Sorry, this happened. The second line of the instructions should have been taken out of the instructions before sending it out. The sterilization process is not completely necessary and can be skipped. if you decide to follow the sterilization step please use a different tub than the plastic one that comes with the kit.

After melting the plastic container in the owen, i thought i failed with the kit... but surprisingly after some days some little green thingy popped out... now they're 11th! One month passed now, and the first onces started to appear like micro san pedro whit a pair of tiny hair, and they're 5-6 mm tall.
I'm going on day by day looking their color and appareance, hoping they'll survive! (Posted on 8/29/2022) - The growing onstructions could be more detailed. Review by :)

Only thing is that it comes without any instructions, and you have to ask for them specifically. The instructions that I received was not too detailed compared to for instance shroom growing instructions, had to figure out a lot of things by myself.

I can comment that the instructions are somewhat unclear. Especially the part about sterilizing the soil. I don't have a microwave and used the oven. the instruction says 60 minutes in the oven without any indication at what temperature. I had to find out that information elsewhere and the answer is 82-93 C. I had to buy a thermometer (that goes to 150C) to put in the oven and stand guard since the thermostat for the oven is not that accurate to maintain 82-93C. When it got too hot I opened the oven door...etc.
Also the plastic container cracked, not sure if I did it or it was broken during transport. Its very fragile so be careful with it. I then used a tupperware instead and it is even better since it is transparent from the sides also. (Posted on 3/2/2020) - 14 out of 20 Review by notme
