I didn't say no light at all, aka darkness, just that CFL may be not that a big deal of a requirement, that's all I meant. I've had successful grows with just normal sunlight, not direct sunlight but rather just light. I started my sentence with ''light is beneficial to mycelium during all stages'' :lol:

Personally I would use CFL in underground grows, such as burried shipping containers/basements/cellars...etc The rest I use sunlight, it's cheaper and a lot better

Ok what about the Lid?

To use or not to use the lid for the plastic tub?

I have never used the lid

Wait what are you talking about?  The lid?  Most things that come with a lid in mycology should have the lid on.  Are we talking about a fruiting chamber here or something else?

If your lid is a solid color, like light can not pierce through it, substitute it with something else. My MONOTUBES ( :lol::lol: what a fucking ridiculous term ) that had a solid colored lid I replaced with a sheet of glass.

What some people also do is buy a strip of white/blue LEDS and run it through the tub. LEDs are nice and very low wattage so if you wanna be economical and still use artificial light that's the way to go

I made windows in the lids of my opaque tubs using saran wrap or a sheet of thicker plastic.

Yeah I had seen a couple of posts on some psilocybe facebook group, I think the one Alan runs, where people just stuck LED strips to their opaque lids.

SPOILT FOR CHOICE

Joke's aside, any particular reason why LEDs is not such a good idea ? :shineon:

Personally I don't use it. We get 300days of sun over here so that's my personal preference but I thought it was a neat idea

CFLs are cheaper and seems to work better. I've never seen anything but noobs with air pumps and shit hooked onto their FCs use LED strips.
Heard a lot of talk but no results :shrug:

What I really wanna know is why I cant learn to just stay out of these lighting threads :crazy:

I never understood why people used air pumps. I always thought that was so ridiculous. LEDs I can understand to a point. Meh just enjoy the free posts

If you've seen some of these lights threads before you'll know what we're talking about..
I'm just waiting for the noob of the day to start saying lights have no effect on mushrooms, its just so they know they're over ground, which way to grow etc.. :facepalm:

I was referring to the post number going up :lol:

I don't like hanging around here much, it's mostly the same questions over and over again. I came here to offer my 2cents and I think this thread is pretty much done so I'm out

Peace :shineon:
