How do I store Thai 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 begin 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 store the Thai Magic Mushrooms Grow kit XL GetMagic in the refrigerator (2°C to 4°C). The production date is printed on the cardboard box and includes the two digits of the week number.

Avoid contamination

Make sure your fridge is clean and free of bacteria, yeasts and other sources of contamination. To be safe, pack the culture kit in a clean plastic bag and seal it tightly.

Instructions

1. 1Wash your hands thoroughly and clean the outside of the growkit with a dry cloth. Remove the lid and save it for step 2
2. 2Fill 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. 3Remove the lid from the growkit and drain the water well. Let the growkit drain for 10 seconds.
4. 4Place the growkit in the growbag and fill the growbag with a cup (200-250ml) of lukewarm water (20°C). Then fold the top of the bag and close it with 2 paperclips.
5. 5Place the growkit in a place with 20-25°C average room temperature. 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. 6When 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. 7The 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. 8Congratulations, 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 dont’s for a successful grow.

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 optimal temperature for mushroom development is 24°C. The temperature should not go below 20°C and should not rise above 29°C. You can use a Thermo Heatingmat to keep the temperature from going below 20°C. In the winter or colder places of the world, a thermo mat is a must-have.

Light

The magic mushroom 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.

Humidity

Misting begins the day the first pins appear. Remove the paperclip from the grow bag to open it. Spray once against each side of the bag rather than immediately on the cake. So you mist four times a day. Misting also allows fresh oxygen to enter the bag. Close the bag with the paperclip immediately after misting.

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 1st shrooms!

If the growing circumstances are ideal, the first little mushrooms (the pins) should develop between 10 and 20 days. This is also determined by the strain. Some cubensis strains mature at a slower rate than others. It may take another week to reach maturity. A whole growth cycle can last up to 4-5 weeks.

Flushes

The mushrooms appear in clusters. A flush is a type of growth like this. A kit can provide more than one flush. The first two flushes are the most significant. More flushes will follow, each one smaller than the last.

Picking and Harvesting

Pick mushrooms when the veil between the hat and the stem is going to or has just torn. If you wait much longer, the mushrooms will drop their spores. Pick only the ripe mushrooms and leave the others to develop. The alternative is to remove all of the mushrooms and begin 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 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 grow where the light reaches and where there is little penetrating resistance. Because the cake has light shining on the sides, the mushrooms might also grow there. You have a few 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. Disinfected 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 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 (200-250ml) of lukewarm water (20°C)

This is known as the soaking process. Water will now be absorbed by the cake, preparing it for the next flush. You can hang the grow bag with micronfilter upside down to dry while it is soaking. After each flush, many growers like to utilize 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 additional mushrooms grow out of your grow kit for at least 5-6 weeks, or if the grow kit turns green, red, grey, or yellow, the grow kit can be discarded.The color shift indicates that the grow kit has been infected with another fungus or bacteria. The mushroom grow kit will no longer produce mushrooms, and it should be discarded in the garbage or in your yard.

Spores

When you pluck the mushrooms too late, they will drop their spores. Because of the spores, the cake and mushrooms will turn black/purple (some other cubensis strains will turn red/brown). This isn’t a big deal; it just doesn’t look very nice.

When mushrooms release their spores, they begin to deteriorate and the active chemicals disintegrate. Mushrooms’ potency will be reduced.
