Mushroom tent pics and 1st result
#27127025 - 01/04/21 08:12 PM (3 years, 23 days ago) |

Got 99% of the items needed for my legit grow tent setup. Wanted to include pics of the setup and some first results with buckets.
Tent is 32x32x62. Have 4" vivosun fan - 195cfm - plugged into infinite cycle timer to refresh air 6 times an hour. My humidifier is my weak link, as I'm waiting on one more part so I can setup a 5gal mister, my 3disc fogger is waiting in a box at the moment. The humidifier is hooked up to my digiten humidity controller set to run at 70%rh and turn off at 82%rh. Will bump that up when I finish my humidifier. Led light strip is 6000k and waterproof. Plugged into a timer for 12hr on/12hr off. The exhaust pipe is currently drier venting which I plan on upgrading to 4" PVC shortly. Cut my 4" hole through an old coal chute in my basement. Lastly, I need to get a drier vent set up inside the FC so when the fan draws air in, it opens and then closes at shut off. That's called a damper I believe.
I just started getting some mushrooms growing in buckets. I'm curious what you think if these. They don't look perfect, but maybe keener eyes can spot ways I can dial in my setup. Do these mushrooms look okay? More fae needed, or higher humidity? The FC is hovering around 60-65F right now, so maybe its a bit cold for Blue oyster. Keep in mind, I grew these from throwing an old mushroom kit into pasteurized straw.
Would love feedback 👍🍄👍

Got a flapper on the inside of your tents exhaust port? Keep your humidity from leaking when not doing FAE. Also since your exhaust is ported up you might get condensation buildup in the tube. May need to pole a few holes and set a drip pan to circumvent it falling back into your fan.

That's the word, flapper. I/m grabbing one today. Good point in the holes with drip pan for now. I'm pretty rural so finding some of these things is challenging. Thanks
Edit: just thinking, a flapper for the exhaust port and one for creating an intake valve on the tent. Right now it's sucking in the walls because it's trying to draw fresh air from a closed tent. So the flapper on an intake should solve that. Didn't think about the exhaust port. The store carries a rectangular flapper for external of a house, like a drier vent. That works for the intake, but not sure about how to get on for the exhaust port. Can you make a flapper pretty easily?

That's why I said +/- pressure fans. You prob won't need a fan for the + pressure in since your tents small. Just reverse the flapper on the + sides air intake mirror to the - side so it only flaps when sucking in air instead of pushing out. Here's what I got from the hardware store near the dryer vent stuff.

If you are having problems with water dripping I would use a condensate pump and pump it to a sink or out a window that way you will not have to deal with dumping a pan or bucket. the pump will only turn on when the water get so deep you can adjust the depth...

Nice work. Jumping in here. Im having trouble keeping surface conditions of trays in a tent. Humidity is through the roof. I am using a disc fogger as well and it has no trouble pumping out enough fog, I have had to turn it down. Its set up within the tent and a fan blows it up a pipe near to the ceiling going up in the middle of the tent. surely if the humidity is high like a 100 for most of the time then the surface should have slow evaporation , when it is in fact evaporating really fast.

try pumping it in the bottom of the tent as humid air is less dense and rises.

Is it due to density that its rises? Im no expert Obvs! But wouldn’t humid air be denser, due to the extra water content? Educate me!

I think ultrasonic humidifiers make sufficiently small droplets that quickly evaporate into water vapor humidifying the air. some of the larger droplets will work their way to the bottom while the humid air will be rising to the top.

Just ask yourself this question what are clouds and are they low to the ground or high in the sky?
Taku whoever helped you set up that tent sure knows what he is doing. Short stipes tell the story your tent is set up perfectly!! I am very happy to see results like these.

I bet you do not have a circulation fan in your tent. A circulation fan will make the room have even humidity from top to bottom. It will also keep co2 from building up around your mushrooms and causing long stipes.

Nope two fans, and was due adjustments soon anyway. They can be adjusted correctly now. I have a much better idea of the problem. I don’t need to ask myself about clouds just needed the obvious pointed out!! Thanks

That's my whole point its obvious clouds are humidity and they rise.
Where do you have the fans? Are they exhaust and intake or do you actually have a circulation fan?...

Thanks shroomsisay! I'm watching things closely now because I finally got my bucket humidifier set up so it will change the conditions. Hopefully for the better. I upped my humidity some and the thing blasts in humidity so I'm getting a higher RH after shutdown than with my basic humidifier.
Will keep you posted.

I cut off my system at 90% and it continues to rise to 97%. MY system comes on at 89% so it stays between 89% and 97%. The humidity sensors are not fast enough to read the humidity. My room goes from 89% to 97% in like 10 seconds.

I'm just using pasteurized straw. These are actually old grow kits that I grew out into buckets.

Okay, so I can dial up my humidity then.

I'm curious about pasteurization but straw is not a commodity here in Louisiana. They use pine straw and I'm not sure that'll work. Do you supplement it?

I'm living in rural ag country in Canada so there is straw everywhere. I didn't supplement it, but it's oat straw, so maybe that makes a difference.
Gathering materials to switch to making blocks however.

I've got the same size tent and have been running it with a single disc fogger in a 5 gallon bucket with great results. I also opted for a 4 inch inline exhaust fan but it only pulls 90cfm. For lights I used some cool white led icicle Christmas lights I had laying around.

I use hydrated lime in a cold water soak for 12-24 hours to pasteurize straw for my oyster buckets. It has worked very well with 2-3 good flushes.
The lion's mane was my first test of using buckets for fruiting. I used aspen shavings(pet bedding) inoculated from a sawdust block. I didn't think pasteurized straw was a viable option but if it is maybe I'll experiment with it a bit.

Looks great ShutEye! I realize now my 3disc is overkill for my tent size, but maybe it will just push me to grow bigger 👍

I did my lion's mane on leftover shavings from the planer at the school I work at. It was a "wtf why not try it" trype of decision. And it worked!

Grow bigger. Dooooo it! 2x4 frame up a tent its relatively cheap just time consuming. You can get an 8x8x8 space. Think of the grow room possibilities in 3 seminarians with shelves. I'm so stoked to get mine finished so I can get back to making bags.

If you have the same luck I had with the foggers they start off great and then cut down to about half of their original output then just crap out completely. You come into whole new challenges when making a bigger room and since you have everything going so well I would just keep things as they are until you need more mushrooms. Your fogger will just run a shorter amount of time which the shorter time the better.

Not sure if straw is successful. They like wood. You should be able to find some somewhere nearby.

I thought you used just straw for all buckets, so how is that lions mane bucket made? I have never seen LM on buckets because the sawdust must be sterilized from what i have read.

I just pasteurized the wood chips by dumping boiling water into them while they were in a tote, and then let them cool overnight. Afterward I layered them in with LM sawdust block into the bucket.

Teeth are long enough to be dropping spores. Best to harvest when they are about 3/16" long. Pick em.

Hey there... I love the setup.. has it served you well ? I am about to setup a 8x4x6.5 in a baseament that looks nearly the same as yours and I've decided to pretty much follow your design. Do you have any problems with humidity buildup in the exhaust duct or fan? Is the vivosun fan plastic interior or metal? I'm worried about upkeep and cleaning. The tent I think I will use will be bigger so would a larger exhaust fan make sense? Lastly does this setup require a dedicated intake? or is the fogger line considered the intake which brings fresh humidified air in? I really appreciate any insight as I know this is a older post... Thanks for your time yall!
