Cambodia Magic Mushroom Grow Kit Medium 1200cc - Fast-Growing Asian Strain
The Cambodia is a special Psilocybe cubensis strain originating from the fertile forests of Cambodia in Southeast Asia. This robust mushroom was originally discovered near the ancient temples of Angkor Wat and is known for its fast colonization, large mushrooms, and clear, energetic effects. Cambodia is a favorite among growers for its reliable growth and among users for its uplifting, mentally clear trip.
Characteristics of the Cambodia strain
Cambodia distinguishes itself through its robust growth pattern and imposing appearance. The mushrooms develop large, broadly flaring caps with a diameter often reaching 5-8 centimeters. The color varies from light brown to golden, with a slightly glossy texture when moist. The stem is sturdy and thick, resulting in substantial specimens with considerable weight.
What particularly stands out is the speed at which this strain grows. From the moment of pinhead formation to full maturity often takes only 4-6 days, noticeably faster than many other Cubensis varieties. This rapid development makes Cambodia ideal for growers who want to see quick results.
Strength and effects: 4 out of 5 stars
With a strength of 4 out of 5 stars, Cambodia offers a powerful but manageable experience. The effects are characterized by pronounced clarity and mental energy that distinguishes this strain from more introspective varieties. Users often report a euphoric, elated feeling accompanied by heightened appreciation for music, colors, and social interaction.
Visual effects are present but remain subtle and pleasant. You may perceive light geometric patterns, experience more vivid colors, and notice a slight wavy effect in your surroundings. The headspace remains clear and structured, making reflection and communication easy. There's little mental confusion or overwhelm, making Cambodia suitable for social settings and creative pursuits.
Asian origin and history
The Cambodia strain has a fascinating history. The original spores were collected near Angkor Wat, the legendary temple complex in Cambodia dating from the 12th century. The area around these ancient ruins provides a fertile, humid climate where various mushroom species grow naturally.
This Asian origin has given the strain certain characteristics that distinguish it from South American varieties. Cambodia is adapted to warm, humid conditions and has therefore developed a certain tolerance for higher temperatures. This makes the strain somewhat easier to grow in diverse environments.
Fast growth and reliability
One of Cambodia's biggest advantages is its fast colonization and growth cycle. The mycelium spreads quickly through the substrate and the first pinheads often appear within 7-10 days of setting up the kit. This is considerably faster than the average 10-14 days of other strains.
This speed makes Cambodia ideal for more impatient growers or those who want to grow multiple strains simultaneously and make quick comparisons. Reliability is excellent, with consistent harvests across all flushes. Even beginning growers achieve good results with this forgiving strain.
Medium format advantages
This Cambodia grow kit in medium format (1200cc) offers the perfect balance for home cultivation. The format is compact yet produces substantial harvests of 400-600 grams of fresh mushrooms over 4-5 flushes. The fully colonized substrate of rye and perlite is immediately ready for use, without extra steps or additions.
What's in the kit
The Cambodia medium grow kit contains a professionally prepared grow box with 1200cc fully colonized substrate. The mycelium is vital and healthy, ensuring vigorous growth from day one. The kit comes with a vermiculite top layer that retains moisture and creates a stable microclimate. With purchase, you receive access to a comprehensive English manual in PDF format guiding you step-by-step through the growing process.
Growing conditions
Cambodia thrives at temperatures between 20-26°C and tolerates a somewhat broader temperature range than some other strains. This makes the strain suitable for cultivation in various conditions. Place the kit in a location with indirect light, for example near a window without direct sun or under artificial light with a day/night cycle.
Daily ventilation is important to supply fresh air and prevent CO2 buildup. Open the grow box daily for several minutes for air refreshment. Keep the substrate moist by lightly misting 2-3 times daily with the included spray bottle. Avoid excessive watering – the surface should be moist but not soaked.
Harvest timing and techniques
Cambodia grows quickly once pinheads appear. Within 4-6 days they develop into fully grown mushrooms. The ideal harvest moment is just before the veil under the cap breaks and the gills become visible. At this point, psilocybin concentration is optimal.
