Let me clarify that it's a martha/automated grow shelf type chamber that is in my house. I have running water, just not to that room. I am planning using a 30gallon barrel or tote for a reservoir and running tubing from that to the humidification bucket and then to the swamp cooler.
I don't what fittings or lines to get so that it's water tight.

If you have a farm supply store in your area . Look in the ag spray section they have all kinds of hose and barbed fittings.

For the drip line float valve it already has a compression fitting that clamps onto the hose.

swamp cooler works well the more dry the surrounding environment is - it cools the air through evaporation, while simultaneously raising the humidity. They are very efficient for dryer environments.
The humidifier does provide FAE but from my understanding the input fan on the humidibucket only turns on when the humidity drops below a certain level. Might not be enough considering the humidity will stay high with low FAE

It was explained that the exhaust fan is stronger in order to create a slight vacuum in the chamber. This does not make sense to me, since it should pull additional air through in through all kinds of open slits and cracks. Shouldnt it be the other way around, creating a bit overpressure inside like a clean room?

I have a great Aspen oyster culture I obtained from the wild in AZ. The stuff seems to be impervious to contamination. It's my current best find.

Yea, that would work if you want to push spores out into your living space. You want negative pressure so all the spores are pushed out by the exhaust fan. In the case of a cleanroom, all the air is clean so there is no problem pushing it out into your living area.

SHROOMSISAY01, do you have any sort of filter or scrubber to clean the air coming into your grow chamber? I have a negativity pressured chamber but find I'm concerned the air entering it is pretty dirty. I'm wondering about ways to make it a cleaner space in there. (This question may be better off in its own new thread instead of this 2yr old one)

You really don't have to worry about the air that much. Unless you live where it is very dirty. If the blocks are fully colonized they will not contaminate.

Gr0wer, your chamber is incredible and I hope to recreate it. However, the tek a bit hard to follow and doesn't include the construction of a few of the humidifiers and stuff. Is it possible for you to write a step by step tek? I know this is a lot to ask, but it would immensely help me and I'm certain other forum members get started with some higher level cultivation.
