## Setting Up a Mushroom Grow Tent

Setting up a complete mushroom grow tent for home cultivation. Covers tent sizing, humidity and airflow management, lighting, and substrate management for consistent fruiting.

**60** to 80 percent

**90** to 95 percent

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.

Contamination is the main challenge in a grow tent. Maintain clean habits when entering the tent: wash hands, work quickly, and never sneeze or cough near fruiting blocks.
