It looks pretty cool , It might be risky with contams, most of them are in the first foot of air, but Idk it should work,

Cool dude:thumbup: those are big mono tubs,

they are going to grow in the direction of the back wall ... light in itself isn't that big of a factor anyway so much as the direction of it ... 32 watt floro be more than adequate

~Ps: When I put my tubs in black trash bags to colonize, should I poke some holes in the bag for GE?~

for darkness ? try boxes instead to get more air-flow ... if you gonna use bags instead just bunch the tops and bind loosely so that its got about a silver dollar size opening at the top

naw man. the direction of your light is not important what so ever. the spectrum of it is however.

6500k is great, but what you have is just fine!

huh ?if you like twisting retarded looking mushies that dont grow vertically to fit more fruitbodies then i guess not ... light in general isnt that important when it comes to them ... ambient light is just fine ... if youre going to bust out 100 watt floros and shit you better make sure the light is where you want them to grow to because that kind of wattage WILL influence the direction they grow ... too funny

Looks good!  I would raise them up a couple feet though.

someone please explain to me why the direction your fruits grow matters at all? they could grow inside out and backwards for all i care as long as they are healthy and potent, neither of which is effected by the direction the light comes from.

i call bs on you calling bs. thats like saying the color of your tub is important because blue is prettier than black.

vertical flushes are space efficient = more yeild ... twisted horizontal flushes lose space = less yeild ..

not to mention pin triggering the sub as a whole equally and not in one spot or another

If you wish to start a thread on that, we can debate it.

I'm not going to jack the OP's thread.

being as the op has questions regarding his overall set-up i dont think it would be jacking at all ...

to the op ... i see your lids aren't transparent ... if you want the best results from the kind of wattage you are talking about you really want it centered right over top of the tubs ... this is why stack and view tubs are so in demand ... Ive always cut windows in my lids and covered with plexi or simply saran wrap covered the tub opening and once moved to fc removed the lid and let it fruit under the wrap ... can have the lid on till that point ...

is it just a matter of lowering the wattage? i have a 75 watt floro that i can put instead of the 100w.

your light is fine, it's just that the mushrooms will grow towards it.

how would one part be triggered before another? is the light not shining on the whole tub?  regardless, light is a very small part of pinning, and the least important compared to FAE and RH. also, if they grow at a 45 degree angle, they wouldnt be any less "efficient" then if they grew straight up. thats like saying a forest of trees has less space in it when the wind blows them at an angle.

i suppose we can agree to disagree on this one. especially since neither of our opinions would negatively effect the OP's grow.

edit: and if what you said is true and there is less space in your fruiting chamber, wouldnt that mean more fungus is occupying said space? dont we want more? lol:grin:

no it means more of the vertical space which is the majority of the space in your tub is not used lmfao come on man you re using effing forest references and I'm using personal grow references who's info you think is more useable ?

not all the mushies in a tub have the same genetics unless its a isolate or clone ( even a clone surprisingly isnt pure ) excessive light in one particular area can lop-side a grow quite easily ...

you think im just pulling this out of my ass? come on man i was using the trees as real world reference outside of mycology that someone could imagine easily, not because im an amateur.

mushrooms will grow just as large at an angle as they will straight up, do you think they just STOP growing suddenly if they contact the side of the tub? i never put the windows on my tubs on top because they dont stack then.

here's how i have my recent setup so you can see how i do my windows, and although this one hasnt been tested, ive done similiar things on a slightly smaller scale that have worked out great in the past with amazing flushes.

i know what you were trying to do but is wasn't relevant because a forest is well a fucking forest and under the great big blue sky and a tub has dimensions ... I'm not saying all this is mandatory shit , I'm just saying if you want to maximize your results you have to maximize your resources , space being one of them ... yes they will grow big in their race for light and then once the main beam of it becomes choked off by the twisting mass the rest of the mush on the other side are ass out on light and say fuck it and stunt ... it lop sides grows

cubensis are phototropic, not photosynthetic. i clearly am talking to a wall here. they dont say "fuck it and stunt" they just keep growing towards the main source of light.

and anywho,the fruits growing at an angle are no more blocking the light on one side then shrooms growing straight up would.
