Will light bruise cakes?
    #9238751 - 11/13/08 05:08 PM (15 years, 4 months ago)

I have two wbs cakes and two casings in the same fc and i just added a light to it i cut a hole in the lid and slid it threw.The light is from the base of a glitter lamp kinda like a lave lamp only the bulb dont get so hot.After I added the light the cakes started turning blue  and i dont know if the light hitting them directly is brusing them or if its just lowering my rh.My hygrometer says its at 96% but i dont think its working properly and ive been misting the cakes so i dont think there drying out i just dont know.

no light wont bruise mycelium. drying out will, touching will, misting directly will. i suggest removing the light from your fruiting chamber. make a window for it and have it pointing at your fruiting chamber.  also wbs performs poorly on its own. it cant hold enough moisture.

if thats an incandescent bulb, its a poor choice. if you want the best performance get a cfl bulb in the daylight range. they will last years aswell.

Yeah it's incadesent i just wanted to try it out but thanx though.Is a cfl a tube light or like a regular bulb?And yeah i beleive u said that wbs dont do well on its own i spawned most of what i had to coir but i kinda didnt wanna wait for it all to spawn so i just threw some cakes in there.I figured if i kept it wet enough it would be ok.So my light is prolly drying them out cuz it's just on the top's.
