XL PF-Tek Mushroom Grow Kit

Inoculation

  1. Give the bag a quick clean with the included wipe
  2. Slide the box out to reveal the first two injection ports
  3. Inject 0.5ml-1ml of a gourmet spore / culture syringe deep into each of the ports
  4. Repeat with the remaining injection ports
  5. Discard bag and leave the box alone in a warm place to fully colonise
  6. Follow the rest of the guide until harvest

The white HEPA filters on the lids will filter dust and mould spores and allow clean air exchange. Don't try to remove these! NEVER open the box before full colonisation of mycelium or the kit will be ruined with contamination.

Storage

If you cannot use your grow kit right away, we would advise that you store it in a (clean) fridge for a maximum of 2 weeks. If you can't store it in a fridge, don't leave it for any longer than 1 week. The longer you leave it, the more moisture will be lost from the substrate and if too much moisture is lost, colonisation will just not happen.

Always inoculate your grow kits as soon as you possibly can!

Advice

This grow kit is tailored for larger flush sizes. If you're a beginner, we would recommend any of our MycoPots Grow Kits. Typically takes around 5-8 weeks to fully colonise at 23C (give or take a couple of degrees). Exact times are impossible to say as it's dependant on genetics. Wood-loving species like Shiitake will not fruit on this substrate.
