Simple Lighting * 1
    #26665520 - 05/11/20 10:05 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

I am curious to hear what simple, minimal lighting solutions have worked best for everyone. Mostly looking for past experiences. I am just starting out, and will be working with shoeboxes, monotubs, and agar petris. I bought one regular spiral fluorescent 6500k bulb, and was hoping to just be able to use a lamp. I am also planning on leaving the fruiting tubs in the dining room, which is open and connects with the living room in my apartment. I'd like to be able to do this with out being blinded by white light constantly every day.

Thanks for your opinions in advance!

Simplest method? Sunlight. But just a lamp or two will be fine if you're just doing a couple/few shoeboxes or a mono or two at a time

Does the amount or location of light have a direct impact on fruit size and potency?

No. But mushrooms like light. They look funny if you grow them in the dark.

The best lighting is a 6500k florescent bulb. You can get a CFL that will fit in a regular incandescent lamp socket or you can buy the long shop lights for like 12$ each at Lowe's. They're like 4" long and fit 2 florescent bulbs. They are perfect for stacks of tubs, you can just stand them up vertically next to them.

Get a timer and set it to 12 on 12 off. Easy.

I use indirect sunlight, just natural lighting. Do not put in direct sunlight. I have had no issues.

You don't need to run a light if it's bright enough for you to not turn on the lights. Lights are for closet grows, not for living space grows.

Indirect sunlight is best. Also, i have a CFL 6500k light bulb too, works great even at minimal lighting conditions (under 8hrs a day).

I dont like the CFL light but if u have a lamp, u can point it toward your grow and away from your eyes.
