Seriously ppl? Who that F' cares that he cracked the plastic. Watch the video you obviously needed to learn something from and pipe down 🧐🤡 GREATLY APPRECIATE the information from the video. (Subscribed)

[@thomasnelson3449]

The C02 controller you linked to cost $250 (CAD). You can build an entire Martha tent setup for that. There's no reason to fruit oyster mushrooms in a tub if you can't do it for cheap.

[@Dino_Hunter_420]

I recently needed controller for RH , chose INKBIRD WiFi , £50 , probably arrived faulty , customer service was “trying to help” “sended new unit” that still haven’t arrived over a month later 😂😂, just thought I’d share my thought on INKBIRD , ac infinity way better

[@Ocean-blue]

Wow who would of thought that growing mushrooms was all about ‘fish ear exchange’

[@torrencekrepps757]

A little something to remember when drilling any plastic set the drill on reverse while drilling and it won't Crack the plastic

[@ryanchase2873]

Also really helps to put decent tape over the plastic where you are drilling and behind it; no more cracking

[@naturefarmingfoodandtechno5586]

Nice information sir 😊😊

[@jesselangeland7933]

Or just go really slow and don't push

[@heflar]

or blast it max speed with zero pressure

[@justinphillips1761]

Also this device is not necessary if you drill holes right above the line of substrate or paralyte CO2 is heavier than most gases that will be in there so it will leak out the bottom holes due to gravity alone drill a couple holes save a bunch of money

[@CryptoTonight9393]

A great alternative to perlite are puppy/incontinence pads.

[@johnlittle3410]

thank you for the great idea. i am a HVAC controls guy. you might want to blow the air into the chamber. filter it and your fan will last a very long time without getting it stopped up

[@LoneSpore]

I'm shocked at how many spores were in that fan!! Thanks for sharing :)

[@OakandSpore]

You and me both!

[@rhb30001]

Looks like that gadget won’t last long in that environment

[@paranoidmmm]

I use that CO2 Controller with the B01 sensor for over a year and it works great

[@OakandSpore]

The man! They do work well.

[@martink9785]

Ah I see. Cool controller. Amazing to see the spores, really didn't expect that

[@OakandSpore]

Nether did i!

[@Simon-et5jk]

Nice info thanks dude! I take it you dont water / fan the shrooms during fruiting as this fan & perlite combo is it working auto? thanks

[@Artem-rh4yz]

Does blue oyster would grow with the same speed? Mine third day in fruiting room, and I don’t see pins yet

[@MrConfrontation]

When drilling into plastic containers like that, brace the underside of where you are drilling with wood, drill in to the wood.

[@OakandSpore]

I like to live dangerously

[@woollyneptune3812]

Low drill speed in the key

[@mcnowski]

Just curious if you could grow another set of mushrooms off the other side at the same time?

[@jimathybindlenim6359]

I do that for the second flush. Some fruit bigger and healthier when you just give it one patch at a time

[@petrovuch]

cool device, but you did not mentioned the temperature around, shrooms will not grow if its to hoot, so how you manage temperature?

[@BeeBustersInc]

Which port do you plug in to on the side

[@cryptoponics]

Since the density of CO2 (1.842 kg/m3) is significantly higher than air (1.205 kg/m3) @NTP, and with the fruiting shrooms generating CO2, the inlet fresh air holes should have been located on the top of the container with the exhaust fan being located on the bottom. This would reduce the amount of fresh air required for interchange keeping the humidity higher as well. Just an observation from a chemical engineer, lolz.

[@OakandSpore]

Do you think convection is low enough for the gasses to separate in any meaningful quantities?

