Light setup for 12 monotubs?
    #10098584 - 04/03/09 01:28 AM (15 years, 9 months ago)

Alright so I have decided to go big and am trying to figure out how I can properly light a dozen 105 qt monotubs. Each one is going to have 7.5 gallons of bulk and between 1.5 to 2 gallons of WBS spawn. I guess I can stack them on top of one another 3 high and on 4 sides and put a 250 Metal Halide in the middle. I'm not sure how to efficiently light then all, but I think vertical is the way to go.
Anyone have suggestions?

That is not clear at all.  You don't want to be using big heat producing lights.  Use standard, cheap fluorescents.  Put one on top of each bin just like you usually would.

This thread was moved from Advanced Mycology.

Reason:
Either do what Fred suggested, or use four or eight foot long fluorescent tubes hanging vertically between the tubs.  I'll move this to cultivation, it's off topic here.

get a 4 ft florescent light fixture, and hang it verticle on the wall in between the stacks. Get 6500K daylight bulbs.





if you can tell thats hanging vertically from a wall.
