Title: Mushroom Grow Kits
Post by: mj154 on April 13, 2012, 01:26 am
Hi all,

Recently, domestic sources of shrooms on SR have dried up, and I've always been a do-it-yourselfer, so I thought I'd try my hand at growing my own. I'm just looking to get my feet wet, and I had my eye on the "Mini Mushroom Grow kit 'Ready to Grow'" (http://azarius.net/smartshop/magic-mushrooms/grow-kits/). Unfortunately, they remove the item from my cart due to their claims that it is illegal in my country. Now, I'm pretty sure that mushroom spores are perfectly legal here, but I'm sure Azarius has their reasons for not shipping to my country.

A few questions:
1) Any thoughts on these 'Ready To Grow' kits? For $25 the yield is supposedly 200-300 grams, so probably about an oz when it's all dried up. That seems like a bargain! I've looked into PF Tek but it seems like a lot of work compared to just add water. I'm not looking for enough weight to traffic, just enough for personal use between a couple of close friends, so an oz of dried should be loads.

2) Question 1 aside, am I the only one on SR who would like one of these? Also, is there any vendor willing to supply these?

3) What happened to all the good Canadian/American shrooms that were floating around just a few weeks ago? Is it likely that these will reappear in the coming months?

Yours truly,
mj

I would assume they all sold out. Also I'm not QUITE ready with MY harvest yet. Rocker and Galindoi both have listings up (and fine reps), do they not ship to your country?

 I would suggest you  PM Mr. Fungi   ( http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/75a00e9c19  ) who is a vendor of things mycological on S.R. I have talked to him a bit and he seems like a nice knowledgeable guy. I know he does various things as far as vending grow gear (spores, possibly some grain stuff etc.) so chances are good he could hook you up with something (dunno if it would be $25 though lol).

 Alternately you can go the PF Tek route. Once I get my feet wet vending my whole dried product I will probably add a liquid culture listing. Liquid culture can be easily used with PF Tek jars. It is a bomb method.. much faster than spore solution.

 If I were you though.. go with PF Tek and start learning. I will be happy to give you any pointers.. and of course you can go to the Shroomery forums and their IRC ( #cultivation is an AWESOME resource).

 LEARN TO GROW YOUR OWN!! SEIZE THE MEANS OF (MUSHROOM) PRODUCTION!!!
