Hi all,
How are the mushroom cultivators in here regulating their CO2 levels?
Currently I’m not yet investing in a CO2 sensor. I’m constantly flushing in filtered air in a positive pressure way.
Paul Stamets book describe CO2 levels for different stages of cultivation and mentions flushing a number of times per hour the air inside the cultivation room. (depending on the type of mushroom etc)
My idea is, best to measure and act upon required levels.
Ideally a EZO-CO2 – PID controller – Fresh are intake fan setup.
I think by the end of the day It would result in a more efficient system. Especially when scaling up because now I’m just venting constantly which also makes my water consumption higher.
I must be honest and say that the challenge of integrating a CO2 controlling PID loop is more of an exercise. I have a feeling that in my setup, apart from the experiment, value can be limited.
I’m curious what are the perspectives on this.
Best regards,
Thomas
