So glad I found your channel. Good luck with the move and upgrade :)

[@busyrand]

Super Happy for you! This setup is very involved and professional. You've progressed beautifully. Outstanding! Wakanda Forever!

[@JewellsGardens]

busyrand THANKS!! Wakanda forever! :) Not sure when I’m going to stop saying that, lol!

[@busyrand]

Look... I've been waiting my whole life to have something like the "Wakanda Forever" gesture. I'm a well-mannered, combative, nerdy athlete. Those are my peeps! It's dope how well things have progressed for you. Your learning curve is super impressive and inspirational. Peace. Wakanda Forever.

[@omendez2121]

@@JewellsGardens any advice on how to start growing oyster mushrooms at home to sell at markets and chefs? Do I start with a small green house tent? Can I just put my kids humidifier in there? Thank you so much for all you do to help us.

Amazing your smashing it. Well done

[@brendagoldenwoodmushrooms8047]

Love the tour. Need to see it in person sometime. Damn! A 4 ton AC. No need to worry about airflow. You have definitely made me think twice about a warehouse situation for a while.😏🍷

Brenda @Goldenwood Mushrooms Lol! I know, you and the hubs need to come out here!!!

[@JoseGarcia-uo5qz]

Cool I like your attitude your cool

[@TyephoonMonsoon365]

Amazing video on your experience! I have been inspired to begin my journey as a fungi farmer! I am starting small and working my way up to you level 🙏🏾. Keep making content and I’ll keep watching and absorbing 🧽. Happy New Year & Namaste!

[@aaront8047]

Congratulations on your new venue for farm! Just for thought, I have my mushroom lab in one of my rooms and its carpet too! What I did was I laid adhesive plastic rolls all over the carpet (these are specially made for painters to save their ass from dripping paint on clients carpet) now I don't have any dust flying round or collecting all kinds of nasty stuff. It's useful if you want to save the carpet. It takes 5 - 10 minutes to wrap the carpet with two people that size, very easy! Only problem is, when you take it off after a year it becomes super sticky when you walk around everywhere haha... but at least it saves the carpet for the next tenant. But hey, ripping out the carpet saves buying more stuff :)

[@JewellsGardens]

Aaron T that’s a good idea but dang I really need to just rip it out instead of save it. I can feel the water on it seeping from the other side when I spray. Ain’t nobody got time for no mold, lol!!

[@aaront3564]

Hahaha yeah I totally didn't think about the seeping through :) I am curious though, how did you clean out your hydroponics tent? Do you use bleach water? or do you put something into the fogging system. How often did you clean your tents?

[@JewellsGardens]

Aaron T so I cleaned pretty often- when I could visibly see spores building up on the floor and walls I would clean obviously & it’s very easy to tell because of the Mylar. I tried to deep clean the shelves though every time I emptied it. I used pine sol/Lysol mostly or bleach mixture. Just a small amount of bleach though

[@guymccown5342]

Looking good nice plan. Lab and grow area in same room are you afraid of cross breading. Lab might be better with its own room. And yes no carpet

[@joycezhang7223]

Sad to see this wonderful farm closing down, did you have to sell all the nice equipments?

[@christopherholt8403]

Awesome girl! Thank you for sharing your successes and failures. I have found your videos helpful and informative.

[@JewellsGardens]

Christopher Holt Thanks man!

[@mycotoads6725]

Hey!! Glad that you’re back. Love the shop, and love your hair! With all that expensive equipment, you should call it the Gucci shop lol!! Glad you’re doing well. Keep it up!! Mushlove-Gee

[@JewellsGardens]

Myco Toads Thanks!!! The Gucci Shop. That’s what the hell I’m talking about 😂😂😂

[@HayleysComet3]

Her hair looks great but she should’ve had it done at the hairdresser shop upstairs. If only she could’ve seen the future. I feel so bad that it didn’t work out. This place would’ve been great. All that work, money and knowledge wasted here. I’m sure she would’ve succeeded if she had wanted to start up again somewhere else.

