One quick tip: use distilled water for the humidifier, especially on an ultrasonic humidfier. The distilled water wont leave mineral deposits.

This is how I began growing small fruiting blocks some years back!! This absolutely works, with a fan and opening a window once a day I had more tubs than I want to say growing lions mane and blue oysters rather well. This is also a great way to learn about environmental control small scale before taking the leap to a tent. I still use a few auto tubs for reishi to keep my tent full of fast fruiting species. The boom room 2 is also rather nice, just bought one for some breeding projects. Have to say im impressed with everything I have bought from north spore, great company

Use a hot nail to make small holes. Drilling can easily create cracks in the plastic. Running the hole saw backward is a neat trick, and again, you can create the pilot holes with a hot nail.

Great idea, I built a similar set up although without humidity control and it works great as a small size hobby frutting chamber, even for oyster mushroom. I would be cool to used in classrooms so kids can see the growth every day at school :)

Filter patches but … isn’t the fan blowing contaminated air over the substrate?
@maxst8831

if its negative pressure pulling air into the tub through the filters then its fine, not sure how long the fan will last with high moisture air though
@kaesh831

The filter patches help contain moisture inside the box more than it does to keep contamination out. The blocks you'd put in a fruiting chamber are fully colonized so they aren't as prone to contamination as they are during their colonizing period.

You aren't supposed to add the fan and humidifier until the tub is fully colonized. At that point, the substrate is very resistant to contamination and doesn't require the same level of cleanliness.

Quick question! It’s grow time in my monotub and I have your full kit with the humidifier and the fan. I’m keeping my humidity set at 80-90%. Thing I’m wondering about is the fan. Do I leave it on non stop? I don’t don’t have a timer for the fan so I don’t know what’s recommended for setting it? Just leave it on 24/7? Help please!?
@NorthSpore

It depends on your overall settings, your environment, and the species you are growing. I'd recommend starting with it on continuously and adjust from there 🙂

@@NorthSpore how do we know how fast to run the fan? Do we want minimal air exchange by only running the fan when the humidifier kicks on? Or do we want the fan running pumping air and the humidifier to be running almost constantly? Or cycling on and off every couple minutes?

I had water pooling on the side of my tub that I just found this morning. Not a ton, but a good amount 1/4 cup, is that something I should worry about? I of course re arranged my hose after noticing that.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by microfilter? If you're asking if you can filter the fan - yes - you just want to make sure the material doesn't hinder airflow.

You make a very valid point, however monotubs are most often associated with growing a single species of mushrooms. We've designed our tub to be compatible with many different species, particularly species that are very sensitive to CO2, like oyster mushrooms.

Doesn’t led light emits heavy metals? Not healthy for humans, how does this translates to mushrooms?
@NorthSpore

Interesting concern, thanks for sharing it. This kit doesn't currently contain any LED lights, but even if it did, the lights wouldn't be releasing heavy metals unless they were broken in some way. Even if there was a risk of lights releasing heavy metals, you could just keep the lights outside of the bin.

I believe the issue is more of the disposal part. What happens to all those when they fail, recycle or trash can?