[@cryptoponics]

​@@OakandSpore When the fan is off you 'effectively' have a closed container barring external air currents. As CO2 is generated it will fill the lower portion of the container first and the CO2 concentration gradient will increase as you rise in the box. This is similar to the temperature gradients that you have noticed and demonstrated in your fruiting rooms floor to ceiling. Hot air is less dense than cold air - hence it rises. Now, some CO2 will diffuse to the outside air through the multiple small holes at the bottom of the container when the fan is off via diffusion, but the fact that you set the CO2 monitor to 650 cycling down to 600 makes me wonder what the concentration was at the top and the bottom of the container. I have seen other videos where the CO2 concentration is 5000+ ppm. I wish we had a real life problem like this to solve when I was taking fluid dynamics many years ago. Love your channel and what you're doing and just want you to think about CO2 being more dense than fresh air the same way cold air is too hot. Air @ 20C is 1.204 kg/m3 & air @ 15C is 1.225 kg/m3. The relative difference in density is far more pronounced for CO2 to fresh air than it is for a 5C temperature difference. Just some food for thought.

[@rhb30001]

Set him straight! 😅

[@enaldoleite5214]

Tip: When drilling a hole in the box, try heating the surface with a hair dryer first and using the drill in reverse, this helps to avoid cracking the box and leaves the hole perfect.

[@panbronek]

Hey, if you want the plastic not to crack when drilling holes, use less pressure on the drill. Let the plastic heat up a little and then when the drill starts to move, slow down a little more. It should be OK. Not one container broken, get to practice :)

[@berrybluex2501]

Would this work w truffle?

[@bicicogito989]

Niiiice... enjoy ALL your output! THANKS for sharing!! Would have like to see a control sistema container without active CO2 control, right next to the one here. Maybe simply air holes on each side. Keep it up!!!!

[@OakandSpore]

Great suggestion!

[@johnlittle3410]

also when drilling the light plastic start with the drill and then switch the direction of the drill motor. it will take a bit longer but want break plastic

[@dantefuego]

where can i get that t shirt

[@danielsigursson8512]

Wow that is a lot of spores! Good vid as always. Thank you.

[@Andrew-cm8rp]

Does this unit auto shut off at night?

[@zeratul600]

From GordoTek, run the drill in reverse, also you could kinda of preheat it with heat gun (or a hair dryer). In my opinion (non tested yet) i think that you could use Adhesive Tape (the one you use in the office for papers or for packaging crates), and cover the part you are gonna drill... with all of that, I hope that you don't get another broken tub

[@dylanminer3728]

Medical tape is the best for that , there is a brand and a product that is the best to do so (micropore tape )

[@zeratul600]

@@dylanminer3728 you meant to keep the air exchange while keeping out any undesirebles? if that's the case then your totally right :). But What I meant was before the drilling was done, in order to avoid getting cracks in the plastic: Like you select the place where your're gonna drill, then you cover the whole area before drilling (it will probably take a like 6 or more strips of the wide packaging tape, and then you set your power drill to REVERSE and proceed to drill in a way the total circumference you're cutting is within the covered area by the tape, with some luck no cracks would appear or spread

[@RenegadeMushrooms]

Very cool experiment. Thanks 👍

[@OakandSpore]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@crazyethanyeahyeah]

Great video thanks! Would this CO2 sensor work in a mushroom grow tent style setup?

[@mountainmelts5221]

great video. if you want to stop the cracking on the holes.. use a small block of wood on the backside as you drill through. ive also torched a butter knife red hot and made my holes this way.

[@ekta7371]

Can we control 5% co2

[@alanbrackett4230]

Does the fruiting block have to rest between fruiting or do you just continue with misting block as usual.

[@jacobjamar]

Great video man! I always enjoy your content! Still using softwood for most of your grows?

[@OakandSpore]

Yea mate, team softwood all the way!

[@aphexpin]

Perhaps not super relevant to this video, but why did you move away from your percentage repeat cycle timer and back to inkbirds? And why did you go for the pricier Torkz timer over cheaper offerings? Thank you for your time/content. I bought it based off your recommendation and a few others (in the aeroponics community) who criticized cheaper timers as being failure prone.

