Question From Beginner.
    #10322740 - 05/11/09 02:33 PM (14 years, 10 months ago)

Hi everyone, well i just ordered the ez gro kit from homestead. i know you guys are opposed to it and all that but i just want to try it once and see if growing is something i will do long term.  My question is:

Can i grow in a dark place, like in the corner of my garage under a blanket or something or does it need to be open to light?  thanks.

Hey Dan,

Welcome to the world of growing fungi. Although we do suggest to get your own materials, grow kits have had success in the past (they are just too pricey) so it is not exactly a bad way to go.

I would recommend that you keep the bag in an area with some light getting to it - preferrably sunlight or a bulb with light temperatures in the 5000 - 7500 kelvin range (look for a CFL). As it's been mentioned before, mushrooms are rhythmic like humans and adhere to normal lighting sequences. A natural light cycle will be the best for you. Complete darkness may work as well, however a natural light cycle is best.

Although with that said, in the first stages of growing (colonizing) lighting is not as important. It is important, but it is much more important for starting the fruiting stage (Psilocybe Cubensis are a tropical species so cold-shocking isn't the way to induce pinning with these guys). Mostly you'll just want to keep it somewhere where it won't get too warm or cold (room temp is OK), and in a place where it isn't on the ground (90% of your contaminants live there!), and receives natural light.

Another thing is temperature. Psilocybe Cubensis are pretty sturdy as a species, but if you have temperatures below 70F they may take forever to colonize (fruiting is different - it requires lower temperatures), or if it's above 80F it may never colonize at all. However if you're patient, then room temperature should be fine, or even a little bit colder.

Final thing is time. That kit advertises in a couple of weeks that you'll get mushrooms - wrong! It usually takes a month to two months for the first time around. Plus since you're going with a kit, the conditions are quite a bit more limited and thus you are only able to grow with what you're given. Hopefully you have good growing conditions that will help speed things up for you.

That sounds fine. As long as the temperatures don't fluctuate too rapidly you should be good to go.
