Cylocybe Special MycoBox Grow Kit
The Cylocybe Special MycoBox Grow Kit has been a cornerstone of our product range for several years. First introduced in January 2019, it quickly became the UK’s best-selling grow kit due to its innovative design, featuring our InjectThru™ lid, and exceptional performance.
Cylocybe Special MycoBox Grow Kit
Our Cylocybe Special MycoBox Grow Kit played a pivotal role in the expansion of our operations, which now include state-of-the-art Cleanrooms and advanced equipment. During the initial stages of the pandemic, it is estimated that thousands of kilograms of mushrooms were cultivated weekly across the UK using this very kit.
Why Choose this Grow Kit?
The Cylocybe Special MycoBox Grow Kit is an excellent choice for those new to mushroom cultivation, particularly if your home tends to be cooler from September onwards. Its design is forgiving of lower temperatures, making it ideal for growers without access to an incubator.
Alternatively, for more experienced cultivators looking for larger yeilds and/or those in warmer environments, we recommend our MonoBox Grow Kit.
Key Benefits
- Double the Substrate Volume: Contains twice the substrate capacity compared to our MycoPots Grow Kit
- Versatile Substrate Compatibility: Supports the cultivation of nearly any mushroom species, making it a flexible choice for diverse growing projects.
- Beginner-Friendly Success Rates: Designed with novice cultivators in mind, ensuring high success rates and a smooth growing experience.
- Temperature Tolerance: More forgiving of cooler temperatures and household temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for a variety of environments.
- Perfect for Beginners: Offers a straightforward and reliable introduction to mushroom cultivation, ideal for those new to the hobby.
- Inject-thru™ System: Features our signature Inject-thru™ technology for easy, contamination-free inoculation.
- Low Maintenance: Moreover, no need for regular water misting, making it hassle-free and user-friendly.
- Optimised for High Yields: Developed to produce larger flushes and significantly higher yields.
Considerations
- Longer colonisation period compared to our smaller MycoPot or MycDrop grow kits
- May be too simplistic for those seeking a more hands-on learning experience – our MonoBox Grow Kit is better suited for learning advanced cultivation techniques
Enhanced or Regular Version
The Enhanced version includes 3000mL of Perlite to maintain optimal humidity levels for mushroom growth. It also upgrades the XL grow tent to a larger XXL grow tent, providing ample space for fruiting.
If you are comfortable with a slightly more compact setup and relying on the natural moisture of the substrate, the regular version will meet your needs.
