Microppose Mark 1 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 your grain bag( the gray piece), take your syringe and shake it to mix up solution then puncture the port releasing the solution onto the sterilized spawn/grain. We recommend at least 5-10ml of solution depending on spawn size.

TIP: Shake the myco 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 grain bag. After 7-15 days (days may vary) your bags should have turned completely white.

TIP: To speed things up you could give your bags a break and shake once they have turned 30% - 50% white. It helps to spread the now germinated mycelium around.

Step 3
At this point take your tank & lid and give them both a good rinse. 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.

Step 4
Now spray each plug and put each plug in the 4 FAE holes on the lid of the monotub. Spray the lid and bottom of the monotub with isopropyl alcohol and place the lid on top of the base.

Step 5
Take your now fully colonized spawn grain bag, break and shake them trying to break up the grain as much as possible without opening the bag, don't worry you can't shake them up too much! Once you have broken up your spawn add it to your Denver Dirt bag. Now close the Denver Dirt bag with your spawn and mix together as best as possible ( kind of like shake and bake!) Now take that mixture and add it to your CLEAN mono tub and close your lid.

Step 6
Move/slide the monotub with the mixture inside back and forth to level out the mixture inside the tub. Once mixed and leveled, place the monotub in a nice warm (70 - 80 degrees) and complete dark 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.

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. Now remove the non breathable plugs and replace with your added filter patches (4 filter patches).

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

Step 8
After 7-20 days 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.

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!

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!
