
I filled the plastic tub with water (tub containing mycelium grain & vermiculite, and an uneven layer of perlite that I later smoothed out lightly over the surface with a clean spoon) and replaced lid.

12 hours later, I pour off as much of the water as possible, transfered into the mycobag with filter. and clipped the top shut with two paperclips.

Its been sitting on a shelf above my 37" monitor for 5 days now.
temperature is around 20C. [recommended 20C-25C]

There isnt much activity at this time apart from a light fuzz in some areas, on the surface.

I know nobody gives a shit.. but this is my first grow and i'd like to post about it :smile:





Milkout! :crazy2:

9th day. I have found at least 5 different pin mushrooms in various places, around 2mm in size.

Hope everything goes well for you,it would be interesting to know how you get on with this kit.

Previously you had to go through the whole process of inoculating a pre-sterised bag with spores etc which could take ages and these kits seem to cut out much of time element of that.

I know there seems to be a certain snobbishness from the old timers about kits and I guess most people on here go the total DIY route.


But INMO if it gets you some shrooms it can only be a good thing and it doesn't suti everyone to go through the sterilising inoculatiohn route.

As I say let us know how you get on ..best of luck

To keep the mushrooms from growing in all directions, and to give it a bit more heat, I have put it in an open top plastic drinks keg, and taped around plastic wrap using a medical filter tape.
the idea being to stop light comming in at any angle other than above.



orissacube, thanks alot. thats one of the reasons i bought the kit in the first place, theres no injecting.. its almost foolproof. just wanted to see if it was as easy as advertised, so far it is.

this isnt my primary project, i am currently gathering materials and preparing for a BRF cake grow. which i hope to start off by using the spores from a mushroom on the first flush of this kit.

Looks like it's going to work out for you. I think kits are an excellent way to get your feet wet for the first time.

Congratulations Milkshake! You're official now!
I think grow kits are cool. I didn't have one the first time I gave cultivation a go, but I think its probably one of the best ways to start if you are learning by yourself. My first try was using the PF tek and worked perfectly, but just the same, I spent AGES worrying over my jars instead of going to class... At anyrate, CONGRATS AND WELCOME TO THE GROW WORLD :smile:
