What do I need to set up this large tent?
    #27127495 - 01/05/21 04:08 AM (3 years, 23 days ago)

https://www.growell.co.uk/grow-tents-sheeting/grow-tents/bay6-hc-3m-x-3m-grow-tent-300cm-x-300cm-x-240cm.html

Once the tent is constructed, what else do I need?

Shelving, lighting, humidity and temp.. I can figure out shelving and lighting but how do I go about getting humidity, temp and air flow right in this thing?

Thanks, mush love

You'll need a fogger for humidity. You could go with a bin fogger, but would benefit from using a fogger with 6+ discs most likely. You'll find YouTube videos going over how to build that pretty easily.

You'll want to hook up your fogger to a humidity controller that monitors the relative humidity (RH). The controller allows you to set parameters for operating the fogger, so to kick in at x%RH and turn off at y%RH.

You'll need a timer for your lights, those are fairly basic and easy to find. A lot of people do a 12hr/12hr cycle of on/off.

You'll also need an exhaust system.  You want to be sure you are venting the air from the tent outside as you don't want spores in your home or building. You can find 4" fans for a good price. Vivosun sells some on Amazon and other websites. There are 4" bilge fans that are less costly and waterproof as well. I use a fan with 195cfm for my small tent, so consider higher CFM for your bigger tent, or you could always have it turn in for longer.

You'll need an infinite cycle timer to plug your fan into. Set it up to refresh the air in your space 6 times an hour.

Use PVC for exhausting your tent since the drier vents work against your fan and can collect water over time. It's also a good idea to exhaust from the bottom of your tent rather than from up high. But it all depends on your space.

Great info!

Why should you exhaust from the bottom of the tent? Is this to get the CO2 out?

Taku gave you a lot of good info!! But for that size tent, I do not think a 6 disk fogger is going to be enough. I had a 9 disk fogger and it was not enough for less than half the size of that tent. You will probably need two 12 disk foggers (expensive) You might want to think about the high-pressure mist kit I have it uses a pressure washer and can be installed quickly. I don't know how much mushrooms you are wanting to grow per week but in that size tent, you are talking a lot probably around 400 lbs a week.

The reason it is best to exhaust from the bottom is spores fall so the spores are more likely to exit the tent if the exhaust is at the bottom.

Ugh not big enough.. sorry of my life 😅.  I bought a 1 disk fogger to play and test.  Quickly learned and got a 6 disc for a 4 rack 2x8ft shelf tent.  Considering scrapping the shelf and just making the 9x9x10 room a tent.  Already upgraded my tote box to a 55g drum and was considering the fogger capability for the room size.  Thinking It would have to run almost all day which isn't a problem short of it burning out.  I'll test it before I upgrade the fogger and post results.

When i make foggers i like to use a smaller tote so that it's easier to clean. something about the size of a 66qt. I clean mine and refresh the water once a week. otherwise it gets weird... :uhoh:

Don't be like me I went through two 9 disk foggers in 6 months at $300 each. For that size room either build you a high-pressure mist pump or buy my kit. With either one there will be no cleaning. I have a 10 x 4 room and the system only runs for 10-15 secs every 10 mins or something like that. I would think it wouldn't change much with a bigger room because you would add more misters. For that size room you will need at least two 12 disk foggers. At first the foggers put out a good amount of fog. But after a month or so it cuts in half. I hate them and they are expensive...



Where to buy the pump...

If you decide to build the pump I have the tubing and the nozzles and connectors you want just PM me. I sell them cheaper than anywhere you will find and mine use the compression fittings with double ferules. DO NOT BUY THE PUSH TO CONNECT NOZZLE CONNECTORS.
