Correlation between Light Exposure and Size
    #12052662 - 02/18/10 09:10 AM (14 years, 10 months ago)

Hello there,

On my most recent cakes I've flushed a total of 3 times so far.  My first flush produced roughly 50% larger fruit on average with a light timer of 16 off 8 on.

My second flush I tried a 12 on 12 off routine and got noticeably smaller fruits.

Third flush is a 16 on 8 off routine and they were even smaller, barely growing above 3 inches.


Is it possible that fruit bodies can be "burnt out" and mature early under too much light? Perhaps the secret is a 14-16 off/8-10 on.

Probably not. Sounds more like the water supply on your cakes got smaller.

Mushrooms do increase their size during dark periods a more, but this shouldn't be that radical.

I don't get bigger fruits in winter, when there's longer periods of darkness.
