Hey guys,I am new here.I am realy thinking about getting the new ez-grow mushroom kit from homestead book company,it's the new kit with only two steps and sounds easy as hell.Has anyone had one of these new kits,if so how did it work? I know it isn't the cheapest kit out there but it is, I am guesing the best and easiest to use for beginers,it sounds idiot proof.Just wondering how good it is,because I want easy to grow shrooms! Thanks alot!

Kits are a huge waist of money in my opinion. You can get all the supplies manually for 1/4 the price....
I wouldnt get it but thats just me! Fd

Actually the homestead kit is one of the better kits out there.
But you can get everything yourself much cheaper.....and you might have better luck doing the PF tek your first time.

Having done both the HS EZ-rip-off kit and the one from www.sjamaan.com, I must disagree.
Results:
HS - $108 - 42 days - Yeild: 31 grams dried
SJ - $64 - 29 days - Yeild: 40 grams dried

TM, when are you going to understand the distinction? That is not a kit! It's colonized substrate that's ready to fruit with no effort from you. It's also highly illegal in the USA and most other countries.

Exactly mickey!!!
One is a kit......the other is a fully colonized medium.
The kit is legal.......the casing TM got wasn't and he was lucky it wasn't taken by customs.

First of all, I believe that cultivation is highly illegal no mater how you go about it.
Secondly, I believe that 40oztofreedom is looking for an inexpensive, extremely easy way to grow some shrooms to trip off of in a very short period of time (which is why I bought the kits while my other projects are taking their time).
Third, I do know the distinction between receiving mycelium on rye berries under dry verm and receiving spores on a cotton swab supended over rye berries, yet the result is basically the same. Illeagal mushroom growing.
One is very fast and cheap and fruitful, the other is a rip-off, slow and not as fruitful.
Even though one is illegal to posess the day it arrives, the other is illegal to posses 4 days after it arrives.

In reply to:

The only thing that matters is the fact that if the authorities decide to look at your "kit", you will either lose it, or you will go to jail. Period. If the authorities decide to look at the Homestead kit, there isn't a damned thing they can do about it. Understand what we're saying here TM?

Yes, always did. It's up to each individual to decide the risks they are willing to take. The fact that I was successful in receiving this "kit" TWICE shows that "the authorities" have no concern with it.

No, it shows that you were VERY lucky. I've seen pictures of friend's envelopes that had U.S. Customs stickers on them due to being opened and searched. Ordering illegal packages (boxes) from the Netherlands is very risk. Much riskier than you're willing to admit.

My assumption is that in the case of this particular box, they have searched the very same boxes in the past, but were unable to determine beyond any doubt that the "spawn" was of an illegal type, and therefore don't bother with them anymore.
I think I'll jump over there and order a third one just for kicks.

Why not just grow your own? I can beat those results for much less money and virtually no risk.

How is it any different from looking at even better homegrown flushes? I would prefer not ordering a kit if I had the skills to beat it. Why add the extra risk to the equation?

You want honesty?
When I gain enough skill and experience to get that kind of results from my home grown casings, I will no longer need to have the expensive gratification.
Honest enough for you, mickey?

I just didn't want to see people taking the risk when they're currently growing. That's all. I won't bug you about it anymore.. Thanks for the compliment..

I must admit that before I learned how to grow I bought the kit from Sjamaan. At the time i got three kits for $120 on special, with total yeilds (4 plus flushes) of about 500 wet grams. I would never do it again because i get much more fun out of doing the work myself but it served its purpose at the time.

That's a great deal! I assume you mean 500 per tub.
After the 4th flush of my first one, I chopped the cake and spawned a couple of trays of poo with it. They're colonizing now.

Homestead sells a great product . I have not used the EZ grow kit , but was given a classic kit , I also have an old kit (15yrs old ) I have been using the old supplies (with exception of new spores ) and experimenting . It is turning out much faster than anticipated . As I said they sell a great product and garantee it , would reccomend it if you are lazy .
I agree with Mickey though,...... you could by the stuff yourself for at leat 30% less, but a lot more time finding and deciding what to get is spent .
Mickey .......... In regards to the illegality of it ........ I think they sell it to you seperated , and then you mix together . So it is not premade "substrate" with mycelium growing thru out .
They also have a creative way of shipping for descreteness , mine came in a box marked "PARISHABLE " , and was a box for a seafood suppliy wherehouse . If you chose to buy from them , I personally think for the money , the classic with a cultivators book is the way to go , you get alot more out of it , and learn shitloads more ! Ignore what they say (homestead).............it took 5 weeks for my stuff to come , and person who gave to me used credit card !!!!!!!!!!! Good luck
-------------------- Any information I give is not intended to aide you in the production of potentialy illegal substances !None of my exp comes from growing illegal varities , so take it as you will .

Yes, this is 100% true for the Homestead family of kits. I was talking about the fully colonized trays available from the Netherlands and the UK.

I think the main point about the homestead kit (which I have used with great success but Im not that rich) is that it is guaranteed. If you get contams they send you a new kit no questions asked, except for the questions you ask their "support staff"about "cultivation questions". So although it is way expensive (for 108$ i can do the PF tek or rye like 25 times or something... I dunno I never really added it up cause I just seem to have all the ingredients on hand now) but if you're just looking for something easy and want to party it's a good deal. Because honestly c'mon people mycology and home cultivation is a hobby someone has to be pretty passionate about in order to get really good. If you aren't trying to understand the science or the life-cycle of the mushroom is can be alot more trouble than its worth, no matter how much you love the end product.

Ripple, You paid 120 bucks on special for your shroom kits? That's a rip off!!! I checked out a head shop where I live and they're selling them for like 90 bucks for 3!!!!! And that's just regular price.

He was talking about paying that price for trays which were already fully colonized and ready to fruit out of the box.
