fruiting chamber funk
    #21657566 - 05/09/15 02:08 PM (9 years, 11 days ago)

I have a 40 refer trailer I use as a fruiting chamber. I have good FAE and a big fogger humidifier running that keeps humidity plenty high. I hooked a 55 gallon plastic barrel to it as a reservoir so I only have to refill it once every couple weeks. There's a bit of a funky smell going on right now. I have a very sensitive sense of smell. The oldest sawdust blocks I have fruiting are probably the culprit, although I've only spotted a tiny bit of green mold where I left mushroom butts (oyster). I will move them out soon. It's also possible the reservoir itself is getting a little funky. Anyhow I was wondering if a bit of essential oil on the humidifier reservoir would be an ok thing to do? Maybe some peppermint or spruce oil. Do you think the mushroom pins and fruits would mind? I'm talking like 20 drops in 55 gal.

Essential oil? err... no.  Hydrogen Peroxide perhaps?

i second the H2o2

but also citrus is used as a preservative in many home applications, i dont know if adding lemon oil would keep nastiness from growing in your water bin but it might smell nice :lol:

Yes a citrus smell would be nice if the shrooms don't mind. I feel like they will be fine, but wanted to get some other opinions first.

How long since your last scrub out?  You need to sand wash everything periodically.  I bleach everything top to bottom every 3 months or so.  H2o2 or iodine can help in a reservoir.  A up germicidal light would work also.

Sand wash?  Hand wash?

I think cleaning every week would be good but I need to fill and empty my fruit room every week for that to be easy.

As the ultrasonic turns water into mist it leaves everything else in the tank that will eventually concentrate so completely empty the tank not just top up.

You need to wash down on a regular basis. Spores on a non organic surface just sit there and rot. Eugh!

Aftershave/cologne won't fix not washing for a month!

This is good stuff to know. I noticed the bags I've been fruiting are sticky on the outside, which sounds like what your talking about. I have a pressure washer, and on some level I know the whole 40 feet of the the room needs washing, but I can't do batches nearly big enough to fill up the fruiting chamber, so I have to do staggered small batches, which means it's never empty, which makes the washing problem hard to deal with. I've been growing in this space for 3 month total, so I Have a lot of things to work out, but at least the inside is washable. FRP walls and aluminum floor with drains. Very rugged.

I meant sani wash.  I use 10% bleach in a pump sprayer then hand scrub and rinse with a hose.

If you don't keep the room clean your going to run into increasing contamination problems, especially now that we are getting into summer.  Warmer temps and massively increased ambient spore loads.  With a single room your going to have lulls in production to keep things clean ( I have the same problem)

Reefer trailer sounds like a sweet grow room.  Post pics!

The mushroom farm I visited in Hawaii used one step in their humidifier, which was the same kind I have. One of those hydro fogger things. One step is a chemical free sanitizer often used by Brewers. Anyone else use that stuff?
