ok heres my new idea(awsome!)
    #8507172 - 06/10/08 12:12 PM (15 years, 9 months ago)

so u guys know those big kiddie pools they sell at walmart or ne place like that. well heres my idea instead of using a rubbermaid tub for monotubs and needing 2 or more tubs to get a good amount of shrooms. get 2 of those kiddie pools 1 ducktaped on top of the other so its like 1 HUGE area for ur shrooms...i can picture it now 1000 + mushrooms all in 1 grow box. it is goin to be awsome!
are there problems with this idea???

It would be a huge pain in the ass to remove the top pool thats ductaped to the other one to spray/fan 4-5 times a day....Even 3 for that matter. It won't let light in either.

okay, once you have it made cut out a section on the top and make a flap door at the top. The idea sounds grand, hope it works out if you try it, post pics :laugh:

with some modifications, it could...a misting system set on a timer...plexy window in the trop for light...and a small fan unit, again on a timer...if worried about competing organisms, you could add a cheapy hepa to the fan unit...just thoughts

Definitely set that up to be fully automated. You'll want an air pump, in a HEPA box, capable of pushing out a few gallons of air per minute...

Split the air pump lead into 2 or 3 tubes, and put them all into large tubs of water. This will keep the humidity up, and will require refilling once a week or so.

Air exchange. Fresh air during fruiting is the most important part IMO. You are missing one big thing aside from the others that could theoretically be fixed...The size of your tub doesn't really matter...It does, but it doesn't. Its the method you use, and how well you've refined that method. Look here...This is from just a regular bowl, and the yield is amazing.

Mushrooms needs oxygen just like anything else.

I wouldn't do that man. I mean you could end up wasting a lot of fucking time and money. Trying to push that much air out of those tubs would be absolutely ridiculous with a little pump. If you really feel you can pull it off go for it, but I don't think you know what your in for...

Keeping conditions ideal are hard enough, but trying to pull something like this off. No way.

so is the idea to make it as a double tub, or are you using perlite/humidifiers/fans etc?

personally I think i would want several monotubs as opposed to a monster double tub.  this way you can grow various strains if you want and not have to worry about mixing them up.  it would also help prevent spread of contamination among your various projects.

[H]?

I think it's a perlite type tub... I suggested an air pump in a HEPA box.

BTW, OP: The HEPA box is simply a box that your air pump sits in, with all the openings covered in a good hepa air filter. This will remove most airborne contaminates. VERY important for such a large scale grow! You can make your own for about 30$ at Home depot... Just get a single large HEPA furnace filter, and make a box out of cardboard or something, cut one side out, and tape the filter on.

well right now im doin 3 mono tubs 2 with ban hou thanon and 1 with Tasmanian maybee Puerto Rican. this was more of a thought me and a friend had as we were staring at a kiddy pool. it seemed to us at the time to be rediculous plus i was thinking 1 of the bigger shroms like b+ or Orrisa. lol so it would be a huge tub of huge mushrooms

i think a better bet would be 1 kiddy pool inside of a big ass tent, with a humidifier going and a couple of fans on a timer to push air through every hour or so. you could rig a cool mist up to flow down onto the pool and put the fans in small holes so for the most part it stays humid enough and you don't have to fuck with fanning it.
