Cleaning the Grow Tents at Our Indoor Mushroom Farm | Southwest Mushrooms
Each day we do a light clean of the grow tents but after harvest, we do a deep clean to make sure we aren't running into any major contamination problems. It's not glamorous but it needs to be done.

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.
This guy is like the Bob Ross of mushroom cultivation. Love it.

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?

Thank you so much for your videos. I can tell you spent years acquiring a vast amount of knowledge, and here you are just sharing it with everyone. You are amazing.
I am from China and I like eating mushroom since childhood and started to learn about cultivation skills 3 years before. I did part time experiment since last year. You are so great to share such knowledgeable videos. And really thanks for your sharing, which provide me totally a new view for mushroom cultivation. Thank you so much!

I really like how you are very passionate to explain such a detailed procedure to clean the growing chamber. Very nice video!
I just really appreciate your level of cleanliness and consciousness
I love the "Or you don't like cleaning you are not going to like growing mushrooms"
You’re a joy to watch. Appreciate watching you move around and work smoothly through your organization you setup. It’s beautiful to see how this world has supported you and brought things to you to utilize. The essence of spiritual fungi obviously is everywhere. Thank you for helping to thrive alive once again another version of earthly fungi. Walking fungi road.
You and your channel is a Godsend to all aspiring mushroom farmers. God bless you for sharing your knowledge.
This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks Mike! Also your video team is great.
Newbie oyster mushroom grower here from Philippines.. I just want to thank you man for your channel. I've been watching a lot of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing in-depth information, experiences, tips.. Awesome!
God bless your heart for sharing the ins and outs of growing mushrooms. You are so unselfish ...... God will surely bless you more.

You are a wealth of knowledge, I appreciate everything you and your cameraman do..with prompting questions and information. Legend
Thank you for all you videos! They are super informative.
Beautiful and gentle how you teach. Thank you for sharing your experience and immense knowledge.
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. Love your vibe and generosity with knowledge. 🍻🍄💖
Watching this guy's videos doing mundane task, brings me so much calm.
So fresh, so clean

Hi. Guess we have watched most, if not all of your vids.THANKS !! We are branching out into mushrooms to sell along with our microgreens. After many months of learning/testing we are ready to build out a 7x10 fruiting room. Simple question is for "cleaning". I'm hoping we can grow/harvest in 1 side of the room -then clean that 1/2 etc. All comments welcome. Ken
Thx so much for sharing, you are ledgend. You have inspired us to grow mushrooms.
thank you for sharing your wisdom.

Wow thanks for sharing all of your valuable experience. Binging and enjoying all of your content! An industrial hygienist friend told me there's an advantage to cleaning in order from top-to-bottom (roof first, then high shelves, then low shelves, then floor). Not sure it would make a big difference here, but could help a bit. Either way, thank you for generously sharing what you've learned.
Good Channel i like the calm guy.
Love your personal and historical quick tent takedown technique. I think many Shroom growers understand the wisdom in that universally sage technique. Many Thanks for you awesome Vids
Yo my man. Thoroughly impressed by your videos. Wholly educational, inspiring and detailed content. It would be awesome if you did a Q&A on how you got started and what your plans are moving forward. Much love.
True love bro ❤️🔥🤟🏻
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!
Thank you. Your videos are so insightful and practical. I was wondering if you ever tried to use an ozonator in your tents to kill off spores and germs instead of having to wipe everything down. It would probably save you a lot of time.
Awesome
You guys should do a live course. I would love to learn from you
Well done brother
Wow.
Nice 👍
Thanks man for showing how the maintenance cycle works... just wondering if blitzing the room with UVC light between harvests would keep the unwanted moulds out...?
May I recommend microfiber car wash mittens for the cleaning you do. Might be faster?
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.

The whole point is to not knock stuff around into the air, pressure washers are an extremely bad idea unless you want a massive contamination problem in your grow room

Wow this really opened my eyes for how simple a grow room could be. People are always trying to build some crazy stuff with wood, paint over wood with expensive marine paint, silicone caulk every corner. Your tents are so simple. I'm assuming those are the ones people usually use for hydroponics.

I appreciate the insight into how your tents air systems are arranged. I have a 4*8 and I do my air systems very differently. I pull air from the tent and push it through the side of a plastic trash can that's outside of the tent with a coolmist humidifier in it, air exits the top of the can into connected duct, into the top of the tent and runs along the top of the tent and is distributed evenly with perforated polyducting that runs the tents legnth. Wonder why you have you fans inside the tent. I have fans and humidifiers outside mine cause I was worried about damage and wanted to avoid clutter. Happy growing! Thanks again for the videos✌️

Hello I appreciate your comment. Though it's old I hope you see this and have time for a reply- I'm looking for a 4x8 tent for myself, what did you go with and how well did it/is it holding up? I'm thinking of going with the gorilla lite version of the 4x8 it's significantly cheaper than the regular gorilla tents
Would running your ducting thru pvc extend its life and make the cleaning easier? Love your work!
Thanks for sharing this vid! Just curious how you keep the metal racks from rusting?
really nice i love your videos ❤️ first commet 🤩
Have you thought of shipping containers rather than the tents? Even though they would be more expensive, you could do a custom fitout and if you do need to move they are pretty well good to go as is.
I'm rocking those same kicks homie.
Its almost cheating watching the gentleman at work if your thinking about starting a mushroom farm thank you very much for all your knowledge
I absolutely love watching these videos! Can I ask what your automation system is? I'd love to see a video about the products used. Thank you❤
Great Video. How to make that humidifier video would be awesome.
