Indirect Light and Mycelium Growth
    #14905156 - 08/11/11 07:30 AM (12 years, 7 months ago)

Recently I have been keeping my jars covered in darkness and I do have about 50% colonization. Would keeping them exposed to indirect light impede or improve the mycelium growth rate? Thanks!

They say a 12/12 light cycle is optimal if I'm not mistaken. That's what I do with my jars, anyway.

I left mine in the greenhouse, it started slow, but once it hit about half dollar size it took off pretty quick

Exposing them to indirect light is totally fine, I've even read that its beneficial. You should take the cover off :smile:.

You need to watch the RR mushroom videos. Keep you're jars on a shelf with ambient room light, not in direct sunlight. With a 12/12 light cycle. Mycelium growth will benifit from this.

are you talking about while theyre in jars are fruiting? im pretty sure youre supposed to keep them in the dark the entire time while colonizing.

ambient light CAN speed up colonization.

its just not worth it one way or the other.

if you colonize in your closet, i wouldnt recommend putting a light in there on a timer.

but avoiding light is just unnecessary
