I helped a good friend if mine set up a chamber this size when he was getting started, two years later he was the only gourmet mushroom supplier in our city, supplied most of the local restaurants, including the one I owned, on a daily basis, and was doing extremely well, he passed in a motorcycle accident on May 5th, miss ya Jess. Wye Mountain Mushrooms.

best produced tut ive EVER seen on ANYTHING! IMMEDIATE SUB!!!!

This video is the best grow tent video I’ve seen. So under rated as a video producer.

...laughed my arse off at the comment about your GrandFather "Keeping him in the dark..." That was hilarious. Thanks for the video, super helpful. You seem to be really forward-thinking in your approach.

See, now in my experience you actually needed a gravity damper and light dust filter at your outake and controllable dampers for you intake to restrict airflow. In an ideal situation youd want to recirculate your air through an air handling chamber and only pump in fresh during pinning, for more control on mushroom quality and formation. Sure the air handling unit will get full of spores but you have to clean your stuff between crops as good hygiene practice anyway. A small pressure washer works great for quick cleaning and applying an antimicrobial

This is one of the better mushroom tent videos out there. Thanks. hope to see more videos soon

if you add a uv sterilizing light in your humidifier, and have a black tote you will keep the water clean! great build, keep it up

Awesome Build! Learned a bunch, thanks!

loved this in depth video. thanks a lot for sharing !

So thorough and organized. Thank you for sharing this, I loved it

Man this video is awesome 👌 👏 🙌 been wanting to try out some home mycology and have the majority of things you listed here, great explanation of how and why you set it up the way you did thanks a lot for sharing

Very informative video!! Thank you so much!!

incredibly valuable video!

Great job making this video, very informative and useful too. Thank you.

I'm glad you made the spread sheet with the prices so we can can track inflation. :-) This video has been super helpful. I went with this set up. Having the spreadsheet made it a lot easier to buy everything at once.

Excellent work, I am setting up a tent based grow and you are very appreciated!

Thanks a lot for this great, in depth video! It answered so many questions I had. Waiting for the temp controller reveal :)

its always a great day when Fresno Mycology Society makes an upload. your videos are so inspiring to me as an aspiring citizen botanist/mycologist

AWESOME ROOM!

Amazing video thank you for your work!

Well made and thought out. Great stuff 👏

I’m so glad you shared about this channel on Instagram! So cool to see your growing chamber! I’m so impressed with how organized and thoughtful it all is. So freaking Cool

Great video. Very informative. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome video, very informative!!

Very nice controller setup ! 🍄♥️

This has been the video I’ve been looking for to help me do exactly what you show. I didn’t know how to get it all properly set up and u explained everything great and I understood how. I already have everything I need, materials and parts so I’m going to set it up tomorrow, hopefully. I’ll b sure to send u a pic once it’s done. 👏👍🍄

This is amazing! You did such a good job with this grow tent :D

Modeled my build pretty closely to yours! Loving the controllablity...Mush love!

Great video Nathan!

Great video! Answered tons of questions i didn't know i had.

EXCELLENT video!

Great video, great advice.

Nice build 🍄🙏

this is awesome. many thanks

Easily one of the best build vids iv ever seen

This one must have just slipped under my radar, fantastic video and well made. My Martha is currently somewhere between this and a cheap green garden poly tent, I'm looking forward to upgrading it further to something like this!

Great video btw! I hope to get a set up like yours one day

The Fungalow is a high tech do it yourself set up. I learned so much from your maticulous cleanliness. Thank you for showing us the way.

Thank you so much for the great information and new video!! 😁👍XxX

Hey Nathan glad to see you are still growing mushrooms. I've always wondered if grow tents would make good fruiting chambers, great work

I am currently in the process of developing a mushroom fruiting tent and stumbled upon this video when looking to YT for inspiration. Yiur video was full of great information and had real impressive production. I appreciate how thorough you were with documenting your methodology of developing it piece by piece and your accompanying rationale. Very cool stuff, thank you!

Well, I got everything today and I'll be building over the next few days. I am so excited!! I hope you will post a follow-up video soon and perhaps another one on that AC unit.

