Wood chips you can pasteurize, especially if there a bit dirty, with dirt and microorganisms, spawn heavy. Not so much on the fuel pellets, your looking at lipa tek there so just again spawn heavy and use fast and aggressive colonizers like oysters and shiitake (shiitake will just eat mold).

This whole brake rotor idea sounds wonky man.

So I got a bunch of free rocks and will be using that to fill the rest of the greenhouse.

For heating I have gotten a total of 3 55 Gallon drums.

I will have 1 drum by the front door and 1 drum against the wall and those two will be full of water. The middle drum will be a compost drum. I will have an electict backup heater in the drum for when the greenhouse drops bellow 40F (4.4C) During the day it could be posible to reach temps of 80F. I am debating if I should have a fan set to kick on that would be on the ground at 70F for during the winter.

Trying to think of what to use the compost for besides a garden. Wouldn't have a enough to use it as substrate too often.

With the size of you greenhouse your regular ventilation might take care of the heat build up in winter. Just have to distribute it evenly. Whitewash would help.

I would have to either cut a hole in the fiberglass, dig a hole under the greenhouse to the outside for a fan intake. I have a temp controller all ready that can kick on a heater when need be and kick on another switch for cooling. I just can't babysit during the day.

scaled back until I can justify heating the greenhouse. This can fit 24 bags on it. Not sure if it will be enough airflow for kings.

Fan is running 24/7
The RH control is set to 95% and will let the RH lower to 90% before turing back on. I am still misting the bags.

The pipe has a 90 degree bend upward to prevent direct airflow on any of the bags.

I usually run kings around 85% RH and no or very little misting, too much water and misting can lead to blotch which is very common with kings, especially if you feel there isn't enough airflow.
How are the pinsets looking?

the ones that I was able to case look great the otherones are starting to abort a lot.

I modifed the fan a little to stop airflow from leaking out of the bucket. Put gap filler around the fan. I am having a lot more airflow in the bucket now.

I lowered the RH to 86-84 with constant airflow still. Mist is now shooting out of the top of the line.

I bet you will still have a monster harvest on the one with a ton of pins:thumbup: I am interested to see how your cased vs uncased turns out, everyone has such different experiences concerning it.
What kind of casing did you use?

Have you tried closer to the 90% RH?

Pm'd you.
But just for other peoples reference, I have fruited in 90 RH and it is fine, but I dropped mine to 85% and kept it there when I was having problems with blotch and laying off the higher RH% and water cured it.

Looks like it was from sitting water, that's the predicament where I ran into blotch with kings.

I don't think so, but it is a spreader that gets worse and worse fast.
Do you remember if some water was sitting in that fruit?

I think some water got knocked down when my roommate was moving the greenhouse.

That might be the culprit. I think it's fine, but keep an eye out for more of that stuff, it will be on the caps too, like dark indents.

yeah that reminds me too, he took the humidity sensor out of the greenhouse while I was at school without knowning it. The entire greenhouse was damp as hell when I came home that day.

Just remembered that

:goodburger:

I don't have enough to start selling to restaurants. Been kicked out of one Facebook group (selling group) for posting them there to be ready in a few days. I would like to start making a small return on my expenses as I expand.

Posted to craglist. Lets see how long until it is taken down from there.

Farmers markets are the good outlets, at least in my city it's pretty easy to show up even if you only have x amounts of mushrooms. I'm hoping to get to restaurants soon, I was doing the farmers markets and then started getting super sick from the oyster spores and had a conflict with our buisness name with another business in town. My wife and I have taken a short break on that whole thing but I am setting up an oyster grow at my friends shop since the spores were making me so sick having them near my home.
