    Midwest Grow Kits introduces the Active Air Liquid Culture System, a professional-grade, shippable version of the liquid culture setup we’ve used in our lab for years. This system is specifically designed to infuse oxygen into your liquid culture, dramatically speeding up mycelium growth and increasing yield. Ideal for intermediate to advanced mushroom cultivators looking to maximize production.

    Key Benefits:

    • Speeds Up Mycelium Growth: The infusion of oxygen supercharges your liquid culture, leading to faster colonization and up to 4X more mycelium compared to traditional methods.
    • Produces small mycelium orbs- These orbs are easy to extract and identify when injecting into your grain. 
    • Prevents Hardening: Oxygenation keeps mycelium in a healthy, fluid state, avoiding the hardening or clumping issues often found in liquid cultures.
    • Enhanced Grain Spawn Colonization: The system encourages more aggressive and efficient mycelium growth when transferred to grain spawn, reducing overall cultivation time.
    • Shippable and Leak-Proof: Built with high-temperature, durable materials, this system is fully pre-sterilized and safe for shipping.
    • Ideal for Larger Projects: One air pump can run multiple jars, making this system scalable for larger cultivation setups.

    How It Works:

    The Active Air Liquid Culture System accelerates growth by providing a constant infusion of oxygen into the liquid culture. Here’s how it benefits your cultivation process:

    1. Sterile Injection: Start by injecting your chosen genetics—liquid culture syringe, spores, or agar wedge—into the pre-sterilized jar through a self-healing injection port. Make sure to follow sterile inoculation procedures.
    2. Incubation: After inoculation, incubate the liquid culture at the optimal temperature for your mushroom species (typically 76-82°F for grain-loving varieties). During this phase, spores begin to germinate, and mycelium starts to form at the bottom of the jar.
    3. Activate the Oxygenation: After 5-7 days, once the mycelium is visibly growing, turn on the air pump. Oxygenation not only accelerates growth but also helps the mycelium form healthier, more uniform clumps or "ropes." The system's timer allows you to customize the duration of air infusion, ensuring the culture gets the perfect balance of oxygen.
    4. Monitor Growth: Over the next 7-10 days, watch the mycelium thrive. Oxygenated liquid culture is more robust and spreads faster once transferred to grain spawn, leading to quicker colonization and less risk of contamination.
    5. Maintenance Mode: Once you're satisfied with the mycelium growth, reduce the air pump usage to maintain the culture. Run the air pump for 30-60 minutes every 8-10 hours to prevent hardening and keep the mycelium active until you're ready to use it.

    Why Oxygenation Matters:

    Oxygen is a critical factor in mycelium growth, and by oxygenating your liquid culture, you ensure faster development, healthier mycelium, and an overall increase in yield. Traditional liquid culture setups often limit oxygen exposure, which can slow down growth and lead to less vigorous mycelium. The Active Air Liquid Culture System addresses this by continuously supplying oxygen, which not only boosts growth but also improves the texture and usability of the culture when it’s time to transfer to grain spawn or other substrates.

    By providing the optimal growing environment, this system ensures your liquid culture is always at its best, whether you're a home grower or running a larger mycology project.

    Maximize your yield and streamline your mycelium growth with the Midwest Grow Kits Active Air Liquid Culture System—your trusted partner in mushroom cultivation!

    This is one of those products that you need to see to believe! I was on the fence but after using 3 of them for the last week, I am amazed! My mycelium grows literally 5X faster and completely changes the shape into little jelly pearls! You just need to suck up one pearl to inoculate a whole bag of grain. I wish these were cheaper but after looking up all the parts to make my own, it would cost be nearly $215.00 in parts if I ordered them from Amazon or other places. Granted I could make 10 lids but I only need a few. I'm getting off topic, just want to say great idea and also I want to comment on how cool and crazy different varieties of mushrooms have such different appearances in this jar! This is something that most people probably won't absolutely need, but if you have a little extra cash and want make a Liquid Culture jar, it might be worth the upgrade, especially if they ever put this on sale.. cheers!

    Picked this up on a whim, I am on day 4 of expanding one of my favorite strains and this is getting interesting! I have never seen mycelium act this way. So far so good! I am seeing way much more mycelium in only 4 days versus a standard stir plate. I will update at day 7!

    Got Mine Saturday at Mush Fest!

    That was so cool of you guys to launch this at OKC Fest! I wanna say how awesome this system is! The display you guys had was mind blowing! I can't believe how much mycelium those jars had! I inoculated mine on Sunday and its Wednesday and I am seeing tons of small balls forming already! Incredible! Can't wait for you guys to sell the lids by themselves! I will be buying many!
