Can someone help me set up 6500k lights for SGFT?

Really no idea where to begin in regards to setting up a light source for shroom growth.. I know the light must be 6500k, but don't know the process of setting this light up, how big it must be, how to even set one up.. if someone could send me links or advertisements that would be amazing.
Ideally, I would set this up in a closet, so whatever works is great.
mush appreciated

I forgot that part. Yeah u have to plug it in for it to work. But a single bulb will do everything you need unless you’re planning to grow pounds a week

So just this

And this

Is what you need? Dangle from the top of the closet, place fruiting chamber below. This is it? Is it not bad if the light is very close to the chamber? Like only 2-3 feet above or so?

What do you mean ? My light is on a timer too and it’s only on when I’m home. I just hang it up in the middle of my closet. It’s fine

Not you. Seems like you can figure out the basics.

Depends on how much I’m drying / the size of the fruits. Usually 165*F for min 6 hours then stored with a desiccant pouch or 2

6 hrs aint very much time man. my dehydrator maxs out at 165 and with even average sized cubes and say only like 2 trays in there it still take at least 12-18 hrs to become truly cracker dry

So far my biggest flush has only been 77g wet. So I’m still only drying small amounts because it’s solely for personal use, however I would love to grow some fatties somehow on a small scale.
My goal is to get slants of all the varieties I can but I’m still working on my agar game
