Blue and Yellow Oysters + Lions mane set up!
    #23743879 - 10/16/16 08:47 PM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Hello Shroomery :tongue2:

I just received my cultures in the mail today! I got some Hericium erinaceus, Pleurotus columbinus and Pleurotus citrinopileatus and would love to get some input on the set up ill be building!

A buddy of mine is a local arborist so I can get hard wood chips by the truck load for next to nothing. I will be storing them in an outdoor greenhouse, with a tarp on the ground that goes under the whole thing and up around the outsides, in attempts to make it less accessible to mice. I'll be making a trip to buy some organic rye seed this Tuesday, i’ll be coming back with a metric ton because it’s far away and I don't want to make the trip again anytime soon! it will be stored indoors (it comes in nice, manageable totes)

All of the growing will happen in my basement. It's new, clean and finished, and there's a room that I've already turned into my lab. I’m currently sourcing a 24 x 24 x 6 HEPA for my flow hood (man are they hard to find from Canadian sellers). I've bought two green houses to use down there, check out the diagram I uploaded for the dimensions of everything. I figured I should put the yellow oyster and lion's mane in their own tent and keep the temp a little higher than the blue oyster tent (possibly with a ceramic heater on the outside with a timer?)

Some questions:

Does anyone know if wood chips from local trees considered organic?

I just bought some food grade drums, I'll be following RR’s awesome 55 gal barrel sterilizer tek to make something similar and keep it outside. Would I be able to sterilize my grain jars with it? I'd love to avoid buying some PCs

Should I use a cool mist to each tent or one main supply (rubbermaid with fogger) with PVC piping to each tent, and more importantly, should air be piped IN or OUT of the windows?

There is no there is no floor drain in the grow area. We'll be covering the floor of the green houses with tarps and sheets of this material that feels like a whiteboard. Anyone see problems with this?

Will post pictures as we get this set up! Thanks again everyone.

Welcome to the Shroomery!  :wave:

I read when RR was getting organic certified, he used trees he felled from his own property and had to sign a notarized statement that the trees hadn't been treated with unauthorized chemicals for a period of 3(?) years. 

I would buy at least one PC.  You can steam sterilize grain - I think Solarity does this with his stasteulizer - but grain goes pretty far for oysters. 

Your FC's are pretty big, so I'd skip the cool mist.  The air should be piped both in and out of the windows.  I would also run two separate foggers to your chambers.  If a fan or a fogger dies with your current plan, you're SOL. 

I'd figure out a drain.  Maybe build a false floor.

Also, you should watch Gr0wer's vids.  They're extremely helpful.

Good luck!

Thanks for the link, I checked out his other videos too they're great.

shroombasa, thanks for the info and nice flowhood! :eek:. I've got 3 PC's but they are only 7, 9, and 22 qt ones. I love the thought of getting all my jars sterilized in a couple runs with the drum sterilizer haha :grin:. So to have air coming in and out are you suggesting something like a PVC pipe exhausting the mist and a window fan with piping + a filter of some sort that brings in air?

A small update from last week:

I ordered my 24 x 24 x 6 HEPA for $300 CAD, it just came in the mail and now I'm trying to source a blower.. Things can get pretty confusing as I'm seeing "450 CFM @ 1'' S.P" recommendations but a lot of the blowers I see in posts are around "450 CFM @ 0.100 In. S.P" when searched on the Grainger site, such as the Dayton 1TDR9. There are very few that I see which are actually 450 CFM @ 0.800-1 In., plus they're all $300+ which is more than I thought they'd be!

For dealing with water I'm thinking of building a 'floor' like this that the greenhouse can sit in:


Basically a wooden box coated with outdoor water proofing/sealant. Anyone have a better suggestion for tackling this obstacle?

Heres a picture of the organic rye seed (they only had 1200lbs) and the 160kg of organic wheat bran that we bought that day as well.



We also found our first customer that want's to buy large quantities of dried oyster mushrooms, will need to do some more research on what price we should be charging them.

Thanks Ferather.

I've narrowed the blowers down to these 3:

https://www.acklandsgrainger.com/en/product/BLOWER-PSC-2-SPEED-115-VOLT/_/R-GGE1TDT8

https://www.acklandsgrainger.com/en/product/BLOWER-PSC-115-VOLT/_/R-GGE1TDT5

https://www.acklandsgrainger.com/en/product/BLOWER-PSC-115-230-VOLT/_/R-GGE1TDU2

However I'm worried about the notice that these products have on the grainger.com website:

Quote:

This product contains a chemical that is regulated under California Proposition 65.

Warning: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer.

Warning: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.




Does anyone have any input on the warning and which blower seems best?

You can get cheap blowers from Surplus Center. Think I paid $40

Make sure it is not seed wheat, it is often treated with fungicide.

A large farm (200lbs+ /week) I visited basically built decks; using PT framing members and joist hangers etc. They then put down 2 layers of overlapping coroplast sheets on the decking. They shimmed three corners to give themselves a low point and drew off water with a sump system cut into the low corner. Liberal amounts of bathroom caulk and tuck tape were used to make the tents on top positively pressurized; to reduce potential contaminants and ward off flies.

You have no space assigned for incubation on your floor plan. You also have no space for raw materials storage and bag or straw log prep. Take a look at my new 2 car garage layout video that has an excellent workflow.
