it looks like they are shipping live mycelium, thats illegal. it also looks like all your getting is a little cheap plastic food tray and a clear plastic bag for $45. frankly that kit looks like about $2 worth of stuff

also taken from there page

just my 2c

just stick with the pf tek it will be almost as easy and 1 million times more satisfying

personally IMO, all i will ever need from the sponsers is a syringe. 


I only order bags.... Spores still make me uneasy. I have one print and I plan to use it forever...


LOL...i havent bought a syringe in 3 years :smile: I work w/ the genetics that i have, and trade abit in the marketplace :smile: Spores were never a worry here, i have plenty of good clean friends that are more than willing to accept and not open my mail...by my mail, i mean a piece of mail under a random name...they just cool like that :shrug:


I agree, a good friend sent my well 2 prints. One pan and one cube. I have not touched the pan but the cube print has been turned into 100's of qt's of LC and plenty of mistakes hehe.

everyone still fucks up. dont think that youll get mushrooms without any problems so easily. buy plenty of lysol/alcohol/oust and be clean! thats the biggest tip i can give you.

mycologists have two goals.

1. recreate ideal growing condition.
2. fight off contaminates that want to steal those growing conditions.

I assumed that shipping would not be a problem... That is a good point though

the way it looks as its just a big cake, treat it like one i guess, from what i gathered you just peal the plastic off, dunk it for moisture then put it in the bag and close it, i wonder about how it gets FAE

Here is my problem with growkits and THIS site

you get on this site.. you order a growkit.. by the time it arrives you realize how easy it was to build it and now you have a sub par kit that you don't want to use anymore.

Be a noob here for 2 weeks and then you can build whatever setup you want..

Lots of people have started with kits, and they're a great way to learn the ropes. I'd suggest looking at our vendor page before ordering, and see what they have to offer. While you're growing the kit, you'll have plenty of time to study the boards here and learn what you need to know. Good luck.

Didn't wanted to start another thread,i just got the kit,well the instructions are basically to dunk it in water for 6 hours(should i dunk it in water and put it in the fridge,so it will be cold but above freezing temperature?),drain the water and put it in the bag and close the bag with a paper clip,but what about misting/fanning,and so on?
whats the best way to Handel the cake?

Do a search for "dunk and roll" and then "cold shock" first is a very good idea. Second, not so much for cubes.

i searched it already,it says " Temperature during the dunking should be cold, or as cool as possible and still above freezing.
Time spent dunking should be not less than 6 hours for minimal benefits. 12 hours is about right for dunking in between flushes and at birth but 24 hours is the maximum for full re-hydration of nearly spent cakes. "
so i need to dunk it for 12 hours in fridge?
