How we test
Every score on Psilobase comes from products we bought with our own money and used for weeks — grown, weighed, cooked or carried into the woods.
Our process
We buy it
With our own money from Amazon UK. Free samples are never scored.
We use it
4–12 weeks: grow logs, weights, dates, photos.
We score it
Same rubric for every product in a category.
We re-test
Every 6 months, or when a product changes.
Scoring
What goes into a 9.4
Weights differ by category. Here's the rubric for grow kits.
How we make money
Amazon pays us a small commission. It never changes a score.
- As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases
- Commission is the same whether a product scores 6 or 9
- Research & Safety pages never carry products or affiliate links
- We don't accept payment for placement, reviews or badges
