My first homemade greenhouse

Hello,
First I want to say a big thank you to every contributors of this wonderful website and forum ! I'm new to the mushroom world (2 years or so) and been learning like a madman on the subject (not just growing).
Here's some pics of my little greenhouse:


I have an ultrasonic humidifier blowing through a pvc holed pipe. A small fan at the bottom right. Some containers with perlite in the bottom of the greenhouse (to catch some of the dripping and retain a bit of humidity). The white you see on the sides are pillow stuffing. I have a little hygrometer inside the GH. I also used some velcro and cardboard to make the doors.
I'm all ears for some tips on how to improve it.
Also I'd like to know how long should that fan at the bottom right be on during pinning initiation? Like does someone know how many FAE per hour my little setup might be able to do approximately?
Have a nice day O/

Lmao...now thats a nice greenhouse...anyways i like where your headed... Nows the time to get a good deal on a 4 tier greenhouse..got one at big lots for 15 bucks they go on sale every year this time.. you can get these for 5 or so at goodwill. The ultrasonics tend to oversaturate greenhouse..there usally used as a secondary humidification boost. These vick coolmist pictured get around 80 % humidity and can run most of the time...the others fan and ultrasonic(if even needed) usally are set to timers to kick on periodically.

once u start growing in it, you'll see what needs to be tweaked. it can be a slow process depending on how much u use it or how full it is loaded.
i don't think stuffing holes with poly will do much. either have them open or tape them up.
for a door, u can get these zipper things that attach to plastic, and basically create a long door in the front. something like this
even with the perlite, u should put it on something, like a large plastic tote lid, a baking sheet tray, or rectangular oil drip pan tray, to avoid anything getting on ur floor.

Hmm, yeah a tier 4 GH seems like the real deal lol :P. My humidifier is pretty awesome though because you can choose between 3 modes (low, medium and high), so I can control the RH pretty well and since it's outside the GH I can let it run all the time.

Problem I'll say now is that you dont want so many separate pieces unless your overlapping numerous times becomes a bitch to figure what's sealed and what isn't
2. Zipper or Velcro for a door
3.your probably gonna need two humidifiers or ultra
Just my two cents from a quick glance and read but good luck I like the mad lab scientist flow hahaha keep me updated mane
