Tent Lighting?
    #27386391 - 07/13/21 06:42 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

What kind of light is right for a 5’ X 5’ tent? Would this be a good option?

they do look nice but would they hold up in a tent with 90%+ humidity?

They hold up fine in my tent. I keep my tent between 88-92% rh. I have been using these lights for the past 6+ months and they are still going strong.

Are you recommending 4 for the tent, one in each corner?

How long is the wire, do I need to get an extension?

You will need an extension cord in order to reach from your outlet into the tent but the lights come with cords so you can daisy chain them together.

And 4 would be enough for this size tent?

Yes. I am currently using a 5x5 vivosun grow tent to fruit my mushrooms. The tent is so reflective inside and mushrooms don't need a lot of light anyways. Check out my signature titled set it & forget it grow tent.

I just went through that thread about your tent. Very interesting, good read. And your canopies are awesome!

I have the same size tent. But I will have the fogger in the dub sitting inside the tent.

For this size tent do you need a 10 head fogger?

I am doing gourmet in the ten for cubes I don't bother, I just use 66qt tubs and they do fine.

What do you get from first flush from a 15qt?

The ten head works well for my 5x5 as well as my 4x8. The 4x8 I use for my gourmet grows. The fogger inside the tent will work just as well.

I was pulling anywhere from 136-180 grams dry with 3 qts of spawn in those 15 qt tubs first flush. My best flushes were with the whytegold and rustywhytes.

3 qt spawn in a 15 qt tub!
That is how much I was putting to my 66qt (Lately I have been putting sub to bags). I need to revisit things here.

Are your tent conditions (temperature/humidity) different for your cubes/gourmet?

Cube tent- 70-75*F/88-92% rh

Gourmet tent- 68-72*F/75-85% rh

I have been growing king oysters, wild oysters and lion's mane in these conditions and they have done fine so far. However, some gourmet mushrooms need the temps a bit cooler so you may have to adjust accordingly.

I would have thought gourmet requires higher RH. I try to mine at 90%.
Cubes, however, I have been growing in 50% (a/c apt) with no problems.

On your King Oyster do you puncture holes in the bag or just cut the top of the bag open?

Check out stromrider's gourmet grow. I had a short discussion with hin after he posted his blue oyster grow. I am currently attempting to mimic his approach.

I had just happen to have read it a few day ago!
Wondering if you already have results from chanting to his method?

And do you puncture several holes on the bottom, one long cut along the whole bottom or just one hole?

I used an exacto knife to make one long slit in the center along the length of the bottom of the bag. So far it is working great. If you would like to see some pics I will take some tomorrow morning when I get home from work.

I would love to see some pictures. Thank you.
I find the Blue Oysters can go from pining to ready for picking in less than 24 hours. Could be a problem when I'm away for a day or so.

Thanks. That's really nice. KO are usually very aggressive. How long did it take to fruit from when you cut the holes?
