Light or Dark for Pins?
    #5252163 - 02/01/06 05:57 PM (18 years, 10 hours ago)

Would pins grow better in the dark or with a little indirect light?  Because I noticed that my pins seemed to have sprung up over night.  Obviously I had the lights off and sleeping. 
So, I was just wondering if the indirect light was slowing it down or not.  More than likely its not...but, just good to know.  :grin:

My mom would say.. A watched pot never boils. LOL

Well I think that applies here. Maybe they just seem to grow more in the dark because your not checking on them as much? Or they could actually be growing more in the dark.. I can't prove that wrong either. However I do know that they need the indirect light after pinning for direction. I give my trays a 12/12 cycle to intiate pinning then afterwards I cut back to just a couple hours a day.

12/12 works great and helps with transpiration which helps fruitbodies swell (grow) :wink:

i dunno what scientific way would be better, but i like my 12/12 set-up/ half on, half off. It seems to work pretty good. i use a standard timer on a very low output nightlight set to 12hrs on/off to get results in my small "mini incubation chamber". it's about 12"x7".
