Ways to COOL down an area fit for growing mushrooms
    #23352423 - 06/16/16 08:20 PM (7 years, 7 months ago)

I live in Arizona & it's summer time right on. Are there any known methods to reduce the temperature of a cultivation spot for the few weeks necessary to grow mycelium? The temperature here is in the 90s-110 & ideally I would like to have it go down to 82*F max.

I'm stumped how to lower the temperature to start the growing process.

I'm in west Texas. I feel you.


--------------------
How to get started in bulk:
Presto 23-Quart Pressure Cooker
BOD's Simple as FUCK Still Air Box
PastyWhyte's Easy Agar Tek
Munchauzen's Cultivation Video Series
How EvilMushroom666 Prepares His Grains (I use jars with Synthetic Filter Discs)
What is G2G? (Grain-to-Grain)
Damion5050's Coir Tek (I use 5.5 - 6 quarts of water instead of 4. Also ignore step 13 and ignore the monotub completely. The only purpose of this tek is to show you how to make a simple substrate. I also add gypsum to it but not necessary)
Spitball's Monotub Tek (A liner isn't necessary but is useful)
Use 6500k lights throughout the whole process. When you wake up, turn the light on. When you go to sleep turn the light off. It's as simple as that.

So um, I take it you don't have air conditioning?

Somehow I think he's talking about outdoors... in which case I really don't think there's a way to do such a thing.

Yeah. It's summer though. You may be able to do something in the winter, at least start in the fall. :shrug:

Are there any mushrooms native to Arizona? You could do culture work indoors to get spawn ready for the fall and winter though.

Well, I do have air conditioning but it doesn't seem feasible to want to have it turned on for the next month non-stop lol. Also, im growing them indoors & I will be leaving this state in a few months. I want to grow a batch & gift some friends with some before I leave. So I kinda wanna do it now.

Are there any contraptions that can be bought, techniques I can implement to have the temp around my box cool down a bit?

I'm curious what else you intend to do? Doesn't it get unbearably hot inside your place? I've lived in AZ and I can't imagine not having air conditioning on all the time during the summer.

I get uncomfortable and pissy if my thermostat reads above 75F.  :shrug:  It gets just as hot where I'm at.

If you're in AZ I'm surprised no one has mentioned a swamp cooler.

They only really work in low rh dry places but I hear they knock about 20 degrees off the ambient temp

Shit when I lived in Texas there were two air conditioners attached to the house and in July and August they never quit running

Window AC should not be dripping indoors. It drips outside. And they're fine to use.

A evaporating cooler (swamp cooler) works great if you're in a dry climate
