light: 12/12 vs 4/4

Has anyone noticed a difference in evenness of pinning or pinning time with 12on 12off vs 4on 4off.

They get the same amount of light but could the frequency of light cycles stimulate the mycelium more?

I see much more people saying 12/12, though, I used 4/4 to begin with and got good results:

I've used as little as 2 hours of lighting with no noticeable difference. So, I would have to say no.

I dont use any special lighting either. Heard just normal daylight in a room was enough.

I have seen people say 12/12 as well and mabye that is the ideal but I have left it on for days at a time as well as leaving them in the dark for days at a time and I do not notice a big difference either way,I think the bottom line is that while it is a good Secondary(After full colonization and Fae)pinning trigger,it isn't as important as its made out to be once fruiting starts

Mushrooms don't use light as an energy source like plants do, it's just a pinning/directional aid for them.

My friends terrarium is kept shut and is completely opaque so the shrooms only get a couple seconds of light a day through fanning and they grow fine and in the right direction. I'm pretty sure light is the least important aspect in growing shrooms.

I knew that light didn't have much to do past initiating pinning, but i didn't realize that its significance was borderline nil. Thanks. :thumbup:



I think I'll go back to 4/4 so it won't be as hard on my lights.

Yeah. If you aren't getting pins, the probably is far more often FAE or other conditions.
