regarding light with the double tub tek
    #15191661 - 10/07/11 01:14 PM (13 years, 3 months ago)

I'm following parts of this tek: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/4323984/an/0/page/0

But need a little more details on this statementnear the end of the tek before tip 3:
"depending on where you have your containers, you may need to place them in an area that has indirect sunlight."

I was curious, what sort of storage place requires giving your doubletub this light and at what point in the steps are you supposed to introduce the light? Especially since most of the tek, the double tub seems to be covered by a black trash bag, does this mean I need to take the trash bag off at some point? Also does this mean there's a way you can do it or an environment you can put it in where you won't need light?

I'm just trying to get all the details about this part of the tek because right now I have a choice to store the tub either in a storage shed in the backyard or a closet. The storage shed would be more ideal for personal reasons but there are no windows or indirect light, as opposed to the closet which is in a room with tons of windows. There's perhaps a little more uncontrolled ventilation than in the closet because the walls seem to have less insulation than a house (this also makes me worry about putting it in the shed because of the possibility of lower-than-room temperature though) and there is a small grate by the front door in one corner of the room that stays open, but not much light gets through it.

Thank you for any more help you can provide, and apologies if something similar exists; if so please link me to it!

keep in in your closet where temps are controlled and its most likely cleaner. You can expose the tub to indirect sunlight at any time as its always beneficial. Take the bag off once the tub is 100% colonized and consolidated.

check out arp's lighting info: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/14871014/fpart/1/vc/1

that's right before casing right?

Thank you for the help, but I'm still a little confused on conflicting info here, the lighting info page says...

"you will find that an ambient light cycle of 12/12 will speed up colonization.... This same theory follows during the colonization of bulk substrates. Pinning will occur quicker when the substrate has been introduced to light from day one."

does that mean I don't need the trash bag at all really? what's its purpose?

Yes that would be right before casing but casing isnt necessary with cubes, unless you in a very arid climate i would skip casing as it only complicates a cubensis grow.

a trash bag can serve two purposes, it can block out the light (which we now know is not necessary) and it can also prevent fresh air exchange. All that should be occurring during colonization is gas exchange, if you build a sturdy dub tub that doesnt allow massive air exchanges then its fine to negate the trash bag all together.