Nice and good information 👍👍 " thankyou for sharing"

Best overall explanation of mushroom cultivation I've seen so far. Amazing job 🤙🤙🤙

Thanks for sharing this video and information about this subject matter. Peace ☮️

Brother your setup is very very neat, well done, solid setup!!

Thanks for sharing

Thank you for this. It was extremely helpful

THANKS for sharing, I just put up my 3x3x6 ac infinity tent for culinary mushrooms and going to use ac/inf 6" fan to exhaust with into an old ac/inf carbon filter to catch spores as I pump into my 4x8 grow tent for added co2

Great video man! Really good job. Bravo…. Truly the best video I’ve seen about this topic. Honestly, from a standpoint of being concise and packing your video full of valuable information, not wasting a second, this is probably the best instructional video I’ve seen on KZfaq in my life.

That's pretty much the setup I just started based on Kyle Gabriel's Mycodo test bed. I"m sure I'll be adding a floating fog generator soon enough to replace the ultrasonic humidifier. The AC Infinity tents are great!

Thanks for all the info! I think you encounter algae contamination before the uv filter, because you have a transparent box an algae feeds on light, maybe you should try to change the type of plastic in case the uv light fails! Either way amazing set up! And thank you for addressing the spore dangers, lots of young folks are doing fruiting chambers on bedrooms!

Omg, thank you for your video!!!!!

Thanks for this educational end very detailed video. I have no clue about growing , nor how to DIY stuff, but heck. im investing in a cloudlab 844 and setting this up to learn :D Thank you so much.

Most well made grow video I ever seen! Shout out to Clovis (Only locals in Fresno will know)

Mycological masterpiece 🤘

Wow that is quite the evolution from the old marha very neat and cleanable.Keeps the mushrooms from growing in your walls and your lungs that’s a good thing. One thing that I have had issues with that I noticed the water can get inside those hollow poles that support the tent all you need to fix this is using aluminum or duct tape wrapped around the seems where the poles connect. I didn’t notice this until I took one apart and they were a bit rusty quite vectory a water trap inside.

Yay an upload!!!

I’ve been coming back over and over to this video. It’s just the best one that’s available. It would be cool to see an update after this long. Just how it went, how it’s going and what kind of upgrades that you did over time?

Yes as someone already stated about your humidity chamber. Clear containers or even a black container that will let light sneak in will cause alge to grow. However I am very new to the mushroom cultivating as why I had come across your build video. Long time cannabis grower here. As they are both very similar but very different at the same time. Not sure if you already are keeping a log book of your grow, if not I found it very useful to keep one so if you ever have any problems you can always go back to your daily log book to see what you can zero in on. Thank you for sharing your video as it will help many others to see and understand how the process is. Happy growing

Thanks for helping the rest of us with the knowledge gained from your hard earned experience. Now I won't make those mistakes. I'll certainly make other mistakes!

Hey buddy I’m just starting out. Love your videos. Thanks for the input.

A great resource for building a functioning fruiting chamber. I built mine according to directions, and tweaked a few things. First of all, I use an EZY storage tote that's 50L instead of the 19L. It's the right size for the nebulizer, though it was difficult to find. I had to get it on eBay. When making the holes I used a woodburner which gave me more precise cuts. When installing the plexiglass guards beneath the fan and the duct, not just any glue will work. They're made of polypropylene, and the only glue that worked for me was Loctite all-plastc glue. I glued a brace onto it and then glued it to the tote. The manuals for the AC Infinity Controller 67 and the Inkbird ITC-608T Temp/RH Controller were confusing, especially the Inkbird. KZfaq does have some excellent videos addressing this. All in all, this is an excellent video from the FMS and I highly recommend it.

very impressive

Thank you so much for making this. I wanted to try a similar approach but was honestly overwhelmed by how to start and what would be needed. You answered so many of my questions (and in less than 20 minutes!)

Bro this is a perfect video , im suprised this hasnt blown up yet!

