These days people try to charge for every teenie bits of knowledge they know. This man is willing to share his knowledge of his livelihood. All respect and thank you for your generosity to share to the world.

[@Mossy5150]

This is the cool part about mushrooms, the community of professionals are generally interested from the standpoint of human health and longevity, so they bring that aspect to their industry. Also, let's be real, many have also likely grown a "variety" of species, and that fosters openness and creativity.

This guy is like the Bob Ross of mushroom cultivation. Love it.

[@garyash4823]

you should make a post on how you make your air exchange fans & your humidifier

[@chunkylover54]

thats what i came here to check out.

[@AlexA-kj5mn]

Would the air exchange be dependent on how big your tent is ? I have a 4x4x6.65(104 cubic ft ) tent and 204cfm fan. So based on that I was thinking that I would need to have fan on for 30 seconds in order to fully exchange air intent . How often would need to do this?

Idea: Put a some UV sterilization lights in the grow room for a few hours after cleaning to kill off any remaining microbes. Spread them around so there are no shadows for germs to hide in. Love your vibe and generosity with knowledge. 🍻🍄💖

[@Teleshiva]

I super-admire your diligence and attention to cleanliness! In your situation it totally makes sense. But I used to work at a mushroom farm and in our grow area we almost never cleaned! The way it was set up was large and open and dirty. We had none of the technology for humidity control, heat control, etc, but we produced massive amounts of mushrooms on an extremely low tech system. It was similar to what you might see in India or China. I'm sure we had a lower productivity rate than your current setup, but the time saved in cleaning and the money spent and rent and technology was definitely worth it!

Wow this really opened my eyes for how simple a grow room could be. People are always trying to build some crazy stuff with wood, paint over wood with expensive marine paint, silicone caulk every corner. Your tents are so simple. I'm assuming those are the ones people usually use for hydroponics.

[@petergoestohollywood382]

Have you tried using a pressure washer to clean your tents? Like once it’s totally empty of bags, just jump in some oilskins, close the door behind you and start spraying everything down. You use the vacuum to suck up liquids anyway I guess. Could reduce 1/2h workload to 5min maybe. You’d have to get another detergent, though.

[@mikesixx7655]

The whole point is to not knock stuff around into the air, pressure washers are an extremely bad idea unless you want a massive contamination problem in your grow room

[@chrishunt4584]

I can't stop watching in fact I'm going to grow mushrooms....

[@prazule]

Thank you. Your videos are so insightful and practical. I was wondering if you ever tried to use an ozonator in your tents to kill off spores and germs instead of having to wipe everything down. It would probably save you a lot of time.

[@brightring4282]

Cleaning and dehumidification It is wonderful！ Ozone treatment is also good！try it！🇯🇵

Hi. Guess we have watched most, if not all of your vids.THANKS !! We are branching out into mushrooms to sell along with our microgreens. After many months of learning/testing we are ready to build out a 7x10 fruiting room. Simple question is for "cleaning". I'm hoping we can grow/harvest in 1 side of the room -then clean that 1/2 etc. All comments welcome. Ken

I used to use ulv diggers with a chrysanthemum based spray (rated food save) .. turn it on let it run a for about 10mins then let the room sit sealed with Air/exhaust off overnight then turn on the ac/exhaust for 15 mins and was good to go for a sanitized space

Wow thanks for sharing all of your valuable experience. Binging and enjoying all of your content!

Not sure it would make a big difference here, but could help a bit. Either way, thank you for generously sharing what you've learned.

Do you think carbon filters on the online fans would help with the spores?

[@mickpower9208]

Absolutel legend sir! Thanks for the video

[@jolIyjoeker]

I wish he had videos explaining the intake/exhaust fans and the fae you need for mushroom grow tents. I imagine it’s tricky to have exhaust fans running without pulling all of the humidity out, without using a humidity/temperature controller.

[@mikerouswell5685]

May I recommend microfiber car wash mittens for the cleaning you do. Might be faster?

[@runetsysalazar2190]

Thank you for all the great information 🙏🏾

[@chrish6725]

You obviously know what your doing but have you ever thought of getting some type of cheap prefilter that is rated for spores or an electrostatic filter that can be cleaned or maybe rig something up. it would prob cut the cost of replacing inline fans and ducting soo much. That stuff adds up for sure. thanks for the vids!

[@joanneferndale101]

stunning and fab, thank you xxx

[@scott1971h]

Have you thought of shipping containers rather than the tents? Even though they would be more expensive, you could do a custom fitout and if you do need to move they are pretty well good to go as is.

Leave 4 Tennis Balls under each quadrant of each tent so that the water flows to the edges and corners for quick and easy hoover! You can attach on a stick so that you can remove the balls etc. You'll figure it out, thought it could be of help.

[@jamesianno]

Grate video 📹 brother

[@jimheal9670]

I appreciate the insight into how your tents air systems are arranged. I have a 4*8 and I do my air systems very differently. I pull air from the tent and push it through the side of a plastic trash can that's outside of the tent with a coolmist humidifier in it, air exits the top of the can into connected duct, into the top of the tent and runs along the top of the tent and is distributed evenly with perforated polyducting that runs the tents legnth. Wonder why you have you fans inside the tent. I have fans and humidifiers outside mine cause I was worried about damage and wanted to avoid clutter. Happy growing! Thanks again for the videos✌️

[@tyeguertin]

Hello I appreciate your comment. Though it's old I hope you see this and have time for a reply- I'm looking for a 4x8 tent for myself, what did you go with and how well did it/is it holding up? I'm thinking of going with the gorilla lite version of the 4x8 it's significantly cheaper than the regular gorilla tents

[@daveb7286]

Yo my man. Thoroughly impressed by your videos. Wholly educational, inspiring and detailed content. It would be awesome if you did a Q&A on how you got started and what your plans are moving forward. Much love.

[@Auroric]

I've been hoping you'd make a video on this topic! I'm assuming your air intake is filtered outdoor air? Would you be able to elaborate on the type of filters used and maybe the exchange regiment as well? EG how many times an hour you cycle the air, whether you use a co2 sensor etc. Thank-you so much for the videos, super in-depth and applicable for small time mushroom dreamers like myself.

[@skm9420]

Hepa or the best you can afford.

[@mikesixx7655]

For example the flow hood HEPA filter he is using is about 800 dollars per filter without the housing or the blower fans. They need changing about twice a year.

you should try relocating the humidifier outside the grow room. you can also centralize it that way and no spores can kill the motor
