Years of planning and testing have resulted in the next generation of Mondo® Treasure Coast Magic Mushroom grow kits. The Mondo® Grow Kit Treasure Coast  has become better than it ever was.  The next generation of Psilocybe cubensis Mondo® Treasure Coast Grow Kit boasts improvements over the first generation:

• Larger yields and more mushrooms
• More flushes*
• Better resistance to contamination.
• Different, but easier instructions

*Some strains produce more flushes than others. The first three flushes are the largest.

Meet the new standard of easy grow kits.

The Psilocybe cubensis Mondo® Treasure Coast Magic Mushroom grow kit is slightly different than the grow kits you might have seen before.

This is seen only in the substrate recipe and is a secret, not just shared with everyone. Not even with us! After opening the carton box, you will first see the familiar micron filter.

Just like the previous and other simple grow kits, you do not need to use additional spores. During the laboratory process, the spores have developed into mycelium inside the substrate (the cake) in the grow box.

How can I correctly store the grow kit?

Start the cultivation process immediately. 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

• One grow box contains substrate with active mycelium, also known as the cake.
• The grow bag contains a micron filter to prevent contaminants from entering.
• One reusable yellow seal is used to close the grow bag.

You need

• Misting Bottle: The humidity level requires a misting bottle.
• Potable water—for misting and soaking
• Maintain a clean environment to prevent the contamination of other fungi and bacteria (microorganisms).

We recommend using

• Sterile Latex Gloves | Pair
• Face Mask
• Disinfectant Hand Sanitizer | Softa-Man Handgel
• Surface Disinfectant Spray
• Soaking Bag
• The digital hygrometer and thermometer feature an external sensor.
• When the room temperature falls below 18°C, use the Thermo Heating Mat.

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 “Treasure Coast” Magic Mushroom Grow Kit.
• After removing the grow box containing the cake from the carton box, place it on a surface that has been disinfected. If this surface is not clean, microorganisms may attach to the grow box, flourish inside the Psilocybe cubensis ‘Treasure Coast’ Magic Mushroom grow kit, and contaminate the grow box.
• Make sure you work with clean hands and arms. We recommend using surgical gloves or a suitable 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 the grow bag twice; do not cover the micron filter.
6. Place the reusable yellow seal on the fold so the bag stays closed. Now the Psilocybe cubensis “Treasure Coast” magic mushroom grow kit is ready to grow.
7. Place the Psilocybe cubensis ‘Treasure Coast’ Magic Mushroom Grow Kit inside the carton box, on top of the ziplock with lid.

Temperature

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

Light

The Psilocybe cubensis Mondo® Treasure Coast 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’s direct shine on the grow kit.

Water / Misting

The day after you initiate the process, you start misting. Open the grow bag by removing the reusable yellow seal. Do not spray directly on the cake, but spray one time against every side of the bag.

Therefore, you should mist four times a day. Misting also vents fresh oxygen inside the bag. Right after misting, close the bag again with the reusable yellow seal.

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.

Flushes

The mushrooms come up in groups. This can be a small or large group. That depends on the strain. We call a growth like this 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.

Picking

When the veil between the hat and the stem has just ripped, the mushrooms are ripe and ready for picking. Don’t wait much longer.

Wear 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 holding onto the base of the mushroom between thumb and index finger. Slowly rotate your hand clockwise until the mushroom releases its grip. Do not pull out the mushrooms.

This would risk damaging the mycelium and killing it. Once you’ve harvested the majority of the larger mushrooms, don’t forget to also harvest the smaller ones and the pins.

Mushrooms that grow from the sides

Mushrooms grow where the light reaches and where there is little penetrating resistance. Due to light on the cake’s sides, mushrooms may grow there. It is hard to counter this, and it can be allowed.

Some growers wrap the sides of the grow box in aluminum foil to keep the sides dark, but this doesn’t always work well. You can harvest the mushrooms there right before soaking the kit.

Clean hands! Take the grow box out of the bag and place it upside down on your other hand. Wiggle the plastic box to allow the cake to fall into your hand.

Place the plastic box on a sanitized surface. You can now use your free hand to pick the mushrooms from the sides of the cake.

Once you’ve picked all the mushrooms, return the cake to its original position in the plastic box and proceed with the soaking process.

Soaking

Once you’ve harvested all the mushrooms, get the kit ready for the subsequent flush. Again, with disinfected hands or gloves, take the grow box out of the grow bag.

Fill the box with fresh, potable water. Take the lid out of the ziplock bag and use it to close the grow box. Place the closed grow box in a soaking bag or wrap it around the box using your own clean plastic shopping bag.

Close it well and place it in the refrigerator (2°C to 8°C) for 12 hours. This is called the soaking process. Water will now soak through the cake, preparing it for the next flush.

During the soaking, you can hang the grow bag with the micron filter upside down to dry. Make sure to hang it upside down, so no microorganisms will access the bag.

Many growers prefer to use new and unused grow bags after every flush. After 12 hours, take the soaking bag with the grow box out of the fridge and unpack it.

Next Flush

To continue, follow the same steps 3–7 as before when you started the process for the first time. Several days later, a new flush will appear.

You can get at least 2 or 3 flushes out of a Psilocybe cubensis ‘Treasure Coast’ magic mushroom grow kit. Experienced cultivators can extract more flushes from a kit.

The end

After the second flush for at least three weeks, or when the Psilocybe cubensis ‘Treasure Coast’ Magic Mushroom grow kit turns green, red, grey, or yellow, you can discard the grow kit. A change in color indicates the presence of another fungus or bacteria in the grow kit.

The Psilocybe cubensis ‘Treasure Coast’ Magic mushroom grow kit will no longer produce mushrooms, so dispose of it outside in the trash.

Spores

If you wait too long to pick the mushrooms, they will release their spores. The spores will cause the cake and the mushrooms to turn black or purple, while some other Cubensis strains will turn red or brown.

This is not really a problem; it just doesn’t look very pretty. When mushrooms release their spores, they also begin to degrade, leading to the breakdown of their active ingredients. Mushrooms will lose some of their potency.