Big note! BIG NOTE! the ac infinity carbon filter isn’t good for contam, it’s for filtering out tomato air, that’s why he bought a HEPA filter

Looks great man! One suggestion would be to get a blacked out tote or spray paint your clear one black. Algae won't grow if it's pitch black. Still recommend a weekly cleaning of the tote.

Awesome video! It’s funny, I’ve been wanting to put together a Martha tent at my new place. I originally considered buying a greenhouse cover separately to put over one of those wire kitchen racks (for sturdiness). I got to thinking then though, why even use a greenhouse cover? Why not a grow tent? So, it’s interesting to see others have had this same idea. Your’s is absolutely incredible! Excellent job! I considered that same HEPA filter you’re using for intake, but as an exhaust filter (on oxygen, so I don’t want to deal with spore issues). I’ve about decided instead to use one of the inline box filters that holds a 10”x20” HEPA filter. Unfortunately, I don’t have the capability to exhaust it to the outside. Your build gives me lots of ideas. You know- you might make some good money putting these together for people that are not very mechanically inclined so that they can just plug everything in and go. Anyway, again- great video!

WHAT! I was randomly watching your video and I JUST realized you're local! I joined!!

This was extremely insigthful! Thank you so much. However, where I live temperatures get pretty high and there is no central AC in the house. Does AC Infinity T4 Ducted Inline Fan manage higher temperatures well? I wonder how do you normally cool it down or you never have this issue in the first place? It gets to 30/37C in my place.

would love to see that window vent build

Dam, nice man, wonder if there can be a type of build were as this could grow with cannabis in the same tent to benefit from the C02?

Coolest closet in Earth!

So, after going through this build process and (ostensibly) using it for the past year, do you have any notes on potential improvements or alternatives that may perform better? For example, dealing with the fog leakage seems like a huge red flag. Perhaps there are better chambers than tents?

dude! im literally building the same system (10x10) as we speak! so crazy seeing you upload such a well detailed overview of your build...blessings, i opted out on the ac infinity system as i thought it wouldn't handle extreme high humidity of 99% so i went with vivosun but im seriously considering to go back to the ac infinity units. Glad i found this channel.

Hello, Thank you very much for this very interesting video showing both your enthusiasm and your communicative passion for indoor mushroom production. Unless I am mistaken, did I understand correctly that your tent, called the "Fruiting Room", would be used for the mycelium incubation phase, the primordial initiation phase and then the fruiting phase? For my part, like you apparently have been before, I am in the midst of reflection and looking for (1) a reliable, qualitative and durable installation, (2) for an annual production, (3) with a reasonable financial investment (without wanting to sell off or skimp on it), and (4) with a non-lucrative aim, therefore without looking for economic profitability for my part. Indeed, as an amateur cook and a fan of mushrooms, I would like to take advantage of different mushroom productions throughout the year for my own consumption and that of my close relations. I would like to replace certain mushroom purchases that do not always satisfy me or that are not available (except in restaurants) - while limiting myself to reasonable varieties in terms of difficulty of cultivation. I would also like my solution to be as versatile as possible to accommodate the cultivation of species with different parameters (concomitantly; this seems to me to be an impossible feat to manage in a single "tent" for several different varieties at the same time - unless I have a counter-opinion in return - so successively; this seems to me, at first sight, to be more feasable). At first sight, your solution seems to meet most of my criteria. Especially as I appreciate your concern to limit contamination both on entry and on exit (especially the concentration of spores from the cultivation). At this point in my thinking, the precise management of temperature throughout the year and the seasons is for me the greatest difficulty (for an indoor installation for personal use). For example, my stumbling block lies with the requirement of certain individuals (mountain species for example or seaside) which require in their culture parameters between 4° and 10° Celsius to initiate primordias) whereas my environment is that of a temperate country (sometimes hot) and moreover in a habitat. So by now, I renounced (temporalily I hope) to contemplate the cultivation of such species. Despite the fact that I have an integrated AC system in my habitat, it cannot work all the time just for this crop and especially it will not be precise and targeted enough, so I have considered solutions for this parameter but it seems unreasonable or inconsistent with the rest of adopted standards at this time, especially financially, at this stage. Have you found the right balance to effectively manage the "temperature parameter"? Your presentation might suggest so. However, it seems to me that the first blind spot in your presentation lies in the management and especially the control of the said "temperature" parameter in the context of the implementation and operation of your tent, since as you yourself quickly indicated (not in the budget but in a later indication) with the presence of a "Top Secret DIY AC unit" which would allow you to operate your "tent" as you wish with a more precise control of the temperature parameter (at least I imagine so). As your presentation does not mention one of the 4 fundamental pillars (even 5 if we try not to forget the Ph), I remain questionable and dissatisfied for the understanding of your solution on its taking into account of a part of the parameters (temperature and CO2). Is your concern for confidentiality on this aspect definitive? Indeed, how do you manage the subject of CO2 concentration? Indeed, it seems to me that you do not indicate the presence of a dedicated sensor. In any case, I wish you a great adventure. Bravo for your tips. Thank you in advance if you would like to answer me and give me some indications. Have a nice day

