Tent Selection and Sizing
A 60x60x140 cm tent fits 4 to 6 fruiting blocks comfortably. Use a tent with multiple vent ports for airflow control. Mylar interiors reflect light and help maintain humidity.

Environment Control
Use an ultrasonic humidifier connected to a humidity controller. Set airflow with a small inline fan on a timer. 4 to 6 air exchanges per hour is standard for most gourmet species. Keep temperature between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius.

Substrate Management
Prepare substrate outside the tent. Only introduce fully colonized blocks. Remove spent blocks promptly to prevent contamination. Mist walls, not blocks directly.
