How to use a Magic Mushroom Grow Kit


How to use a grow kit, how to maximize yields and how many flushes (= harvests of mushrooms) you can expect.

Good hygiene is the basis for good yields, that is why the growbox should always be opened in a clean environment. The room must not be dusty. If possible, sterilize the air around the grow kit with a flame (use a gas flame, because they do not produce soot particles) before opening it.

1. Wash your hands thoroughly and clean the grow kit on the outside with a wet piece of cloth.

2. Remove the lid from the box.

3. Take a clean fork (not included, best sterilized/disinfected) and punch holes in the substrate. Divide the holes equally (6 to 8 rows of holes are enough) over the grow box. This makes it easier for the substrate to absorb water.

4. Fill the growbox with tepid water and put the lid back on the box. Leave the box to soak for 24 hours.

5. The next day, remove the lid from the box (don not throw it away) and pour out the water.

6a. Add 0,5 liters (2 cups) of tepid water to the growing bag (included).

6b. Place the growbox in the growing bag. Close the growing bag by folding the top and securing it with two paperclips (included).

7. Place the growing bag in a warm place (20-25°C) and make sure there is enough daylight. Do not place the growing bag in direct sunlight and do not place the growing bag on a heating device. Make sure the temperature does not exceed 35°Celsius; otherwise the mushrooms may not survive!!

8. Spray water daily (by using a plant water sprayer). After harvesting you should do this as well.

9. After about 10 to 12 days the first mushrooms appear.

10. Just before the mushrooms start to open, gently hold them at the root and delicately twist and lift them to pull the mushroom out. If you do this correctly, it is possible for new mushrooms to grow.

The first wave is the most abundant wave, but if the box has been handled correctly, up to 4 different flushes are possible.

Hi, i have mi growkit at least 4weeks and i only see some white stuff why doesnt grow any mushrooms? Have i done anything wrong? Please help me.

@xurasta The white stuff is mycel tissue, it is normal that it begins covering the whole "cake". The longest duration I´ve so far experienced had been 6 weeks after watering. The mycel was growing and growing, temperature, humidity and everything was perfect, but it is very different when the mushrooms appear. After the first flush, the further ones will come quicker. @deelon Of course the material can be taken out and spreaded into a bigger substrate cake to receive a bigger cake and bigger harvest. But keep in mind, in that state the mushrooms are very fragile to mold, so sterile environment must be present. Also you can grow the mushrooms and take a spore print to continue with own grows. @isiil Are the temperatures ok? Check if the growing mushrooms grow correctly or if they stop growing, remain small and look limp. If so the humidity might be too high or the temperature isn´t ok.
