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.

    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?

    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!

    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.

    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✌️

    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❤
