Anyone tried EZ-gro kit from Homestead?

My Spores arrived today!

I ordered that kit a long time ago...never came...wasted mah moneys.

total bummer - was it from Homestead or somewhere else?

spores101 was easy and cheap - I've heard good things about Ralphs as well...

Definately check out shroomery if you get a chance.

Yea it was from homestead =/. Believe it or not same thing happened when I ordered salvia through the mail.

I ordered mine from homestead and i got it within 5days. also my rye bag is turning white real fast. they gave me 3lbs of compost and a tiny bag. i already went and bout 10lbs more of the compost adn this huge rubber tote. Just like the dude did in the DVD they send with the homestead kit.

thats shitty you got ripped off. the ppl there are really nice and will do all that they can so you will have a good grow. if the rye is contaminted they send you a new one, any help they can give they will give, if you did pay for it tell them whats up. you just gonna let your self get ripped off. thats not the stoner attitude.

Hi folks, I would just like to respond to some of the misinformation and misunderstanding about the Homestead EZ Gro Mushroomkit that I have read in this thread. First of all, to the guy who says he never received his order, I want to thank Kassidy for pointing out that a simple phone call or email to us would have straightened out the matter. I cannot tell you how many times UPS has returned an order to us undelivered because somebody gave a bad address, or perhaps used a name that didn't exist. Usually the people phone us and we send it back out to them, but other times I guess the person who ordered would rather complain publicly that he was ripped off.

The truth of the matter is that many people either cannot or do not want to deal with all the sterilization that is required to do it yourself. For these people it is worth the extra money to get a kit that is already sterilized, has the finest quality spores, plus includes some really good compost that is unavailable to the average person. In addition, as some of your posters pointed out, once you buy the kit you are eligible to get a refill at a large discount.

Another untruth that has been posted was that you get only one flush. This is simply not true. With the EZ Gro Kit you get anywhere from 3 to 5 flushes.

We have been doing this since 1972 and have an honorable reputation. As a company we distribute High Times Magazine and many others, as well as all the marijuana growing books, and a great variety of countercultural publications. We have also published many books. We have a toll-free phone number and we also publish our email address. So there is no excuse to not get in touch with us if you have any questions or problems. Many people try to phone us at Saturday night around midnight when we are not at work. Try calling us during normal business hours, Pacific Time, Monday through Friday.

When you do phone us, please limit your questions to matters of growing and not about getting high.

Finally, yes we do ship to California and every other state.

Thank you for the opportunity to tell the truth about the Homestead EZ Gro Kit.

Hi David - Thanks for stopping by and telling your side.

I totally agree - after trying a few grows the sterilization issue is not a small one. I think I'm pretty careful and still had several problems with contams.

If I had the extra cash I probably would have gone the kit route to start. As it was, I had little money but all the needed equipment from other projects. So all I really needed was spores.

Thanks again for telling your side of things!

Homestead Rules !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I luv em and stand behind 100 % great customer service awesome kit huge flushes and lots of fun.

Any update of the grow?

Hey David, what is the average yield from one order? /thanks

How many grams does a homesteads ez gro mushroomkit give you? Once they're dry..

Did anyone find out what type of yeild ya get from the ez gro kit??

pointless bump

They're delicious.

You get anywhere from an ounce and a half to two oz,dry. Could be more,depends on what you do with the tray.

about 2 days away from harvesting the first flush. the kit is as it says "ez" if you have the money and not the time or the ability to do it yourself, it is a nice and very simple kit to use. i bought it on a whim when i was pretty desperate for an experience that would help me forget a few recent events. the box came quickly by ups marked from homestead books co. otherwise plain. instructions had pictures and faq. no need to sterilize or change clothing, nothing needed that is not included in the kit. i've not taken much care of mine. the weather has been cooler than recommended so it has taken longer than others might be able to grow. to be honest i'm surprised they have made it without contamination because i went through a serious period of not giving a shit about much of anything and it was pretty much neglected. i've got shrooms all over because i was careless about light but what the hell? more shrooms to dry and use. there are multiple flushes possible too and there is a discount for the second order with a larger compost bag.

the kit is worth it if you have very limited time or limited facilities. you don't need to scour the net for information, it is all included. if you have time and like to learn about this lovely world, you will save money doing it yourself. i learn by observation and hands on, so it is almost like a course in growing shrooms without a lot of risk of failure involved.

I woulda got one awhile back but I'm in the states and lost my buddy in britan to an accident...oh we'll..shrooms will show up for me eventually...

mangojuice... harvest that 1st flush real gental and you'll get another 3-4 flushes. If you like it, the refill kits are alittle cheaper and have a 5 lb size compost , bigger than the 3 lb the starter kit comes with. $95 total on a refill....and they usually send a different type spores in the refill to mix it up a bit.

thanks rowlman. took a small one out early. couldn't wait, lol. they are delicious like rowlman said, nice topping for salad took just enough for the world to come alive ...the flush is all over n cramped will be more careful with light this next time. but quite a good outcome- better than expected. best investment i've made second only to my first love, which is still a few weeks away from realization. highly recommended for anyone who wants it easy. this kit has reminded me that shrooms are definite mainstay in this garden. will need a cow grow happy y'all.

Any one know what happens if you accidentally pulled the white patch off the brown rye bag? Yes I know I shouldn't have. But I did on some dummy shit
