(reviewer, Adamo, July 12, 2020) they got directly from the company;
Here are a few tips to growing great crystals-
• With evaporation the solvent creeps up the walls of a glass vessel. Much better containers are made of polypropylene or Teflon, (a plastic yogurt cup or solos cup works well) The solvent doesn't creep up these types of containers. This also makes it a bit easier to remove crystals from the bottom after they have grown.
• stir for 30 seconds in one direction then 30 seconds in the opposite direction
• Stability is key so place your crystals somewhere with as little movement or temperature variation as possible.
• The crystals do not need light to grow so you could place them inside a cabinet if that is easier. If you chose this method, you may want to leave them an extra couple days. (we leave ours for 30 days resulting in 1 1/2"-2" points)

Pro tip: I found that covering the cup while it grew made them grow bigger. I also opted to use a small glass pyrex bowl instead of the silicon cup provided. It offered a better look at it while it grew
