A few questions on adjustments and lighting!
    #23821105 - 11/10/16 08:46 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Hey everyone how are you? Today I have come to the board to discuss lighting and growth in SGFC, So at the time of craft for my FC I was only able to obtain a hefty tote with a solid color lid "my bad" SGFC Is crafted with a bit of a lighting issue but also I have an issue with the humidity of the chamber or so it may seem as condensation stays on the inside aswell as not having a superior light source I think this may be stunting growth or even stressing the mycelium itself as a few blue spots have appeared on a cake!

condensation has little to do with humidity, it has to do with temperature. if the humidity is say even as low as 5% and you have something colder than the dew point condensation will form.
if the SGFC is built correctly there should never be condensation unless you sprayed the plastic when you mist your cakes, but plastic doesn't grow so spray the cakes not the walls.

Lol okay so it's probably just when I mist it but I'm wondering about this lighting, the mushrooms look nothing like the picture from vendor so how do I know things are right? There small and seem stunted not medium and thick!

5000-7000 Kalvin color temperature
florescents works well. CFL or tubes
6500K is ideal if you can find a bulb
you want ~1000 lumens per tub less than a foot away from a clear side or the top.

you may be misting too often, or too much when you do mist.

is the SGFC built 100% correctly holes in the bottom 4-6 inches of perlite.

I have said before that if there's time to brush your teeth twice a day there's time for a SGFC. but even if you are gone more than an 8+ hour day and sleeping for 7-8 hours you can still neglect a SGFC some more. and things will be just fine, they're nearly automated. more so in fact that most automated grows I've ever seen hob cobbled together

Okay thanks so much, I must be misting to frequently so I'll definitely reduce that, I'd hate for my SGFC to be defective ,I just made my first harvest and am quite excited thanks so much for the guide I'll be a problem yet!
