Psliocybe cubensis growkit - questions

[toxels]

Hi! I'm new to using mushrooms and I'm planning to buy the psilo growkit .(http://azarius.be/product2_23_0_kweekset_cubensis.html)
I was wondering if it's possible to put the growkit inside a closet, but with a lightbulb instead of 'indirect sunlight' . ALso, if the growkit delivers 400-600 grams of fresh shrooms, how many trips will I be able to 'make' if I eat a normal dose? :smirk:

Yes, it is possible, but remember that there isn't much light needed, just enough to tell the mycelium that it's time to start pinning.

ALso, if the growkit delivers 400-600 grams of fresh shrooms, how many trips will I be able to 'make' if I eat a normal dose? :smirk:

"Normal dose" varies, but it's usually somewhere around 10-30 grams (fresh, 1-3g dried). So if we estimate that your growkit will produce about 500g of fresh mushrooms and your average dose would be 20 grams (fresh), then you would have enough for about 25 trips.

So it would be enough if I placed a little lightbulb inside the closet? And should it burn continuously or should I 'simulate' day and night? Thanks anyway for your help :jump:

Yes, that should definitely be enough. I wouldn't keep the bulp burning 24/7 myself, some kind of light/darkness perioid might be a good idea. I think that too much light isn't good for mycelium either.