Harvest by gently grasping the mushroom at the base and loosening with a twisting motion. Avoid pulling, which can damage surrounding mycelium. Harvest all mushrooms from a flush within 24-48 hours for uniform quality. Smaller specimens can remain slightly longer if not yet ripe.
Yield and multiple flushes
From this medium Cambodia grow kit, you can expect 4-5 productive flushes. The first flush typically delivers the largest yield with dozens of large mushrooms. The second and third flushes remain substantial, while later flushes become smaller but are still valuable.
In total, you can count on 400-600 grams of fresh mushrooms across all flushes with proper care. After each harvest, submerge the substrate in cold water (16-20 hours) to replenish moisture reserves. This process activates the mycelium for a new flush. Repeat until the substrate becomes exhausted.
Applications and experience goals
Cambodia lends itself excellently to various purposes. For beginners, the strain offers an accessible introduction to magic mushrooms with clear effects that aren't overwhelming. The mental clarity makes it suitable for those who want to "work with" the experience rather than simply being carried away.
Creative applications are where Cambodia truly shines. Artists, musicians, and writers appreciate the energetic focus that opens new ideas and perspectives without losing the skill to capture them. The strain also works excellently for social gatherings thanks to its uplifted, communicative energy.
For therapeutic applications, Cambodia offers a lighter alternative to more introspective strains. The clear headspace can help explore certain themes without diving too deep into emotional intensity. This makes the strain suitable for self-reflection sessions with a positive approach.
Dosage recommendations
For Cambodia, the following general guidelines apply (fresh mushrooms): Microdosing: 0.5-1 gram (subtle mood improvement, no trip), Light trip: 8-12 grams (mild, energetic, social), Average trip: 15-20 grams (classic psychedelic experience), Heavy trip: 25-35 grams (intense, deep experience). Cambodia is slightly less potent per gram than some other strains, so dose slightly higher than with Golden Teacher, for example.
Combination with activities
Cambodia's energetic nature makes it suitable for active trips. Hiking in nature is a popular choice – the heightened appreciation for natural beauty combines perfectly with physical energy. Music festivals and concerts are also suitable, though always be cautious with crowds during a trip.
Creative activities like painting, making music, or writing benefit from the clarity and focus. Dance and movement feel natural and liberating. For social settings, deep conversations with good friends are ideal – Cambodia facilitates open, authentic communication.
Set and setting considerations
Even with a relatively light strain like Cambodia, set and setting remain crucial. Ensure a safe, familiar environment where you feel comfortable. Trip preferably during the day or start early evening – the energetic effects suit daylight better than darkness.
Have a sober person available as trip-sitter, especially for your first experience with this strain. Although Cambodia is clear and manageable, unexpected moments can arise where support is valuable. Avoid tripping during stressful periods or when not feeling well.
Safety and responsible use
Always keep trip stopper (dextrose tablets) on hand in case a trip becomes too intense. Don't use Cambodia in combination with alcohol, cannabis, or other substances. Never use mushrooms if pregnant, taking medication for mental conditions, or have a personal or family history of psychosis or schizophrenia.
Storage of unopened kits and harvested mushrooms
You can briefly store unopened Cambodia grow kits in the refrigerator at 2-8°C, but for optimal results set up the kit immediately upon receipt. The mycelium is then at its most vital and delivers the best yield. Store fresh harvested mushrooms in the refrigerator in a paper bag (never plastic) for maximum 3-4 days.
For longer storage, completely dry the mushrooms. Place them on a rack with air circulation or use a food dehydrator at low temperature (max 40°C). Store dried mushrooms in an airtight glass jar with silica gel packets in a cool, dark place. They'll remain potent for months this way.
Who is Cambodia suitable for?
The Cambodia medium grow kit is suitable for a broad audience. Beginners appreciate the fast growth and reliable results, building confidence for future growing projects. The clear effects are accessible without being overwhelming. Experienced users appreciate the specific energy profile of this Asian strain that differs from South American varieties.
People seeking active, social, or creative trips find Cambodia an excellent choice. The strain is less suitable for those seeking deeply introspective, meditative experiences – strains like Mazatapec are better suited for that. Cambodia shines in situations where clarity, energy, and communication are central.
