Sunlight vs. 6400K

So I spawned two tubs on 05-26-15...each was spawned 1:2 to coir/verm... they are in black totes...one with the lid hollowed out with a sheet of clear plastic and a 6400K florescent bulb shining in the top 12 hours a day... the other one remains in darkness, I give it direct sunlight for 5 minutes each day at 3:00pm... any guesses on how each is going to turn out? I'll add some pics when I open the 2nd tub to give it some sunlight.

I'm gonna add these were MS to rye so it's not gonna be very conclusive...just wanted to try it out.

Since they don't use sunlight as strongly as plants, I'm gonna assume the fluorescent one receiving 12 hours are going to do better.

i have done the same...big difference between exposing it to indirect sunlight and 6500k. the lamp gave bigger fruits and better flushes.

i think hands down the fluorescent will win but only because.. i would have gave equal amounts of light to each. e.g 1 tub 12h sunlight and 1 tub 12h fluorescent
it would be fair then and you could gauge any benefit of either. the amount of darkness of the sunlight tub is setting it up to fail imo 
your giving the fluorescent a clear advantage which in the end will diminish the validity of the results! the only thing different should be the light source if you plan on it being fair.
if it was fair from the start i would side with sunlight

Unless it's an isolate, which even then is kinda subjective, it's not a fair test. Genes will play a huge role. For the next 10 times it could be the 6400 yielding more making you think it's the 6400 but the next 10 times after could be better from sunlight.
I've never really noticed anything 100% conclusive in this hobby, except that mushrooms are hardy bastards and can survive pretty much anything we throw at them.

i agree 100% it should be an isolate and maybe even a control tub too! but still then it would need to be equal light just different source to mean anything conclusive

Definitely not a clean test unless you're splitting an isolated agar wedge so you're using the same genetics on both. ESPECIALLY since light is literally one of the least important factors through the whole process. I'd be shocked to learn the difference between the best and worst lighting resulting in anything more then a 3% change in yield. If you like to think scientifically grab some agar because we all looooove verified controlled case studies use google's free excel program to chart your grows, and your modifications, it's awesome… and free! In my experience light plays a much more important role concerning the direction of it's source over the strength and length your grow is exposed too. (mushrooms tend to grow towards the light)
Think about it this way, you can find a cube on a piece of cow poo in a bright sunny field or in the back of a cave. Any amount of residual light is generally enough.
