SGFC near window
    #14394450 - 05/03/11 01:24 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Maybe i'm not searching correctly but I can't find a whole lot of info on keeping my SGFC near an open window. Is there any issues with doing this?

Was also curious about putting them in a shed when weather is a little bit warmer outside?

Nothing fruiting now just trying to be prepared :smile:

It might dry out to much by an open window. You also don't want direct sunlight just indirect.

why no direct sunlight? I've heard of plenty of people with their FC next to the window... you don't want all day sun, but a few hours a day will be fine :-)

The open window thing will cause the cakes to dry to fast. same issue as a fan in the room as the air won't pull through the perlite, just the top half and dry, not maintain humidity

I wouldn't keep it in the shed unless you somehow have a shed with no mold spores. Ive never been in a shed that didn't smell musty.

My cousin has tones of actives growing naturally in her barn, It's possible, but dont plan for it to be a controlled grow. might as well Find a place right outside the shed and dump all ur used and contams substrates and hope for munchies that way.

The window being open wont contam a cake as they are generally contam resistant, just drys it out faster.

I guess its based off every ones own opinion, I just follow a Trusted Cultivators opinion is all. I dont know about where you guys live but the sun here gets pretty warm in the summer and sits in the sky.

In the winter when the sun is low on the horizon, an hour a day won't hurt them.  In the summer when the sun is nearly straight up, five to ten minutes is max.  If you're worried, put a sheer curtain over the window.

But also keep this in mind...

A few minutes of direct sunlight works wonders for stimulating a pinset.  Even if you have to move your fruiting chamber to the other side of the house for ten minutes when the sun is shining right in, it will pay off.  Just don't leave it there for long.  The rest of the time, the indirect sunlight you're giving is fine.

The search engine works wonders...

I'm planning on having near the window with curtains closed 24/7 like they normally are so there won't be direct sunlight. So from what I've read and your posts I should be fine leaving in front of the window(curtain closed) all day long correct?

I realize now that having it near the window I won't have the window open 24/7. Maybe 15-20 minutes to get fresh air into the room followed up by a good misting.

I've been keeping my shades open just a crack with my SGFC's right under the window. They get some direct sun in the evening, but not full strength... plus they're protected by the plastic from the FC its'elf. I'll make sure to post some fruiting pics soon as I'm only a couple days away from some pinporn

Yay thats good to hear my idea isn't as cracked up as I thought :smile: Can't wait to see your pics.

My jars are all still going steady. This part of the wait time makes me want to setup an incubator tub but I'm just fine not having any contams :P

Yeah man, don't fuck with an incubator... Use that time/money to get more jars, tubs for sgfc, and get moar cakes goin :-) Thats what I do and now I have no idea what I want to do with the 40+ qts that I havn't even spawned yet... not to mention all the containers I have ready to fruit with no room atm...

I have a few mono's I think I'm gonna get going next week after I pick up some poo. That way all my spawn won't go to waist... Mycology pretty much takes up the majority of my spare time when my GF doesn't. haha! :hamsterdance:

I feel like I'm heading down the same path but only she's learning with me. Too many things I've read about on these forums that I want to try but not nearly enough space.

Meh, my GF will check out my shit when i'm working and say "baby check this out!"

But thats about the extent of what she's interested in. She's not even that big into tripping, just cool with the fact that I'm into it. And thats all that really matters

Here's where i'm at right now:

Pics are a couple days old, but no change yet. I barley keep the window cracked so the air can still come in fresh without a breeze, but so far the cakes seem to love it!
i'd say pinning etz 3-5 days... :jah:
