Lighting Question
    #22331821 - 10/04/15 08:59 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

My grow is in my closet with a 5000k 1,000 Lumen light right beside it. The problem is the top isn't transparent so I'm worried that the light isn't being spread evenly(the backs of the cakes aren't really getting any light). Is this something I should worry about? I have a 3000k battery powered LED light I can stick in there under the lid but the 5000k light overpowers it and it almost seems like it does nothing. On a side note, two of the cakes in the middle of my fruiting chamber have started pinning yesterday so I reckon that's a good sign.

No it should be fine. As long as the sides of the tub are clear, all should be well. Most of us when doing mono's, usually stack them on top of each other, preventing light from entering the tops anyways. :thumbup:

Thanks for the quick response. I'm on the 8th day now after birthing them. Another question though. If two cakes have started pinning so far about how much longer till all of them are ready to harvest? I know you don't know exactly because I'm sure it varies from one grow to another but an estimate would be cool.

It will vary, even from cake to cake, that's what you get from MS. Usually pins will be fully mature in about a week, given ideal fruiting conditions. :cheers:
