How do I store McKennaii Magic Mushrooms Grow Kit XL GetMagic?

Do not store your grow kit longer than 2–3 weeks

We recommend starting your mushroom grow kit right away and beginning the growing process. If you decide to grow later, do not store your grow kit longer than 2–3 weeks after the production date.

Store in a cool place

Always keep the mushroom growing kit in the fridge (2°C to 4°C). The manufacture date and the two digits of the week number are printed on the cardboard box.

Avoid contamination

Make sure your refrigerator is clean and clear of bacteria, yeasts, and other contaminants. To be safe, place the culture kit in a clean plastic bag and carefully seal it.

Instructions

1. Wash your hands thoroughly, and clean the outside of the grow kit with a dry cloth. Remove the lid and save it for step 2
2. Fill the growkit to the edge with lukewarm water (20°C), put the lid back on the growkit, and let it soak for 5 minutes.
   
   Important: never soak the growkit for more than 1 hour!
3. Remove the lid from the grow kit and drain the water well. Let the growkit drain for 10 seconds.
4. Place the growkit in the growbag and fill the growbag with a cup (200–250 ml) of lukewarm water (20°C). Then fold the top of the bag and close it with 2 paperclips.
5. Place the growkit in a place with an average room temperature of 20–25 °C. Make sure that the growkit is not in direct sunlight, not under a lamp, and not near a radiator/heat source.
   Important: The bag must remain closed until the first pinheads form. Until then, the CO2 content and humidity inside the bag should be as high as possible.
6. When the first pinheads* are visible, let some fresh air into the growbag on a daily basis (for a few minutes) and then moisten the growkit with a misting bottle.
   Pinheads are the first visible forms of tiny mushroom caps. It can take 10 to 20 days for the first pinheads to be visible.
7. The mushrooms can be harvested just before the membranes on the bottom of the cap open up. While harvesting, gently grasp the stem and turn it left/right. When the mushroom becomes loose, pull it out as carefully as possible.
   Important: The mushroom must be completely removed so that there is room for a new one.
8. Congratulations! The harvest is complete. It is now possible to grow a new flush of mushrooms by repeating steps 1 to 7 again.

Read the following do’s and don’ts for successful growth.

Despite the fact that mushroom grow kits are simple to use and relatively foolproof, we have summarized the most significant elements for you. Temperature, light, humidity, the first mushrooms, and the growth cycle are only a few examples.

Temperature

The ideal temperature for mushroom growth is 24°C. The temperature should not drop below 20°C or increase above 29°C. You can use a thermo-heating mat to maintain the temperature from dropping below 20 degrees Celsius. A thermomat is essential in the winter and in colder climates around the world.

Light

The mycelium in the magic mushroom kit only requires light to ‘understand’ that it has reached the surface. Only then will mushrooms sprout. A few hours of fluorescent, artificial, or indirect sunshine per day is sufficient. Because direct sunlight destroys mycelium, keep the sun away from the grow kit.

Humidity

Misting starts on the day the first pins appear. To open the grow bag, first remove the paperclip. Spray once against each side of the bag rather than directly onto the cake. So, you mist four times per day. Misting also allows new oxygen to enter the bag. After misting, quickly close the bag with a paperclip.

Frequent air exchange (FAE)

Keep the grow bag tight until the first pins appear; CO2 levels should be as high as possible to stimulate pinning. After the pinning step, you can open the bag 1-2 times per day to allow fresh air to enter. Open and seal the bag, pushing out the air and letting in some fresh air.

The first shrooms!

If the growing conditions are excellent, the first small mushrooms (pins) should appear within 10 to 20 days. The strain also has an impact on this. Some Cubensis strains mature more slowly than others. It may take another week for it to mature. A whole development cycle can take up to 4–5 weeks.

Flushes

The mushrooms form clusters. A flush is a form of growth similar to this. A kit can give multiple flushes. The initial two flushes are the most critical. More flushes will occur, each smaller than the last.

Picking and Harvesting

Pick mushrooms when the veil between the hat and the stem is about to tear or has recently torn. If you wait too long, the mushrooms will release their spores. Pick only the ripe mushrooms and leave the rest to grow. The alternative is to remove all of the mushrooms and start a new flush. How to Select Mushrooms

• Use surgical gloves or disinfect your hands, wrists and arms. 
• Remove the mushrooms from the cake by taking hold of the base of the mushroom between the 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 thrive where there is enough light and little penetrating resistance. Because the sun shines on the sides of the cake, mushrooms may grow there as well. You have several options:

• Darken the sides of the kit by putting it in the cardboard box.
• Spray the top soil a bit to stimulate more growth on the top
• Do nothing and let them grow

Soaking

After all the mushrooms are harvested, you prepare the kit for the next flush. Disinfect your hands or use gloves; take the grow box out of the grow bag.

• Fill the container with lukewarm water (20°C)
• Take the lid off and use it to close the container.
• Let it soak for 5–20 minutes.
• Remove the lid and drain the water
• Place the growkit in the growbag and fill the growbag with a cup (200–250 ml) of lukewarm water (20°C)

This is referred to as the soaking process. The cake will now absorb water, making it ready for the next flush. You can hang the grow bag with micronfilter upside down to dry while it soaks. After each flush, many growers like to use new and unused grow bags.

Next Flush

To proceed, repeat steps 2 through 7 as you did when you originally started the process. A new flush will occur a few days later. A grow kit can provide at least two flushes. The initial flush is frequently the largest.

The End

After the second flush, if no more mushrooms appear in your grow kit for at least 5–6 weeks or if the grow kit turns green, red, grey, or yellow, it can be thrown.The color shift indicates that the grow kit has been infected with a different fungus or bacteria. The mushroom grow kit will no longer produce mushrooms and should be dumped in the garbage or yard.

Spores

When you pick the mushrooms too late, they will release their spores. The spores cause the cake and mushrooms to turn black/purple. This isn’t a major deal; it just doesn’t look very good. When mushrooms release spores, they begin to decay, and the active compounds degrade. Mushroom potency will be lowered.
