PF-Tek MycDrop™ Grow Kit
PF-Tek significantly impacted the mushroom cultivation community when introduced in 1992 by Robert McPherson aka Psylocybe Fanaticus.
Developed as a reliable method for growing mushrooms at home, we now bring it to you in our range of sterile kits – ready to easily grow your own gourmet mushrooms.
PF-Tek MycDrop Grow Kit
The PF-Tek MycDrop Grow Kit acts as the smaller sibling of our PF-Tek MycoBox Grow Kit. It’s smaller in volume but this delivers faster results, making it ideal for those of you who want your gourmet mushrooms quickly!
Why Choose This Kit?
This grow kit works perfectly for beginners who want an affordable, fast, and straightforward introduction to mushroom cultivation. The ‘all-in-one’ design of the PF-Tek MycDrop suits cooler homes exceptionally well because it handles lower temperatures effectively.
Alternatively, for more experienced growers or those in warmer environments, we recommend our MonoBox Grow Kit.
However, if you prefer the PF-Tek cultivation method but desire larger yields and don’t mind a longer wait, consider our PF-Tek MycoBox Grow Kit.
