18/6 - 24 hous of light ok for mushrooms?
    #23430732 - 07/10/16 10:41 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

I've been reading posts about lighting that say 12/12 is ideal, and mushrooms need darkness, but they are all older posts. What's the recent consensus on lighting. Whould 6 hours of darkness be enough? Im asking because I'd like to keep plants in my fruiting room.

I think they'll be just fine, light is only a secondary pinning trigger.
You should focus more on getting your tubs dialed in properly via polyfill.
You want lots of FAE, so make sure the air keeps circulating in the room.
A small fan pointed away from the tub will help.

If the surface looks to be drying out, then hit it with a quick mist to replenish lost moisture at the surface and watch those pins start to pop up :awesomenod:

The light schedule on shrooms doesn't have the effect it has on plants. Any light cycle within reason will be good. As long as you don't have day's long periods of dark/light, everything will be fine.

Shrooms have very basic light requirements because they don't get their energy from the light like plants do. It helps to have the right kelvin colour temperature but the cycle and lumens don't have to be anything specific as long as they are not in any extremes.

what that guy said ^^^
you could put them in a shaded area of the grow room for a few hours maybe, out of direct sunlight

I assume you are growing cubensis and their natural environment is close to the equator so they should be able to deal with a little extra sun, they might even like it if you keep them hydrated enough/partially shaded/airflow
