Magic Mushroom Grow Kit B+ | psilocybe cubensis grow kit

Psilocybe Cubensis Grow Kit years of planning and testing has resulted in the next generation of Mondo® B+ XL magic mushroom grow kits. The  B+ XL grow kit is now even better than it ever was. Compared to the first generation of Mondo®XL magic mushroom grow kit, the next generation is improved with:

• Larger yields, more mushrooms
• More flushes*
• Better resistance against contaminations
• Different, but easier instructions

*some strains produce more flushes than others. The first three flushes are the largest.

Meet the new standard of easy grow  kits

The Mondo® B+ XL magic mushroom grow kit is slightly different than the grow kits you may have used before. These are mainly ‘under the hood’ differences and are not easily seen.

Just like the previous and other easy mushroom grow kits, you do not need to use additional spores. During the laboratory process, the spores have developed in mycelium inside the substrate (the cake) in the grow box.

How to store the grow  kit correctly

It is recommended to start the cultivation process right away. If you decide to start growing mushroom kit later, you may store the grow kit in the refrigerator (2°C to 8°C) for 2 weeks after productiondate. First, wrap the grow kit in a plastic shopping bag and close it well. Psilocybe Cubensis Grow Kit

Contents

• 1x grow box – This contains substrate with active mycelium (the cake)
• 1x large grow bag – The bag has micron filters to keep contaminants out
• 2x paperclip – For closing the grow bag.

You need

• Misting Bottle  – Misting is needed for the humidity level
• Potable water – For misting and soaking
• Clean environment – Work clean to give other fungi and bacteria (micro organisms) no chance to contaminate.

We recommend to use

• Surgical gloves
• Facemask
• Disinfectant for hands
• Disinfectant for surfaces
• Soaking Bag
• Thermometer
• Thermo mat (when room temperature drops below 18°C)

How to prepare the room and yourself before you begin

Close any open windows. Wind or draft may bring microorganisms that can debase the Mondo® ‘B+’ XL Magic Mushroom develop unit.

When taking out the develop box with the cake from the container box, put it on a cleaned surface. In the event that this surface would not be spotless, miniature life forms may append to the develop box and will prosper inside the Mondo® ‘B+’ XL Magic Mushroom develop pack, and will sully the develop box.

Ensure you work with clean hands and arms. We suggest utilizing careful gloves or a decent disinfectant when taking care of the pack. You should utilize a facemask to abstain from breathing into the develop pack and on the cake.

Starting the process

Fill the case with new, consumable water. Close the develop box well and let is douse for 12 hours.

Following 12 hours, spill the excess of water out of the develop box.

Spot the develop box inside the enormous develop pack. The open finish of the pack should point upwards.

Eliminate the top from the develop box. Wash the cover, and store it in the ziplock sack for sometime in the future. Spot the ziplockbag with the top back in the container box.

Overlay the open finish of enormous develop pack twice; don’t cover the micron channel.

Spot the paperclip on the overlay, so the sack remains shut. Presently the Mondo® ‘B+’ XL Magic Mushroom develop unit is prepared to develop.

Spot the Mondo® ‘B+’ XL Magic Mushroom develop unit inside the container box, on head of the ziplock with cover.

Temperature

The ideal temperature is 24°C. Do not have the temperature drop under 18°C and not exceed 29°C. To keep the temperature from dropping under the 18°C, you can use a thermo mat to maintain the ideal temperature. A thermo mat  is a must-have in the winter or colder regions of the world.

Light

The Mondo® ‘B+’ XL magic mushroom grow kit only needs light for the mycelium to ‘understand’ it has reached the surface. Only then, mushrooms will grow. A few hours of fluorescent/artificial light or indirect sunlight a day is more than enough. Direct sunlight kills the mycelium, so avoid the sun to shine directly on the grow kit.