[@sporegasm664]

I had to deal with tearing out 2000 sq feet of that same type of carpet when I opened my dog grooming shop ( before I decided to get into mushroom farming) and yeah, the glue was MUCH harder to remove than the carpet!!

[@paw195]

Very impressive! I have watched many of your videos now and soon I'm planning on starting a farm myself will definitely be looking over your videos again for advice! keep posting :)

[@working2bselfsufficient724]

Hope you add some more videos been a little bit again. Another sweet video I missed and wanted to check out when I had time wohoo

Awsome shop chic and man are you gorgeous

[@clubadv]

You are braver than I am. Like you I come from and know business / finance and will have that in mind. Really worried about my growing skills. Glad to subscribe to you especially for inspiration. You are my hero right now. Out here in Cali I predict magic mushrooms being legal within 4 years😉. Want to be ready for more than lions mane my future bread and butter. Wish you the best, you are a quick learner and clearly a brilliant visionary. Here

[@JewellsGardens]

Lol, you're hero HA!!!! It will be very interesting to see what happens in the "other" mushroom business in the future. Being ready to go when the time comes is gonna be key:)

[@visit402]

Mushrooms, cannabis, and solar energy. Cancer, seizures, mineral deficiency, ect. Will have no place in my home

[@JoeZyzyx]

Enjoyed video. That "Lip" is called a "Sill" or "Threshold" if interested in the proper term for it, but then it IS a tent. The drains, do they go straight outside, or to a sump hole which is then pumped out, to avoid unwanted micro organisms or even bugs to enter? Maybe to a water trap to accomplish the same?

[@alisongardner7476]

Just found your clip via another interview and wondered whats the 3 books you first used for your mushroom farming...

[@g.p.mushrooms5496]

I always say, "I'm going to the growery". ☝😑 Stainless Steal Racks, glad you're back! Missed your face! One other thing, when it comes to construction times what ever time frame they give by 3. 😉

[@ambientaldrone]

Congratulations and good luck!

[@catlinhollow]

damn Jewell. I have envy!

[@zombieprinting2670]

Hey Jewell, What size steam generator are you using for your tank behind you? and will a 9KW do the trick over 24 hrs? Saw a clip from grow your greens and sparked my interest. THanks :)

[@andrewj2577]

I was wondering where she got the custom fabricated lid for that feed stock tank, and how much it costed.

[@kitkahess9913]

About how many square feet was your mushroom cabin vs. Your new setup? I am basically wondering how many man (woman) hours this size vs that size takes up weekly. Thank you!!! Love your videos, I am so inspired!

[@JewellsGardens]

Kitka Hess thanks! Total sf in cabin was about 900/1000 & this is 2000. The biggest difference is the fruiting room which is 30x16 now. It’s hard to compare “woman” hours because I’m growing 3x’s as much now but I also have more automation with the mixer & bagger. Regardless I work a lot more now, even with p/t help

[@TheSkyHive]

Hey gal, are you still shrooming? Don't see you post much anymore, hopefully that means you are too busy to do so. I just decided to start my own mushroom farm after 25 years of growing at home. I had a HUGE opportunity fall in my lap, a chain of grocery stores wants to buy from me!

[@neil9383]

I'm excited watching you grow as my first order of Oyster grain spawn shows up this week :)

[@prising6928]

Congratulations on your new room. It’s great. I’m glad the tent is done. 😁 you won’t regret it....If you say I’m going to my grow those who don’t know better or overhear will think you are growing cannabis. That may cause issues for you in a variety of ways.

[@JewellsGardens]

EXACTLY!!!

[@jeffreysmikle672]

Hey Jewel your new setup is gonna be the bomb! 6 days in and you're already that colonized?? Where do you get your spawn???

[@JewellsGardens]

jeffrey smikle I know right?!? I had been getting it down before (colon. time) but this is beautiful. North Spore spawn

[@aliceswonderland7503]

Oh, was not expecting to see you moving so soon. Customers must be demanding more and more, it's great to see there's enough demand to decide expand and evolve so quickly. Are you using a sauna steamer?

