Why grow magic mushrooms?
Why would you grow your own magic mushrooms? Why not just buy them ready-made in a store? Well, we have a short answer to that: it’s not legal. Magic mushrooms have not been legally available for sale in the Netherlands since 2008, but grow kits are. So if you want to get your hands on magic mushrooms in the Netherlands (and in virtually any other country), you’ll have to grow them yourself. Fortunately, Dutch-Smart makes that incredibly easy with the wide selection of magic mushroom grow kits we offer. In most cases, you’ll be able to enjoy your own home-grown magic mushrooms within a few weeks!

How do you choose the right grow kit?
Now that we’ve told you why you should grow your own magic mushrooms, it’s time to tell you how to make the right choice. In our Mushroom Shop, you’ll find dozens of different types of grow kits with all sorts of exotic names, and we can imagine that as a beginner grower, you have no idea what Golden Teacher, Cambodian, Amazonian, or Copelandia Hawaiian actually mean.
Well, as you’ve probably noticed from these names, many grow kits are named after the location where they come from. It’s important to note that all the grow kits we offer here at Dutch-Smart contain psilocybin as the active ingredient. Some people think that the only real difference between the grow kits is the amount of this active ingredient they contain. And while this does largely determine the kind of trip you have, there are other differences. For example, some grow kits are easier to grow than others, and some types require a bit more work and maintenance. A few examples are:

Ecuadorian magic mushrooms
If you see“Ecuador”listed next to a grow kit, that means the spores in this magic mushroom grow kit come from the Ecuadorian Andes.

If you really want to get the most out of your magic mushrooms, you’ll naturally want to ensure the correct growing temperature is maintained. Generally, these mushrooms are considered suitable for those with some prior experience—as the visuals range from moderate to intense.

Decide on the type of trip you want
As you read above, how easy the growing process will be depends on the specific grow kit. But there’s more to consider when choosing your magic mushroom grow kit. You need to decide what kind of trip you want to experience. Are you going for a heavy visual trip? An intense emotional trip? Or just a subtle trip suitable for first-time magic mushroom users?
Whatever your choice, there’s always a suitable magic mushroom grow kit that meets one of these requirements. In addition, it’s important to stick to the right dose. Generally, 5 to 10 grams of fresh magic mushrooms is recommended—though that dose can be very intense for some and very mild for others. If this is your first time tripping, start by gently getting acquainted with the magic mushrooms and take a small dose. This way, you’ll learn exactly how your body reacts to them and what you might be able to handle next time.
