Explained by type: all psilocybin grow kits
Below, you will find a comprehensive discussion of every strain, from the most beginner-friendly to the most intensive. To do this, for each grow kit, we cover the nature of the experience, cultivation behavior, and for whom the strain is most suitable. Furthermore, you will find a direct link to order the grow kit for each strain.
Breeding season
3 to 4 weeks
The Golden Teacher is the best-selling psilocybin grow kit in our range, and not without reason. Moreover, it is forgiving to cultivate: minor errors in temperature or humidity are hardly held against it. The experience is clear and spiritual in nature, with a sense of connection and insight. This is why it is also popular among experienced users, who want a reliable and pleasant trip rather than an intense session. Furthermore, a 1L kit yields 80 to 150 grams of fresh mushrooms per flush, divided over an average of 2 to 3 flushes.
What makes the Golden Teacher so special is that it lends itself to both a light and a deeper experience, depending on the dose. This makes it suitable if you have tried psilocybin before but are not yet ready for a more potent strain. Furthermore, the mushrooms are golden in color, with a broad cap, and grow in compact clusters.
If you are unsure which psilocybin grow kit to buy and have little experience, the Golden Teacher is always a safe and sensible choice. Moreover, the manual included with the kit makes the process easy to follow for beginners.
Breeding season
3 to 5 weeks
The Mazatapec originates from Mexico and is the mildest strain in the entire range. This makes it the first choice for people who want to buy a psilocybin grow kit but also want to minimize the risk of an overwhelming experience. The effect is calm, introspective, and meditative, without pronounced visuals. The Mazatapec grows slightly slower than the Golden Teacher, but still yields a reliable harvest of 70 to 140 grams per flush with a 1L kit.
Mazatapec has a unique cultural background: it has been used for centuries by the Mazatec people in Mexico for ceremonies and rituals. Consequently, it carries a certain spiritual depth, despite its mild potency. Moreover, it is also suitable for people who are sensitive to psilocybin and consciously choose a strain with a softer profile.
If you are buying a psilocybin grow kit for the first time and want to be absolutely sure of a calm, controllable experience, the Mazatapec is the safest choice of the seven strains.
Breeding season
2 to 3 weeks
The Cambodian is, in fact, the fastest-colonizing strain in the range. While most strains require 3 to 4 weeks, you can expect your first flush with the Cambodian after just 2 to 3 weeks. Moreover, its yield is one of the highest: a 1L kit produces 100 to 200 grams per flush, distributed over 3 to 4 flushes. Consequently, the effect is also different from the Golden Teacher: more energetic, more active, and with light visual elements. This makes it ideal for daytime use or if you want to remain creative during the experience.
Anyone looking to buy a psilocybin grow kit with the best price-quality ratio in terms of yield almost always chooses the Cambodian. For this reason, it is also a popular second grow kit for people who have already tried the Golden Teacher and are curious about a different effect. However, keep a close eye on the kit: due to its rapid colonization, it is important to harvest on time.
Breeding season
3 to 4 weeks
The Aztec God has a rich cultural history: he is named after Aztec customs in which psilocybin mushrooms played a central role in spiritual ceremonies. Consequently, he also carries a deep spiritual character in practice. The potency is slightly higher than that of the Golden Teacher, and the experience is also more distinctly visual. For this reason, we recommend the Aztec God for people who have previously purchased and used a psilocybin grow kit and are looking for the next step.
The Aztec God colonizes reliably and without difficulty, but the experience does require good preparation. To this end, ensure a quiet environment, sufficient free time, and a trusted person nearby when using it for the first time. After all, it is a type that prompts you to think and engage in self-reflection, which can be confronting for some people.
Breeding season
3 to 4 weeks
DC Mak is a hybrid strain known for its pronounced visual effects and the profound introspection it induces. This makes it a different choice than Aztec God: whereas the latter is more spiritual and cerebral, DC Mak is distinctly visual and emotional. People who buy a psilocybin grow kit for rich color patterns, fluid imagery, and a deep sense of wonder frequently choose DC Mak. The yield is comparable to Aztec God: 80 to 160 grams per flush with a 1L kit.
The DC Mak requires slightly more preparation than the entry-level types. Therefore, it is wise to choose the environment carefully: a quiet, safe place without unexpected visitors or distractions. Furthermore, it is advisable to plan sufficient free time, as the experience can last 4 to 6 hours. Always schedule a day off afterwards for integration and rest.
Breeding season
4 to 6 weeks
The True Albino Teacher, also known as TAT, is a genetic mutant of the Golden Teacher that lacks all pigmentation. Consequently, the mushrooms are completely white, from stem to cap. Furthermore, the TAT is considerably more potent than its gold-colored relative: its potency is significantly higher because albino variants often contain a higher concentration of active substances. Therefore, some experience with psilocybin is necessary before purchasing the True Albino Teacher grow kit. Additionally, the cultivation time is longer than average: 4 to 6 weeks, and the harvest is smaller but all the more potent.
The True Albino Teacher is, after all, a visually impressive growing experience as well. Moreover, the white mushrooms are rare and recognizable, making for a striking harvest. However, always start with a lower dose than you normally would, even if you already have experience with psilocybin, because the TAT is noticeably more potent than the standard Golden Teacher.
Also keep in mind that the TAT colonizes more slowly than the other species. It requires more patience than average for this, but the experience it provides is certainly worth the wait for those looking for something exclusive.
Breeding season
3 to 4 weeks
The McKennaii is named after Terence McKenna, the famous writer and psychedelic researcher known for his intense experiences with psilocybin. Consequently, the character of this strain perfectly matches its namesake: deep, immersive, and sometimes confronting. Furthermore, the McKennaii is the most intense strain we offer, and is therefore absolutely not suitable for beginners. Extensive experience with psilocybin is a requirement. Additionally, we recommend using the McKennaii exclusively in the presence of an experienced trip master and on a day off.
