Ambient room light for growing (let’s hear your thoughts and results)
    #26920479 - 09/06/20 04:52 AM (3 years, 5 months ago)

I would like to hear people’s opinions on ambient room light from the sun for grows. I’ve done it before with purple mystics and got great results in the past. I really don’t want to buy a light lol and am trying to keep it somewhat discreet.

Let me know if you’ve ever tried it and how your grows turned out. Add pics if you can. If I still had the pics of my PM’s I’d post them. The grew really strong with just the blinds open. Pretty much comparable to the 6500k T5 LED lights I had.

I have literally never used a grow light on any serious grow. A few of the tubs iv taken pictures of. If you have a window you can leave the blinds half open that should be enough light, or at least thats what I always did.

Hell yeah bro :rockon: glad I’m not the only one who digs ambient light. Who needs expensive energy sucking lights when you have the sun?

My first bulks were all done with ambient light and turned out great imo.



My room does get a fair bit of light and it was summer so day light was long. I'd be interested to see how things go this winter when the days shorten. I'm fairly opposed to getting a grow light at the moment as it's too bait for my current living situation.

I’ve experimented with powerful lights, weak lights, ambient lights, and the regular old incandescent bulb.

My grow space is in a closet, though.  Ambient light doesn’t actually work for me because there isn’t any.

In my experimentation, I have found that the amount of light does not affect yield much, but does affect the physiology of the fruiting body itself.  The more light, the more pins will mature instead of abort, but the average mushroom will be smaller.

The mushrooms evolved to grow on a black/brown cow plop, laying in direct sun out in the field in warm climates.

Just sayin’.

Interesting to hear your findings on lighting. Closet grows always seemed to yield less for me than out in the open grows. I’m going to get a room divider for the corner of my room and grow like that to keep them hidden.

I’ve never used lights on cubes, all my pictures are ambient sunlight.

All of my grows have been in a closet, or under my bed.  No ambient light available.

But you use lights on exotics? I'm slowly working on some pan cyans atm, will I need a light to grow them or are they good under ambient?

Hah! My brains agrees with the gusto within them as well, it's been great not having to worry about running out. God bless mushcult.

I’ve done pans both ways, the ones in my signature were ambient light.

I got led lights mostly for stone producers and king oyster.
