Andrew, thanks for breaking your ventilation system down from the Lab to the grow room. And explaining the advantages of positive pressure in the Lab and negative pressure for the grow room! 👍
You dont over explain. I love how informative your videos are. Ive learned so much from watching them. Thanks for being an inspiration and sharing what you've learned along the way.
I have been reading up on ventilation in preparation of building my new grow room and i was surprised to learn that sharp turns in the ducting really affect the flow rate of fans so you might want to look into it and maybe trim a bit of the duct in 9:34 so there is more of a straight line, unless there is a reason for it. Great video! how about temperature, is your incubation room warmer than your grow room? do you use an AC anywhere?
A sharp corner in a metal dryer vent almost burnt my house down! Lint built up in there, and someone put the lightning rod a bit too close to the duct...
You can use a higher pressure blower to introduce a venturi effect in a duct using air outside to "push" inside air out.. You can keep your blower out of the path of the exhaust, we use bounce house blowers to create this effect in bag making to keep our fans out of the exhaust. Works great but is energy intensive
To help save on replacing fans, what about putting them on the outside of the grow room and creating a venturi with piping to suck the air out. No spores going into fan.
Perfect Andrew! Perfect information for the person trying to put the BEAST (aka all the diy engineering) into ACTION! Addressed every question I had in this regard. I'm sure you were helpful to others in this stage of planning and its very easy to follow your information. We look forward to the first multiple 12lb bag oyster flush! The Frankenstein I built indoors. 2'x2' ft hepa merv13 @290cfm.... Lab: 360cuft Fruiting: 420cuft Positive pressure lab and a negative fruiting room...the laminar flow blower is powering the fruiting room exaust at the moment @ a constant 290cfm. Also positive pressure from the lab is used for blowing the 12disk fogger @ 290cfm. With this rate of flow 290cfm: HI RH% 82 Low RH% 70 It goes from 82% to 70% in about 11 and 11 minutes from 70% back 82%. Inkbird controler. Seems like plenty of airflow but I dont know until I get there. I could increase airflow if I wanted. This is what Im starting with. Thanks for the help!
It would be great to see an update on your preconditioner and HVAC solution ? Would you be inclined to place an air con unit in the preconditioner to control temp before : 1. Pipe some conditioned air to lab via flow hood and multiple filter setup 2. Send remainer conditioned air to incubation to create a positive pressure environment, @ 20 c approx 3. Create a negative pressure environment in Grow or Fruiting room to extract co2 and maintain fae. 4. How would you increase the temps slightly in the grow room to 24 c ? For optimal fruits? Conversely, in the summer you may need to chill to 24 c? For optimal fruits? So would you consider replacing a heater, with an additional air con specifically for the grow rooms only ? 5 or is have two different room at two different temperatures to hard and wasteful to achieve? So, best only regulating temperature within the preconditioner at 20 c . So is best to place an air con and optional heater within the preconditioner? 6. Lastly, how do you recover any exhausted heat or cooling ? Probably with a radiator tied into the HVAC that works with the preconditioner? A bit of a ramble, too many questions, i do hope to see an update from your new place/solution , will keep tuning in
That's a lot of necessary air exchanges. I'm curious how do you heat or cool your incoming air? Is it done inline in the duct? Hopefully for many months you don't need to heat or cool. But what about the cold winter and hot summer months?
i think the sharp turn in the ducting is made to prevent any condensed water to reach back to the fan. i also want to know more about temperature (do you use an AC for that ? that's a crucial question for me and i thank CMZ neu for asking it) and the humidifier. As for the video, it's great as usual, thanks a lot.
Thank you for this, I especially appreciated the idea of using your laminar flow to create positive pressure in your lab. May I ask what fan you are using to make this work?
Are those holes in your flow hood repaired with silicone caulk? I only ask because thats what my flow hood looks like and I’m glad I’m not the only one!!
ANDREW + SAMANTHA THANKS SO MUCHO! LOVE YOUR INFORMATIVE VIDEOS! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME TO SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND OPERATION KNOW HOW! Also, thanks for putting your name up so that I can see it; sometimes you say it so fast and I am so s l o w that I couldn't quite catch it. Your mushroms are SO BEAUTIFUL!
ok that time it worked ya made me subscribe . ive watched the knowledge you share and i find it awesome thanks man for documenting your progression i will be selecting the vids in gratitude that i need to watch . i am a beginner and i want to thank you , thank you .
Great Information. Gives me a good place to start designing out my system. Thank you for all Y'all do!!! I sent an Email with the Indigo Milk Caps pics as promised. Have an Awesome Day!!!
Thanks. I am new to studying mushrooms and it was my first mossy ck clip. I notice your bags in the grow room are very close together. Do you only puncture holes in the outward facing direction? Curious to how you grow them so close and not damage the product when harvesting. Cheers.
Really enjoying your show. I hope you splurge this Christmas and get yourself a proper lab table surface. Hoping you and your family have a great smaller holidays. Oh, you might want to do a white board drawing of the flow from room to room. It would save your voice for the important tips about how to read your mushrooms. T.Y. Looks like you will be renting warehouse space before you know it. Well done.
I friggin love your setup and def alot of good information. I'm starting to get into growing gourmets clearly theres money to be made so gonna try it's kinda cool that like you can make money off of mushroom letting mushrooms do what they do colonize and fruit.
Thank you for this video, I’m guessing the same thing happens to cubensis when they’re too much CO2, heard the caps were more a little potent than the stem
Can someone help me out? I just bought a 40x40x80 inch grow tent. What size exhaust fan would I need? I was thinking a 4inch inline fan would work. I'm just starting and probably wouldn't have more than 4 lions mane fruiting blocks at a time. Also I'm going to try and use my room humidifier on the grow tent. Ok I'm going to sub and hit the 👍 button. Thanks
So if you're exhausting grow room air to the outside you must be pulling air from the rest of the house. Right? How does this affect your heating and cooling costs for the rest of the house where your living space is? Or are you pulling fresh air directly from outside, like through the rim joist somewhere?
Hello ! I have a question! :D (Very rewarding video, thank you) If I understood your video correctly, in a monotube it would be better to put a fan that sucks the air out of the box to reject it outside in order to evacuate the Co2 and to incorporate oxygen? (through other holes + micropore) If this is the case, the risk of introducing contaminants must be significantly reduced in these circumstances. What do you think?
High I love your videos and this one was very interesting as Im a newbie and live in New Zealand, my question for you is how many kgs or pounds are your fruiting blocks and if you had your fruiting room in a grow tunnel outside that has natural venting do you think they would go ok.. I can still install a fan if I notice elongated growth yes? Keep up the great videos.
Thnx for this video...I figure that my incubation room really needs some sort of ventilation...currently it's almost sealed... also, does lack of ventilation during one phase, i.e. incubation, trigger deformed mushrooms in the grow-room? Also, is the a video where you show us an example of various oyester mushrooms it states of perfect, dry, to moist Nd lack of ventilation...that will really be helpful
good day to ya,,, I was very sad to know that my computer can not forward to any of the url s being put up,, It says,"because this site doesn't have a secure connection,, I wanted to check some of your grain cultures to order..Maybe when you get the warehouse up and running there will be a better connection,,more secure,, just thought you might need to know this kink.. hagd..
Nice shrooms look like loads of fun, I have 5 x5 and want to bring up the humidity, The house of hydro has 1 mist maker, would that work for me or should I get the 3 mist maker?
At what point are you cutting the bags open? I have oysters that begin to pin in the bag before it is even fully colonized and they poke through wherever they want regardless of where I put the cuts.
Hi , my name Is Demian from argentina, i really love your job, and examples flor the mushrooms. I wanna show you some inconvenient that i have un muy grow room, maybe u can help me with your experience
Hi, I stuffed up and mixed by accident two different oyster strains together (Sajor Caju + Italian) Do I get now 2 different oyster growing out the bag or do I just get rid of this mixed oyster mushroom strain.:( :( Please advice Thanks.
Great video, but can you explain how to dip and clean the fans? I can't find info on this anywhere. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I don't want to ruin mine 🙆♀️

