- This Mushroom Greenhouse is perfect for learning how mushrooms grow with certain environmental controls. The tent can be fine tuned to your specific needs.
Regular cleaning with bleach/water solution is recommend to prevent a dirty fruiting area.
Set humidistat to turn on at 75% humidity and turn off at 85% humidity and set the exhaust fan to turn on for 15 minutes every hour.

I recognized the channels name from etsy ! I got my lions mane and oyster LC today. you rock!
I have a set up just like this 👍. She's going to be so full in the next week or 2
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!
I appreciate the feedback, good luck my friend!
Gotta love the feline supervisor! Thanks for the info 👍🏼

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 👍🏽
What speed do you have the humidifier? And also the exhaust fan please?
Very helpful, thanks. How does fresh air get to the upper shelves?
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.
@@SporenSprout Excellent, thanks for the explanation.
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!
If ducting out of a windows there is no filters needed. Yes 15 mins per hour is good for everything
@@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?
@@Letmedomyshit You can put the sensor anywhere you want. Middle is good. I put my in different spots depending on how it’s performing.
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!
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.
Could you also tell me what size is the width of the tube you use to attach it to the humidifier?
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)
All help is appreciated ty
Yeah just a bigger tent and bigger humidifier. Here’s a quick video I made setting up a giant tent. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRHVaHKa/
@@SporenSprout thanks have a good Halloween
@@SporenSprout what brand of tent is your big one
Great video! What was the total cost of the build? Thanks!!
Thanks for watching. The total cost was roughly $240.
How much electricity does this setup use? Can you notice a difference in your electric bill?
I don’t notice a difference. Probably $10 or something.
hey great vid, can you tell me how you are controlling the temperature? I live in a hot and humid environment want to grow lions mane , ay help will be appreciated
You will have to use air conditioning
how often do you have the humidifier running daily as well as the duct fan to pull co2 out?
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.
Does the humidifier regulate temperature as well? I didn’t understand your temp system here.
No there is no temp system. Use house heat/air conditioning. Room temperature is good.
How do I purchase the thing you connect the air ducting to that mounts in the window? Thanks!
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.
Hello, I am looking for the timer plug that you use in the video, so that the exhaust fan turns on for 15 minutes every hour of the day. I was searching on Amazon but I can't find it, could you share the link or give me the name and model of the brand you use, I would appreciate it.
What speed is your fan on
How long does it take to have rust on your selves from the water vapour of your humidifer ?
A few months. You can coat the metal in something that will prevent rust.
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.
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.
Do you have an affiliate link for the timer you use for the exhaust fan?
amzn.to/3E6xC9x I just set it to exhaust for 15 minutes every hour.
Where can I get some tubing that would be a good size to get it from a humidifier to the greenhouse?.
My tubing came from a space heater that I got from Amazon.
Is the room preconditioned to maintain the temperature in the tent? Just wondering how you get the temp in the tent consistent.
I just try to maintain 70F in the room that the tent is in. In the winter I use propane heat or electric space heater. In the summer on the really hot days I use air conditioning.
@@SporenSprout thanks 🙏🏼 I appreciate your work, will be buying some spawn from you in the near future
You have the humidifier sensor right below the humidifier duct? Seems like you will get false readings
Works fine for me. You can put it wherever works best for you.
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.
@@SporenSprout thanx bro will add after I got Co2 controller
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.
@@SporenSprout thank you so much for the quick reply
Do you water it with a spray bottle or do we rely on humidity?
thank you
You don’t have to use a spray bottle and the exhaust fan alone is good enough for fresh air exchange.
@@SporenSprout thank you
bro make us a vid showing how you made the custom hose on humidifier
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.
@@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
Do you only need a exhaust for shiitake do you need a fresh air intake or is only humidty enough?
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 again for your reply !
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?
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.
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.
How much light do they need per day also what sort of temps thanks
12 hours on and 12 hours off works fine, try to stay around 70 degrees F
@@SporenSprout thank mate is just normal led lights ok or do they need to have a spectrum light thanks
@@kingcarper6511 any regular led will work.
How do you manipulate O2 and CO2 levels?
Exhaust fan removes co2 and replaces the air all by itself.
what u recomend for temperature
70-75 F
how long does the fan stay on per day?
15 mins per hour
Where can I get that massive grow tent
amzn.to/3Q1TNnU
Thank you so much!!!
How do you time the airflow turn on/off ?
I just have one exhaust fan on a timer that is sufficient for air exchange in this small chamber. It’s on a timer to run for 5-10 mins every hour.
@@SporenSprout the 15 minute increment timer do you have a link for it?

@@SporenSprout thank you very much
Will this work with a rice grow bag?
Yes
@@SporenSprout you have changed my life sir. Thank you.
@@loopgodjohansen I appreciate the feedback! Thanks for watching and good luck!
Lol
You can take that bag and make a whole fruiting block or tub :o
how you control the temperature?
Air conditioning in the building.
@@SporenSprout at my building temperature is not that ideal and changes especially in the winter. If i get a humidifier with adjustable temperature will do the jod dont you think?
@@EmmanouilD That might work or try a swamp cooler.
What temps you stay at inn the summer/ winter
Temperature of room?
70 F
What speed do you have the humidifier? And also the exhaust fan please?
High speed humidity and medium speed exhaust fan.
