have you blown smoke into your chamber to see if thats really what the air is doing? is there a place where the air is being pushed out?




I have not, however the lid on the tub is definitely imperfect so I kinda assumed it would just naturally push the old air out through the top. I know it's not spinning like a tornado though :smirk:

Do you think it would be better if I drilled a single little hole to make sure the air had a fully unobstructed place to escape?

What's the best way to get smoke into the chamber without it just going all over the place?



iv managed to make a tornado like air current in my GH by simply pointing air hoses into the corners of the GH. I use and ultrasonic fogger for humidity and when it turns on I can see the fog swirling around the entire GH much like a tornado.

i do it when it's empty, tested my pan mono out this way lol. just curiuos because in a traditional mono the air comes freely through the top and is forced out the bottom so theres fresh air moving around at the sub level, i used a party fogger to get my pan mono dialed

Also just realized. We get asked a lot about stealth grows on here.  With some tweaking this could potentially lead to being a nice 'closet grow box' as long as there is a place for air to escape. They also make versions of this pump that are 'ultra silent' though honestly I can't really hear this one.  Figuring out lighting would be one of the main challenges but maybe just a little LED shining into it.  Anne's always raving about blue lights.  :shrug:

I stopped using one as well, got a SGFC too look after these days :lol: However my hybrid monos didn't even notice and with a small adjustment with my poly and my regular monos ain't too concerned either.

yep just looser poly or none at all should cut it(top holes):thumbup:
i like the mono mods i'm seeing these days, i made mine for my pans with 8 1 inch holes and......well i'll go into that another time, nice stuff ET(haha ET)

So elastical, let me get this straight. You did a mono style grow in a tote with nothing but a 5/16" hole for an air inlet hose, with no holes in the tote.




Correct.  Except there are two hoses. One on each side. Let me draw you a picture



I was hoping the hoses on opposite ends of each wall would make a kind of 'tornado' shaped circulation of air though I am aware that this is not how it works in reality.  The first time I did it they were right across from each other in the center. This placement just seemed to make more sense than that.

I do not know the CFM of the pump.  It was the cheapest fish tank pump they had at wal mart with two hose connections.

EDIT: Just checked the model online. It says it pumps 'up to' 1200cc of air per minute.

Assuming that number is roughly accurate it means that an empty tub gets and entire fresh air exchange every 52 minutes.  That does not factor in that about a quarter the volume of the tote is taken up by the substrate.

Even if the pump wasn't operating optimally, say 1000 cc per minute then I'd still be getting a full exchange every hour or about 24 full air cycles a day. If you try and roughly factor in the substrate volume it comes out to an exchange every 45 minutes at 1000 cc per minute or 31 cycles.





Very cool project! I look forward  to seeing the results.

Nice cat!

I've contemplated using an  Oxygen concentrator during fruiting. I'm probably going to try  it at some point and report my findings.

I'm trying to get this right but just can't seem to.
How's your hybrid mono setup? I've tried some 1/5 -> 1/6" holes on top and very loose poly on bottom but I still get chunks of fuzzy feet. :frown:

Fuzzy feet can be genetic. I have had fat ass roubust meaty shrooms still exhibit a little fuzz. Here is a shot of my hybrid monos.


Sorry for the thread jack Elastic, back to our regularly scheduled program :thumbup:

Do you have any links to Anne talking about blue lights?

Without knowing what she says, here is what I know about light, spectrum, and photosynthesis.

PAR stands for Photosynthetically active radiation. Par is relevant to all organisms that use photosynthesis.

PAR is found in light spectrums between 400-700 nm. Photosynthesis peaks when the spectrum is between 420-480 nm.

Most blue LEDs come around 450-470nm: producing prime growing spectrums for photosynthetic organism.

Since mushrooms are not photosynthetic, I would love to learn about their relationship to light and spectrum.

It's cool. I have  just decided on my plan for the new year. I've got some isolates coming up. Let's do a side by side comparison of the traditional mono and the air pumps.

I'll shoot for 5 tubs of each.

Just search for 'blue lights' in the forum search and filter by poster anne halonium. I think that's how she spells it. Gotta get off to work now!

great for fungi and cacti,



great for fungi and cacti,
LOW IR, low heat, low energy consumption,
and now more affordable than ever.

they are very new age......:thumbup:

be warned though,
