Sterilite Plastic Cabinet Grow
    #13491812 - 11/16/10 08:58 AM (13 years, 2 months ago)

Sup Y'all.  I'm new here, but by no means a new grower/mycologist.  I've got extensive experience growing cubes, cyans, and edibles.  Been at it for about 8 years now. 

Anyway, here goes: We've got one Sterilite 4-shelf cabinet with a coolmist in the bottom.  There are filtered intakes up the length of both sides of the cabinet, and three 5v computer fans pulling air from the bottom and expelling it out the top left corner.  I don't have great pics of that yet, but I will.
Shot of the closet.
Open, with trays in place.
Without trays, to show holes drilled for air movement.
Far away shot.
Some fresh LC.

Strains will be Matazapec and Penis Envy.  Multi-spore to LC.  LC to grain.  Grain to pasteurized hpoo.  Then I can start isolating and all that good stuff.  Will post picks of my flow hood and drying setup later.  Two nesco dehydrators are ingeniously hidden in the bottom of a dresser and the flow hood is disguised as an entertainment center. 

Looking to pull some decent weight; I'll have tubs going as well.  Also have a 2-shelf cabinet for incubating jars and two 41qt PC's for the big nasty.

Updates weekly.  Any thoughts?

Not too much to update.  My LC jars, which were knocked up 11/17 are showing growth.  The Mazatapecs jar is exploding with nice, healthy mycelium.  2 days ain't bad from MS.  Detailed picks forthcoming; here is a a general shot of the LC jars as well as 5 grain jars (3 Mazatapec & 2 PE), which were knocked up 11/18:
Not too bad...

The Closet.

I put a few shelves in for my PCs and agar stuff.  Three mono-tubs will sit below the shelf with the PCs.

Things are going well!  We've got 7 jars at about 70%.  They were shaken last night and I expect them to be done by Thursday.  We knocked up 12 more jars; 6 PE and 6 Maz, lastnight.  Also have 5 jars that were hit with spores at the same time as our LC's which are inching along nicely (I emphasize INCHING). 

  A few jars

Close up

Above the FC.  Still waiting for the smaller cabinet to be built.

Order is good.


Well, seeing as how things are moving so quickly, I'd imagine that we'll have some fruits here in the next 10-25 days.  Here we go.....

http:// Here is one I built, they work well.  This one is made from a cabinet that I got from Lowe's. Make sure you have tons of air flow.

The intakes have all been changed to the bottom, with the air being expelled through the top left side.  I think we are going to cut away a bit more of the shelves to allow for better air exchange. 

7 rye grain jars knocked up with Maz LC reached 100%.  We decided to spawn these 7 jars to 8 9" x 13" aluminum baking trays.  H-Poo, supplemented w/vermiculite, coco coir, and rye flour.  Pastuerized for around 3 hours at 160F.  PC full of bags was brought to 180F and sealed tight.  Didn't have the camera handy when we spawned but:

  The jar on the top right was allowed to finish

Close-Up.  Good mycelium.

  the whole deal.

Eight cakes baking..... 

The two shelf cabinet makes a great incubator.

http:// This is a picture of the bathroom exhaust fan, that I use to do fresh air exchanges. This is really the key to making these box's work. This bathroom fan costs $13 at Lowe's. I have my air intake at the top. I also have my humidifier at the top, this allows for the fresh air, and humidity to mix, above the drip shield. The exhaust fan is on light timers, and kicks on every hour, for 15 minutes. These boxes are fully automated. I dont have to fan at all, and I dont have to spray much ether.I

Looks good.  I've got a fan mounted on the top left side of the unit, like so:



Inside view:



You can see the fan in the background of this pic:



I have the humidifier sitting in the bottom of the cabinet:



My intakes are along the bottom of the cabinet, right where the humidifier is.  I had originally planned on putting them all the way up the sides, but I figured it would work a little better (negative pressure wise), with intakes only on the bottom.

the reason I have my exhaust at the bottom, is Co2 is heaver than air, so the co2 naturally drops to the bottom of the box, where my fan can suck it out. The intake air is at the top, because it allows a natural convection, to occur, where bad air goes out the bottom, and good air inters the top, like a giant monotub system.I am afraid your fan is sucking out good air, and leaving the bad air, because your fan is at the top, because your bad air will be setting in the bottom of your box, because of gravity.
