How to Build a Mushroom Greenhouse | Martha Tent

I recognized the channels name from etsy ! I got my lions mane and oyster LC today. you rock!

[@ReetCZ108]

Tysm for including the iteams you used and the links being for amazon! I watched the North Spore video and they are based in America, the money for shipping their iteams would make me broke😂 so im glad you gave these alternatives!

[@SporenSprout]

I appreciate the feedback, good luck my friend!

[@sermorcas1]

I will start growing 5 of your strains in the same tent. Wish me luck 😅

[@TerpyTen]

I have a set up just like this 👍. She's going to be so full in the next week or 2

[@F3PIZZA]

Is there any benefit to doing it this way vs putting the humidifier flow at the bottom and FAE on top? Personal preference? Just curious 😊 Thanks dude!

[@SporenSprout]

Well the way I see it is CO2 settles to the ground so the vent fan is at the bottom to remove it and humidity tends to also settle at the bottom so I have it cascading from the top down. You can do whatever you want and it shouldn’t make a big difference.

Bro thanks a lot i am new to this so i try to get as mutch as posible information good explanation !

[@Jaysteenn]

How much electricity does this setup use? Can you notice a difference in your electric bill?

[@SporenSprout]

I don’t notice a difference. Probably $10 or something.

[@Teezythadon]

Cats are always so damn nosey and in the way lol

[@SporenSprout]

[@chrismehl9842]

Is it better to just have the exhaust fan or could it be used with a carbon filter as well?

[@SporenSprout]

@@chrismehl9842 If you are exhausting outside it doesn’t matter. You could put a carbon filter for the intake fan though. Check out this other tent set up: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGTZfqhjadeAhpo

[@RobBanks81]

Very helpful, thanks. How does fresh air get to the upper shelves?

[@SporenSprout]

The negative pressure of the exhaust fan replaces all of the air through the bottom of the tent. More new air comes in from the top humidifier hose also, and you can also open the tent 1 time per day and fan it manually and that works fine.

[@RobBanks81]

@@SporenSprout Excellent, thanks for the explanation.

[@Enochulate88]

I got everything you mentioned including the same color humidifier you got. Is all I need for a walk in version, a bigger homemade fogger or what all would I need for a bigger one

I want to go from this, to walk in, to garage sized tents (20 by 20 or possibly 30)

[@yakivpopavich]

Where can I get some tubing that would be a good size to get it from a humidifier to the greenhouse?.

[@SporenSprout]

My tubing came from a space heater that I got from Amazon.

[@MatthewFarnell2009]

How do I purchase the thing you connect the air ducting to that mounts in the window? Thanks!

[@SporenSprout]

Just buy a big square of insulation panel from hardware store and measure your window, cut the correct size square to fit the window and cut a 6 inch circle from the middle of the square and just tape the ducting to it.

[@jobius19]

How much is acceptable for the humidifier to overshoot 85% each time it runs? I have mine turning off at 85% but as the mist continues to evaporate it keeps increasing to well over 90%. And I confirmed I can decrease the overshoot by turning down the humidifier speed

[@SporenSprout]

Yeah that’s common, just set it lower so it doesn’t go past 90

[@leonardovidal6305]

Could you also tell me what size is the width of the tube you use to attach it to the humidifier?

[@akindofmagick]

Great video! What was the total cost of the build? Thanks!!

[@SporenSprout]

Thanks for watching. The total cost was roughly $240.

[@vincentpopovski9435]

Thanks for the video! Quick question regarding FAE - if I’m ducting it out the window just like you are, are there any additional filters needed? Also for the FAE timer - is 15 minutes every hour good for most mushrooms? I’m primarily doing oyster and lions mane. Thanks!

[@SporenSprout]

If ducting out of a windows there is no filters needed. Yes 15 mins per hour is good for everything

[@Letmedomyshit]

@@SporenSproutone question: why do we have to place the sensor for the humidifier at the top and not at the middle ? Don’t we need an average for the humidity?

[@SporenSprout]

@@Letmedomyshit You can put the sensor anywhere you want. Middle is good. I put my in different spots depending on how it’s performing.

[@MichaelWorboyes-c8z]

What speed do you have the humidifier? And also the exhaust fan please?

[@SporenSprout]

High speed humidity and medium speed exhaust fan.

[@dougemt123]

Just wondering where you are drawing your fresh air from? I get the exhaust at the bottom, but I don't see any fresh air intake.

[@SporenSprout]

When the exhaust fan is running it pulls new air in from under the grow tent. That works well for me with the small size, but you can definitely add an in-line fan and tweak it to your specific needs. I also have a larger grow tent that brings fresh air in through the humidity source.

[@highroad3580]

Does the humidifier regulate temperature as well? I didn’t understand your temp system here.

[@SporenSprout]

No there is no temp system. Use house heat/air conditioning. Room temperature is good.

[@greatwhitecoyote]

How long does it take to have rust on your selves from the water vapour of your humidifer ?

[@SporenSprout]

A few months. You can coat the metal in something that will prevent rust.

[@ProdByDiStefano]

bro make us a vid showing how you made the custom hose on humidifier

[@SporenSprout]

The hose was from a space heater I had laying around. You can use tape or silicone to attach any hose really. Or get a humidifier that comes with a hose.

[@ProdByDiStefano]

@@SporenSprout the one that always come wit them be ass thats why i wanted you to show us your way alot of us would appreciate it in a vid

[@antmags831]

how often do you have the humidifier running daily as well as the duct fan to pull co2 out?

[@SporenSprout]

The humidifier is connected to a humidistat so it turns on automatically when the humidity sensor inside the tent measures below a set number. In this tent I have it set to come on at 80% humidity and turn off at 85% humidity. You will have to test what 2 numbers works best for your size tent. The exhaust fan is set to turn on for 5 minutes every hour.

[@dunderfunder9026]

Can i use a filter to take the air out dont got a window near by or i need a really long tube :-( tent is already in use at the moment with out taking out polluted air from the tent hope u can hep me out with this Nice vid anyway ;-)

Yes, you can cut a filter to shape and put it in the end of the exhaust ducting.

Hi, I've been slowly putting together my home lab and fruiting space. I don't have any real room for fruiting mushrooms inside my apartment, however I do have space outside in my covered patio (concrete flooring), and was wondering if I could set up a Martha tent out there? I live in the PNW so generally the outdoor temps and humidity are quite favorable for mushrooms (I already have wild ones growing in nearby landscaping lol) Appreciate all the content and knowledge you put out 👍🏽

[@giovanniolano9549]

how would you go about cleaning the tent ? or disinfecting? is this not that frequent? thanks

You could spray the racks with rust protection and yes the shelves should be scrubbed down with cleaning solution after every grow, or as often as you believe necessary.

You don’t have to use a spray bottle and the exhaust fan alone is good enough for fresh air exchange.

@@SporenSprout thank you

[@Daniel-fi9nb]

How do you manipulate O2 and CO2 levels?

[@SporenSprout]

Exhaust fan removes co2 and replaces the air all by itself.

[@asultan6667]

Do you only need a exhaust for shiitake do you need a fresh air intake or is only humidty enough?

[@SporenSprout]

It is good to have both exhaust and intake on large tents. But in this small set up, only an exhaust intake is needed to exchange the small amount of air. The small humidifier also helps with more intake. On my large tent I have the filtered fresh air intake ducting coming into my humidifier tote which is inside the tent and that acts as my fresh air intake.

@@SporenSprout thanks 🙏🏼 I appreciate your work, will be buying some spawn from you in the near future

[@VoidLabs]

My only issue is that I see a lot of people placing the ducting at the top and the humidifier at the bottom, does it really make a difference which way you set it up?

[@SporenSprout]

Spores and CO2 settle toward the bottom of the tent so that’s why I exhaust from the bottom. It doesn’t make too much of a difference on a small scale.

[@dubb5508]

Your fresh air is also coming from the bottom of the tent so you want it to come in through the bottom and push the co2 out of the fan in the top. Mono tubs are designed the same way with passive air flow using filters.

[@guillotinaa]

[@SporenSprout]

70-75 F

How do you time the airflow turn on/off ?
