Built this last night. It will later on be hooked up to an Arduino which will measure temp/humidity/co2 levels in the chamber and operate the machinery. This is version 1 (proof of concept). Version 2 will be a bigger box and will have a toilet tank filler to adjust the water level. Alternatively I may just get a water level measure device and hook that up to the Arduino to have it control a solenoid valve to refill. Fog box version 1.0 - http://youtu.be/567KWef8VSUThoughts?

Looks like an interesting setup , my only 2 cents is To make sure you sterilize the crap out of everything right before You start the grow . Also filtering any air coming into grow chamber . I always thought a UV purifier setup would be the best choice. Contamination in indoor grows is the worst thing to contend with .

Contamination in indoor grows is the worst thing to contend with . If the mycelium has taken hold then the chances of mould and other contaminants are highly reduced. Sitting water can create bacteria. I also do a re-dunk of the cakes once in a while, however right before the re-dunk I spray them with diluted peroxide. Also helps living in a brand new apartment. As far as UV goes, while it could be used to kill contams in your water supply it should not be used inside a FC as I have read that it will actually kill the mycelium, though I could be totally wrong about that. There are actually guides out there on how to do mycology with peroxide to reduce risk of contamination. http://www.mycomasters.com/"When you make the finding yourself - even if you're the last person on Earth to see the light -you'll never forget it."

Peroxide is good I've used it with success in the past. My thoughts on a uv setup would be to treat the air before it gets in The FC . Also using some kind of HEPA filtering as well. Good luck with your grow it's super satisfying once you get it dialed in . The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. Arthur C.

Ahh yes! I was thinking of having a UV light in the water where the ultrasonic misters reside and blowing HEPA filtered air into it. Do you by chance know what PPM CO2 is bad for mushrooms? I wanted to add an exhaust fan to suck the air out once a certain CO2 PPM is reached in the FC.

In terms of co2 and air exchange I don't think you have to get that precise although it's a very cool Idea . I guess your talking about a sensor that would monitor co2 levels . As cool as that is I would imagine a simple timer system that would allow air Exchange a couple times a day would be quite effective .