[@JewellsGardens]

Alice's Wonderland yeah, it was very apparent even a few months ago my last grow wasn’t going to be big enough. Oh, and maybe:)

[@BJ-xm6bi]

Wow Jewel, your mushroom operations have become so very sophisticated! How many hours a day do you work on your mushroom business?

[@JewellsGardens]

B J I know, I’m in over my head 😂 Right now I work around the clock literally, but I have part time help also. Once things are dialed in I hope to work no more than 40 hours...we’ll see 😬

[@johnryanc.4169]

First&foremost....you look effin Amazing 🍄Princess, 🍄💚! I know your stressing but it don’t show,like any art form you will get out of it what you put in, but you’ve already learned a lot so trust yourself, I believe in you.“🍄Queen you will be!” -yoda voice 🙏🏻🍄💚

[@JewellsGardens]

JOHNRYAN C. Lol! Thank you so much, it’s most appreciated! Oh and the stress...those first few weeks caused an uproar with everyone around me, but I had to whip out that white flag and give in to the fact that pretty much nothing was going to go according to plan. Had to change my mindset.

[@johnnutbey4093]

"The Shop"is cool

[@JoeZyzyx]

I know this is about growing, but maybe a future video about how these various mushrooms are cooked, used, eaten, etc? Do you eat mushrooms yourself?

[@rickromo2985]

Thanx for sharing

[@andrefox333]

Awesome setup you got here! I went ahead and bought the same light you got, the Husky 7000 lumens. When I got it, I read on the back of the box that it is a 4500K light. Other mushroom growers recommend a 6500K output (closer to daylight spectrum). It looks like you're yielding pretty well with it, but I'm wondering if you're doing any extra lighting? And thanks for the tips!

[@josiahking7477]

Awesome setup, I hope to be at your level some day. Instead of the AC unit you bought, why didn't you use a mini split ductless system?

[@benuovir]

What size mixer? 1yard or larger?

[@theshamanist113]

What's going on , how did you grow that fast? You want from a little weird Cabin in the Woods to an industrial warehouse and a few months, how's that possible? And it seems like you own funky fungi? That some of your stuff?

[@KG-fk4xo]

When are you going to make more videos? I've heard you had some issues at your new place, have you stopped or are you trying to find another location?

[@cmottBHBJJ]

Did you try using smaller caster wheels before cutting into the door frame? Thanks for all your videos!

[@JewellsGardens]

You know, I didn't, because I have so much weight on each shelving unit. I have 70 bags on each unit. Bags 10 lbs each so 700 lbs. I think the heavy duty ones are the only ones I'd trust

[@fionadarcey4049]

I missed you!

[@JewellsGardens]

Fiona Darcey awww, missed you guys too!

[@moogiesretirementhaven2265]

Congratulations !!! Lets do the math... outgrew hobbyist level grower in less than 6 mo, ... I give you a year max before you be wondering how you can operate in such a small space... Hope you are keeping an eye out for buying an old industrial building to retrofit... into mega East Coast Grower/supplier... also did the lease write any clause to hold you harmless for any fungi spore escapes? anyhooo so exciting to watch your evolution as a mush grower (and micro greens still?)

[@JewellsGardens]

Moogies retirement haven Lol, thanks! Nah, I think this spot is going to be good for a while but they did say I can get a larger space if I need to with no penalties. No clause, but the warehouse walls is made of cinderblocks and I had my contractors build the room for the grow within that. If nothing else the room can get demo’d.

[@royautrey5226]

which books did you read to get your initial info about mushrooms?

[@MyersMushroomsFarms]

Looks great jewell, clean, well besides the construction mess. With the single drum steamers 2x 110 or 130s would have been around the same capacity i think as your trough. How many bags are you fitting in the trough?

