Gro Magik Grow Kit

Important: Put the substrate in a cool dark spot until ready to mix!!! Use within 10 months.

Step 1:
Take your syringe filled with spore/LC solution (INCLUDED ) and wipe with one of the added alcohol pads, let dry. While the syringe is drying take another alcohol pad and wipe the injection port on both of your grain bags( the gray piece), take your syringe and shake it to mix up solution then puncture the port releasing 5ml of the solution into the sterilized grain bag. Repeat this step with the second grain bag.

TIP: Shake the grain bag after injecting to spread the spore/LC solution around.

Step 2:
Now find a nice dark warm spot like a cabinet above a fridge to store your two grain bags. After 7-15 days (days may vary) your bags should have turned mostly white.

TIP: To speed things up you could give your jars/bags another shake once they have turned 50% white. It helps to spread the now germinated mycelium around.

Step 3:
At this point take your Gro Magik monotub base and lid and give them both a good cleaning. The key is to make everything as clean as you can. You could use an antibacterial wipe (NOT INCLUDED) to wipe out for extra piece of mind or spray with isopropyl alcohol.

Step 4:
Now take the liner that came with the kit and place inside the monotub chamber. The key is to black out any light getting to the spawn/substrate mixture. Place the clean lid on until you're ready to mix. Keep the liner below the FAE holes.

Step 5:
Take your now fully colonized spawn grain bags and shake them trying to break up the grain as much as possible, don't worry you can't shake them up too much! Once you have both bags broken up, add one bag of colonized grain to each Denver Dirt bag. Now close the Denver Dirt bags and mix together as best as possible ( kind of like shake and bake!) Before adding the mixture to your monotub base, make sure your air vents on the monotub lid are closed. Now take that mixture and add it to your CLEAN monotub base and secure the lid on top with the two locking handles.

Step 6:
Wash your hands with antibacterial soap then place your gloves on, wipe hands with one of the added Alcohol wipes. Lift the lid and spread your mixture as evenly as possible with your hands, trying to be as neat as possible while keeping it nice and even. Once mixed, close the lid and place in a nice warm (70 - 80 degrees) and dark spot for 5-10 days. Try your best to AVOID peaking! That means NO lifting the lid! After 5-10 days (days may vary) your tank should be 80%-100% white. It's time to Fruit! (Sometimes it takes a few days longer so please be patient, you will be rewarded kindly)

Step 7:
To introduce fruiting conditions you will need 12 hours on and 12 hours off daily of any indoor artificial lighting or INDIRECT sunlight. Also, you will need to turn the air vents to open, don’t worry the filter patches will clean the air as it comes into the monotub. The key is to leave it alone and let the mycelium create its own environment for your primordia to start pinning or growing baby mushrooms!

TIP: Clean spray bottle well and fill with cool water.

Step 8:
After 7-20 days of patience you’ll see baby mushrooms (Pins) appear! As soon as your mushrooms mature pick them as needed ( you can harvest early bloomers ). Only mist if your walls stay dry over 24hrs. You may not need to mist the whole 1st flush!

Step 9:
Your mushrooms are ready to pick after the veil connecting the stem to the cap has just broken or when you start to see the gills. Every mushroom is different and will mature at different rates. Should take around 10-20 days.

TIP: Pick before spores drop for best results and flavor!

Step 10:
To pick, grab the stem of your mushroom and turn gently until you feel a little break, avoiding pulling up any substrate with it. Now eat right away or dry the product for later use! After all the mushrooms have been picked, replace the lid and set aside.

TIP: Don’t throw away just yet, you can start all over and grow another few flushes of mushrooms!

Step 11:
Fill the spray bottle with cold TAP WATER and mist heavily. Depending on how much moisture is in the tub you could be spraying an ounce to 4 ounces of water.

Step 12:
Repeat this rehydration and flushing process as many times until no more mushrooms have grown or you see other types of mold other than the normal white type growing on your substrate! Stay in fruiting conditions the entire time.

Step 13:
Enjoy the splendors of your harvest! Whether it be in a great meal or to help you feel better, fungus can be used in so many different ways!
