Fruiting - providing light w/out contamination
    #3512726 - 12/17/04 08:31 AM (19 years, 3 months ago)

Hey, thanks for deciding to help answer my question.
I have a rubbermaid grow chamber but it has folding lids on it (with a hinges)... and had previously applied plexi glass to the surface of the grow chamber so that light could enter in from the top. I think, because of the wholes in the top crated from the hinges (separation of plexi glass from chamber) I got a wierd green mold. I pourd salt on it and discontinued using the plexi glass. NOW, i just let light come in from the sides (it is somewhat transparent). I generally have it in light (both sunlight and 25w bulb) for 14 hrs / day. IS this good (it's a cubensis strain).
Ok thanks for your help. Much appreciated. Im always on AIM, feel free.

Green mold could be from many things. Heh, you need a top to keep humidity though. Use saran wrap.

Eat more string cheese. It's good for you.

First off use "lexan" it does not warp when exposed to high humidity climate required for mush growing .
As far as your light situation , light coming in from the sides will cause mushies to grow in all sorts of weird angles , even some laying across sub making them not good for printing ,if soil and such all over the caps and gills .
If having troubles with chamber being sealed off ... save up and make a new one that you can control air flow(gaps and holes ) , and lighting features .

12/12 light is good for pinning, and even good for just plain fruiting, but i drop my light back to 6/18 after the pinset is done.

You didnt get mold from a few cracks around the top of your chamber. My PMP's always purposefully dont have a lid that fits tight and is a little loose.

You got green mold because your grow area/house/you aren't clean enough. If you dont dump the contaminated cakes/casings and clean well you will never get rid of the mold.
