naw that aint how u fruit tubs where tf u guys get this from :shrug:
man spawn ur tubs let that shit colonize till 100 % then introduce fruiting for best results :rockon:


That’s old tek man.  Just about no one does that anymore.  That’s a great way for a newer person with less than ideal spawn to get trich before first flush

I've had a fresh shroom that I cloned from , but its been in my fridge in a paper bag for like 10 days, I wanted to try it fresh and I have been procrastinating.

It is heavily bruised, but not decomposing. Should be good to go right? Better to make tea from it?

Yeah, that’s what I did. I spawned to bulk, after adding beefys compression layer, let colonize for 2 weeks (it colonized in 10 days pretty much but I’m saying 14 just in case. Let consolidate for a week after). Not sure where the issue with this tub could be…sterilized a 3 pound Milo bag for 3.5 hours at 18 PSI, right from the LC I bought and tested on agar fine.

I'm looking to change from small screw in led bulbs to strip lights. I currently have the Growers Select bulbs which have a spectrum tailored with a "unique spectrum for mushroom cultivation".  What are you all using or what temperature range are you using?

I am looking at lights that give a 5000k Daylight range for growing. The same manufacturer also has 3 other grow options in T8 LED strip lights, but they don't like the kelvin scale. in 3 foot lights which would be ideal as I am mounting them on 3' wide shelves, they have 3 color options. Daylight 5000k, a pinkish white and a yellow. All lights are full spectrum. They are made by Barrina LED. I trust the manufacturer as I have a bunch of their stuff to light up stuff for black lighting and they make quality LED lighting.


Most fungi apparently only have photoreceptors for the blue spectrum.  And they only require as much light as a full moon.  According to a fungal biology book I'm reading anyway (some of the info could be outdated, microbiology has come a long way in the last 10 years).

I use these personally in my tents, as they're waterproof and blue/white with separate controls for each.  But if I was growing in totes I would probably just use ambient light.

Might have something to do with the thing all but one member are advising you do different.  My jack frost fruited faster than anything I’ve grown in a couple of years, but I introduce fruiting conditions at spawn so the mush have everything they need to grow quickly.  If they suddenly stalled, there’s the possibility that there’s a hidden contam cooking in there.  I recently had a tub of JF stall out due to trich that took weeks to show up.

Ah, I see. Should all cubensis be introduced to fruiting conditions at spawn or just Jack Frost??

All cubes should be set straight into fruiting conditions at spawn.

My shoebox of JF, set into fruiting conditions immediately at spawn.

one of the main pinning triggers is full colonization what happens when u leave a jar petri to long it fruits after if fully colonizes what ever it was in right but why right at spawn :shrug:

It colonizes fine the way I do it, I can literally spawn it, and not have to touch the tub until it is time to harvest.

I can spawn a tub and go on a vacation, then have perfectly healthy mushrooms and solid flushes when I come back.

I see no purpose in doing it any other way when this method has been foolproof for me for so many years. :shrug:

You can look the same as anyone else, I have nothing to prove to you, I'm just giving advice based on experience.

You have been doing this a long time, and have good grows, I can respect that, but I personally feel like you give outdated info, it is almost like you are shitposting. If you want to do that, please go to Reddit or the Discord.

Thank you for posting the blue lights! I have been reading studies about how blue wavelength lights aid in different aspects of growth in some mushroom types. I have not tested any of this personally but I'm ordering blue lights and will update on what I find out from my grows. 

1. Mushroom Growth and Development

Blue light (wavelength: ~450–495 nm) impacts several stages of fungal growth, especially in basidiomycetes (e.g., Psilocybe, Ganoderma, Lentinula species):

📌 Primordia Formation

Blue light is a key trigger for primordia (fruiting body) initiation, the first step in forming visible mushrooms.

Without light, many mushroom species will remain in the mycelial stage and not produce fruiting bodies.


📌 Photomorphogenesis

Blue light affects the shape, size, and pigmentation of mushrooms.

It can influence cap expansion, stem elongation, and even spore formation.


📌 Orientation and Direction

Mushrooms use blue light as a directional cue to grow upward (phototropism), ensuring optimal spore dispersal.



---

💊 2. Enhancement of Medicinal Compounds

Blue light can modulate the production of bioactive compounds in medicinal mushrooms, such as:

🔹 Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi)

Studies suggest that blue light may enhance the production of triterpenoids and polysaccharides, which have anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and immunomodulatory effects.


🔹 Cordyceps militaris

Blue light increases cordycepin and adenosine content, compounds with anti-tumor, antioxidant, and energy-boosting effects.


🔹 Psilocybe spp.

While the full biosynthetic response to blue light in Psilocybe mushrooms (e.g., Psilocybe cubensis) is not fully mapped, blue light is essential for fruiting, which is when psilocybin and psilocin (psychoactive alkaloids) are concentrated.
