Our MycoPots³ Grow Kits are perfect for beginner mushroom growers. Fast colonisation times and 3 MycoPots equals 3 times the success rate!

PF-Tek is a classic growing technique born in the early 1990's - now modernised by us with gypsum and coffee for that extra nutrient kick.

PF-Tek MycoPots³ Grow Kit

Inoculation

  1. Give the bag a quick clean with the included wipe
  2. Slide the first MycoPot out to reveal its injection port
  3. Inject 1ml of a gourmet spore / culture syringe deep into the injection port
  4. Repeat with the remaining MycoPots
  5. Keep the bag (it could be useful) and leave the MycoPots 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 MycoPots 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 to first time growers who want fast flushes. If you want bigger results, check our XL grow kits.
  • Can take 2-4 weeks at optimum conditions (but can sometimes take longer) to fully colonise at 23C (give or take a couple of degrees).
  • Some wood-loving species may not fruit on this substrate, but Oyster will.
