Do I need any special equipment to grow magic mushrooms?

Category: GrowKit

Growing magic mushrooms doesn’t require any specialized equipment. Here is everything you need to get started with our Microdose Bros grow kits. Here’s a breakdown of the equipment and steps you’ll need to follow:

Equipment Needed:

  • Colonized substrate
  • 2 Paper clips
  • Grow bag
  • Eating fork
  • Lighter
  • Cloth soaked in alcohol or hand sanitizer
  • Water
  • Plastic bag
  • Standard-sized box or container for storage

Steps to Follow:

  1. Begin by thoroughly washing your hands, and then use a cloth soaked in alcohol or hand sanitizer to clean the exterior of the grow kit. Set the lid aside for later use.
  2. Take an eating fork and sterilize it by applying a flame from a lighter to the fork’s tips. Ensure it is properly cleaned using 90% rubbing alcohol.
  3. With the grow kit lid open, take the sterilized fork and create four small, gentle holes on each side of the kit, totaling eight holes.
  4. Fill the grow kit with clean water, filling it to the brim. Close the grow kit lid and place it in the refrigerator for a maximum of 12 consecutive hours.
  5. Position the grow kit in an area with an average room temperature of 20-25°C. Ensure it is shielded from direct sunlight, away from lamps, and distant from radiators or heat sources. Keep the bag sealed until the first pinheads appear. During this time, maintain high CO2 levels and humidity inside the bag.
  6. Once removed from the fridge, add 150 mL of room-temperature water to the plastic bag, roughly in the center of the lower half of the bag.
  7. Place the grow kit back inside the plastic bag, ensuring that the bag contains the 150 ML of water. Seal the plastic bag using paper clips.
  8. Store the bag with the grow kit in a dark, enclosed container, such as a standard-sized box. Leave it in darkness until the first pinheads begin to develop, typically taking around 1 week, depending on various factors.
  9. After the pinheads start to emerge, open the bag for the first time to release CO2 and allow fresh oxygen to enter. Use a water mist spray on the interior of the plastic bag to provide adequate moisture on the sides.
  10. Open the bag once daily, spraying a fine mist of water on the sides of the plastic and releasing CO2 to provide your mushrooms with fresh oxygen.

Congratulations! Your harvest is complete. You can now initiate the growth of a new batch of mushrooms by repeating Steps 1 to 7.
