Power tool free Automated Greenhouse
    #12108542 - 02/27/10 02:37 PM (14 years, 6 days ago)

So I recently got into growing mushrooms as a hobby.  For my first run I did the old ghetto two liter bottle terrarium.  I got a lot of flushes but due to little FAE they were all stunted.  To get over this  problem I decided to build my own automated closet.  I used two of the techs for building greenhouses on here and figured out way to build a greenhouse without using any power tools at all.

Supplies

4 shelf greenhouse
2 CVS brand cool mist humidifiers
1 ultrasonic humidifier
1 Fish Tank air pump
1 Fish tank air pump hose
4 ft 3/4 vinyl tubing
2 Funnels that will fit on the tubing
2 hose clamps (probably not the real name)
a sheet of sandpaper
1 bottle of RTV silicon sealent
1 roll gorilla tape
a roll of plastic drop cloth is nice to have
a lighter
a pair of scissors
a knife
a box cuter (optional)

If you like the way it looks I will right a guide for replicating it.



I am only rocking two shelves on mine due to space and the need to keep it concealed but I would assume it would still function perfectly with the 4 shelves.  I rock 99 percent humidity constantly ( i need to get another timer and figure out the perfect time schedule)

Nice set up, and Bill Hicks is the man! And more guides could never hurt.

Thanks man.  Yeah I guess you are right, writing it up wouldn't hurt.

How much did all of that cost you?

you technically dont need to get as fancy as I did. I spent in the ball park of 150 or 180.  I will write a tech going the cheapest way and then at the end add the bells and whistles.

There really is no tek buy a 2 or 4 tier greenhouse off ebay then technically all u need to do is make a floor with painters plastic, then once you do that u can just put the cool mist humidifier on the bottom shelf..  There is no need to pipe it in like OP did unless you want to of course.

the piping is for FAE.  You could get away with cutting slits in the plastic for FAE but you still might need to fan it especially if you have it all sealed up (also with cutting slits you are releasing humidity to the surrounding area.  But he is right there really is no tek.  adapt a coolmist humidifier so you can pipe the airflow into your greenhouse.  I used sandpaper to rough up the plastic around the humidifiers exhaust, I then inserted a funnel, sealed it with RTV silicon and then let it sit.  Attached a hose to it.  Used another funnel (sealed on a piece of plastic for stability) on the inside of my greenhouse.  Seal as necessary.  Inside of my greenhouse I got a pickle jar with a tube in the lid.  Inside the jar is an ultrasonic mister and a fish tank bubbler.  You just got to figure out what will work best for what you want to do.

Yeah I ran a greenhouse for around a year and all I had was a coolmist on the bottom shelf and I would leave the door unzipped about half way.  The top 2 shelves stayed at 96-100% Rh and the bottom shelf stayed around 92-94% Rh which is still good for cubes.  Also I didn't like the idea of cutting holes in it that is why I left it unzipped and got all my FAE through the door.  Worked good.  I didn't like piping in the coolmist because eventually it will burn the coolmist out.

both ways have their ups and downs.  I guess it is just a matter of what is the best way for whoever is doing.  Their is not a right or wrong way.
