I had LC sitting forever plus some layered grain/manure/verm jars to try LC with 1% sugar used to hydrate a substrate. It sounds stupid. It's probably not going to happen. So short on time, I just opened the jars and poured in the LC in front of the hood. If the LC was reasonably viable and clean I don't see how there can be enough residual nutrition in a 1% LC left to set for the amount of inoculant. Shake it all up and see if I can make a mycelium milkshake. Or something.

Nothing much to report. I have 3 bags of Wild Coast clones going and a bag of Nec D.
I just tried the Wild Coast (first pan trip in about 9 months) last weekend and all I can say is "not gonna stop growing that!" Strongest pan I've had to date.
I cranberry tekked 0.5g of the Wild Coast and 2g of RustyWhyte and thought I'd have a mellow time. It hit hard in about 15 minutes
and I went right to level 4-5. Fully immersive DMT-like experience. Came on so fast I could only get out one thought "oh shit we're doing this one huh?"
And once again, just an amazing spiritual experience. It has done nothing but recommit me to growing this amazing species and trying
to get the word out to others to give it a try.

Been working on my new fruiting chamber tonight. Waterproof leds on each shelf and I'm piping
in mist directly to each shelf via PVC. Still need to drill the mist holes. BlueHelix built me a new
temp/humidity controller and shipped it today. Really excited about this humidity probe. It is
industrial strength, very accurate and very fast. Probably waaay overkill for this application.

That looks stellar brother!
I'm doing a tub that will incorporate some of the exact tings you are adapting from BH's stuff-- (namely the PVC for mist distro)
You better be documenting your build out so you can publish it as a play-by-play for us myco-porn addicts

Oh yeah for sure. If it proves itself worthy I will go into detail put it up somewhere.

Is it built with a raspberry pi or some such?

JR, I am using a 3 disc fogger from House of Hydro. The thing is a beast and plenty for the new tent.
The fogger fan will always be on to keep the FAE at a constant slow trickle. All FAE and fog is piped to each
shelf through the PVC which has 1/4" holes every 4 inches across it. The heat source is a ceramic 120 watt heat bulb
that will be internal to the tent (under the bottom shelf and I know that sounds scary) and I will have two PC fans on a
speed controller that will circulate the heat/fog at the bottom of the tent. The humidity probe itself (not the controller) is
made by Dwyer and was like $100. From testing, Blue Helix told me it's extremely fast...like 15-30 seconds - which blows
my WillHi out of the water.

I'm putting reflectix on the bottom shelf. Heat will be under that. I think I will also have reflectix on the sides and top but leave the
front just clear plastic. You have pic of your setup? Sounds like it's similar to what I will be running.

Oh that's cool, JR. I like the idea of the full enclosure a lot. Now I'm second guessing my design lol.
How are you covering it and making access? 6 mil plastic and zipper?
Top, sides and back will be covered with 6 mil plastic and enclosed in reflectix. The front will be a lighter weight plastic that is more clear and I'll add zippers so I can open it up.

You've got me thinking how I might be able to build a tub for this rack to sit in. That part has me stumped right now. I want something
a little better than a box made out of 6 mil plastic. I really do like your setup though. Got my brain spinning out a bunch of ideas.

Can one of you explain the 5 gallon buckets please?

5gallon bucket is a water reservoir. Inside is a House of Hydro fogger disk. You blow air into the bucket and a “dry fog” comes out the other side. It’s like a reptile fogger with a huge water capacity that you can dial in for your needs. Mine also has an aquarium heater in it to keep the water at 78F.Can one of you explain the 5 gallon buckets please?
Not clear on it's function.
The box circled in red houses a fan and has a hepa filter on it. It is the intake. It blows air down the blue hose, pressurizes the fog in the bucket which goes up the green hose into the FC.
