Great success with 24 hours light *PICs*

This is my first grow. 1 cake and 1 casing with 2 cakes. all BRF PF tek. While they were fruiting (until the pins were about 3/4" I gave them 24 hours of light. After that height, I switched to ~15 on 9 off. I've seen much better yields from other people, but I thought I'd share my story, and get other people's input on the 24 hour lighting.
these are the first flushes

i read somewhere on here that fungus is phototropic and therefore light isnt necessary for its growth, but rather for the direction in which it grows

correct they are more like animals in that sense, they don't really need light to grow but it certainly helps... and that is an impressive grow, almost no aborts, thoes are some happy B+s'! what was their dry weight (or wet)?

Light is one of the 3 steps to initate pinning. Your right in the sence that no photosyntheis takes place, you could grow in darkness, but light helps alot.
I use a 4 wat light bulb 12/12 on a timer, works great for me

Once you have grown for awhile you'll soon realize light plays a bigger part in growth as well as yield especially when setting pins.
-------------------- Getting the most out of your casings!, A pinning strategy. Oyster Shell "Flour" $2 for 1lb. a hell of a deal Not what is overlay but rather what overlay is Gas Exchange vs. FAE "We all have priorities. I used a closet once setup a nice little lab trouble was all the shit that was in there ended up in the bedroom that pissed off the GF then I ended up dumping her as she was getting in the way of my sterile culture technique! Ya I got priorities too!!!"