The uncle line made me sub 😂😂😂😂

Excellent video. However, I would like to know if the fan and exhaust are synchronized on the same on and off cycle. thanks

What width shelving did you use? The AC infinity width is actually a little less than 48 inches wide. I can not find shelf between 42-46inches. Thanks

Just fantastic, now I know how much of an amateur I really am

Wow this video was great thank you so much

This build is inspiring. Do you think a cape backdraft damper would be better with the limited amount of airflow?

Do you think if I used the T6 AC Infinity version, it would be enough force to push the backdamper open? I noticed you used the T5 version which is less CFM, do you think the T6 might solve this backdamper issue, or could it be too much force for a small 4x8 tent?

Thank you for sharing! It's been about 2 years since you published this video. Are you still utilizing this fruiting room? Any updates or comments?

What a great video for what I'm building. Will these all work for my 4x8 tent as far as air intake and CO2 exhaust go?

Great video!. Any issues with the humidity damaging the floor beneath the tent?

For the mist get a black bin. The yellow and black ones from home depot (HDX) are supper cheap like 11$ CAD for a big tote. You had algae grow cause light passed right through the transparent plastic.

Regarding the In & Out Air Exchange with a tent similar to the size you have? I see your in-line are 4” , could you use both 6” or one 4” going outside ands 6” pumping in???

I wanted to go with Martha Grow Tent Kit (Around 300 USD). And will be using an Automated Humidity controller and a CO2 automated controller. The Ultra Sonic Humidifier will be left at the bottom of the grow tent. My tent will have 4 levels or shelves. I will only need to control the ambiant Temperature and lights by place the unit near a window for indirect sunlight. If there would be a complete Kit for a model like yours , i wouldn't mind spending a bit more for some kick ass Grow tent like yours. Very good video. 🤓 ❤ 👍👍👁

Just a question I can't find this on any video anywhere that tells you if you need fresh air in your colonising room

This is the best Martha build I have seen. Great work. This gives me ideas for my Martha. One question. Do you have a C02 meter?

Should be humidifier box in colour. It's the light that make alges grow in the tub.

hola muchas felicidades por tu proyecto, como te salio en invernadero? pretendo hacer uno de 2x2 mt x 2mt de altura son 2 metros cubicos crees que con un equipo t8 de infinity sea suficiente.? gracias y saludos desde mexico

Nice setup how often do you run your fans

Thanks for the reply on my earlier question re: air exchange on larger tent. I'm also wondering if the ducting for your humidity goes in with your air intake or is it a separate ducting?

Very nice setup! I bought a 4x4 tent but I have to try and use what I have on hand like a humidifier and a old blower for an exhaust fan. I may regret doing this if I get poor quality grows. I don't want to invest a grand to just grow a few mushrooms for personal use. I hope it works.

Quick question what is the size measurements of the rack you use?

⁠​​⁠in your build list you had 2 house of hydro 120mm fans but you only seem to be using one? Where did you use the other one ??

Any water build up inside? How do you deal with it? Great video! Thanks for posting.