[@OakandSpore]

I am not using this device for my main growing. I actually use it to monitor the co2 in my incubation room now. My primary growing is done with expensive and high quality sensors. That being said, cheaper co2 probes are fairly good. Its cheap humidity probes which is a problem.

[@aphexpin]

@@OakandSpore I had switched to cycle timers over futzing around with a humidity probe in high humidity environments. Is there any advantage to using a sensor over 'dialing in' a repeat cycle timer? I bought the Torkz model you recommended and it's been working great with my high pressure system and exhaust fan running 24/7 on a speed controller. I did see your newer video regarding your nice new controller - looks great! A bit overkill for me right now though, as a guy just growing in a tent in his garage.

[@jesselangeland7933]

I wanted to see how you would use it in your new grow room still a good learning video

[@fatkorn]

I understand having to much CO2 but I don't understand the controller. Wouldn't you just always vent? Is it to save on electricity? cause it would take a lot to balance out the purchase of the controller. I'm new to all this so excuse me not knowing stuff.

[@VincentS327]

This is to have control of the CO2 in the room. He’s demonstrating with 1 box, but imagine a room full of boxes? That is where this controller would really shine…

[@Yoggoth]

Because by changing air constantly you remove humidity constantly, so you also need to humidity constantly

[@MatthewFarnell2009]

Can you do a video on how to program the Ink Bird?

[@VincentS327]

Probably a lil late… but if you search “InkBird icc-500t” there’s actually a tutorial video on how to set it up…

[@krzywik13]

Dont u need out filters on the vent holes

[@craigdawson7632]

The setup is looking good dude. How many air changes/hour would you need in a fruiting room? Or even per a regular wire rack that everyone uses.

[@OakandSpore]

depends on the ratio of substrate:volume in the room. A large room with a small number of grow bags wont need as many air exchanges as a small room with a large number of grow bags. The common air exchange rate is considered around 6-8 i believe.

[@craigdawson7632]

@@OakandSpore Thanks. That's really moving some cubes. Have you found or see a way that could dump the CO² from a mushroom fruiting room into a green house without humidity being a problem. Recycle the CO² from mushrooms and oxygen from tomatoes with no more than the cost of running a fan

[@BeeBustersInc]

Tried to get this to work seems great but couldn't get it to be stable i went back to a timer

[@ronlabe5487]

Put a board on the inside to drill into to avoid splitting.

[@schandler68]

Why not cut both sides of the bag? Have you ever tried

[@sage1682]

I just grew my first batch last week, ate several grams in total here and there. Went great! Had euphoria, nice visuals. I must have gotten cocky or taken it for granted because a day ago I decided to eat 7 grams. I got zero visuals, its like the mushroom decided not to entertain me and wanted to hammer me. I laid in my bed and was fighting it, it was telling me I'm a bad person and that everyone hates me. That I should self delete. I gave in to it and it still was hammering me, being mean as hell. I have no suicidal thoughts when sober, i want to stick around, grow old, and be here for my 3 little girls so it felt like it was the mushroom telling me those things or something. I now fear and respect the mushroom.

[@ah1864]

I hav about 70 oyster mushroom fruiting blocks with softwood sawdust as substrate. (Not enriched ) but no fruiting even after full colonisation. Starw logs are fruiting ....all parameters are perfect. Can u help me?

[@OakandSpore]

You need to suppliment. Soft wood on it's own will be lacking in nitrogen.

Wow. That you cannot complain about.

[@MyTube4Utoo]

A very cool video. Thanks.

[@susannecameron454]

I enjoy and learn a lot from your videos. Thank you for sharing. To minimise spore clog in the fan, would it work the other way around i.e. could the fan be used to blow air into the container and force the CO2 and spores out of the holes?

[@OakandSpore]

That's a great idea!! It would work great.

