I've wanted to order this product for sometime, and finally did. I am glad I did, and very excited to use it.

This will be my first time experimenting with LC. Midwest grow kits always has great products, prices and customer service.

The contents of the package arrived in fine working shape. With the number of items shipped, one of the two jars of liquid leaked due to being packaged on its side. There was minimal liquid lost (I compared the relative levels of the two jars).



I was worried about dislodging the magnetic bar from the lid (it attached itself there during shipping-I presume), especially after the instructions indicated sometimes a lot of force is required. I learned that a firm flick knocks the bar into the liquid--worked on both first try after arranging it under the lid away from the self healing injection port and hepa filter.



Having never used this technique (including a spore syringe), I was quite pleased all around. I have had experience with agar and live culture, and am very impressed with the ease of inoculating sterilely and using the magnetic bar to agitate the culture.



After 11 days, one jar is going strong with a nice cloudy culture, seemly soon ready for further inoculations. The other jar (as well as all the grain) was inoculated with a different strain and none has signs of life. Bummer regarding the lack of germination, but both the liquid and grain jars also do not show any signs of contamination. So if the liquid remains as is, I will inoculate it with the formerly mentioned jar ;-D ... Maybe I will update the post at a later date.

 

Bought the liquid culture to transfer from agar and has shown no signs of contamination and growing mycelium in the 5-7 day time span. Great product.

I ordered this product and within 4 days it was delivered! Box also was taken good care of with this side up sticker and fragile sticker. I have already started using the product and all is growing well :) 10/10 will be purchasing again.
