Should i be rotating my tubs? Mushrooms are all leaning towards one side

#25126043 - 04/09/18 03:02 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Hi everyone, i have some shoeboxes going and they each have their own little light shining in from the side. I'm noticing that all the shrooms are leaning in the direction of the light. Should I rotate my tub every light cycle to straighten them out you think or does it not matter? I'm not sure if your supposed to keep the light in a consistent spot or not the whole time?

Thanks

Ambient light actually works just fine if you have clear containers. Experiments have been done and they found that literally that exposure to light for a few seconds is all that's really needed to trigger fruiting. I have personally never used lights and have always gotten good results.

I like to take mine out every once on a while. Put them on the table or someplace they can get a couple hours of sunlight.

Unfortunately my only option is to have this set up right now. I keep the lights on a 12/12 cycle, which is what I thought was the most recommended thing to do. Idk if you can tell in the pic but they r leaning like crazy to the left (towards the light).

Will this cause me any problems u think?

The study I was talking about showed that cubensis will fruit with literally a fraction of a second exposure to light. They're not plants, you could totally get away with no lights at all, the ambient light is enough. If you can see your hand in front of your face, it's enough light.

Though they don't "need" light they do "like" it and I've herd several TC's on hear say they will grow tword the light.

Alright sweet thanks guys. Ill just leave it how it is then since it should affect anything negatively.

I can definitely confirm that they grow towards the light because mine are all heavily leaning in that direction in multiple tubs.
