All I can say it my humidification system worked 3 times longer with an intake fan and I could not keep the humidity where it should be. I switched to passive intake and it solved the problem. I do not remember who suggested doing this it was a long time ago but the suggestion helped me a lot. The double slit experiment doesn't make sense either but its true.

I would definitely run your fans 24/7 if you plan on fruiting oysters or Lions Mane. Check out my Greenhouse Build - definitely get a humidibucket intake and have a fluctuation in rH on a Humidity Controller. In my thread I detailed all my tweaks and problems and solutions and the result was being able to fruit perfectly about 14 bags at a time - you may be able to get away with more.

The biggest thing is learning how to read your fruits - the mushrooms will tell you what they need in an interpretive dance as they grow, learn to understand them and constantly tweak your set up til you reach perfection.

I found that a fluctuation of 89%-96% humidity worked best.

Anyways here were the results of my GH

I have my room at almost exactly the same humidity. I built a high-pressure misting system from a pressure washer for my room 10' x 4' x 7'(LWH). I just harvested and got 2 lbs off each 6 lb bag 1st flush. 2nd flush is usually between 3/4 and 1 lb and my fruits are as big as my head with almost no stip. I am happy to be over 100% BE.

Anyway, I just wanted to say good job TravelAgency Those are some nice fruits. I learned a lot from Eric Myers (Gr0wer) also. I would not be where I am at without his help!!

2lbs of 6lbs is a great yield, good job mate! When I had my farm going I was getting about 1.5lbs per 5lbs block with my better producers.

Yeah Gr0wer, MorePies, Mycolorado, SpeakSoftly and JanuaryWolf, Solarity, Lipa, Drake, Hamloaf - too many wonderful mycologists have helped me get to where I am today.

Wow, Thanks for all the great info guys!

It's great to hear from you on this TA :thumbup:

I'm going to have this thing dialed in like a boss!

Good to see you too! :wave: My phone is currently busted and I'm just getting over a pretty hardcore break from mycology after the farm fell. But my PC has been running since 4pm yesterday :lol:

Awh man, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm out of the loop...

It's great your back at it and enjoying again!


*edit, my circulation fan crapped out. I put a new one (I have a box of old fans) close to the top shelf of the GH. I notice it doesn't pull the mist up as well. I'll keep an eye on it and take some humidity readings though.

The old fan was right below the cool mist output, it moved the mist better but was also probably the main reason it died so quickly...

**edit, wasn't pulling the humidity up. Moved it back down and it's better. I had to be careful, if the circ fan wasn't directly below the mist output it would pull the mist down, through the fan and THEN up. Now it pulls air from below and blows the mist up.

I'm just getting to work on dialing in a similar setup for king's and other oyster, hopefully some lions mane.

Sweet martha unit :smile: Was it easy to join the zippers onto the plastic (hot melt glue pre-applied?)? I'm gonna use magnetic strips (for insect gauze situations) to make a door in a big grow tent with plastic.. If it doesn't stick very well i will just seal the strips in a crease in the plastic.

gl dialing in

looking good foodguy, I wish you luck dialing that in! Let me know how it goes :thumbup:

Solipsis, my zipper is a stick on, construction zipper. They sell them at Homedepot. It's a very strong bond. I could see for added security and strength you could re-enforce it with more tape. Like the red Tuck tape (that shit is SO sticky).

But so far it has been holding well with all my opening and closing.

All the tape on mine is gorilla tape for extra strength. And I did just that with the zip walls, I put tape on the plastic first, then the zip wall. Cut and trimmed excess. It's really pretty damn strong.

I'll be using a computer fan on a time for exhaust and a DIY humidification bucket on a humidistat. Should dial itself in pretty well.

I used one at my farm and it worked great.

Things are looking much better I think. I increased the air exchanges per hour and I have my cool mist + circulation fan on 24/7

Looking tight!
