Pro tip: when using a hole saw to drill through plastic always reverse the drill. If you have a pilot bit on it go forward with that but reverse it for the hole saw and it will still cut just at a slower rate and is much less likely to crack.
I am looking for a better way to fruit two blocks so this great. Question and a comment: Q: if you are blowing unfiltered air into the chamber what is the purpose of the micro-pore tape on the exhaust? Or is the wicking cloth filtering enough and the micro-pore tape is filtering any spores and/or back flow? C: It can help to run the hole saw backwards on both sides to score the plastic before going forward (slowly pushing but spinning fast with the finest tooth you can get). The drill bit will still sometimes catch and pull the saw through too fast. I guess melting a hole with a soldering iron would be foolproof but not too good to breath.
Good question, and good comment! So I don't worry about filtering incoming air because it's not going to be a "clean" environment in there regardless. But I like to filter the outgoing air to keep it from sending spores out into the home. It also keeps things like flies from getting in (hopefully the fan would kill them on the intake side). And I like your idea about running the saw backwards to score the circle before going all the way through. I'll try that next time. I had thought about melting a hole as well, but test holes had worked pretty well with the hole saw, so I just went with that. Of course it waits until the camera's running to catch wrong. Still worked fine though:)
I'm a fan of constant ventilation, but I know opinions vary. The key is to ventilate at a low enough rate that it doesn't take an excessive amount of work to keep the humidity up. If you don't want to use a smaller fan, you can always get a "dimmer" cord, that is used to lower voltage to a plug-in light, and plug your fan into that. If it's not made to be a variable-speed fan, it may not have really good control that way, but I've used this method really successfully before.
Just get a mono tub and a small air purifier. Place the purifier lower than the mono tub so that the air blows upwards. Have the top on the mono tub for a while and off for a while…depending on the humidity in your area. You don’t need anything complicated or expensive
Well everything gets exposed to lots of different molds eventually, so whether it's a regular cleaning or a cleanup after a known contamination, you can use the same thing -- regular dish soap and hydrogen peroxide. If you're having problems with contaminated fruiting blocks though, it's probably not coming from your grow chamber. Nine time out of ten it's a problem with your spawn. It could also be from not adequately pasteurizing your substrate, but that's less common
I would just appreciate explanation (talk while working). Have to search for another video that does because you're video raises more questions (unanswered).
My son does the music. I'm proud of him and I stand by the music. If it doesn't suit you, I hope you'll make use of your volume button so it doesn't keep you from benefiting from the video. Happy growing, friend!
The only thing I would be concerned with getting in would be insects. If that happens, I would definitely cover the hole, but I haven't personally needed to do that. The cues that attract insects are all coming from the outflow side, which is covered. Other than that, normal things in the air won't hurt the developing mushrooms any more than they will hurt you:)
@@thefungalnetworkvideo it's funny because yesterday i was imagining about putting a fan for the same reason and today youtube poped out this this video randomly

This is great advice! Thanks for the contribution!
Yay! Fist time view, just subscribed to the channel and i already got to be like 100🎉 🧡🤙MUSH LOVE✌️🖖
Fist time huh? Don't that hurt?🤣🤣🤣
Lovely music :D Might try this, going to spray by hand the first time I try growing mushroom tho, thanks for the idea!
Thanks friend! Happy growing!

i have a similar setup, but much bigger fan being used outside the box/chamber...still trying to dial in fan running time, what would you recommend?

I love this.
Who's piano playing is this in the background
That's our son, Gabe. He does all of our music for videos. Nice to have a musician in the family!

Hello could you tell me how to clean a monotub that had trichoderma?
Well everything gets exposed to lots of different molds eventually, so whether it's a regular cleaning or a cleanup after a known contamination, you can use the same thing -- regular dish soap and hydrogen peroxide.

@thefungalnetworkvideo ok thank you !!!!
Some times the trich will get infused into the plastic..just throw away the tub..
Bleach water or hydrogen peroxide. Don't think alcohol will do it, I made that mistake and lost over 20 tubs.
@@SporeWhore661 ok thank you

Bro....the music. Wtf. No

You should put somekind of filter into the fan hole because you are letting all kind of sh--- inside
