Its galvanized steel conduit. Where i welded i used rusoleum bright galvanizing spray paint. Cost per foot is .60 its $6 and comes in 10 ft sections. 3/4" is only like $3 but its nowhere near as rigid. Once the totem bags are flushed out ill tear out the totem support and build another set of ladders for the other side.
The only issue i can see from this is my misters. The bottom shelves arent getting misted. I could either hook up a high powered fan to circulate the air with the misters on or re design the fogger head configuration, with foggers on each shelf.

Do you have to spray the grow chamber interior down with a hose daily? I've seen both stamets and RR say this but they never say why.

I was hanging them with 550 cord then a zip tie that choked the knot. I would join the two bags with a 4" 550 cord loop zip tied to the top bag then choking the bottom bag knot.
No i dont spray the walls. I have the fogger go off every hour or so for 5 seconds and it wets the whole chamber.

What kind of wood is your current grow room framed with? The reason you spray the door at rr farm or staments is black mold bluid up. When i was running my humidifier 24-7 each month at the bottom of green house and the door had a bluid up of black mold. Im sure spraying every day is easier then scaping and bleaching once a month.

oh I see, thanks for that tump.
As always gr0wer, I really appreciate it. I've got a nice walk-in grow chamber in progress but no good way to install a proper drain. Should be ways to work around it. Have a "dry day" in the chamber every so often or something.

Wow steal how much did that cost. I alway use the rubber mats. With the water drip trays like barters have behind bars. Take out to drain once a week. I dont know what your set up flooring is rbalzer but what im planing on bluiding is the trays but bigger all across bottow and make a plug that pumps water out with a wine filter pump link to my laundry sink.

its a flat plywood floor raised a couple inches above the normal floor level of the room. One of the walls of the grow chamber is a window so if the water is nice and pools in one place maybe I could simply pump it out the window.
Really though I thought these setups weren't meant to produce much/if any condensation so I don't know why exactly this is a big concern.

I got the steel salvaged for free. Its old industrial fence top rail, 1/8 thick. The floor is concrete and sloped to drain out under the garage door.

New shelving is working out well. Just ordered more foggers to place under each shelf. That should help wet the lower rows and boost pinset and yield. so far my best was 1.6 lbs first flush off a 5 lb block, i also got a 2.7 lb cluster off a 10 lb block. I just bumped up the exhaust and circulation fan, they are a bit more lankey than i like.


Lions mane seem to like the soybean hull mix. I got a lb per 5 lb block, thats including my dumb ass misting them by accident and making the top 1/4 of all the clusters abort and turn brown. Ill be making a lions mane shelf for my next set of bags with poly to protect them from misting. I should see closer to 1.5 lbs per first harvest then.

My floor is always soaked from the foggers. Also i hose and scrub my floor once a week.

Well fuck. I'm just going to deal with these bridges as I cross them I guess. Wait and see where the water likes to go.

You can get a liner then have that go to a sump with a pump

Gr0wer, can you point me in the direction for hose and fittings to run water lines between buckets and barrels? I want to add an evaporative cooler setup.
With no spigot for a water source, it's all blue barrel, bucket to bucket.

I package in 16 quart sterilite totes with holes melted in em and paper towels to soak up moisture.
No water? How do u plan to clean your chamber? You cant run a line out to the grow? For the swamp cooler all u need is a 1/4" dripline and float valve, then a purge pump (tiny aquarium pimp) on a timer for 30 min a day.
