Root Cellar for a Grow Room Question
    #4844890 - 10/24/05 08:39 AM (18 years, 5 months ago)

1. I'm a newbie
I've a root cellar on my farm. I'd like to use it as a grow room but it builds up a little mold on the walls. Not much but its there.
Its built of cinder blocks which are painted, has a vent shaft out of the top and wired 110V.
The inside temperature is average an 65F and humidity averages 75 - 85.
Would this be feasible for growing lion's mane?Hericium erinaceus.

what are the dimensions of the room?
what is the floor made of?
getting rid of the mold is a possibility, are the blocks leaking, or not properly sealed?

if worse comes to worse, there are ways to grow hericium without a grow room if you are growing in bags, look a few posts down.

The room is 12'X 12', with a concrete floor.
Yea, I thing the mold thing isn't that bad, I mean it can be controlled.
I'm going to bring the temp up alittle and monitor.
Thanks,

definetly would want to get rid of the mold.. you can build another structure inside of this one, with perhaps just some plastic for walls, use the concrete floor though, keep that wet and that'll be all the humidity you need.. air flow is key too, seems like a good bet, look into cold-tolerant mushrooms too..
