Thank you for shearing the reasoning behind the double fruiting rooms. Nicely explained. Really enjoying the series and finding it very helpful as I finished designs for my first build. (Devon,UK)
Love your videos and explanation's to why and how you do what you do. So very helpful! Thank you for the white board example. GOLD! Just what i was looking for. "A weekly schedule/plan of cycles". I'm looking at expanding my little home set up to being a more substantial size to be able to be commercially reliable. Good on you! keep up the good work and best of luck with the business. I'm learning via youtube watching the same people and books just as you are. An exciting industry! Cheers.
your build looks great! I operate a mushroom farm in Florida.. very hot!! so we battle with cooling the air most of the year... best to you!!! love your content!
It's an interesting concept and since you are mainly growing one species i guess it could work, at the very least is better than FFTFF's way that if i recall correctly(maybe i'm mistaken) he moves bags from one room to another depending on different stages which seems insane! but if he makes it work good for him. Your way will work as long as you can keep the temps very stable, otherwise it's gonna get really messy and confusing, I personally don't trust my mushrooms enough to expect them to follow a schedule lol so you are a braver man than I, good luck with this and I hope it works out.
Moving bags by hand was one of the things that always got to me, so i decided the rolling rack system. With my setup I am aiming to keep temps around 18c all year. I have a 10kw heat pump feeding these two rooms.
what is this panel material you built these rooms from? it looks really nice! im so impressed at your wide skillset and DIY attitude! Your videos are immensely helpful
Thanks for adding my question to the video! It does make sense. I’m building a 40m2 fruiting room as well and had the idea of just one big room for all varieties but it makes sense to brake it up in two. Are you leaving the air vent on 24/7?
What supplier did you get these rooms from? They look sleek and perfect for what you're needing. Perhaps you are mimicking the "Fridge Panel Grow Room" from GroCycle?
Video starts with: "It's been a hard few weeks here, I've been sort of struggling to get stuff done." Me who's been following all the stuff that has been done: "yeah that definitely not true!" I really wish you all the success. Remember you are running a marathon not a 100m sprint. Take care to not burn yourself before you have even started. Really appreciated the whiteboard explanation too!
We use a small pin set room and racks on wheels to move them to a fruiting room where they get spaced out from one rack to 2.5 racks. I like your set up though.
Hello, just finished building my mushroom farm northwest of Canada with shipping containers. I was thinking about your problem with the humidity and my idea for budget can be having 1000psi pump on a timer set up for approximately 75%humidity than having a fogger build on a rolling cart with a humidistat for 90%, easy to move and clean.
Hi Tom love your posts. I’ve got a couple of questions if you don’t mind answering? First of all, what height are your Ceilings on the New Fruit Rooms ? Secondly, is 100mm thick walls more beneficial, I noticed you went with 50mm walls. Cheers
Good stuff! I’m in the process of expansion with two shipping containers. Are you going to be having the humidifier tub inside the fruiting room or outside and feeding in with ducting and will you be making it so the preconditioned air is combined with air from humidifier or does it not matter too much if they are fed in separately, potentially at different times?
Can you get on top of the ceiling of the rooms if you ever want to clean that surface? Or is it not that resistant? It is 2" expanded polystyrene right?
if you harvest for about 6 days out of 20, you could have three rooms and stagger them so that there is continuous steady harvesting. Although I guess you're doing the same by having 2 batches per room.
Hey Charl, how's the family going? I hope your bro ruan is staying out of trouble... its actually more than 6 days, but the video doesn't show the end of cycle before the first example (there should be another above it etc). Its about 9 days of first flush harvest, and about the same for second flush harvest out of every 20 days.

Do you have a blue print for the fruiting chamber?
Another fantastic video Tom. The crop rotation is something we experimented with very early, and 2 rooms makes it much easier.
Cheers mate. I am hoping this eases up production. We are aiming for 250-350kg per week when running at capacity.
Nice insight on crop rotations and humidity. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

Awesome work! Super excited for you guys 👍 Looks clean and I love the crop cycle explanation I think it will work out great 🤟
I appreciate that you find the time for these videos. Thanks for sharing and keep it up :) greetings from Czechia

@@OakandSpore Maple Brook Mushroom Co.
Congratulations, Very proud of you. Thank you for your time and effort.
Thanks for supporting me :)
Thank you!
Fantastic. Great information for my little baby grow area. :) I can wait for the next!
Glad it was helpful!
Man you're amazing for giving us all this knowledge. Also I pissed myself at the start.
Very nice job mate. Really impressive.
Loving these videos
Thanks mate! Hope you can learn something.

@@OakandSpore could you please share the make and model of the heat pump?
So exciting to see your farm coming together. You have definitely inspired me to make a channel to document my build, once I get the funding.
Making a YT channel can be hard work, but also rewarding at the same time :D
@@OakandSpore editing footage is alot of work on its own
Don't worry man! You do you, take your time, build that farm and show us your crops when you have time!!
I will defiantly show you the crops!
what is this panel material you built these rooms from? it looks really nice! im so impressed at your wide skillset and DIY attitude! Your videos are immensely helpful
Looking forward to follow-up video of wardrobe installation and subsequent narnia visit
Nice work very detailed and explained thank you for sharing 👍🏽
Glad it was helpful!
Keep up the great work mate. Great setup. I’m learning heaps from you tube. Pretty née at this
Good to hear!

the air vents will be controller with a building automation controller and cycle up and down as the co2 rises and lowers.
amazing work
Thank you! Cheers!

Well done, it is hard building it yourself.
Onwards and upwards though. As long as the beersies are restocked.
Allways need a cold beersie..
I watch your videos to learn about growing.
I hope you can learn something!
@@OakandSpore I've learned tons. Informative content, keep up the great work.

Sounds like you have a good idea though! Moving bags on my last farm was hard.
schmicko! very tidy
Thanks!

We are looking at using high pressure as well.
@@OakandSpore my fruiting room is a 53ft Macdonald trailer and pass the first cold temp of -7c with lot of snow.

Mine are 2.4 tall. Yes I wish I had gone thicker than 50mm, but it would cost a bit more.
Awesome. Thanks Tom!

I think we will go to high pressure humidification.

Can you get on top of the ceiling of the rooms if you ever want to clean that surface? Or is it not that resistant? It is 2" expanded polystyrene right?
Yes you can climb on top. It's polystyrene sandwiched between painted steel sheet. Its really quite strong.
WHERE DID YOU SOURCE YOUR DOORS? I AM IN TEXAS. HOW WOULD I DESCRIBE THEM WHEN TRYING TO FIND LOCALLY?
the doors are made from the same panel the walls are made from. They just add the aluminium surrounds, window, and handle.
Noice! Internal height in fruiting rooms? I feel that love for them drains...
internal is 2.35m
What RUclips channel you speak about at 7:47 ?? I can't hear properly, this can't be one I don't know about my espionnage mission failed ¿...
Myers mushrooms, mossy creek mushrooms, and fresh from the farm fungi.
if you harvest for about 6 days out of 20, you could have three rooms and stagger them so that there is continuous steady harvesting. Although I guess you're doing the same by having 2 batches per room.

Hi, nice Videos!!! Do you need help on your Mushroomfarm? I want to leave Germany and i have knowllege in Mushroom cultivation. No Joke!!!
How much $ money per lb are you selling these mushrooms for?
snazzy set up man 🤙🏾
Thanks mate!
