SUPA GRO KIT 100% ‘HAWAIIAN

Hawaiian Mushroom Grow Kit

Hawaiian mushroom grow kit also known as Psilocybe Cubensis Hawaiian. The Supa gro kit rapidly produces large flushes of big fruit bodies. 30cm specimens are not seldom. The appearance resembles the Cambodian variety with its rather wide and bell-shaped caps. Do not confuse Cubensis Hawaiian with Hawaiian Copelandia (Panaeolus cyanascens), which is a totally different species.

Most Cubensis strains are named after the person who discovered them or after the region. Now, where does Psilocybe Cubensis Hawaiian come from? We don’t know where from, in any case, not Hawaii, because there are no reports of magic mushrooms growing in the wild in Hawaii. So why is it named Hawaiian? Because the first company to sell this variety was located in Honolulu, Hawaii.

How to store the grow kit correctly

It is recommended to start the cultivation process right away. If you decide to start growing later, you may store the grow kit in the refrigerator (2°C to 8°C) for 2 weeks. First, wrap the grow kit in a plastic shopping bag and close it well.

Contents

• 1x grow box – This contains substrate with active mycelium (the cake)
• 1x grow bag – The bag has a micron filter to keep contaminants out
• 1x paperclip – For closing the grow bag. Hawaiian mushroom grow kit

You need

• Misting Bottle – Misting is needed for the humidity level
• Potable water – For misting and soaking
• Clean environment – Work clean to give other fungi and bacteria (microorganisms) no chance to contaminate.
• FRESH MUSHROOMS GROW KIT ‘MCKENNAII’

We recommend using

• Surgical gloves
• Facemask
• Disinfectant for hands
• Disinfectant for surfaces
• Soaking Bag
• Thermometer
• Thermo mat (when room temperature drops below 18°C)

How to prepare the room and yourself before you begin

• Close any open windows. Wind or draft may bring microorganisms that can contaminate the Psilocybe cubensis ‘Fiji’ Magic Mushroom grow kit. Hawaiian mushroom grow kit
• When taking out the grow box with the cake from the carton box, put it on a disinfected surface. If this surface would not be clean, microorganisms may attach to the grow box and will flourish inside the Psilocybe cubensis ‘Fiji’ Magic Mushroom grow kit and will contaminate the grow box.
• Make sure you work with clean hands and arms. We recommend using surgical gloves or a good disinfectant when handling the kit. You should use a facemask to avoid breathing into the grow bag and on the cake.

Starting the process

1. Fill the box with fresh, potable water. Close the grow box well and let it soak for 12 hours.
2. After 12 hours, pour the surplus of water out of the grow box.
3. Place the grow box inside the grow bag. The open end of the bag should point upwards.
4. Remove the lid from the grow box. Rinse the lid and store it in the carton box.
5. Fold the open end of grow bag twice; do not cover the micron filter.
6. Place the paperclip on the fold, so the bag stays closed. Now the Psilocybe cubensis ‘Fiji’ Magic Mushroom grow kit is ready to grow.
7. Place the Psilocybe cubensis ‘Fiji’ Magic Mushroom grow kit inside the carton box, on top of the Ziploc with lid.

Temperature

The ideal temperature is 24°C. Do not have the temperature drop under 18°C and not exceed 29°C. To keep the temperature from dropping under 18°C, you can use a Thermo Heatingmat to maintain the ideal temperature. A Thermo mat is a must-have in the winter or colder regions of the world.

Light

The Psilocybe cubensis Mondo® Fiji Magic Mushroom Grow 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 shining directly on the grow kit.

Water / Misting

The day after you start the process you begin with misting. Open the grow bag by removing the paperclip. Do not spray directly on the cake but spray one time against every side of the bag. So you mist once a day, four sprays. Misting also vents fresh oxygen inside the bag. Right after misting, close the bag again with the paperclip. Hawaiian mushroom grow kit

Mushrooms

If the conditions are optimal, you can expect the first small mushrooms (the pins) to appear between 5 and 16 days. This also depends on the strain. Some cubensis strains grow slower than others. Hawaiian mushroom grow kit

Flushes

The mushrooms come up in groups. This can be a small or large group. That depends on the strain. A growth like this is called a flush. Mushrooms are almost never ripe at the same time. You can get more than one flush out of a kit. The first two flushes are the largest. When more flushes come, they will be smaller than the previous one. Hawaiian mushroom grow kit

Picking

Mushrooms are ripe and should be picked when the veil between the hat and the stem has just torn. Don’t wait much longer. Use surgical gloves or disinfect your hands, wrists, and arms. Pick the mushrooms that are ripe and let the others continue to grow. Remove the mushrooms from the cake by taking hold of the base of the mushroom between the 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.

The end

When no more mushrooms grow out of a grow kit after the second flush for at least three weeks, or when the Psilocybe cubensis ‘Fiji’ Magic Mushroom grow kit turns green, red, grey or yellow; the grow kit can be disposed of.  The change in color is a sign that the grow kit is contaminated with another fungus or bacteria. No more mushrooms will grow out of the Psilocybe cubensis ‘Fiji’ Magic mushroom grow kit and the grow kit should be thrown away in the garbage outside. Hawaiian mushroom grow kit

Spores Hawaiian mushroom grow kit

When you are too late picking the mushrooms, they will drop their spores. The cake and the mushrooms will turn black/purple (some other cubensis strains red/brown) because of the spores. This is not really a problem; it just doesn’t look very pretty. When mushrooms release their spores, they also start to degrade, and the active ingredients are breaking down. Mushrooms will lose some of their potency.
