Grow room experiment
    #19370363 - 01/04/14 09:24 PM (10 years, 26 days ago)

So at this point im thinking the greenhouse route (martha tek) is the way to go when it comes to having a almost perfect enclosed sterile room for your grow ops. So its like a 6 by 6 closet with no door. So i installed a zip wall with a zipper door. I have a light in there @5000K, couldnt find 6500K and the lights i have were all free, and i have a fan to run on low. Its completely sealed off to where there is almost no way for air to enter.. Well my last grow got trich, and the monotub seemed as if it NEVER evaoprated air, there was so much air inside, i know it had FAE cuz of the rings around the polyfill, but at the same time idk why i got trich, there is many reasons that i listed on a piece of paper, and all of those reasons could've been why but i fixed all those problems and im gonna try to avoid it the best i can now. I need to figure out a way to get FAE inside my room, like have fresh air running in, and stale old air pushed out, so theres a constant exchange and flow.

Here is what my zip wall looks like


Nevermind the plant cups. I was growing cannabis in that room in the time being then learned that it could contaminate my mushrooms so i decided to not do that.

One thing im concerned about is my clothes, as you can see in one of the pictures in the bottom left. Does anyone think that would be a contaminate problem? my theory for why it is okay is because 1. all the clothes are clean, i washed em, dried em then hung them up in there freshly clean, plus the only time my tubs are exposed to the same air or even exposed to air is when they are fully colonized and ive read that they are strong enough then to be able to fight off any possible contam unless its something serious..

So what i was thinking is maybe have 2 fans  and cut 1-2inch holes in my plastic wall and stuff it with polyfil so that nothing is able to pour in there but itll allow air in and or out. And then have a fan in the room blowing air from a distance in the back of the room at the zipwall so that it forces air out of the room, and then have another fan outisde my grow room pointed at my zip door forceing fresh air in.

OR better yet i will have some flexipipe(just comment if you dont know what that is and ill post a picture) and basically create the fan to be attached to the flexipipe so that the flexipipe is shooting air inside.

OORR better yet have 3 fans... 2 fans are for blowing air inside the closet attached to flexipipe, and blowing air outside the closet attached to flexipipe, then the 3rd fan iniside the closet just for the monotubs.

please help. my room i think is getting way to humid, maybe even getting just a air purifier or air cleaner fan thingy?

there  are many options for FAE in a GH. Some people use cool mist humidifiers or computer fans. I used to use an air mattress pump but it was way to loud. Now I use a hepa air purifier, its expensive and unnecessary but I like it because I can adjust the air flow to get exactly what I want.

Well i ciould honestly just turn that room into a GH cuz its around the same size of a normal small GH. But what would be the point of tubs then? and i dont trust my houses contam levels to make a indoor GH inside this house. When i move i can consider it.

How much are air purifiers?

Everytime i walk into my grow room it feels super humid and stale smelling in there. Will a air purifier fix this problem?

You'll never be able to get it sterlile, nor should you need to for fruiting.

Honestly a closet as a greenhouse is not going to work well unless you have tile floors and a way to remove all that moisture. Just going to get mold everywhere in your closet and room.

Probably got trich before from all that moist air sitting around. Making a perfect breeding ground for molds in your closet. Can't be good for your clothes or house either. 

I would just get rid of that zipper door, and have straight monotubs in there.  The fresh air would be great for them, and you wouldn't have to worry about all those fans, mold, cleaning, etc.  :2cents:


This is telling....

Well id like to do a martha one day maybe just in a room then.

But if i take my zipper door off i dont want to risk contams flowing in. The main reason i added a zipper door is so that it'll hold temperature. it drops around below 60F sometimes in my house cuz i live in the PNW and its very cold during winter. So i put a small room heater inside the closet and it worked well last grow, yet i dont want contams, its making sense now to me how i got trich.

So if i took my door down, kept the heater in the closet to keep it at 70F+, added a fan for air circulator, i should be good?

*note* i open my windows in my room once a day to get the condensation off my windows and prevent mold due to my windows being single paned. With that being said i added my zip door to prevent temp fluxes inside my tubs. is it okay if the temp fluxs?

Itll be fluxing from 50-70 but the only time itd get so low down to 50 is very seldomly, only when i open my windows. I was thinking...

What if i left my zip wall on and only zipped it up when i opened my windows in my house so that itll hold temp in a little better, which is once a day. Anywhere from 1hr-10hrs. Usually between 1-3hrs. So it wouldnt be a gnarly flux, just a flux, daily at that. Which if fluxes arent a problem then idek why i should have it up then

It seems you're making the assumption that the mold is coming from the air. That's rarely the case except while working with sterile media. Aside from contaminated spawn the most common source of mold in properly pasteurized substrate is going to be you yourself inadvertently transferring mold from soil or other sources on your hands or clothes.

That must of been exactly what happened, i found mold during the middle of my grow and had to clean my room, bathroom and house, which is all super close to the closet, and im almost postive i fucked it up while cleaning, but its all clean now, i got some good dry weight and i can start over. im thinking i should just take down the zipper wall :/

So basically once the spawn is 100% colonized in a tub, its almost immune to most things due to how colonized and strong it is... Does this mean i could just put the monotub in my room where there is more air circulation and it wont get contam? as long as i keep it away from mold n stuff. Take to consideration all the normal things that can happen in your room. :wink:

IMO I use an air purifier that filters mold spores and just simply cleans the air and face it towards my FC, shotgun or mono. It's blowing clean air at them. Clean air+air circulation/movement=no stale dirty air. (: I've had no contams but the cob web and that was because my dumb ass was in a hurry to mist and fan and didn't wash up and change. It was minor, but I learned from it. Air purifier prices range depending on what you want, but def get one that filters mold spores. I dumped 300 on two purifiers, 1 for specifically mold spores and shit of that sort ($50) and the other was a tall one that did all possible allergens, dust, and yada yada, they both have adjustments. Tall one has oscillation which is super nice IMO because then if you position it correctly there won't be constant air on the tub making it cold. Set it on the lowest setting, oscillation, and get it to where its only on the tub(s) for like 4-6 seconds Works for me and helps keep FAE constant with CLEAN air. That's how I personally do it. It takes care of your FAE problem. Or even put it in the closet and oscillate it towards the wall so you can keep the tub warmer but still move air and clean the air? Just an idea and opinion! :smile: Good luck and happy shrooming [:

The vast majority of indoor mold spores are found in dust particles. So anything that removes dust also removes mold spores, even if the filter is incapable of removing individual mold spores.

Yes, but I was merely throwing the one out there that picks up mold spores specifically, which would ultimately filter more mold spores than a standard purifier. Either way, it's  a very comforting thing to use on your FC's if you are a fan user. I take no chances xD
