Proper Air Exchange?
    #23391184 - 06/28/16 01:52 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

I have two fruiting chambers.  Chamber A is 26gal Chamber B is 17gal.  I've been informed that my air exchange in insufficient. Chamber A is my current focus. Both chambers are fed air and humidity through a "bubbleh" I built, using a tetra whisper pump. 

Chamber A contains 2 BRF Cubensis cakes, 1 H. erinaceus patch, and 1 homegrown P. ostreatus. I'm gone for most of the day at work, so I'm trying to find what will seem to be the best method for FAE.  My oysters are stopping short, and my lions mane is "coral-ing". 

Should I place some air stones into the chamber to increase the airflow inside?  I'm not particularly interested in trying to build a fan/timer rig, but I also don't have time to continually fan.  Would just leaving the air pump on produce enough flow to push the CO2 out?  I feel it would behoove me to incorporate more air holes with polyfil I suppose. 


These chambers are being relatively frequently edited as I learn more and more.  These are after all my first actual chambers and not just a bucket, so any advice would be appreciated.  Also I am aware I need to at more air holes, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. 

I'm open to all criticism, I'm still learning after all.

yes you want holes on all sides and no pumps, https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/20195542#20195542

fresh air is much more important than humidity, for humidity we just mist the cakes a few times a day.

I'm sorry.  One big thing I forgot to mention is that I'm on the third floor, and my humidity up here settles down into about 35-40rh.  That's why I built the bubbler. 

I will most certainly experiment with Chamber B having an increase in holes and mist though.

that doesnt matter, just add more perlite, 5" should be good.
choking and drenching the mushrooms and sub is not a good option any way you put it.
