Cleaning is a bit of a chore. I really want to make either a harvest cart or a rig to strap on that holds a tray of fruits and a trash bin for trimmings. Right now i kick around a 5 gal pail for trimmings and have a small tote sitting on a pail for fruits. I have the fan on now and bumped the RH up from 72% to 76%. I did notice the fruits on the logs closer to the exhaust have much longer stems. Makes me wonder if i should increase the fan size on my king oyster fruiting chamber and add a circulation fan....

Kings will be wanting less O2 rather than more.. assuming you're going for thick stems and small caps

Fruits look good, but I'd opt for a small regular cheapo house fan for circulating your grow room air. No sense in trashing a more expensive inline fan with spores and humidity.
Also uncased kings on straw are oh so sweet!

Its not a fancy fan like my intake and exhaust, just a $30 inline duct booster fan. It was slated to be my exhaust originally then i realized it was too loud and didn't push nearly enough CFM.

I do have two logs of my lime pasteurization trial in my martha, more to come on that soon!
somewhere around 20 lbs of blues to sell tomorrow!

Just moved big bertha in to make room in my pantry, almost at full capacity!! Just have 3 spots open on the right side.

Big bertha was a bitch to move, i felt like it was going to split in half while carrying her. Luckily the wife was there to help hang her. The only nice thing is she makes amazing efficiency of grow space in the chamber. I'm thinking about sticking with the smaller bags but attach two together using a loop, hang them end to end like sausage. That will double my capacity without killing my back. Until then ill keep growing my old pink oyster bags on the floor to make use of the space.
I just mounted the 8" inline fan for circulation. Its located in the corner above the intake fan to help distribute the fresh air.
How often are you running that fan for circulation?

I have all three fans going 24/7 intake, exhaust, and circulation fan. They are all on max setting except the exhaust which is dialed back just a tad since there is restriction on the intake fan and little on the exhaust.
norton01, on the build side im pretty much done. I just need to build a more permanent exhaust fan mount and duct. Im also looking into ditching the orbit mister for better commercial greenhouse misters for better coverage.

just placed an order for these DIG 4 outlet foggers total cost $30 for 8 heads and a relief valve. I plan to make a home depot run tomorrow to buy myself a new toolbox, while im there ill pick up some PVC pipes and a home water filter. Plan is to run 3-4 foggers on each side about 3' apart.

Also i rigged up a trial bag for two tiered logs using zip ties and stainless S hooks. I suddenly went from 80% capacity to 50%!! Need to make more spawn and logs!! With this system i can fit ~1200 lbs of substrate in my 77 sq/ft room.

That's awesome!
I would love an update on how those foggers work, I have lots of plants that would appreciate much more humidity but standard cool mist and evaporative humidifiers aren't cutting it.
Those logs are beautiful

Home depot has an ok deal on the filter housing, but the carbon filter cartidges are overpriced imo.

not the ultrasonics, he is talking about the new misters i ordered so i don't need to manually mist as much. My orbit misters are too directional and only get spots.
 http://www.sprinklerwarehouse.com/DIG-Drip-Irrigation-Fogger-Assembly-p/50-504-10-0.htm
Yesterday i noticed the logs on the opposite corner of my circulation fan were drying out from excessive airflow. I thought up a handy use of poly tube as ducting. I'll attach my poly tube to my 8" duct fan and hang it along the top rail with vent holes every few inches to evenly distribute airflow across the chamber.

dished out $90 for this utility cart to use as a harvest cart. The red pail is trash the blue pail is small or funky fruits for me to eat or dry. I can fit 6 full totes on the bottom and 2 on top. Should make harvest easy.

Circulation equalizer installed. Seems to be working well. 2" holes every 7-9" one pointing down one pointing across.

Used the harvest cart for the first time. Works real well. I might look into replacing the non caster wheels with caster wheels so it can be pushed sideways.

Let us know what you think of those foggers. I am using these- http://www.dripworks.com/product/MF4W/misters with a water solenoid valve hooked up to my humidity controller. Solarity pointed the controller out to me. The foggers work great and can be completely disassembled for cleaning, but I would like the female 1/2" npt option better.