If you want to buy the McKennaii psilocybin grow kit, make sure you have already used the Golden Teacher or another entry-level strain several times. Furthermore, it is wise to have your intention clear before the session: the McKennaii challenges you to look deep within yourself, and for that, you need a clear mental state. Additionally, always use it in a familiar, quiet environment.
Breeding the McKennaii proceeds smoothly: it fully colonizes the substrate in 3 to 4 weeks. In terms of cultivation, it is comparable to entry-level strains, but the end product is also significantly more potent.
Which psilocybin grow kit to buy? Choice guide

4 scenario

Moreover, do not forget that the size of the grow kit also plays a role. For a first grow kit, a 0,5L or 1L kit is sufficient to familiarize yourself with the growing process. If you already know how it works and want a maximum yield, a 2L kit is the most cost-effective choice. All sizes contain the same fully colonized mycelium, a grow box, filter bag, and manual. Furthermore, you can find more information about the growing process in the complete grow kit manual.
Frequently asked questions about buy psilocybin grow kits
Which psilocybin grow kit to buy as a beginner?
For beginners, the Golden Teacher is the best choice for buying a first psilocybin grow kit. Moreover, it is forgiving to grow and provides a clear, controlled experience. The Mazatapec and the Cambodian are also good options for this: the Mazatapec is the mildest of the three and ideal if you want to keep the experience as calm as possible. The Cambodian, on the other hand, is attractive if you want to harvest quickly and are looking for an energetic effect.
What is the difference between Golden Teacher and McKennaii?
The Golden Teacher is a medium-strength strain suitable for both beginners and advanced growers. The McKennaii, however, is the most potent strain in the range and is therefore suitable exclusively for experienced users. Furthermore, the McKennaii provides more intense visual and introspective experiences than the Golden Teacher. In terms of cultivation behavior, both strains are comparable: they both colonize in 3 to 4 weeks and yield a similar harvest. The only real difference, therefore, is the potency of the final product.
How long does it take to grow a psilocybin grow kit?
The growing time varies by strain. The Cambodian is the fastest strain, yielding your first flush after just 2 to 3 weeks. Most other strains, such as the Golden Teacher, Aztec God, and McKennaii, take 3 to 4 weeks. Furthermore, the True Albino Teacher is the slowest strain, requiring 4 to 6 weeks before it is ready for its first harvest. It therefore requires more patience than the other strains. The Mazatapec falls somewhere in between, with a growing time of 3 to 5 weeks.
How many mushrooms does a grow kit yield?
The yield depends on the strain and the size of the kit. A 1L grow kit produces an average of 70 to 200 grams of fresh mushrooms per flush, depending on the strain. The Cambodian is the most productive strain for this, yielding 100 to 200 grams per flush and producing 3 to 4 flushes per kit. The True Albino Teacher yields a smaller harvest of 60 to 120 grams, but has a more potent composition. Most strains produce an average of 2 to 3 flushes per kit. After each flush, you revitalize the kit by sprinkling it with water again and letting it rest for a few days.
Can I use a psilocybin grow kit multiple times?
Yes, a psilocybin grow kit can be used multiple times. After each flush, you revitalize the kit by sprinkling it with water again and then letting it rest for a few days in a cooler environment. To do this, use a plastic storage bag or wrap the block in plastic. Most kits yield 2 to 3 flushes before the mycelium is exhausted. The Cambodian, moreover, yields even 3 to 4 flushes, making it particularly cost-effective for its price. Furthermore, keep the kit sterile throughout the entire process to prevent contamination.
Is buying a psilocybin grow kit legal in the Netherlands?
In the Netherlands, buying and possessing psilocybin grow kits is permitted because the mycelium itself is not on the list of prohibited substances. Growing psilocybin mushrooms for personal use therefore falls into a legal grey area. However, stricter rules apply in many other countries: in Belgium, Germany, and the United Kingdom, psilocybin is completely prohibited. Furthermore, always consult the applicable legislation in your region before purchasing and using a psilocybin grow kit. Cannabis Bakehouse is not liable for actions contrary to local law.
Which size grow kit should I choose: 0,5L, 1L, or 2L?
For a first grow kit, the 0,5L kit is a good choice for getting to know the growing process without making a large investment. Furthermore, the 1L kit is the most popular option and offers a good balance between yield and price. The 2L kit is suitable if you want a maximum yield or already have experience with growing. All sizes contain the same fully colonized mycelium and the same growing supplies. The only difference is therefore the amount of mycelium and, consequently, the expected yield per flush.
What is the difference between a grow kit and magic truffles?
Magic truffles are ready for immediate use and require no cultivation process. A psilocybin grow kit, however, allows you to grow mushrooms yourself from fully colonized mycelium, which also yields a larger harvest and provides an active growing experience. For this reason, a grow kit is attractive if you want to experience the entire growth process, from the first appearance of the mycelial threads to the ripe harvest. Magic truffles, on the other hand, are suitable if you want to get started quickly and without any growing experience. Both products contain psilocybin, but in a different concentration and form.
Conclusion: the best buy psilocybin grow kit
Which psilocybin grow kit to buy depends entirely on your experience, goal, and the growing time you are willing to invest. For beginners, the golden-teacher the most complete and forgiving choice. After all, those seeking a softer effect choose the Mazatapec. Furthermore, those who want to breed quickly and productively choose the Cambodian.
For people with some experience, the Aztec God en DC Mak namely the logical next step. Moreover, those seeking exclusivity and higher potential will find it with the True Albino Teacher. And those who want maximum intensity and have the experience for it ultimately choose the McKennaii.
