Basically to make the crystals look like the ones in the box: use 1/4 cup hot water, mix in the whole pack of crystal mix, but it in a fluted plastic bottle, like a water bottle or an orange juice bottle. The idea is a sheltered growth area prevents the liquid from evaporating, which gives the crystals more time to grow. If you use the little plastic dish, all the liquid will evaporate and leave behind undeveloped crystals. You could even try putting the crystals in a sealed bottle, Idk what will happen. It took about a month for me to grow the crystals like the box.
So did you place the rocks in the plastic bottle? I'm a little unclear about what you used to place the rocks in? I very well could be reading it wrong
Tips: Distilled water, plastic or glass covered container, no disturbances of container, no splash residue on side walls (look up sugar making technique for no false seeds), use a coffee filter to strain the mix, protect from dust. Step 1: Grow some seed crystals, step 2, use these seeds with the goal of them being "the only place that crystals are deposited". Watch closely as you will sometimes have a nice single seed growing, then false seeds will start and begin to compete and often encrust the nice one... Use it repeatedly until you get it right... Instead of using evaporation to control the super saturation, you are using temperature to control it. This also means getting the initial solution concentration as close to correct as possible. Either by weight, or by specific gravity... So this can be done by dissolving as much crystal as it will take over heat. Another trick is to attach a seed crystal to a hair by evaporating solution on it until it is captured, then hang it in the solution. Keep repeating over and over until you get some keepers... The solution will never go bad, and since you filter it each time and use distilled water, it stays clean...
Picked one of these kits up at the $1 store for my 6 year old girl (pictured left) and before I could unpack the rest of my dollar store haul, she had already opened the package and lost the instructions. Hence I went to RUclips in hopes I could find some thinking there was no way someone would put in the effort to do a video on it. To my surprise, I came across yours! Thank you, and I love your summary at the end.
You’re HILARIOUS! Pray-tell, where is Part-2 on how to grow the crystals that are shown on the box and bigger crystals? I need to see the video ASAP, as I’m making crystal clusters and giving them as Christmas gifts. Thank you.
Libra hey thanks I’m not sure where part 2 is. To make crystals like the picture on the box I explain to somebody who asked the same question in these comments a few years ago scroll down you’ll find it maybe I can pin it brb
Holy crap. Crystal explosion. The tin foil ones look a lot more like mineral crystals. Lmao, you set up like you're giving an actual conference. I love it
What's the ingredients in these kits? I use borax, table salt or epsom salt. Borax is easy but don't produce large crystals like I'd like to see form. Wondering what I can use for that
Dan, you are hilarious, yet, informative. I do however have a question that I have not been able to find regarding crystal growing. Perhaps you could lend some insight?
ok thanks, I'm gonna make that video pretty soon.

We had these and they came out disappointing. Later my mom put the whole thing in a bowl and poured a lot of hot water over it, without my knowledge or consent hehe. It completely dissolved destroying what little crystal growth there was. I was like "You ruined it, it's all dissolved!" and she said "No, there's still 2 big ones." They were the granite base rocks lol. I forgot about it for a couple of months as it sat on a shelf. When I rediscovered it, the water had completely evaporated, the inside of the bowl was covered in a thin layer of crystal but there were also a few good sized rectangle/stunted pyramid shaped chunks of crystals!
I made the droney synth part and the research music and theme song is from some corny stock music I got from the access cable station like ten years ago. I slowed the research music down to 60% so it sounds cooler.
this is the wrong way to grow nice large clear crystals. the tin foil is reacting with the chemicals in the solution causing those cottony growths. to get nice large clear crystals you need to grow then from a single crystal seed that is then suspended into a super saturated solution of chemical in distilled water. Buffalo university has an amazingly accurate and in depth 2 part series on youtube that shows you how to do it the right way with Alum. those kits from the dollar store have the right chemical but you need about 10-20 packages to make enough solution to finally get large clear crystals. and DO NOT mix colors! they use different chemicals to get different colors and shaped crystals and by mixing them you wont be able to get a large clear crystal because crystals are pretty much pure whatever chemical. mixing chemicals won't allow for pure crystals to form.
The result is a lot like those magic crystal christmas trees you buy on ebay, sort of cottony. They're a lot of fun but big gemlike crystals are always grown submerged from what I've seen.
Hi, your`s seems to grow more like cauliflowers :D I with kids together managed to read through manual that explained that: 1. grow seed crystals. 2. choose best for you of grown 3. In new substance keep growing your seed to desired form, size etc. Good luck everyone, Manual first :D
I want to be a geological engineer so that I can grow a mountain in my back yard in only a year or two It could probably change the world and the most effective and positive advanced natural modification in probably the earth im only 18 not in college yet but I guarantee that once I accomplish that I will grow my own planet imagine the free oil I could make oil reproduce and the atmosphere richer the globe would be naturally modified to be bigger than it is now moisture from the home grown mountains would have so much moisture to have 100 times more than the earth has now .

