Lighting, FAE and misting in bulk FC?
    #23353910 - 06/17/16 07:53 AM (7 years, 7 months ago)

Hey guys, first time grower here. I seem to be doing everything perfectly except the lighting, which i cant seem to be finding reliable info for. I dont have a full spectrum light bulb so I'm only using ambient lighting. The tub is on its 8th day of colonization so is that okay or is it best put in total darkness? I'm not misting either because there seems to be enough moisture and water left in the substrate. I'm not fanning because I read that to much FAE during colonization is bad.

Am I doing everything right? I'll include a link to my set up below.

Mist if it needs it, fanning is not FAE, you don't fan bulk substrates you fan SGFCs only after misting and even that's unnecessary.

To fan for FAE you fan over 10 times an hour every hour. Fae is passive if you build your monotub correctly.

6500k CFL bulb about a foot away, darkness is never better.

Sorry i'm new to this whole growing thing. What's SGFC?

I have a couple holes drilled on the sides of the tub which are now currently taped over. I read that air exchange is not needed until substrate is fully colonized.

i wont comment much on the mono for now, but id go out and buy a cheap light fixture. 6500k like stated above is fine. home depot will have the light bulb and a super cheap way to keep it elevated. $5-10 id say. and worth it i believe.

if you have more to spend, it never hurts to grab a timer switch. 12/12hr cycles etc become less tedious this way.

good luck on the grow buddy :smile:
