    This is surprisingly specific on how you have to complete this project. It is worth it tho. My kids love it! I left mine sit for about 2 weeks or so in a closet we only used for storage so it was not touched at all for the 2 weeks and it remained dark and temperature controlled or neutral. The room doesn't have an air vent so the temperature remained the same at about 68-72 °. I followed the other guys review for stirring 30 seconds 1 direction to mix initially and switching directions every 30 seconds until it was mixed. I think tho mine turned out beautiful that mixing with the boiling water faster would've made it work even better. My water was boiling and cooled slightly before mixing because everything was in solo cups which I figured would melt so I moved to glass to mix then poured into solo cups once slightly cooled to prevent this. Maybe that messed mine up slightly because stability with everything throughout I'm told is key to larger crystals. I would definitely recommend. If you use solo cups please be aware of how fragile these are. Jist vibration from cutting thru the rim of my first one I broke a long crystal off. 😬 I very gently cut right thru the rim in multiple skinny sections then trimmed each section off halfway down the cup to prevent the plastic from tilting inwards because that broke off another small spike at the edge. I then cut down as close to the crystals edge in skinny strips all around to allow me to gently fold each piece out and under the cup which tore the bottom of the cup gently piece by piece to prevent breakage and allowed me to reach gently under the crystals base to lift it from the remaining solo cup. I tried to completely avoid touching any long/tall crystals to prevent breaking them. Also expect your hands to be stained from getting the crystals out if you don't wear gloves. 😆

    5.0 out of 5 stars Rock solid fun little project with your kiddos
    Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2022
    We had success growing all 3 of the crystals and let them grow in our basement where it is pretty dark, no movement and lights on only when we are down there on the weekends with the temp always around 65 – 70 degrees. We followed the included instructions but then used other buyer’s tips (reviewer, Adamo, July 12, 2020) they got directly from the company. The kit comes with 1 growing cup but we used plastic cups (16 oz solo cups) so the crystals could be removed super easy when done growing. We let them grow approx 3 weeks and when the solvent in the cups were almost gone and crystals had grown pretty tall, we gently removed them from the solo cups and let them sit/air dry over night before setting on lighted stand and all worked out great!

    (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)

    Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2023
    My 9 year old son and I had lots of fun with this! The only time he really needed my help was with the boiling water part. We grew ours for 12 days in the kitchen window & didn’t touch them at all until the day we took them out. We used solo cups for 2 of them and the growing chamber for the other. It was fun to see the growth each day!