How do you get them to look like the picture on the box? I want to know for my little siblings

Thank you! Liked your video, man, clean and amusing. Keep it up ! 💪
I LOVE IT!!! I teach Life Skills... Special Needs kiddos and I will try it YOUR WAYand let you know!!!!

haha glad i could help! happy growing!
Love the press conference on Crystals
Long awaited crystal growth part 1 did not disappoint!
haha I learned a lot and laughed! Thanks Dan
These videos are masterful, bro. For all of time and infinity to enjoy, please let there be more =)
Watching so many crystal growing videos for my sons upcoming science fair project. This one was my favorite 😂
You’re HILARIOUS! Pray-tell, where is Part-2 on how to grow the crystals that are shown on the box and bigger crystals? I need to see the video ASAP, as I’m making crystal clusters and giving them as Christmas gifts. Thank you.

Dansplains: Thanx, that'd be great if you could.
Holy crap. Crystal explosion. The tin foil ones look a lot more like mineral crystals.
Lmao, you set up like you're giving an actual conference. I love it
1st video of yours I've seen and I definitely subbed 😂
THANK YOU MELODY!
great work as always, Dan. did you meditate with the crystals at all or sing to them? i hear that is an efficient strategy.
Will it just keep growing? What if you had a spray bottle of that stuff but then just sprayed it a little everyday?
What's the ingredients in these kits? I use borax, table salt or epsom salt. Borax is easy but don't produce large crystals like I'd like to see form. Wondering what I can use for that
Monnoamonium phosphate
@@richellediallo3628 where to buy that. Is it like ammonium dihydrogen phosphate? I think they are same thing. Wondering which is better.
@@littlefeather9709 ebay. Both names are the same. It's a kind of fertilizer.
I haven't even finished the video but your dry humor is great
Can't wait for part 2!
Definitely subscribing good video bro
finally a Crystal DIY I actually enjoyed lol
Great job Dan
thanks!
Dan, you are hilarious, yet, informative.
I do however have a question that I have not been able to find regarding crystal growing.
Perhaps you could lend some insight?
Shoot !
Can you please please say how to make crystals like on the box?
ok brb
Dansplains I would like to know as well!

Thanks!!
Haha.. How high were you when you filmed the part at the end?! 😄
Yessss! I need part 2!

Dansplains oh thanks, didn't see that. 😂
What is the research music? And the other music?
I made the droney synth part and the research music and theme song is from some corny stock music I got from the access cable station like ten years ago. I slowed the research music down to 60% so it sounds cooler.
Dan Lucal sweet singing
Best kit instruction ever.
You're HILARIOUS!!!
I'm 5 years late and I apologize for that. I love this.

Can you use aluminum foil?
yes its the way to get the big fast outerspace crystals -- if you do it send pics, on instagram @dansplains
The editing is fucking gold.
Tin Foil ? Antique ?
This is hilarious I love it.
Thank you for sharing the journey!!!!
Hi, your`s seems to grow more like cauliflowers :D I with kids together managed to read through manual that explained that: 1. grow seed crystals. 2. choose best for you of grown 3. In new substance keep growing your seed to desired form, size etc. Good luck everyone, Manual first :D
You’re amazing 🤩 wow
Thanks you too!
@6:54 "This is the dream I bought"...
How did you make ones like on the box
Hello, this crystal growth got me thinking about something that really intrigues me... MOSS!!! Can you help me understand how moss grows?
hi @ogericd nice to meet you yes moss growth is fascinating I will try to do a splains about it ASAP!!!
How you do that?
Why do u keep mixing them all together????
Love the new theme song
Its amazing very surprising results
TFS! Fantastic & funny!! Made me lol
This is fucking amazing.
This made my day
Can you use Cosco tin foil
I think so. is it real tin foil? let me know if you do it
What kit is this?
From dollar tree
Please tell me how this works.
working on it, pls like and subscribe.

I was disappointed. Your other videos are lackluster
hmmm, did you watch Yoke Out?
Looks like the coral reef
Holy Spirit!
What do you expect for $1.50
huge if true
Thanks dan
It looks like a coral reef
This fucking guy... xD He needs more subscribers.
thank you! tell your friend pls
I have more than one.
two friemds!!?
No tin foil, all I can find is aluminum.
It's not tin it's aluminum foil ! Not aluminium either, aluminum!
What in the fk.. cant get that time back.
Needs scifi background music
Think borax is way better than these kits though.
Is he serious??
Such disregard...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
WTFH
Fake news