[@JewellsGardens]

Myers Mushrooms Thanks Eric! yeah two 130’s is about the same capacity as the trough but it was 2 (really 3) reasons I finally decided on the trough. Being able to lay the bags out without the need to compress cuts down on time & labor & I don’t have to bend down over the tall drum (everyone’s not 6’2” homie!) 😂

[@vencentbauer]

Buy your mix in bulk load the mixer with bobcat

[@yggtheterribleone8077]

Hell yeah get it!! My blues got contaminated 😧

[@JewellsGardens]

Ygg's Bonsai oh no! Figure out what happened if you can and make more

[@yggtheterribleone8077]

I'm growing outside. The blues are well colonized, 3 weeks in and there is green stuff growing on the surface, under the bucket lid. Maybe not enough air flow.. Wine cap is doing great though.

[@JewellsGardens]

Ygg's Bonsai hmmm. Yeah I’ve never grown in a bucket but that’s what I would think too, not enough that air flow. Jealous of the wine cap- I bought spawn but got so busy I never even used it!

[@yggtheterribleone8077]

You have to put holes in the bucket, drainage and air flow and it should pin on the sides. I might try again with more holes, and just use woodchips.

[@flyingnun]

Hey Jewell! can you talk about why you went away from tents?

[@JewellsGardens]

Michael Lee drainage. One of my biggest time killers was using a shop vac and I couldn’t do it anymore. I didn’t want to build a platform & cut holes in the tents plus one of my zippers finally broke- that was the final straw!

[@RonaldLeng521]

How much of the cost for each 10 pounds bag? Thank you.

[@ClickinChicken]

[@gavinlonergan4934]

get an angle grinder and cut an inch off the top of the shelving posts

[@JewellsGardens]

Gavin Lonergan we were gonna do that and realized the little shaved particles would go everywhere so we wound up using another hand held mini saw type thing that sliced it of in one swoop. Can’t think of the damn name. Anyway, they fit now!

[@Aelad99]

what is the square footage of that shop?

[@davidfricker3258]

Are you past break even? How are you financing the equipment and the expansion?

[@JewellsGardens]

David Fricker ha! Since the move I’m not even close to breaking even. The combination of a slower summer (since mushrooms don’t sell as well then) and much higher expenses, I haven’t really put a dent in it. Financed with a loan for the expansion

[@davidfricker3258]

was all this internally funded. eg from the profits of your smaller business?

[@JewellsGardens]

David Fricker dude, nah it’s called DEBT, lol! I didn’t take any personal money to pay for it if that’s what you mean, but it’s a combo of current earnings and debt that’s financing it. I won’t be taking a paycheck for a while

[@dpuerto]

Are you still using the same sterilization system?

[@JewellsGardens]

Sadly no, I no longer grow! If I was I’d be doing that though

[@davidfricker3258]

it looks like your set up to harvest at least 100 # a day. good for you.

[@JewellsGardens]

David Fricker 😂

[@ClickinChicken]

this is way beyond me. I just want edible mushrooms for over winter spaghetti/omelets. very interesting.

[@learningtolivewithhumans1859]

hun why would you break down the old room before you are growing in the new one? didnt you have it set up at home???

[@nikkiquan3265]

Hi do you wholesale fungi. I have lemongrass farm so thing growing mushrooms by using waist lemongrass

[@davidfricker3258]

No need to separate your spaning room from your lab. Fungi Perfecti doesn't. Their spawn bags are sealed, so no contamination, they are not fruiting (no spores) The air is HEPA filtered @ 5x a minute and their contamination unit is less than 1%. Their workstations have 0 particles/ ccm. Paul Staments is very knowledgeable, careful and successful. Follow the leader?

[@JewellsGardens]

David Fricker David, what do you mean by separating spawning room from lab? It’s one and the same for me?!? Or do you mean my “office space” from the lab? Yeah Paul knows what’s up for sure! My air definitely is going to have more particulates than his though for so many reasons (the front door is also in that room). Definitely not my ideal setup but none that I looked at were 😞

[@justinb261]

Nice to listen to a new mushroom farmer who doesn't improperly use big words every other sentence in order to appear well educated. (I'll go crazy if I have to sit through another video of a clueless guy using the word "utilize" in every sentence...) Subscribed because you didn't B.S.
