sunlight bulb
    #5004575 - 12/01/05 09:47 PM (18 years, 3 months ago)

hey guys...have a question about a lightbulb. I bought a compact fluorescent "sunlight bulb" that puts out 135W It doesnt say what spectrum it is but it says "Natural spectrum light, natural daylight indoors...blah blah blah...anyways its puts off kinda blue light. Think this will work fine or should I go for something else?

any light will be fine. shrooms dont use light like plants do, infact light provides them with no nutritional value or source of energy, just gives em a direction to grow. ive heard of blue spectrum lights improving the crop, but i have no experience in the subject. you could do a search on the forums, i believe magash has posted a few things about how his light setup has improved his shroomies. good luck.

is it called a "Flourex" bulb, at walmart for about $5-$8.
if so i'm using a 20watt (100watt equivalent) as my lighting, been working great so far.

The only thing I'd be concerned about is heat. If you stick a lightbulb that generates a lot of heat inside the small space of a fruiting chamber, it will heat up... you don't want it to be hotter than mid-70's in there.

If it does create a bit of heat and you have a clear FC top, you can place the light outside of the box....

that will work fine, i have a small 60watt blue lamp that sits about a ft above my FC. just make sure it doesnt heat up and turn down the Humidity level in the chamber.
