concerns for my upcoming mushroom grow
    #22110328 - 08/19/15 09:27 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)

I plan on growing mushrooms with a friend but I have some concerns
1) what kind of light should the jars be exposed to when mycelium is growing?
2) what kind of light should the cakes be exposed to when in the fruiting chamber?
3) we will probably grow in his closet which I heard could be a problem for FAE. If we have a foot of space on every side of the chamber and maybe a fan on will that be enough?

Alice asked the Cheshire Cat, who was sitting in a tree, “What road do I take?”

The cat asked, “Where do you want to go?”

“I don’t know,” Alice answered.

“Then,” said the cat, “it really doesn’t matter, does it?”

1) Indirect light, sunlight is good but the key is indirect.

2) Direct. 6500k Daylight bulbs or off a window. It's important to note not to put the cake DIRECTLY under the sunlight because this will cause them to dry out. If you're doing bulk in a monotub I noticed that my tubs were always REALLY hot on the inside because light is radiant energy and when you trap it somewhere the tote naturally heats up. This isn't terrible but it can get a little unfavorable to the cubensis. They're tropical but I prefer to grow around room temperature for fatter shrooms. The shrooms I grew underneath direct sunlight by my window were all pretty skinny.

Scientifically cubensis prefers the shade and they can still acquire all of the light they need from a shaded location.

If you use a 6500k Daylight bulb, however, put it directly above your tote. Make sure you get the clear lid. Bulbs put off much less radiant energy then the sun.

Here's an example:



In the future I moved the bulb a little closer.

3) I will say don't use a fan. I grew in a closet and had to move it out but for right now I'm trying to find this answer myself so I won't touch this with a ten foot pole :lol:
