Care to explain the different levels?

Is the plastic tote just a stool or is there stuff in there too? Looks cool

The tote holds clean water as well as a 10 head ultrasonic mister,(picture bellow) which uses 10 piezoelectric transducers for a high frequency mechanical oscillation just below the surface of the water. This vibration creates a very fine fog that is instantly evaporated into the air.
It also contains an aquarium heater to keep the temperature of the water about 28 degrees Celsius in order to avoid throwing off the inside temperature of the grow tent.
Installed into the lid of the tote is a small waterproof computer fan (covered by a plastic bag with holes poked into it, to trap the humidity inside the tote) that blows the fog out of the tote and up the dryer vent tube into the grow tent.
I also have a small heater and fan inside the grow tent. Both are plugged into an Inkbird thermostat allowing me to maintain my desired temperature. My homemade humidifier also runs off an Inkbird humidity controller.
I also have the light inside the grow tent running on a 12 hour timer making this set up fully automated, maintaining ideal growing conditions and allowing me to go about my week without concern for my plants and/or fungi. Once a week I clean the system and change the bag over the fan to avoid bacteria build up and change the water in the tote.

I used to have a mini grow tent like that for my T5 bulbs for the seedlings :feelingfunky:

Wow dude, it was a few years ago. Went up into the attic a few weeks back - I must have thrown it, because I only had my 3 big grow tents up there. And some air cooled 600W bulbs and expensive ballasts. Full hydroponic kit. I used to grow monsters, 8oz per plant :thumbup: (until my daughter became old enough to be aware!)

Back to the question! The mini grow tents are under £100, and the T5 bulbs from memory were quite expensive, but again must have been under £100. But I’m sure you don’t need T5 bulbs for mushrooms, though I don’t know I use sunlight. Reckon it would be easy to set up an automatic mister and fan; discrete and automatic. If only I had loads of money lol.

Mind you, I only grow for myself. Just replenished my mini fridge, and just about to start my first grow from single sector agar. So should have a couple of monotub with monster flushes in the next 3 or 4nweeks :awesome:

I’m imaging a few hundred dried gram equivalent fresh tea ice cubes. And maybe a kilo dried.

Should do me for a couple of weeks :notreadyforthis:
