I'm finishing up my FC and I took some pics of the final abomination.
cool mist / LED fogger / air pump / 2 x 6ft LED 6000k Light Ropes / chrome wheels







yes, i know perlite and a tub would have been easier and cheaper and more efficent, but i fully enjoy making things dramatically over complex and inefficient, its a hobby of mine.

I should point out that those are LED light ropes with a 6000 color temp, they produce virtually no heat, even after 24 hours they are still not even warm to the touch, LEDs kick ass
thanks for the compliments

results should be posted within a couple of weeks, those trays in there are bulk sub being colonized. they should be ready for casing in a few days.
based on test runs 99% humidity is reached within 1 hour, it is sustained at that level indefinitely using an event timer for the fogger and air pump, im still tweaking the on / off times but all is working great so far

The trays are closed because im still colonizing. Once the bulk sub is finished colonizing I will case the trays and remove the tops, then start fruiting. So all of the tray tops will be removed once i start fruiting.

well i really like the set up always wanted to do something like this. i just like to see my casings everyday./ And i think that the less time you open ur fc... the better. you got something to catch excess water in the bottom?

the bottom chamber has 4 PVC pipes coming into it to supply humid air, the 2 intakes at the very bottom (not visible in these pics) are used to collect excess condensation. i just shove a wad of paper towels or whatever into the two bottom ones. that way there is a total of 6 intake pipes with two of the intake pipes at the bottom being used to collect excess condensation. seems to work out well so far, virtually no water collection at the bottom

I agree big time, you can grow mushrooms in a soda can if you need to.
Still looks real nice though, definitely my type of set up, I like everything clean and all in one spot. Make sure you get your money's worth out of it though.

I'd say your should definitely post a tek for this one. Great setup, but I do have one question; what would you say is the volume of your cabinet? I recently bought the same humidifier and my FC looks to be about the size of what you got there. It would help me out on making any necessary alterations.

I'm not too sure the "volume" of it but it holds 8 shoe box sized 5.6 quart tubs. the cool mist by itself didnt work too great, the fogger and air pump helped power it up a lot but i dont have a lot of faith in that setup, i think the cool mist will likely die in a matter of months. when that time comes I'll come up with a solution that doesnt require the cool mist but until then it works pretty well

Question tho: Lemme see if i have this right. The Fogger is pumping in the vaporized water, the humidifier is pumping in fresh air and the watter from the fogger, the air pump is pumping fresh air into the whole unit? Also, are the containers you are using see-thru? Would it be better to use solid containers? Im trying to understand this thing, so please, don't be offended by the criticism. Does it humidify the room it is in too? It doesn't look seamless, which is good right?

yeah, ive finally decided to write this tek, i'm thinking of calling it "Rich Man's Pod" due to it's obnoxious price tag 
to answer your question, the air pump pumps in air into the cool mist, the fogger is inside the cool mist, the cool mist is connected to the FC which pumps very humid air into the FC constantly, the FC is not air tight, it allows the air that is pumped in to flow directly through and out of the FC, this helps to prevent stale air and contams
the containers in there are just trays being colonized, when they are ready to fruit i will take the tops off, the pictures should be much more exciting when there are 8 trays fruiting inside it doesnt really matter if the trays are clear or not, i guess it might be better if they werent so you dont get side pinning.
i've had a lot of requests to right a tek on this so I will start doing that this week, hopefully i can have it done and posted this weekend.
thanks again for all the compliments!

I hope you're not running that humidifying system while you're waiting for that to colonize. There's really no point.

Yeah, but the one you are using is wicked tight! I'll pay the $130.00 to have it delivered because I don't have a Home depot in my area. Screw it! I like it alot. I have just about everything else I need except the fogger. Can't wait to see a more detailed write up on the construction of this sweet chamber

I see that cabinet everytime i walk through homedepot and lowes ailes. They have one twice as large too. Its fully plastic, i myself have actually looked at them and considered using them as an FC.
Only thing im thinking is that humidity might leak out therough the cracks where the doors close. Or do they shut tightly?
Nice job. Last time you were doing that 55gallon tub i was rooting for you. This stuff looks very sophisticated. You are right, half the fun is in building little setup projects like this, the price is only secondary to that....

Akira, you're right about the gaps in the cabinet doors. The way I fixed this was to use window tape sealant (thick gray foam tape that can be applied on the edges of the door to close the gaps) Thanks for the compliments!
