This kit give you all the things you need for success. The instructions ( paper and video) are excellent too, and show you how to use the kit properly. Very nice shipping and packaging. Overall, a great value for the money spent.
I recently purchased the ultimate grow kit. Likely due to the cold snap in late February, my aquarium heater arrived cracked. Emily FedEx'd out a new right away (I had a second issue with my thermometer/hygrometer that I am convinced was my fault but they simply replaced it as well and it works fine now). As a first time mushroom farmer, the techniques you learn from Midwest Grow Kits are solid and it has really gotten me reading and thinking about my next project. A little more than 9 days since inoculation, I have substantial white mycellial growth in 9 of 12 jars, and I have a pretty good suspicion of what I did wrong on the other 3 jars. I will definitely be an ongoing customer and had no idea in the midst of the pandemic, how interesting and compelling this would be as a hobby.
If you are thinking about buying this kit, buy it. I would recommend this kit to anyone. Midwest’s support is absolutely amazing. The instructions are perfectly clear and simple. I will definitely be ordering from Midwest again.
As a first time mushroom grower, I really appreciated having this kit with everything you need included and detailed, easy to follow step by step instructions (print & online manuals + videos). Having the jars filled with pre-sterilized substrate is a time saver and reduced my stress about ruining a batch due to contamination. And customer service is excellent. I contacted them with some questions and got a prompt and very helpful reply. Highly recommend this product and company!
The Ultimate Growing Kit is great for newbies that are looking to get into the hobby, without having to do all the leg work. The instructions are simple and east to follow, and so far I’m seeing good results. 11 of the 12 jars are more than half way done with the inoculating phase (lost one due to mold which I assume was my fault for poor inoculation technique), and I’m excited to get the fruiting chamber up and running in a week or so here! I priced out the PF tek options, including buying a pressure cooker to properly sanitize the substrate in the jars, and this is by far a better choice monetarily and logistically for me. The shipping was quick and discrete, and everything was packaged safely and nicely upon opening. If you’re on the fence, stop fretting and just buy it. You won’t be disappointed. Midwest Grow Kits are the real deal - buy with confidence!
