Vision Grow Kits and Me

Vision Grow Kits

This is for newbs, lazy pros and basically anyone who is thinking about going through this guy.

So heres the deal. I decided to try out one of those premade kits with premade jars. On 2/10/08 I purchased the Ultra Kit with 12 jars. On the 15th I bought another 6 jars. Being a lazy guy I thought; why bother getting my TIT all separate? Ill just get it all plus jars, one stop shop right? WRONG. It is now the 19th day after purchase. NOTHING. After sending repeated emails asking what the hold up was i finally got one back.
"Death in the family."
OK I understand...I am patient. I then asked since it was 11 days later and it still hadnt even shipped, if he could just put all 2 of my orders in one box and put the extra $ into expediting the shipping.
NO RESPONSE
He then sends the Ultra kit via FedEx, then sends the other via the post office.
I gave him $35 to ship 15 pounds of goods. BULLSHIT
Mean while people who have ordered the same shit up to a week after me are getting their shit.(spoke to them)
Death in the family my fucking ass. I still havent even received anything.
This post is not just an attempt to say how shitty the communication or shipping of the product was/is. Or how badly this guy sucks at lying. This post started in my head about how well the product would work because I had seen other people looking for info on it. AND I WILL STICK TO THAT. as soon as I get it. If I get it...so check this post for day by day analysis on how badly or well this product works. It will be filled with the exact tek I use as well as pics and explanations of functionality. BY GOD...THIS PRODUCT WILL BE REVIEWED.

The kit arrived thankfully in one piece. It has been going through dry run testing to reach optimum levels. So far what I cant tell for sure is that in order for the temp in the incubation tub to keep itself at 85.5 degrees, the water in the tank tub has to be at 92.5 degrees. This may be different dependant on how much water goes into it.
The heater is not the greatest but trial and error will help in solving the temp puzzle.
The jars 18 of them intact and double foiled without tape over the holes. Inoculating tonight if all goes as planned. I will be using Hawkeyes Koh Samui SS and the so-called hybrid Z-strain. Pics tomorrow.

Well its seems that all it took to get this guys attention was 2 back to back negative feedbacks one with instruction to come see this post and one about how much the buy sucked. He sent me 2 emails right away one furthur apologizing and the other asking : "hey if we refund half the shipping, would you remove the negative feedbacks?"
Funny how fast people react when something potentially negative to business is seen. I tried to get a hold of this guy like 10 times before all this...no response, now...instant. Anywho pics will posted soon.

I have also ordered from them recently and have not received my kit yet. Although I did get an fedex#..

My ex-boyfriend ordered one like a year ago and got it much faster then now, and it worked fine, even though i could have gone to the store and bought most of the stuff cheaper, but don't have the time with school and work to find everything, plus I need to buy a pressure cooker whcih i dont have

I did get an email about about a death in the family and trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, but i will post once i get it too. good luck

If you have time to inoculate jars, set up the FC, pick shrooms, yada yada yada, then I don't see why you wouldn't have time to run to walmart and buy perlite, jars, a rubbermaid container, verm and brown rice. You don't need a PC for the PF tek.

Ok,
Got my Kit today. I ordered the Ultra 6 jar Grow kit from Ebay. The box was dented, but I took everything out and it seems fine. I just filled the water and adjusted the heater, which is a pain in the butt, this heater that came with it is tough to get the settings right, but it seems to be working fine.

All in all It took about 12 days to my door, kinda long shipping but I'm happy. Like I said this was easier than running around to 5 different stores trying to peice this together myself.

I downloaded the directions and read through them, this seems pretty easy. The jars are brown and dont really smell like anything, i thought they would smell.

I guess I am confused on how to inject them so i dont contaminate them. The directions say use the "oven door" method where you put the jars in the oven or build a "glove box" is this really neccessary???? Cant i just spray lysol in a bathroom and inject?? Thats what my boyfriend did before.. any suggestions?

yeah the hearter is a pain but i have the solution. I checked it this morning, inner tub is still 85 degrees, however the water temp has dropped to 92...found the happy medium. as far as inoculation goes, anywhere that has little to no air movement will do. the bathroom is nice as long as fans are off. Also bathrooms tend to be dirty places. I'll post a pic of my glove box that i made out of:
a cardboard box
duct tape
4" male pvc pipe
plastic wrap
5$

Death in the family is probably the most overused eBay lie to buy more time and/or rip people off.

Alright, all good I think. I got the temp figured out, thanks for the help! My water temp was only 93, and the smaller tub was 82, and its stable now, so im not touching it.

I used their "oven technique" becuase it seemed the easiest.. (your glove box is nice) Im not that skilled :wink:

Now Its just a waiting game.. keep me updated on yours..

The oven tek is pure garbage. If they recommended it, I would seriously question their myco knowledge. You don't need a glovebox or flow hood to inoculate PF jars. Those items are what you should use when doing agar work, grain transfers or anything else where you are exposing a sterile substrate to open air.

I bought the 6 jar ultra kit also. I received mine in about 7 days. I set up the incubator on Feb 4th and inoculated the jars in open air (obviously not recommended)2 days later. Luckily for me only 2 got contaminated, but they were inoculated with a different syringe bought from a different store (thinking that may have been the cause). So far the other four jars are looking good. Probably about 98-99% no contams. I ended up buying another tupperware container with a clear lid to use a fruiting chamber. Setup will be shotgun style. I also bought some more perlite because one gallon size bag didn't seem like enough. I let you know how the rest goes with the kit.

The info VGK sends with its kit a just a carbon copy of one the teks listed in here. Its literally the same thing just copied and pasted. I dont think its that they really think that its a good idea, I think he just doesnt care.

Off topic. If you deal with non-sponsors you take a real risk of getting screwed. There's a reason they're not sponsors here.
