11x34 ft Fruiting Room Questions
    #26533751 - 03/14/20 12:44 AM (3 years, 10 months ago)

Hi Alll!!!

I am currently building a new building housing all of my fruiting.  The building is broken up with the fruiting, and a control room.  Total building is 11x40x9 with 11x6x9 dedicated to a control room.  This control room houses the HVAC, humidifier,fresh air intake and thighs like that.  I have a hole in the top of the wall that separated the 2 rooms.  This hole is to house the disposable ducting  used to bring in fresh air down the middle of the grow room.  This duct has holes in the sides shooting air outwards towards the walls.

A few questions I have as I am upgrading my current grow substantially, and some of the controls and fans I use new, may ne be ideal for a much bigger fruiting room.

1. Soft Water and Mushrooms - My current grow is on city water and they love it.  New grow is on a well.  My water is is pretty hard (23ppm) and I will need to get s softener to protect the buildup and such on the humidifier, sinks. etc... by adding salt tabs

Is the soft water bad for the mushrooms during the fruiting process? i.e. running through my humidification?

Is soft water bad to make substate and grain with?
I
I imagine they would not like it during colonization , but I: figure :I would ask.  I really would just like to put it in my humidifier as it is a very nice system and I don't want to mess it up...

2.  Circulation Fans-  I currently use several small computer sized hurricane fans with 100 CFM.  I use these for ease of cleaning and they get the job done.

Are there any other heavier duty fans used for circulation and also easy to clean? 

Any other tips from someone who has experience with a grow room this size would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

I can't answer your water question with certainty but I think well water will work great for mushrooms.

What style humidifier are your using?

I have noticed that vacuums have fairly strong blowers that could be used as a heavier duty circulation fan. Often I see vacuums being tossed, it's an under used resource.
