New setup by window. Look good enough/sufficient sunlight?
    #23992288 - 01/08/17 12:29 PM (7 years, 22 days ago)

Finally made a better sgfc. While new location, so I was thinking ofabout doing natural light since it's by the window.
Q. Is this window(of non-direct sunlight; it faces east) sufficient sunlight?
Q. Is natural light actually better/sufficient enough? I've heard it's better. 

Any other tips or suggestions are gladly welcomed.

Yeah I always preferred natural light, and seems the fungi do to. That window gives plenty of good light, seems perfect.

Here's some I did right by a window like that:

See in the first photo how nearly every single pin was facing the direction of the light?

It's just a basic monotub grow, rye spawn to horse dung substrate.
Basically you inoculate a jar of prepared rye grains with spores, just like you would a cake, let it colonize 100%, shake jar up, and mix it into the bottom of a tub with some horse dung(pasteurized). There are 100's of teks for this, just use search engine.
I did that grow when I was relatively new to bulk and I didn't know a lot of what I know now, made several minor mistakes,
and wasted time on things like all that black tape on the bottom.

I have tried looking at several but all seem to say something diff(such as you opposing black tape)  I just want one that I know is solid and right. I just am referring to the tub setup itself, not the actual full tek.

Alright I'll get you a good link. One moment. :heart:
And I don't oppose the black tape, it's just utterly useless in every way.

So all the most successful monotubs have 6 holes total.
The tub will have 2 long sides and 2 short sides, since it's rectangular, you put 2 holes(2" holes seem just right) just above the substrate level on both long sides.
Then 2 holes at nearly the top of the tub on both short ends.

Like the tubs seen here.

and
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/17332777#17332777



You don't need to tape bottom, or use a trash bag like this pic, just put the substrate straight into the tub, this is much simpler and works great.

I tape the holes up until the substrate is 100% colonized, then take tape off, and stuff the 4 bottom holes with polyfill, quite tightly, then stuff the 2 top holes very loosely.
