wasn't familiar with taps before googling it just now. So you cut threads into the hole to allow the element to just screw right in? Very cool.

Yea. You need to make sure the hole is straight as possible so the o ring makes a square seal.

I'm assuming this is the model of fogger you got? Was wondering how they've worked out for you. They had some questionable reviews.

They work great. I own like 10 of them and just now finally lost my first unit after almost 12 months of service. The only down side is a lot of wires and power inverters.

Right on. Getting ready to start assembling my minimalist setup :rubhands:
Power inverters? why would you need to switch current types?

Those little boxes on the ends of the power cord are A/C D/C inverters. Each fogger gets its own inverter.

damn, was trying not to ask dumb questions 
Main question I have as I think through my design now is the exhaust. You get by fine with just an inline filter before the exhaust fan?
I oughta just run the exhaust right out the window.

no filter on my exhaust, just a upside down bucket over it to protect me from dropping crap into the intake. I actually stopped using the intake filter too since i was having issues constantly balancing intake and exhaust airflow as the filter clogged. I think ill install a fine mesh screen i can clean to keep bugs out.
The whole grow is moving to a new location within the next 1-2 months, im moving to a 2 car garage house. With that i might revisit the intake, humidity and exhaust configuration.

It's been 6 months and it's overdue for a cleaning. It does build up with spores.

Yea pushing the air outside your room even with a small Martha makes a huge difference with oyster mushrooms. And then there is the removal of hazardous spores from negative pressure.

The floor is graded to where all the water runs out under the garage door. From there an expansion joint soaks it up and sends it underground.

Got a pretty much identical humidifier setup being blown into an RV shower unit encased in plastic sheeting. The exhaust is passive, just a cracked shower window.
But, the good news, its been running for a few days now and I've got multiple clusters of pins forming on my test block!

Trying new shelving. Used 1" conduit welded into a ladder then zip tied the horizontal bars. Ladder is 24" wide and shelf spacing is 15" with 6" on the bottom shelf. I dont think ill use the top shelf unless i start using a step stool.

From watching your older videos it looks like you're trying different options and that stacking blocks wasn't working for you. You'd previously used poly tubing logs but stopped, can I ask what issues you had with them? I'm probably going to start with elm oysters and cottonseed or rice hulls until I'm able to get a clean room set up.
Also, do you reuse your poly bags?

Sterilized sub in short is better than pasteruzied. And stacking was stressing the bags and making the first flush smaller, typically around .6-.7 lbs. Im now seeing closer to a lb first flush with them on shelving.

It looks very nice...
Are you planning on a shelf on the other side of your grow room?
Also what is the cost per foot of the 1 inch conduit?
