Artificial Ecosystem Idea
    #20917822 - 12/02/14 03:23 PM (9 years, 2 months ago)

What if you were to grow cannabis and mushrooms in the same closed environment? This way, the mushrooms would turn oxygen into carbon dioxide for the cannabis and vice versa. Could this eliminate the need for ventilation for both?

You'd still need to vent the moisture off at the least otherwise things would rot.

Having an enclosed environment probably wouldn't be any better than just having the fruiting chamber sit in the corner of the grow room.

Just my uncaffinated 2 cents...Someone out there might have cracked a way to grow both with awesome results using this method, although I doubt it.

The shrooms would need a chamber, they need a shit ton of humidity, humidity that will cause bud rot.  You could bury some spent sub in your cannabis pots though.

Shrooms actually can grow at changing humidity, like outdoors, (possibe) dry short days and longer moist night. Humidity always rises during night time, except some south-east countries where humidity can be constantly very high. It's just a matter of actual air flow as well. Air circulated humidity is different compared to damp humid environment... I still don't see reason to try build such and environment because building two separate ones is a) faster b) makes more sense.

I bet if you don't grow very airy bud it will going to be mold and you can't get any MJ, shrooms may do fine. So two separate artificial environment, another for cannabis and another obviously for mushrooms. Easier than trying to build environment for both, even it's possible with right cannabis strains. (You people have probably seen some random mushrooms grow even near potted cactus plants etc)

Most cannabis strains are actually breed for indoors, some outdoors, but why risk good MJ to mold for sake of you can grow mushrooms in same artificial environment? ...makes no sense:eskimokiss:

Well ventilated, but moist artificial environment isn't actually problem to build, problem is you have to grow cannabis strains resistant to mold and bud should be so airy, it wont mold so easily.

My climate goes very moist at autumn, humidity will be like +90% or more outdoors. Some strains will do there and grow big colas to cannabis plants, thing is, those strains doesn't yield much even those MJ plant sizes is around 150-200cm. Bud is just not so thick and it can handle autumn rains and humidity, I know lots of strains what is actually impossible to grow there because of late summer/autumn humidity and rainy season.

I think this topic is posted when baked lol.. I'm baked atm and feels like that question is written after a bowl of MJ of some sort.. But enugh of that.. :lol:
:awehigh:

What comes to cannabis, I have tried to grow it in sealed environment, not even young vegetative plants like it. You need air circulation, basically shrooms can be grow in air circulated environment, no problem, you just need to get humid air in as well as you take humid air away from mushroom grow box.

Once my cannabis grow box suffered broken power source to ventilation, in 30min at time after I got fixed the air circulation, grow box was full of condensation water all way the walls indoors, this would not happen without bushy plants in sealed box. Air circulation is very important, no matter of cannabis strain actually. You just can't success with cannabis without ventilation like mushroom growing.

In theory it can be done, but in practice, why try to see effort to build such and environment what basically mimics hot and humid tropic?
Probably you have to build as well two seasons artificially to success with that ecosystem because in general mushrooms starts to grow when cannabis plants is at late flowering stage etc, then when your mushroom season ends, there should be start new season with cannabis. This means you should mimic as well winter short day time and summer longer day, light should be work the way it decreases humidity when it's on and otherwise in dark you should keep it humid. More dark means more average humidity and more light means average humidity is lower.

For example if you have like 9-10hours of light during "winter" in artificial environment there are long humid periods, then when you keep summer and use 14-15hours light on, average humidity will decrease obviously, assuming during light time some powerful light will dry up the artificial environment longer and so on... You probably got my point about.

I am not sure how it works if you keep constantly same light cycle and so on, probably cannabis plants doesn't like it so much compared to artificial seasons as well when this kind of environment feel more like plausible to achieve.
