3.4 Controlled Monotub Shotgun Fruiting Chamber

[@diy-mushroom-tek]

Update 2023-10-01: Please use the newer and more advanced XY-TR01 humidity controller with the SHT20 Sensor instead of the older XH-M452 with the AM2120 Sensor. www.thingiverse.com/thing:6242947 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4i9ZJ97famhj9U

This is awsome, thank you very much for this build, very well done. Greetings from Switzerland

Hey, super awesome! You definitely convinced me to replicate your project. And after rounding up all the numbers its cheaper than i tought! So i decided to buy the whole kit to make the environment controller, the fan, humidifier and filter. Lights will come later if needed. But i will start with a shotgun chamber, and will buy a nice stainless cabinet with glass windows to put in my living room when time comes. Cant wait to receive the goodies in my mail! Thank you for your awesome work. Cheers

Hello @AravindKumar-hq6rm ! This setup offers an incredibly cost-effective and reliably simple approach to kickstart your mushroom growing journey. What's remarkable is that every component in this setup serves as a building block for future upgrades, especially within a martha environment. I'm confident that these elements are ample for fostering optimal growth conditions within a martha setup. It's truly all about cultivating a deep affection for mushrooms. Your thoughtful comment is genuinely valued and greatly appreciated. Thank you for your kindness!

@@diy-mushroom-tek Thank you for your videos,I'm getting soo much knowledge from it , I'm thinking to go with the Martha tent 🙌 btw also thank you for the 3d print files much appreciated 👍 u have soo many skills Brother 💛 I hope I'll be able to grow beautiful mushrooms as yours 🍄

Beautiful work. Motivating! I know reishi tolerates higher c02 levels, is that why you chose to mount the fan inside as opposed to outside blowing fresh air in? I would monitor c02 levels in the shotgun fruiting chamber, not necessary but just my preference. It would be cool if you did a DIY on electronically assembling your own c02 controller. Keep up the great work! Can’t wait for the next video!

Hey! Thanks for your thoughtful insights! I really appreciate it! I promote a flexible setup for a monotube. As there are not many electronic parts needed, one can easy play around with the best position of the fan. This is good to find out what that mushroom needs that you are growing. On can easily mount the fan on the top of the box. That way it will blow fresh air inside. I am thinking of maybe enhancing the video with an addon on how to electronically connect all the parts. I do not know if that is necessary since it basically is just plug and play. In that video I could highlight the different fan positions and what are the advantages or disadvantages. Great point! Concerning the CO2-Sensor topic, I originally designed an Arduino controller that included a CO2 sensor. In my experience they did not work that great and were buggy in high humidity environments. I used a CCS811 air quality sensor. As you can see in my 3.1.1 - Controller video, I had a working Arduino solution which controlled my tent. There are already some Arduino controlling solutions tutorials out there, that in include these sensors. But I also think, that for many people the technical barriers would be too high, if one also needed to master Arduino knowledge and basic programming just for growing mushrooms! I wanted to give people easy and cheap access to a grow tent. That is why I decided to focus on 3D printed structural parts and easy to assemble electronic components. Both tasks can be easily performed together with some friends who have some basic knowledge in these areas of expertise. In that way both parties’ profit and friendships can be strengthened.
