Why a slight angle? So it grows in a certain direction?

I can get a real light set up I'm not worried too much about saving money. Is there a nice set up on Amazon you can refer me to?
Or am I going to have to go to a grow supply store and buy parts individually?

You can also always just use indirect sunlight. You generally have a lot having the sgfc elevated in a very open area anyways. Just have it in an open bright area

idk shit about LED being sufficient. i'm sure there's something that works out there but most mushroom farms use LED to fill in shadows or supplement daylight/artificial rater than outright LED grow

Just get a CFL. Bulb from the drug store in the 6500K range, and an old lamp from the thrift shop or something to use as a fixture

I put mine at an angle because I stack tubs...if you are just doing one tub you can put it above it...you basically just want it around 8-12 inches away. Most people on here don't buy complex light setups, that I know of anyway... Most just use clamp lights, etc. I use a combination of clamp lights and the lamps I mentioned before. Sorry don't have an Amazon link for you, I bought my lights locally. The bulb is the important part.

Hmmmm, so it seems like a 6500k is just a normal 60 wat spiral bulb which I have plenty of in my house. I already have a fixture for the bulb . As for the angle and multiple tubs, yes I'm only doing one tub. 4 half pint cakes

 You need the 6500k ones...that number indicates the color frequency...it means it's more in the blue/daylight spectrum... They sell them at Walmart... Make sure it says 6500k on the box.

Ok yeah, fuck it then... I'll just get 6500k cfl then to ensure it the proper one. I will not fuck this up boys ; spores come in (about) a week. I will bookmark this page and repost in here for updates. With pictures of course. Glad I brought this up instead of following my intuition .. Thanks for the insight bitches. I think I'm good to go

if you can't find a 6500k at the store 5000-6500k works.

I just bought a 6500k bulb... So about the substrate and sterilization, is it okay to just use a rubber band on top of the foil? The video I watched the guy poked two holes in the lid, then screwed on the lid until right when it met resistance, then he put foil on top. Will the steam pressure ruin it or no, I sound like an idiot. And also how much water are you putting in the pot?

WHats that for? I wouldn't put a rubber band over the foil no, you want steam to be able to penetrate into the jar. I doubt it would make too much of a difference but I wouldn't do it.. no need to anyways.
