      This is the cool part about mushrooms, the community of professionals are generally interested from the standpoint of human health and longevity, so they bring that aspect to their industry.
      Also, let's be real, many have also likely grown a "variety" of species, and that fosters openness and creativity.

      Would the air exchange be dependent on how big your tent is ? I have a 4x4x6.65(104 cubic ft ) tent and 204cfm fan. So based on that I was thinking that I would need to have fan on for 30 seconds in order to fully exchange air intent . How often would need to do this?

  • @Teleshiva

    I super-admire your diligence and attention to cleanliness! In your situation it totally makes sense. But I used to work at a mushroom farm and in our grow area we almost never cleaned! The way it was set up was large and open and dirty. We had none of the technology for humidity control, heat control, etc, but we produced massive amounts of mushrooms on an extremely low tech system. It was similar to what you might see in India or China. I'm sure we had a lower productivity rate than your current setup, but the time saved in cleaning and the money spent and rent and technology was definitely worth it!

  • @glenw3814
    @glenw3814 3 года назад +1

    Idea: Put a some UV sterilization lights in the grow room for a few hours after cleaning to kill off any remaining microbes. Spread them around so there are no shadows for germs to hide in.

    Have you tried using a pressure washer to clean your tents? Like once it’s totally empty of bags, just jump in some oilskins, close the door behind you and start spraying everything down.
    You use the vacuum to suck up liquids anyway I guess. Could reduce 1/2h workload to 5min maybe. You’d have to get another detergent, though.

    • @mikesixx7655

    Would love to know more about humidifying set up. I love AC infinity, not sure if that’s what you’re using?
    Digging the keen eye to details thru your experience. 🙏🏼
