Product Description
Details
This empty grow box is the building block for small-batch substrate cultivation. The lid features an integrated micron filter, which allows the gas exchange (CO₂ out, fresh air in) that growing mycelium needs — without letting airborne contaminants in.
Available sizes
- 280 ml — single PF Tek cake, small substrate batch
- 565 ml — medium cake, ideal starter size
- 1000 ml — standard volume for substrate cakes
- 2000 ml — larger batches and bulk substrate prep
How to use it
- Fill the box with your prepared substrate (e.g. vermiculite + brown rice flour for PF Tek).
- Place the filter lid on top.
- Sterilize in a pressure cooker or autoclave.
- Let cool, then inoculate via the lid (or alongside, depending on your method).
- Incubate at room temperature. The micron filter handles gas exchange during colonization.
Reusable
The box and lid are reusable. After each cycle, clean thoroughly and re-sterilize for the next batch.
Sold per piece — select size above.

Although those plastic containers are easier and cheaper to use than glass jars, I found a flaw that as of yet, has not compromised the cultures I've made in those boxes.Rating
Those plastic boxes being deformable on the sides and bottom, it's very hard to manipulate them without compressing them and thus making air flow in when they decompress
Air flow is something to avoid during inoculation and even when you take them out of sterilization.
So be careful. (Posted on 12/8/2022) - XL Review by Gsus

I agree with ivailo. The 2 litre ones are a bit challenging to properly sterilize. Other than that I absolutely love these boxes. The 1 litre one is very easy to streilize, It is made out of high quality plastic, closure is precise and the best part is the micron filter. Absolutely love it!!

Small plastic box: can be used to grow/mature the spores before they are used or as example to experiment with cloning of myscelia/mushrooms.Rating
The micro filter in the lid allow small amounts of oxygen to enter the box but does not let any humidity out. (Posted on 7/29/2018) - Okay but some annoying issues :-/ Review by Brian

I sterilized them for 40 minutes but got contamination in all 5, I kept without spores for 1 1/2 weeks in a sterile place at 24°cRating
I tried to sterilized them for 90 minutes but the plastic deformed to the inside and it took away place for the substrate rye berries the lid didn't close anymore properly...
It really sucks that it's not possible to sterilize them for longer than 40 minutes in a PC without melting the plastic.
Could you maybe produce them with thicker plastic or heat resident and charge more money for it?
Would be a great help and I would purchase for sure more of it they are a great concept.
Got 5 deformed plastic with spores ones without any contamination, already the 2nd flush now
Perfect quality of the filter and lid.
If just the plastic could be higher quality, stronger, so it's possible to sterilize it on higher temperatures for a longer period. That would be amazing and a huge help.
Maybe you could change thaht and not sell the cheap plastic ones.
Maybe make a premium heat resistant plastic one.
Nice regards B. (Posted on 7/19/2018) - XL Grow Box Review by Gert
