AI for mushroom cultivation is here. In this session, Michael Crowe breaks down the Crowe Learning Models + Crowe Logic, tools built from years of real cultivation experience and massive datasets, to help growers and researchers level up quality, consistency, and results. You’ll hear how Michael is combining biotech + software to build: Crowe Vision (image-based contamination spotting, mycelium health pattern checks, mushroom grading) SOP + workflow generation (turn “brain into a system” so teams can execute consistently) Yield prediction + substrate simulation (estimate colonization + BE from your inputs) Crowe Sense (future sensor-driven grow room automation: temp/RH/CO₂ monitoring + auto-tuning) Crowe Logic voice agent (alerts + communications, even handling calls) A highlight: Michael shares experiments in targeted cultivation, using inputs like seed oils and nutritional additions to potentially influence growth performance and compound expression (framed as ongoing R&D and observations, not guarantees). We also get a personal segment: Michael talks about what mushrooms taught him—discipline, patience, and systems thinking, and how Southwest Mushrooms is evolving toward research, genetics, education, and licensing opportunities worldwide. Featuring / on the call: Michael Crowe, Steve, David, Elijah, Andrew.

Is House of Hydro still the way to go? My 12 disk xl transducer has slowly been biting the dust. Don't think I want to go the air compresser method. Thanks in advance for your humble opinion.

I’m Michael Crowe. I’m genuinely grateful you’re here. Thanks for jumping in early and helping shape what this community becomes. I’ve got some cool things lined up for you and I’ll start sharing them this week, simple, useful stuff you can put to work right away, plus a few surprises I think you’ll love. Here’s how I’d like this space to feel: open, practical, and a little adventurous. Share your ideas. Share your questions. Share photos of your setup, even if it’s just a shelf and a dream. If you try a small experiment and it works, post it. If it flops, post that too. The details help all of us get better, moisture percentages, PSI and sterilization time, yield per block, little tricks that saved you time. To kick things off, say hi in the comments. Tell us where you’re growing from, what your next 30-day goal is, and the first topic you want me to cover. Spawn, substrate, fruiting, sales, gear, mindset, whatever will move you forward the fastest. Thanks again for being here at the start. I’m excited to build this with you. — Michael
