This distinctive Psilocybe cubensis variety, derived from the Albino Penis Envy line, is known for its thick stems, pale caps, and striking appearance. It is an excellent choice for growers looking for something unique and powerful.

This innovative cultivation method delivers higher yields compared to standard grow kits, with the potential to produce up to approximately 700 grams of fresh mushrooms per kit under optimal conditions. No daily care is required. Opening or spraying is not necessary. Simply ensure proper air exchange and allow nature to take its course. Harvest is typically possible within 2 to 3 weeks.

The kit is suitable for both beginners and experienced growers and includes a convenient bag clip, so no heat sealer is needed.

Ingredients and Composition

This grow kit contains fully colonized substrate with the APE221 strain of Psilocybe cubensis, packaged in a durable grow box.

Included in the package:

• 1 APE221 Magic Mushroom Grow Kit
• 1 grow bag with filter
• 1 sealing clip
• Detailed instruction manual
• Potential yield up to approximately 700 grams fresh mushrooms under optimal conditions

Usage

Place the grow kit inside the provided grow bag and close it securely using the included clip. Ensure adequate air exchange. No additional steps such as daily spraying or opening are required. Under proper conditions, the first harvest can be expected within 2 to 3 weeks. Follow the included instructions carefully for best results.

Complete Growing Instructions

1. Preparation
Ensure your workspace is clean to prevent contamination from 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 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 chance 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
Keep a close eye on the bag once mushrooms begin to develop. For the first two flushes, no additional water is required. Harvest when the caps begin to open. Note 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 when the caps begin to open for optimal potency.

The mushrooms are typically ready for harvest within two to four weeks, depending on environmental 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 repeat the watering step to encourage additional fruiting cycles.

Storage Instructions

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

If you choose 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.
