Is it possible to achieve positive pressure by using only one flow hood or are two needed to achieve the effect? Can you share with us the name of the paint manufacturer and epoxy seal coat you used please? Thanks for the info and looking forward to more videos on your progress!
It’s a sherwin Williams paint and you don’t have to have 2 flow hoods. You can run a can hepa filter to supply fresh air from outside to the lab or you can just scrub it with another fan and filter in the same room.
What Jason said. It's Sherwin Williams pre catalyzed epoxy. Yes you can use one hepa. You just need to pull air from outside of the room and recirculate with the same fan, i.e. use a "T."
Is that a "through the window" AC unit IN your clean room? Yikes. You really should consider a couple bacteriacinerators rather than an alcohol burner. The rest looks ok to me. Wishing you luck.
Yep, a window unit. If you noticed the window unit, you probably also noticed the entire thing spray foamed in the window....... flames kill microbes view heat, how does the bacteriacinerator function?
Bacteriacinerator are these things you put your scalpel in, tbh depends on time, $, you’d think someone of your scale would have one; but it makes me feel good because it’s not something that’s going to make or break a mycologist but I’ve heard it helps work flow. Great idea on the ac fan
@@earthangelmushrooms2118 Just FYI, window units do NOT have good internal seals; you are very likely getting some contamination through this unit and through the window seals/frame. I would completely close off that window by caulking a single sheet of acrylic over the molding, and switch your AC to a mini-split type (which holds more consistent temps anyways).
You should also put an outlet cover over that outlet or remove it entirely. Honestly, you should cover all the walls with FRP so you can spray it all down periodically. Remove all through-wall outlets and put in some weatherproof outlet boxes directly connected to breakers. You don't want any wall penetrations (potential air leaks, and any contaminants in the wall cavity). I'd put tyvek down and them cement board over everything, then FRP with all seams caulked. If you don't want to do that, you should put a grow tent inside the room with a hepa filter air exchange to the outer room (but still address the AC issue and wall penetrations).
I dig your ethic and discipline, but I also disagree with you on many aspects of how you view things as well as the process. Cultures are important, but the way you talk about it literally scares people away and has them second guessing themselves. You can put a culture to grain immediately. Not everyone is growing mushrooms in a commercial setting or for a living/business. And a lot of individuals need their own experience to even understand what you’re talking about. I myself have learned over time what I like , how I want it, and how to get it. So I stick with my methods. But overall appreciate your time and knowledge buddy! Keep the videos coming. I love seeing others views and opinions on things. Maybe you got something I missed and vice versa. This craft always has something new to learn. Never think you know it all.
Lol you definitely can put lc straight grain, he's just trying to save you the headache and $...not sure your setup or sourcing, but if your spending $25 on a 5 pound bag of grain and you inoculate 4 bags of your grains with contaminated lc you just lost $100 and a couple weeks of time...trust me I been there, I could have avoided it by testing my lc on a $3 petri dish. This is especially important if you sourcing lc from new suppliers.
Tell that to the 1000lbs of grain a week im inoculating with liquid. It's easy to be intimidated or scared of something new or that we don't know much about. I get it, because I'm in that boat. We need to push ourselves to learn new things and grow our knowledge.
The scrapyard tip is gold! Thank you! 😊
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING! YOUR EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE ARE SO APPRECIATED!
Definitely would like a liquid culture video
My takeaway was to keep the airflow circular and scrubby in the lab. That was the info/principle I was searching for. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!
Nice new setup, really interested in the liquid spawn technique!
Nice set up TR!
Amen on quality cultures!
Good to see your still kicking azz...!
Good to see you still going strong brother
Awsome lab! Do a video on how you do liquid culture!
Man you´re the best! I´m eatin´ your content all up. numnumnum
Earth angel,earth angel...the one I adore
very nice hepa setup man
is the FLow Hood youre running a Fan & Filter unit from Myers or did you just get the hepa for your own Flow Hood box/fan?
Inspiring set up. I need to jump back in when i can afford it again
Too busy with all that sweet brown nectar down there aren't you
@@earthangelmushrooms2118 that sweet nectar can really grab a hold of you hahahha i love SoFlo

Thank you! Any tips to get rid of blotch?
Your new lab looks bigger than the room you started in that you showed in another video.
Where did you source that long HEPA filter?
Positive pressure - I’m assuming you’re pulling in fresh air so is that going directly into flow hood hepa ?
Great info....I have two fans in that configuration. My room is not as clean. How is your Brazilian project going?
Yeah, you should update us on the Brazilian project...
I'll give an update on Brazil as soon as i can.
what is the price per kilogram of mushrooms?

Is that some gray I see in the beard? All due to starting a mushroom business?
my beard is contaminated😉
Just a few spores dusting! I love it. My best to you and yours, keep up the good works.
Dude?!?! No Hepa Promo code?
You look like the priest from the Sopranos
What's the purpose of plate checking?
You plate check to verify there is no contamination.

Liquid cultures are BUNK. You are like the best cultivator I know man, but idk about liquids.

Would love to see the technique you’re using. Are you doing needles and silicone ports or pouring?
What on gods green earth are you blathering about, man?
