Grow kit instructions
1. OXYGENATE
Remove the grow kit bag, keeping it the loose side of the bag taped as is. Use a clean, sharp knife to cut along the X, about 1” deep. Do not remove the flaps that are created by cutting the X.
2. AGITATE
With clean hands, lift the flaps of the X and use the knife to gently scrape some of the very top layer of woody material. This wakes up the mushroom mycelium. With the flaps held out of the way, slowly pour 2 tablespoons of water onto the area you just scraped.
3. LOCATE
Place your grow kit in a spot where it will get indirect sunlight during the day, and where it will be dark at night. 65-68 degrees fahrenheit will keep your mushrooms happy, but a little warmer is fine.
4. HYDRATE
Use a clean spray bottle with fresh water to spray the woody material below the X twice per day. Number of sprays will vary depending on the size of your spray bottle, but each time you spray should be about a tablespoon of water.
5. OBSERVE
Within 10 days you will begin to see mushroom growth. Continue spraying the mushrooms as they mature; they should double in size each day until ready to harvest.
