Can a normal flourescent work - or must the bulb be full spectrum?
    #4069417 -

Can one fruit mushrooms with an non-grow flourescent bulb? If so what species? Will chanterelle, or chicken of the forest react or do they need full spectrum light. I need a good answer if anyone has experimented with this. If not, does anyone have a link to a really small 12" flourescent. The bulb now is just a normal kitchen type flourecent bulb, and only about 1 centimeter in diameter. A link would be highly apprecieated and warrant a rating ^_~.

"There is a world beyond ours, a world that is far away, nearby, and invisible. And there is where God lives, where the dead live, the spirits and the saints, a world where everything has already happened and everything is known. That world talks. It has a language of its own. I report what it says. The sacred mushroom takes me by the hand and brings me to the world where everything is known. It is they, the sacred mushrooms, that speak in a way I can understand. I ask them and they answer me. When I return from the trip that I have taken with them, I tell what they have told me and what they have shown me."

yes, any light will work. You will not notice a difference between the full spectrumn and regular lights

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

Aye, just make sure not to use direct UV light for too long.

Tahoe, in your quest to debunk myths you have helped yet another soul. You should add that to your list. Does anyone want to contest these guys assertion? Otherwise, I'll try it myself.

I've got three tubs going with three different kinds of light and I've experimented a bit with rotating the lights and the difference is not noticable to me.

what myth was debunked? Nobody disagreed with tahoe, but i would imagine excessive UV radiation could cause mutations, thats probably all tudik was saying. I don't mean to undercut tahoe at all but this question gets asked at least once a month

I wasn't refering to Tudik's comment. In general readings I have sampled many sources say that flourescent bulbs don't produce the wavelengths that induce fruiting in some species. I would actually thing broad sprectrum bulbs produce a lot more UV than standard bulbs. OK, as to my name it refers partly to my Indian heritage (I'm half Fox Nation) and partly to my religious and spiritual beliefs. It was an old nickname that I got from my wildcrafting habits and its stuck over the years (usually just Shaman). Hope this helps explain things and clarify my identity a bit.

Please show me such readings. I certainly hope they are not on the shroomery. It is well known that flouros and compact flouros work just great, theres no need for full spectrum. I've seen mention of full spectrum being better, but none that say flouros done produce blue wavelengths.

can i use a black light to fruit mushies?? i would think this would work nicely because it is rich in blue/ violet light

UV lighting has caused mutations. And I believe UV breaks down psilocybin. Doesnt seem like the best thing to do. Any white light, especially a flouro, will put out plenty of blue spectrum. Flouros do so at a cooler temp to which is what makes them so grand.

If you want a fluorescent that is especially heavy in the blues, get a marine-glo from pet smart.




It has my cakes pinning on day 6 since birth and they received zero light during incubation. I hear any light bulb above the fruiting chamber is enough though.

just thought i'd put this up for comparison...notice that the "regular" (incandescent) light still emits the blue spectrum, it is just less intense relative to the red

The light issue, is not that big an ISSUE in shroom cult.

Shrooms are not POT.

Eyeball these little inexpensive very EFFECTIVE light bulbs.

Timer 12/12 on/off in pinning stage.
Reduced to 8 on 16 off in fruiting stage.


13 watt compact screw in fluro


7 watt incandesent (exterior Cristmass type)


One single bulb in set ups like this.

SOME RESULTS BELOW

May I ask why you suggest lowering the amount of light during the fruiting stage?

Growth is better during the dark, they get bigger, and thicker, quicker.

Because once the pinset is developed and the fruiting has started, there's no other reason for light than to orient the mushies. Leaving the light on longer will only dry out your casings...
