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?

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

pans are for the most part super tiny and thin and dry very fast but its ok cuz they are 4-5 times more potent than cubes 1 dry gram is an average dose

Ask yourself the following 2 questions:

A1: No, not at all: really...
Q2: was it at least funny!?!
A2: No, not at all: really...

I've had 8 bags of trich: RECENTLY... I probably lose more than most attempt to grow: but I PUMP mush out as well lol... anyone claiming they dont lose things to contamination fairly regularly, are either being dishonest, or cultivating very little

If they're piled in they can take way longer vs being spaced out. Gotta find a balance. If the weather is really humid that can also have more of an affect than you'd think.

He said hes not had any contamination issues lately: I was saying, that's not the same statement as "I never have contamination issues"... if you grow enough, for long enough, it happens... to put it another way; no one never sees contamination, or EVERYONE SEES CONTAMINATION lol

i was just taking place in the conversation was all when caps was talkin about tossin out more shit than what some ppl grow and how that everyone gets contams and they r lyin if they say tbey dont. i just was stating that ive had issues lately also but that they were on a genetic level and not a contam issue. but i still wasnt implying that i dont ever have contam issues that keep me from a finished grow cuz i do. just not lately is all. but really its even kinda of an irrelevant point i made i was just basicly saying to caps ya that sucks i feel for ya but not to feel bad cuz atleast he didnt get all the way to fruiting only to end up with shit like the pucs i posted was all lol
does that help😃

Lol, wow... no: it was a general statement normalizing contamination... it happens, and not always a direct reflection of skill
I hope your good run goes for long... I'm on the downhill side of a green wall, but I'm assigning it to prep adjustments needed with new equipment... my oats have looked like shit until recently and my luck seems to be turning around (knocks on wood)... still narrowing prep down but getting closer... meanwhile, oyster colonizes brick!

And the only reason I mentioned contam is because the guy that asked the question about the lights is the same guy that told pasty he wasn't gonna toss his uncle bens bags that smelled earthy.

If you plan on doing multiple tubs, you can get a 4ft 6500k shop light and hang it vertically on the wall. I have 8 tubs on a shelving rack in front of one light to save space.
