Quick lighting question
    #23557141 - 08/19/16 02:55 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

I'm looking at buying a lighting set up to compare it to my current conservatory lighting and also as winter is coming its gonna get cold and dark in UK. I've got some ape and uncut pe on the way from a sponsor so want everything perfect.
So what do I need I'm cool with setting up grow rooms etc got 2 as it is CFL and HPS bulbs, chances are I may have the required lighting set up knocking around (I know my HPS grow lamps will cook the shrooms)
n.b. I don't want an argument whether you do or don't need lights :thumbsup:

Edit: side note why is there a heart next to my thread?

Don't run the light 24/7.  Most mushroom growth occurs during the period of darkness.  Mycelium also has circadian rhythms just like people, and benefits from a day/night cycle.

Bright light is better than dim light, but any 6500K, 15w to 20w fluorescent lamp will be great.

For tubs, I just use the kind of desk lamps that have a clip on the end with some 6500k cfl's. Something like the Phillips 823031 bulbs and the Boston harbor flexible table lamp found on amazon. Works pretty good, unless you're stacking tubs on top of each other.

Damn it I've got 6500k but 125w's & 85w's too powerful think I have some less strong bulbs I'll see what they are once I figure out where they are

So I found more CFL bulbs and they are 20w but that's equal to 85w on a normal everyday tungsten bulb

yep.

13-15W CFL = ~60 tungsten
18-20 = ~75
25-27 = ~100

I use a 26w CFL per tub.
