I’ve grown in the dark before I had a light. It works just not effectively or as pretty. I wouldn’t advise it.

Fresh air exchange is the key pinning trigger. Not light. This also has been disproven.

You can also expose mycelium at all stages to light as they benefit from it.  Just a bit of info that’s outdated is all.

Oh okay. I know light isn't the main pinning trigger, but I thought that in complete absence of light, fruits would never form. Learned somethin new:eek:

Am I right in thinking that when you're choosing a bin, one that is clear on all 6 sides will be better than one that has solid colored lid? I know it wouldn't be a huge difference because it would still get enough light, but to me it seems logical that you'd definitely want light coming in from the top and not only through the sides...anybody agree/disagree?

Having light able to hit everywhere on the substrate surface is optimal for sure. :smile:

I actually don’t have a clear lid on mine and have had great flushes. I have a white lid with every other side being clear and most of my light comes from a single 6500k light shinning in the sides of several tubs. I’ve never noticed a difference between the tubs other than the fact that they are like plants and grow in the direction of the light source.

Mushrooms will orient their caps toward light.  They are deriving energy from the light and position themselves to get maximum benefit.

What mushrooms do not need is light to 'tell' them which way to grow.  They'll grow opposite gravity in total darkness.

Here's a picture of penis envy which was turning toward a light source near the floor for exactly this kind of demonstration.
