Hillbilly Pumpkin Mushroom Grow Kit

The Hillbilly Pumpkin Mushroom Grow Kit by Mystic Fungi is a distinctive and robust cultivation kit with a striking appearance. This variant of the classic Hillbilly Psilocybe cubensis is known for its thick stems and bright orange caps that resemble miniature pumpkins. Thanks to its smart design and high yield potential, it is an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced growers.

This innovative grow concept produces higher yields compared to standard grow kits and requires minimal daily maintenance. There is no need for constant opening or spraying. Fresh air supply is sufficient to achieve a successful harvest. The kit includes a convenient reusable bag clip, so no heat sealer is required. Under optimal conditions, mushrooms are ready for harvest within two to three weeks.

It is an ideal choice for growers looking for a visually unique variety with a bold and recognizable appearance.

Ingredients and Composition

The grow kit contains a substrate fully inoculated with Hillbilly Pumpkin (Psilocybe cubensis) mycelium, packaged in a specially developed grow container.

Included in the package:

• 1 grow kit with fully colonized substrate
• 1 grow bag with microfilter
• 1 reusable bag clip
• Detailed instruction manual

Complete Growing Instructions

1. Preparation
Ensure your workspace is clean to prevent contamination by unwanted microorganisms. Always work hygienically. Use only clean tap water or mineral water for misting or soaking. Do not use distilled or demineralized water.

2. Setting Up the Grow Bag
Remove the bag from the box and unroll it. Open the bag by removing the airtight clip at the top. Gently stretch the bag to allow fresh air inside, then close it again using the clip.

To reduce the risk of mushrooms growing along the sides of the substrate (side pins), place an elastic band around the outside of the bag approximately 1.5 cm below the top of the substrate.

3. Monitoring Growth
Carefully monitor the bag once mushrooms begin to develop. For the first two flushes, no additional water is required. When the caps begin to open, it is time to harvest. Keep in mind that not all varieties form veils or visibly release spores.

4. Harvesting
Before harvesting, disinfect your hands with alcohol and preferably wear latex gloves. To harvest, gently twist the mushrooms clockwise until they detach from the substrate. Harvest as soon as the caps begin to open for optimal potency.

The mushrooms are typically ready for harvest within two to four weeks, depending on growing conditions and temperature.

5. Aftercare Following Harvest
After harvesting the second flush, add a small amount of water inside the bag, approximately one third up to the level of the substrate. Close the bag securely with the clip to ensure it is airtight. Briefly remove and reattach the clip to introduce fresh air. If excess water has not been absorbed within twelve hours, carefully pour it off.

6. Temperature Control
Maintain a stable temperature between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius (68–77°F) for best results. Avoid significant temperature fluctuations.

7. Subsequent Harvests
You can expect at least two harvests per kit. Under optimal conditions, three or even four flushes may be possible. After each harvest, close the bag again and add water as described to encourage further fruiting cycles.

Storage Instructions

For best results, begin the growing process immediately after receiving the kit.

If you decide to start later, which may affect overall quality, the grow kit can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks at a temperature between 2°C and 8°C. You may keep the grow bag with mycelium inside its original box and place it directly in the refrigerator.

Ensure that your refrigerator is clean and free from mold. As an additional precaution, you may place the kit inside a clean plastic bag or grow bag during storage.