Water / Misting

The day after you start the process you begin with misting. Open the grow bag by removing the paperclip. Do not spray directly on the cake, but spray one time against every side of the bag. So you mist once a day, four sprays. Misting also vents fresh oxygen inside the bag. Right after misting, close the bag again with the paperclip.

Mushrooms

If the conditions are optimal, you can expect the first small mushrooms (the pins) to appear between 5 and 16 days. This also depends on the strain. Some cubensis strains grow slower than others.

Flushes

The mushrooms come up in groups. This can be a small or large group. That depends on the strain. A growth like this is called a flush. Mushrooms are almost never ripe at the same time. You can get more than one flush out of a kit. The first two flushes are the largest. When more flushes come, they will be smaller than the previous one.

Picking

Mushrooms are ripe and should be picked when the veil between the hat and the stem has just torn. Don’t wait much longer. Use surgical gloves or disinfect your hands, wrists and arms. Pick the mushrooms that are ripe and let the others continue to grow. Remove the mushrooms from the cake by taking hold of the base of the mushroom between thumb and index finger. Rotating your hand clockwise slowly, until the mushroom lets go. Do not pull out the mushrooms. This would risk damaging the mycelium and killing it. When most of the larger mushrooms have been picked, also pick the smaller ones and the pins as well.

Mushrooms that grow from the sides

Mushrooms develop where the light reaches and where there is small infiltrating opposition. Since the cake has light gleaming on the sides, the mushrooms may likewise develop there. It is difficult to counter this and can be permitted. A few producers wrap the sides of the develop confine aluminum foil to keep the sides dim, however this doesn’t generally function admirably.

At the point when mushrooms develop there, they can be picked not long before you splash the unit:

Clean hands! Remove the develop box from the sack and spot it topsy turvy on your other hand. Squirm the plastic box with the goal that the cake will drop out, onto your hand. The plastic box can be put on a disinfectant surface. Presently you have this hand allowed to pick the mushrooms from the sides of the cake. At the point when all mushrooms are picked, you can put the cake back as it seemed to be, in the plastic box and proceed to the splashing cycle.

Soaking

After all the mushrooms have been picked, you prepare the kit for the next flush. Again, with disinfected hands or gloves; take the grow box out of the large grow bag. Fill the box with fresh, potable water. Take the lid out of the ziplock bag and use it to close the grow box. Place the closed grow box in a soaking Bag or use your own clean plastic shopping bag and wrap it around the box. Close it well and place this in a refrigerator (2°C to 8°C) for 12 hours. This is called the soaking process. Water will now soak through the cake, preparing it for the next flush.

During the soaking you can hang the grow bag with micronfilter upside down to dry. Make sure to hang it upside down, so no micro organisms will access the bag. Many growers prefer to use new and unused grow bags after every flush.

After 12 hours take the soaking Bag with the grow box, out from the fridge and unpack it.

Next Flush

To continue, follow the same steps 3 – 7 as before when you started the process for the first time. Several days later, a new flush will appear. You can get at least 2 or 3 flushes out of a Mondo® ‘B+’ XL Magic mushroom grow kit. If you are experienced in cultivating, you can get more flushes out of a kit. Psilocybe Cubensis Grow Kit

The end

When no more mushrooms grow out of a grow kit after the second flush for at least three weeks, or when the Mondo® ‘B+’ XL Magic Mushroom grow kit turns green, red, grey or yellow; the grow kit can be disposed of.  The change in color is a sign that the grow kit is contaminated with another fungus or a bacteria. No more mushrooms will grow out of the Mondo® ‘B+’ XL Magic mushroom grow kit and the grow kit should be thrown away in the garbage outside.

Spores

When you are too late picking the mushrooms, they will drop their spores. The cake and the mushrooms will turn black/purple (some other cubensis strains red/brown) because of the spores. This is not really a problem; it just doesn’t look very pretty. When mushrooms release their spores, they also start to degrade and the active ingredients are breaking down. Mushrooms will lose some of their potency.
