Let customers speak for us
Just what we needed, worked great, and saved a little putting on our own injection ports
Fast shipping! I’m always satisfied with my purchases. I have been quite successful transferring the bags into a small monotub. Will continue to be a customer. NOT a paid review! 🙅🏻♂️
I was needing something with amuch smaller footprint the bigger tubs were getting in the way a lot. The only gripe I ever have is that the Midwest growkit systems always come with these weird detachable handles that look like something that a dog would like to chew up, or would be easy to misplace... Other than that love you guys, last month I got the Spore culture bottles 30 ml and expanded my pleurotus eryngii culture
It's awesome being able to do microscopy in mycology at home just because I'm weird.
Very easy to use and set up. Yield is as advertised. This is my new go to grow method.
Excited about the growing excitement. Waiting for part 2
New to Research, heard complaints of other Company's all-in-one bags getting Contaminated, many recommended Midwest. I know my process wasn't perfect and your bag made it to fruiting. Maxing out Strain size and shape, matching strain descripton and color. Ordered 5 more bags and 2 heating mats.
Ive ordered upwards of 50 bags of this substrate and only had 1 issue so its safe to say this is a quality product every bag has usherd in a succesful flush of my favorit strains so buy it
I’ve used several heating/seedling mats over the years and this beats them all. Great temperature adjustability. Like most heating mats a dish cloth between the mat and tub helps. A heavier full tub will run a little hotter than an empty/light tub. A great investment…especially if you live in colder climates
I love these for the value ! You cannot go wrong with these 32oz ready to use 5-grain jars. I’d make them myself but there’s a few ingredients, time for pasteurization and then equipment . Again ! VALUE! It’s here! Love em!
It's doing very well as is my spawn bag that inoculated a few days before them I'm excited to see how it all turns out.
Thank you all for making good products I'll recommend on the other folks.
I have 6 1/2 pint jars and all of them came unsterile ik there unsterile because I have a uvc light and a pressure cooker and they still came out contaminated my syringes I got are plyable too and still my stuff was contaminated I need another couple of jars
Premium product
Get a good whiff when you open
I started this project back in July and started seeing promising pins around the end of August. I’m very new to the whole procedure, but super content with the product outcome. Still cropping caps 4.5 weeks after the first harvest. Thanks for all the educational support, it’s well organized on the “learn” dropdown.
I can't pass up a new way to get more mushies in my diet. I didnt really have any expectations on this as I am not a fan of Ryze and some other instant mushroom coffees but this really blew me away! I brewed some this morning and the flavor of this specific roast is very very good. I literally cannot taste a hint of the mushrooms! From my guess looking at the beans the mushrooms are freeze dried and super fine. Now I just need K-Cups and larger bags! I will be adding this to my future orders!
