I have 3 cakes currently in the SGFC. I have been doing a 12/12 regiment of TOTAL dark + Regular sunlight (Indirect). I just recently did a 2 day period of SOLID darkness and noticed pin sets coming. Is this commmon knowledge that placing them in a darkroom will start the fruiting sequence, then exposing them natural light enhances fruit body growth?

no. 12/12 is best. ambient light or 6500k bulb/appropriate replacement. light is beneficial from colonization through fruiting during the entire life cycle of the mycelium. the only reason you had pin development was time. just be more patient and provide optimum conditions.

My tubs are on shelves and the shelf above each one blocks light from above. I have 2 34" Daylight (6500K) tube bulbs about 2 feet away, that mostly enters the tubs thru 1 side (the front), on a 12/12 timer. Notice the direction of growth...
  
Sometimes I'll rotate the tubs mid-fruiting. Notice the curvature of the stems...
  
I haven't really done any tests but, there's no question that 6500k light has an effect.

not to derail the thread, but why are all the holes taped over on your monos while fruiting?

It's not really a monotub. More just a plain old tub with FAE holes covered with micropore tape.

More examples of light effecting growth. From baby to maturity...
     
This last one is Ecuador on it's 3rd flush. Some of them grew horizontally toward the light.

Not if I cover them with Micropore tape.
3Mâ„¢ Microporeâ„¢ Surgical Tape is your first choice for general taping requirements. Its hypoallergenic adhesive is gentle to sensitive and fragile skin. Very porous and breathable, it allows moisture to escape without reducing adhesion. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_EU/Healthcare-Europe/EU-Home/Products/ProductCatalogue/?PC_Z7_RJH9U52300PI40IA1Q602S28E7000000_nid=34DDVZ1Q1ZbeP7FT9L23G3gl
How do you not know what microtape is? It's widely used as a filter, including on PF tek jars.

 put some micropore over your mouth and see how much you like it we use poly because it's adjustable we use micropore as a filter for gas exchange not fae

See the third pic, how there are dimples in some of the caps? Is that bacteria starting or? What causes that?

2 questions.
1: How could I sterilize a used spore syringe to use again as a spore syringe (is it possible, without a PC?)
2: what prints do you have to trade theshroominizer? Besides cubes

those would be from drops of wter from the lid at early stages sitting on the caps muffin just boil the syringes for about 10 minutes then suck up some bopiling water and squirt it out and repeat a couple times then leave it in there one last time till it cools

at the moment I am trying to trade off some of Gymnopilus Spectabilis / Luteus and also have a few Panaelous Cintulus, I have A TON more, but they are singles and i would like to get 3-5 extra before tradining them off...I know if have Mexicans, Ecuadors, something Pink ?!? (Idk) =( some are pretty rare, but iv been too timid to attempt to grow them cause i dont wanna mess up. Once i succeed and have extras let me know, ill put you on my waiting list and when i make prints, i make SURE they are CLEAN no agar transfers needed

Thanks. One last Q.
After sterilizing the syringe how would I go about safely sucking up some spores?
(Or relatively safely at least)

And alot of people prefer micropore tape over stuffing tubs with pillow cushion. Is this 1941 Germany or are we allowed more than 1 opinion on the subject? http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/7893964 ^^^Why is a Trusted Cultivator using tape on his holes?
My canopies are just fine. With well placed holes and moving air, microtape works well.

I'd have canopies of APE if they grew straight up...
