Automated mini greenhouse setup * 1
    #28394496 - 07/13/23 02:40 PM (1 year, 6 months ago)

Not sure if a tek was posted but here is how i built my automated fogger fruiting chamber.


get a mini greenhouse like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Worth-Greenhouse-Portable-Sturdy-Gardening/dp/B09H72HJ7H/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2CVFDVJ2XCVQS&keywords=mini+greenhouse&qid=1689277243&sprefix=mini+gree%2Caps%2C185&sr=8-1-spons&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.b06bdbbe-20fd-4ebc-88cf-fa04f1ca0da8&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

and to build the fogger buy the following:

big lihe 65L or so tote
a controller, i have this exact one its awesome: https://www.amazon.ca/Inkbird-Controller-Humidistat-Fermentation-Dehumidifier/dp/B08931J1HZ/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=1KXBLW64UA9QA&keywords=humidity+controllers&qid=1689277404&sprefix=humidity+controllers+%2Caps%2C156&sr=8-3-spons&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.b06bdbbe-20fd-4ebc-88cf-fa04f1ca0da8&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

this fogger:  https://thehouseofhydro.com/collections/all-products/products/5-disc-mist-maker-with-float-and-spare-discs

if you want a float valve to automatically keep the tote full of water: https://thehouseofhydro.com/collections/all-products/products/mini-float-valve-1-2?variant=34437313593481

this is the humidifier i built:


i attached a 3inch duct to the elbow and I attached to the greenhouse and cut the hole. the best tape to use is aluminum foil tape meant for duct seailing like this: https://www.homedepot.ca/product/nashua-tape-1-89-in-x-50-3-yd-322-multi-purpose-hvac-foil-tape/1000179073 ; it's very sticky if you smooth it down tight it will never come off

the blower i used for the humidifier: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01M7S46YZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

you put 2, 3inch holes one at each end one hole mount the fan blowing down into the tote (theres an arrow on fan to show the airflow direction )

and other hole you attach 3" ducting , you can use elbow or even screw down a flange to connect the duct easier

get a power bar and plug it into the controller and the plug fogger and fan into power bar so when the controller turns on the fogger and fan run simultaneously, put the probe inside the mini greenhouse and set the controller at 90% and plug it in, it will keep humidity stable and provide fresh air exchange you could even run a duct from outside to the fan but you really don't need to.

if you don't want to to get water on the floorput a tray to put under greenhouse to protect floor from water like this one: https://www.amazon.ca/Whirlpool-8212526-Washer-Tray-White/dp/B0049IAK9U/ref=sr_1_6?crid=38PSEUP7IP5D8&keywords=washer+tray&qid=1689279242&sprefix=washer+tray%2Caps%2C132&sr=8-6&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.b06bdbbe-20fd-4ebc-88cf-fa04f1ca0da8

if you connect a hose to a float valve you now have automated fogger that is always full!! if you use tap water you will have to replace the tiny silver discs in the fogger twice a year, if you get a $60 reverse osmosis filter and float valve for 1/4" ro tubing and you won't get minerals encrusting the ultrasonic discs and won't  have to change them 2x year.

Nice but obligatory how is this better than using a plastic tote that costs 5-15$ and is also automated?

Unless this is for gourmets?

it is a $15 plastic tote. This is for growing bulk trays.
i fruit about 12 trays at a time with this system, you just put your trays in and walk away till harvest. This is how i do a "martha".

this is the fogger commercial grows use to humidify walk-in fruiting rooms.

I had good success and I wanted to share :smile:

So all 6 of those links cost 15$ total? Again I donโ€™t see how this does better than a plastic unmodified tote that you flip the lid on or drill some holes in. Iโ€™m glad it works for you though!

you're comparing 1 tote to a full greenhouse, that doesn't make sense. this is for growing bulk for people who like doing greenhouse and trays and growbags.
I get it, you prefer tubs, i don't, i like my automated greenhouse that I don't have to do anything except harvest and slide in 12 more new trays.

Do you really need to post twice that you prefer montotubs?

I'm not wanting to argue, you can grow anyway you choose my friend, you do you.

I wanted to share what to buy to make a better, bigger ultrasonic humidifier that you don't have to refill everyday.

Ah I got confused I thought that pic was your entire set up. That attaches to something?

Ah now I see

ya your argument here doesnt hold as much weight as you may think, you say do nothing but slide trays in and harvest, how is that any different than tubs? except the tubs dont need a fogger system. for tubs you dont do anything but harvest as well. no fogger system required, no system at all required. the fogger system alone is more work than a tub anyday and cost most and uses way more electricity.

Nice tent, but cubes do way better in tubs. Throw some oysters, chestnuts and LM in there instead. You'll be much happier. Cubes love the restricted environment. Gourmets prefer open fruiting chambers.

Maybe even some panaeolus....

Nice work though.

+1 for pans,
also tamps come to my mind.
I think itยดs very hard to dial in properly for surface moisture
when talking cubensis.
Even with trays same size with the same clone culture,
prepped all the same field capacity
experienced cultivators reported big trouble to dial in.
But if you got it on point itยดs great of course.
Itยดs just...cubes nearly grow everywhere
and as Stipe said itยดs some extra money you donยดt need to spend.

But show some pics from your grows mate.
Seems like you got it on point :wink:
