Description

The Simple Mushroom Grow Kit PLUS is a complete beginner setup built around our sterilized ½ pint BRF jars. It includes six ready-to-inoculate jars, a 28-quart monotub that works as both incubator and fruiting chamber, an LED grow light and a digital thermometer/hygrometer — just add a spore syringe or liquid culture.

It teaches the fundamentals — inoculation, colonization and fruiting — using the classic PF Tek jar method, without the extra steps of a bulk grow. When you’re ready for bigger harvests, the same tub and skills carry straight over to bulk monotub growing.

How it works

  1. Store the jars. Keep jars in the fridge until you’re ready — up to 3 months. Let them come to room temperature before inoculating.
  2. Inoculate. Wipe down your workspace, then inject 1–1.5cc of spore solution or 2cc of liquid culture per jar, split across the four pre-drilled holes. Not sure how many syringes to buy? Use our syringe calculator.
  3. Colonize. Keep jars somewhere clean, dark and steady, ideally in the low-to-mid 70s °F, until they’re fully white.
  4. Set up the tub. Prepare the monotub with the liner, filter disks, perlite and light as shown in the printed guide.
  5. Birth and fruit. Birth the colonized cakes into the tub, keep humidity up and give them indirect light — the LED makes it easy — then harvest.

New to jars? Our guide to growing in substrate jars walks through the PF Tek process step by step, and how to store substrate jars covers where to keep them while they colonize.

Use 1–1.5cc of spore solution or 2cc of liquid culture per jar, split across the four pre-drilled holes.

How long can I store the jars before starting?

Up to 3 months in the refrigerator. Let them come to room temperature before you inoculate.

Can I reuse the monotub?