[@soota6083]

I would probably be concerned about blowing spores into the environment around the tent (depending on where it is). Spores are not healthy to inhale. Ideally, you'd want to exhaust it outdoors, such as a window, so the spores go outside your home.

[@danmaiers3451]

Fantastic video as usual. I really do enjoy your videos when you experiment with new techniques. If not you, then who? If not now, then when? 😉

[@mattcl24]

Nice New Zealand container. Glad to see some Aussie pearlite in there though 😀

[@TimN-5]

I think it'd be better to have the fan create positive pressure in the chamber vs your negative pressure setup. Little pc fans are really not made to get gunked up with spores and all that humidity - and worst case scenario, that can start a fire. Another benefit of positive pressure is you could potentially vent the spores outside.

[@OakandSpore]

That's actually a good idea. I have never thought about making it positive pressure!

[@jacobmillen641]

@@OakandSpore Positive pressure will very quickly highlight any leaks or gaps in your room by venting spores and humidity out of them as opposed to passively drawing air into the room through said gaps while exhausting through the outtake vent - negative pressure is the sensible setup to avoid leakages and fluctuations. If the PC fan is the issue, simply upgrade the fan, don't change your pressure setup brother!

[@mrexz]

Love the background music 😎

[@OakandSpore]

Thanks!

[@flaparoundfpv8632]

I went with the Skinkturd RH meter and it kinda sux. Had to rip out the alarm to be able to hit 99% humidity because there's no way to turn it off. Then I had to mess with the placement of the sensor to keep it away from any fog because the first thing it did was saturate and error out. I'll be moving to an Omega brand heated probe as soon as I can. I do a ton of Arduino-type stuff, so a total wireless solution isn't far down the road.

[@MrRgates23]

When drilling holes in tote with a hole saw, run the drill in reverse at low speed. Then the teeth of the saw will NOT catch on the tote edge and break the tote. The friction of the hole saw will melt and cut the hole. You will get a much cleaner hole in the tote. Also much safer and will NOT break the tote!

[@DenisSalmon]

That kiwi accent gives ne the cracks 😅 thanks fir sharing so much knowledge mate. It’s precious

[@ExaltedDuck]

Big thumbs up for stressing the importance of respiratory protection. I work with urethane paints from time to time and things like that are an absolute must. Just one note, though - facial hair can significantly degrade the quality of the seal to your face. Some types exist that don't need a tight seal. They use a hood with a constant positive pressure air supply. Usually that's via a stupidly expensive belt mounted fan/filter unit (called a PAPR - around 1500-2000 USD) but the hoods and hoses are fairly inexpensive, long lasting, and can be fed by any fresh air source (often treated compressed air in paint shops but I'm sure it would be trivial to set something up with a fan and duct drawing from outside your chamber for very low cost)

If you put some tape over the area you're drilling before you start you shouldn't get a split.

[@mallek1989]

That controller was trash. I returned it after a day. It couldn’t even keep up with my crappy $40 CO2 meter. Maybe they’re not meant to be in a grow tent with circulation fans running, but idk man. I’d hit over 2000ppm while that still read 1200. It’s not trustworthy for using with CO2 tanks or generators.

[@OakandSpore]

All co2 meters have a delay in reaction, mainly because most of the have a protective membrane to prevent damage to the sensor. The gas has to permeate the membrane. My expensive vaisala co2 monitors only gave a 60 second response time.

[@BoroBootBoy]

CO2 controllers aren't cheap, Inkbird included.

[@OakandSpore]

They aren't! I must admit, I am a fan on co2 controlling... I have multiple sensors around my farm. This inkbird is not in my incubation room.

[@BoroBootBoy]

@@OakandSpore CO2 control is definitely needed in larger operations. I currently rely on regular air exchange to do the job but would love to add a CO2 controller so i could 'trim' the air exchange (and temp). I use Inkbird for temp and humidity, and they have proven reliable, so maybe one day....
