Question about Lighting
    #16191583 - 05/06/12 06:39 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Hey guys, just a question about whether or not this lighting would be adequate for my first attempt at PF Tek.

This window is the only window in the room on the west side so it gets light all day. I plan on beginning with two terrariums so would I be better off trying to use this this light as well as using a florescent globe on the other terrarium or can I be confident in this window being sufficient?

Obviously I'd rather utilize free lighting but not at the cost of potential fruiting.

I'll be growing Psilocybe subaeruginosa and where I'm picking them they seem to love the light.






Thanks for any help offered.

Sun light is good light.

It looks much brighter in this pic and the dull pic I took didnt upload. I guess I'll just have to experiment to see what works.

Cheers

Even diffuse sunlight is significantly brighter than most light bulbs (even if it doesn't seem it to your eyes) it also provides a much better spectrum than any CFL available.
Sun good.

Not that I'm trying to thread jack (and I think I've done that a few times today:tongue:) but wouldn't sunlight heat up the tub so that the inside heat would be higher then the actual temp in the room? And I'd think that also (being that the sun is so bright) that you would have to do more misting to keep your sub (or cakes in this case) from drying out (and no, I didn't really do the research (though I probable should have)? :lol:I know I'm about to get schooled here to!!

Wouldn't increased evaporation through the top layer be a good thing, pinning-wise?

Oh yeah! See, I forgot that evaporation (+ FAE)= pinning :awesomenod:

Thanks a lot for all of the advise guys. I'm sure Im gonna run into problems anyway so its great to have confidence in my natural lighting.

Just got a question about growing Psilocybe subaeruginosa using pf tek.

I noticed they werent listed by the shroomery as a species in the cultivation section. Is there a reason for this?

Is there something I'm missing, Doc T? :confused:

They are the only active species that grow in my area and I had planned on making spore prints to cultivate asap.

Lots of species will grow on pf cakes, and maybe these will too.
Over on the Main Search Page you can select 'one result per thread' and sort with the newest threads first to get the most recent info.
Most growers start with Ps cubensis, it's absurdly easy to grow. But other species certainly can be grown indoors.

Thanks heaps, Doc. Youve no doubt saved me a lot of time and frustration.  :manofapproval:
