shiitake lighting question
    #12589596 - 05/18/10 11:25 PM (14 years, 7 months ago)

stamets book recommends 50-100 lux lighting for the spawn run. does anyone have any ideas for how much lighting this is and what i can use? my jars are all above the cabinet on top of the fridge (ie. not near a power source).

Hopefully that'll work for now.

50 to 100 lux is a bit on the low side.  I have a window in the door to the colonization room of my underground mushroom farm that faces north(in the northern hemisphere) and this provides plenty of light for colonization.  The idea is to give them some light, but much less than required for fruiting.  Normal ambient room light is plenty during spawn run.
