Shelf lighting
    #28103226 - 12/18/22 09:55 AM (2 years, 29 days ago)

Is shelf lighting necessary for each shelf if the the shelf unit is in front of a window and indirect sun? I have read that lighting is required or the shrooms grow funny and I've read that it doesn't affect it all.

Indirect lighting in front of a window should be fine.  I’d recommend rotating your tubs every couple/few days so they all get the same amount of light.  That’s good to do anyway as air currents can vary in different parts of a shelf unit

Okay it's that time of year to get fruiting again, so I've always done single mono tub grows on a dresser in Grandma's spare room where she keeps the karaoke and sewing machine. I have had up to two totes going on a dresser opposite the one window in the room, that seems to get adequate indirect sunlight supplemented with a ceiling led light when the sun goes down. I'm wanting to step up the game with shelving for more totes as the dresser is now gone, I don't want to have to use supplemental lighting for the tote that would be on the middle or bottom shelf, if I can help it. I've seen where other folks have actually stacked their totes one on top of each other with no problem with no more light, but what I'm worried about is the lower totes being cut out of light and ending up with poor fruits. I use clear tubs, both bottoms and lids, and there's a couple inches of space between the lid and the next shelf above it. If I have to there's enough room to put a low profile LED under each shelf but I really don't want to run chords in a bunch of other crap. Any input or experience on lighting and shelving in a room with good sun?

Ok sounds good, apology for redundant?
