I usually don’t grow in the summer due to the heat and I’m struggling to get my ass in gear for this winter. I usually have about 4 varieties I grow, blue oysters, pinks, lion’s mane and pioppinos.

      There are cheaper options than a tent setup, you can find lots of little tutorials online. For a couple of years I used a ‘shotgun fruiting chamber’, it’s a tote with lots of tiny holes drilled in it, and some damp perlite in the bottom. You mist the inside and occasionally lift the lid to introduce fresh air.

        I’ve got enough random stuff… I might be able to whack up a mini grow tent… I might have to give this a shot, thanks for the info!

      You can get solid results with a 5-gal bucket, a trash bag, and an outdoor spot in the shade.

      A tent is a great upgrade at scale but overkill when growing casually; don’t let it stop you.
