THIS IS OLD NEWS!!! CHECK OUT MY NEW VIDEOS!! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRUXjzjxUN10-K__w7VglgQ Introduction into my mushroom cultivation garage chambers. Current capacity of my walk in is 36 35-40 lb logs and the tier unit can fit 32 8-10 lb bags. I use oat, milo, or millet as spawn using quart jars. Spawn rate is 2-3 jars per straw log and 1-2 jars per wood and brewers grain bag. I plan to make a series including how i prep my spawn and straw logs. Total cost for the chamber was a bit shy of $1K and total operation is somewhere around $4k startup. Currently i'm making about $200-300 a week on this operation selling at farmers market and to local chefs. Once at full production i should be producing 30-40 lbs and making $300-400 a week hopefully. I forgot to say the blue pail on my harvest cart i put unmarketable fruits in for drying or my own consumption. Also i plan to get a second digital controller to control the swamp cooler. I'll have that controller set a few % higher than the ultrasonics so i won't need to swap the wiring with the weather. The swamp cooler uses a 275 gallon per hour FP300 fountain pump. I picked this model because it has threaded fittings to easily adapt to 1/2 NPT for the sprinkler.

Amazing! Thank you for sharing!

can you put blue pink and golden oyster s in the same growing room?

Amazing watching your videos! Seems like so much to know and learn. Where did you get your process?

your electric bills must be high? your set up is as nice as the pot growers have.

do you still use the preshredded hay from tractor supply, if so what kind of hay is it?

Where do you get your straw? I seem to only be able to find hay around here.

I can only find 1.8 GPH Per Outlet 4 outlet foggers... is it absolutely crucial that they be 0.8 gph for a room similar in size as yours.

this is overkill setup.

Hey Man, I just started your series and like with most series, I see you move to sterlizing (compared to pasterizing) and using sawdust blocks (compared to straw or other substrate) and see you move out of hanging logs to smaller laid down blocks. Just wanted to know your reasons for it.
But truly inspiring with all the experimentations and innovative approaches to your requirements. Thanks for doing this to help many of us walk down this road :)

Lol the perfect set up for the average Joe..

complicated

I'm thinking about trying something like this myself, amazing how complicated this gets. I need help!

thats bloody amaizing

only shitt with the same money you can buy mushrooms for years : ) .
Anyway nice job !

Also, do you filter out the chlorine or is it just particles as mentioned in this video? thanks

Is a mister necessary if you keep the humidity in the proper range?

is this more profitable than mmj?

Hi there, could you let me know what percentage of the bag weight actually comes out as fruiting bodies?I have about 12ft x 9ft of space to do something similar but I'm at the design stage and want to draw out multiple configurations that may work in this space, so I can calculate which 1 could give me the best efficiency. I need to know what the average yield is of 1 hanging bag is and also what is the weight of 1 bag....Thanks.

That's a great set up you have there. I'm over in Australia, just starting out with growing mushrooms. Do you inoculate your grow bags with grain spawn? I'm trying to start with a simple set up and eventually expand to a system like you have.
