Room for growing bulk ?
    #5353352 - 03/01/06 12:11 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Greeting fellow shroomers,

My friend has a big house and he is letting me use a room to grow edible shrooms. Its about 8ft.wide x 16 ft. long, approx.

I would like to maximize the effiency of the work space, so I would like to get it to 2 then 3 levels in the room. I use 60qt rubbermaid bins for a grow chamber.

I was wondering what is the best setup to do 2 and 3 levels of bins. I am planning to use just one light source for the whole room which will be located on the ceiling. Would it be ok to put the bins directly on top of each other, or would that not allow enough light to penetrate? If not, what kind of material should I use thats not too heavy, yet strong and transparent to accomodate the bins for the second and third levels?

Also, I am not ruling out the possibility of maybe I should use a small lamp for the first level, medium size lamp for second level, and a tall lamp for the highest level?

But if I am using one ceiling lamp, my plan would be to have the bins that are pinning on top so they get the most light, the ones that are already fruiting would be in the middle and the ones that are getting ready to harvest will be on the bottom. (this plan does sound like a lot of work tho, IE musical bins)

Can some experienced growers please throw me some ideas on this topic, I would really appreciate it.

thanx a bunch

I actually found that diagram in a search, and it seems very helpful thanx.

I see the bins are directly on top of each other tho and was wondering if there would still be sufficient enough light to reach the bottom bins, especially if they are pinning... what do you think?
That is the most important thing for me, for the shrooms to get enough light so they pin.... and get highest yield possible.

I already got a bunch of elite 801 air pumps that I connect to a imagine tropic aire humidifier which is then connected to the growing chamber.

I will take a look at the terrarium setup section tho right now.

thanx for your help!!!

any more suggestions?!?!?!?

wow for real, but do you think you are maximizing the amount of pins with such little light source? I know they dont need that much light and I do ask as humbly as one can.

My pinning strategy includes 16 hours of 60 watt light the first day and 12/12 afterwards. Some may say thats still too much light.....

I did have a jar that I was spawning that fruited with very very little light.

btw where the terrarium section of the site newguy?

thanx

YEILDED 1/2 POUND FROM THESE FOUR BINS!!! you make the call.
light is mainly for primordia initiation(pins) and directional use so the more light is not always the better.

up top is a little bar that says mushroom information every thing is in there. terrariums are here

something along this line maybe...








thats what I would do if I lived in Amsterdam or some place where growing was legal.
