2.5μm is 2.5 micron 3 micron is about the size of cigarette smoke. I know because I use to use 3-micron aluminum powder to make ground salutes for the 4th of July. But that filter is the same filter in the FFU I am sure.

I hope so too, it wasnt me.


Does anyone have a good link for boxes for the mushrooms? I would like to get multiple sizes, as i want to give out samples to restaurants as i do these trial runs, just to start and get my name out there. I know its better to have waxed boxes too but there is so much shit to pan through online, i never know who to trust or who is the better company.
thanks guys

Look for a local box-making company because shipping will kill you!!

like you buy them used?

yeah i saw that shipping was ridiculous on some of the places. any good key words to use? like waxed produce boxes for sale nearby, or are there other keywords i should add some more specific?

Also bags are just about ready to going into fruiting conditions, so keep your fingers crossed! Since everyone has been so supportive I'll be giving away cultures of everything i grow, since these are most likely non commercial grade (got them from a user on shroomery) i was going to clone the best performers of each strain and if someone is interested ill ship them out to you guys.

I have bought used ones before from a local produce distributor but not in a while. The ones from the coop are new. They go to a manufacturer a couple hours away and pick up a few pallets a couple of times a year and keep them in their warehouse to sell to local farmers as needed

Update

Ran new outlet for the grow room controller and new heater i bought. I decided to go with an oil filled electric heater,there were too many concerns with the gas heater, so out it went. Fixed the pluming feed for the fogging system, sealed up any wholes i had in the grow room and set up a foam divider between the "lab"/"bagging" area, to decrease the sq.ft. for the heater, to try and cut down on the electric bill, and added lights to the lab/bagging area. as always im be hide, i need to get these bags in the grow room like two days ago.

Should be rocking and rolling by tomorrow! fingers crossed!

as awlays thank you for the support.
so the moment of truth has arrived, everything is up and running and i have all the block in the grow room. Luckily today was a warm day, as im running the sterilizer on another batch of blocks and that's on the same circuit as the grow room and for the heater i just received today. I will have to add a separate breaker for the sterilizer so i can run  the heater and sterilizer at the same time, but for now im  making it work.
I added a table extension on hinges so i can fold it down when not in use , this will really help me when im inoculating bags and sealing them. also made a little ghetto bagging set up, not ideal but with my space restrictions its about all i can do right now.

For the bags I'm trying all types of methods to experiment and see what works best for me. i have some top fruiting, side fruiting, some i put upside down, different kinds of cuts in the bags, and placed in all different locations, so im excited to see what happens. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for me!

Hell yea you're getting close now. You got some clients lined up? That was the hardest part for me in the beginning.

You got a way to refrigerate those things when they pop?

I laughed when I saw your bagging setup. Then I had to go and check to make sure my stuff was still there. Your setup looks just like mine did. It works but it is time-consuming. What I did to save a little time is I took a piece of 4" PVC and put a flat cap on one end. Then I sat it on the scale and tore off the weight of the PVC. Then I put my desired amount of fuel pellets in it. I marked where my fuel pellets came to on the PVC and cut the PVC off there. I then put a handle on the PVC. Now I just take one scoop of fuel pellets and one scoop of soy hulls and dump them in the bag. I cut my time in half doing it this way.

One more thing you better get something to keep your grain in. I didn't have one mouse when I started but they got bad real quick. The mice will tear through those bags and have a feast. If that happens you are going to have a hard time getting rid of them.

Keep up the good work my friend, you are doing awesome!!

holy fuck, i have no way of cold storing these things.......nor the room for a refrigerator, shit shit shit, im gonna have to figure this out asap.
as for clients luckily i have a friend of a friend who has a few chiefs lined up for me, so since I'm still in my startup/trail and error stage my plan was to hit every quality restaurant that will let me talk to them, explain to them who I am what I'm doing and offer free sample in exchange for feedback till on a decent schedule and CAN REFRIGERATE THEM.

that's what ill probably end up doing for awhile with the pvc pipe, definitely time consuming. Yeah and too late for me, those god damn mice got into my soybean hull bag, just as you said chewed it right open, so i have to address that but my biggest slap to the head right now is i have no way of cold storing the mushrooms.
