Is this too much light?
    #26817502 - 07/11/20 02:30 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

Is this too much light. First grow , I put a mycobag in a monotub. I have read posts here that too much light could affect the growth. I'm barely forming pins counted around 50...

Don't know what's going on there,
I haven't seen such a lighting setup before.

Usually you want a 6500K bulb in 12/12 cycle above the tub.
That's no daylight at all there.

What's that foil for underneath?

The one on the left is 6500 flourescent and the one on top 5000 led and the foil is so that the blue and 6500 reflects and hits all sides of my cake or whatever yall call it.

I'd put just that on the left on top.

BTW i can't see any moisture on your cake,
it must be really dry.

How do I fix that ? Inject it.. I just dropped it out of the mycobag into the tub 2 days ago ... or should I dunk it ? Or will misting heavily be ok?

Also you nearly made a barrier to the perlite,
you just need as much foil to fit your cake on.

Yes you can mist from high above,
not directly on the cake.
But don't overdo, you just want a glistening surface.


The problem here is, you just have one cake in there.
Usually you fill the tub with many more,
so humidity will be much higher.
One single cake will dry out fast without maintenance.

Ok yeah I been doing that then I fan but there is an ac in the room that's about 4 hours since the previous misting. Maybe I'll move the location of tub. I was debating a dunk or Injection cuz I felt it was dry coming out of the bag too. But since it my first try at this I was worried I'd maybe contaminate it. I've been having growth and more pins every 5 hours or so ... everytime I come back I notice more... thanks for the advice

To answer your question, no. It's not too much light and there's no such thing unless your lights are so hot that it increases the ambient temperature above desirable ranges.

Not necessarily. Normally, to bruise from being too dry it has to be like desert dry or a prolonged period of excessive dryness.