How you control temperature in grow room? How you heat and how you cool your grow room?
Excellent video! Does it make more sense to have the exhaust fan down low to pull more CO2 out of the grow room?
Wondering the same.
Thank you for this, I especially appreciated the idea of using your laminar flow to create positive pressure in your lab. May I ask what fan you are using to make this work?
Thanks this is great - thank you. We're just starting off our farm and there aren't enough videos like this to navigate the trouble spots!!!
Very informative! Nice one!
At 12:56 the bags all have an asterisk (*). That reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut.
Are those holes in your flow hood repaired with silicone caulk?
I only ask because thats what my flow hood looks like and I’m glad I’m not the only one!!
This is such a neat, informative video. You guys are awesome!
I think it's better to over-explain than it is to under explain. I think your video was fine

How does this affect your heating and cooling costs for the rest of the house where your living space is? Or are you pulling fresh air directly from outside, like through the rim joist somewhere?
Humid air is less dense than air. Humidity is 804g/m^3, air is 1220g/m^3. What you mean is the mist that is slowly falling down!
Bro I love your HVAC strategy!
My question is, do you ever clean the ducts? I would think the spores will clog those ducts.
Awesome video thank you for the information!

Hello !

Link to your vortex fan?
Might be a stupid question, what if you used an oxygen tank for the fruiting process? Can you have to much O2
Curious why you said not to have a filter on your air fan? Would it clog up fast?
Appreciate all your videos!
most of the fresh air in the farm is put through 3 filters so internal air movers are moving filtered air... I guess!
The whole duct setup looked too long and restricted with bends. The filter probably added too much resistance.
Idk if the condo association will let me pull of a system like this :/

Do any of you all deal with tons of condensation runoff in your exhaust ducting?
Wondering what your electricity bill is - makes me wonder how 'shrooms grow in the wild. Doesn't seem possible. Missing something.
Positive pressures pushes the door closed negative pressures swings it open?
for button mushroom its appropriate to use wood ? its clean??
so for negative pressure, i need one inlet fan that is weaker and one stronger outlet fan?
... ARENT YOU LOSING A LOT OF EXTRACTION POWER AS AIR GOES ROUND THE u-BEND BY FAN?
