I have the chance to buy 3 cubensis growboxes for 50% of the normal price, the problem is that they have expired...

I don´t know by how much or anything it´s from the page that sells them usually, are they very sensitive to the date they expire or could this be a good deal?

I'd say go for it. Expiration dates are a fraud.

Grow a plant or something and meditate on that

Grow kits are generally a massive waste of money. You can buy pretty much everything you need except the spores at Walmart or a place like that, and you can get spores from FSRE for the cost of a couple stamps.

Spore prints will stay usable for years if they are stored well. Spore syringes are only viable for a couple months so it's very possible that the expiration dates are actually valid and that you'll be buying useless syringes.


Thats kind of true,the most important thing before the spores is to have a sterilized medium substrate ,and for this you need a pressure cooker that can cost alot of money if you cant find one for cheap.they go for like 200 $ and over.i have found cheap one for like 5 quarts but you couldnt adjust the pressure so i didnt buy it.

mushroom growing is one of the easiest things in the world. once you start growing without any kits, you'll realize what a rip-ff deal it is. Fuck kitsRazz

If you pay over $200 on a PC, then your not growing mushrooms. As you can get a viable 21quart 15psi one for less than $100. You just have to look around. Also, BRF cakes do not need to be PCed... Just steam them for an hour(1/2) or so, put a layer of verm on the bottom, as well as; on the top, as this will help with the excess moisture in the jars. Using kits can be a pain, as they usually give you everything at once, and expect you to do it. Although there are "teks' on the net for using them, you'll find it MUCH simpler to buy: quart jars, a PC, WBS, vermiculite, perlite (not even really needed), a tub (or two), a pan, tin foil, and then purchase your spores.... All that would cost $150~ and you won't need to spend any more, maybe $10-20 here and there... and if your going the BRF way, exchange the quart jars for pints, and WBS for organic brown rice flour.... pretty simple.

As for the topic at hand: No, these things don't expire. I imagine you could mean the "pre-sterilized jars"... well, they ARE best used asap, to prevent contams.... and I've never "waited" with innocing my jars longer than a day or three.... so I can't rightfully comment on this part. Although a simple steam bath/PC will cure that ailment in an hour or two tops. Smile

The price has now ran away so it doesnt feel worth buying 3 for the price of two incase they won´t work...

I understand that these kit´s arent worth the money if you have time and interest to make everything from the ground, but for starters i will buy 1kit and see how it goes, and maybe in the future i might do my own tek.

ps: where i live shrooms are very expensive, the standard price for cubensis is 10euro per gram so getting a good trip you have to spend a fortune.

SHroomtroll, growing shrooms is probably the easiest 'thing' in the world. Go ahead, get a kit and see how you like it. I know a guy who refuses to do anything, he just buys 12 pre-sterilized jars, and then innocs, throws in his IC, and then the FC. He spends $300 or so on these jars, every time.... Just because he doesn't want to do any work Razz Either way you do it, its all easy peasy.

Does anyone know any supplier outside of holland that sells kits? i know some people who has had visits from the police 2-3weeks after they gotten their kits...

ps: The package was opened but left alone so they knew they were gonna groe shrooms and waited untill the "box" became illegal to make the busts.


Edit: Would these boxes work but with another spore syringe? it´s about half the price from the usual kits, and spores are preety cheap.

Wow thanks alot Elru! I will probably take my time with this and try to make a serious stealth terrarium or something...

I make a living building houses so ive been thinking about building a hollow stool with a small terrarium inside and a lid you can remove to work on it.

Since having a shroom factory out in the open is not a option for me.


EDit: How about these bags and/or cans like i said i would like to try 1 or 2 easy grows before trying a full blown grow, also this page seems tto be from the uk.
