Lights!!
    #24936015 - 01/23/18 11:46 AM (6 years, 11 months ago)

I’ve not used them before just relied on the sun shining through my window tthe main reason is I really don’t understand it!

Can anybody suggest lighting please I usually have a few shoeboxes maybe a couple of monos when I grow.

Or even be super kind and explain it to my simple mind!

I don’t want to spend a fortune as I’m pretty broke right now.

Thanks

6500k cfl light bulb or equivalent led, what do you need explained? Mushrooms like some light, they don't need it but they do like it.

And keep the lights on for 12 hours and off for 12 hours during fruiting to mimic sunlight and darkness.

All you need is a cheap CFL at 5000K or 6500K.

You can get a metallic lamp reflector at Walmart or Home Depot for like $4. And the light isn't as necessary as you think. I will say there is somewhat of a noticeable difference, but that usually only happens at the fruiting stage.

Cheers. :bonghit:
