Newbie questions

Hello, I've been wanting to try mushrooms for about a year now. I've went hunting a few times this year with no luck, however I am now turning my attention to cultivation. I read the Tek's, and I think I have a good idea of how it's done, I just had a few questions.

First, about how many grams wet does one cake produce if I use the basic PK Tek method?

The second is lighting. In one of the tek's I read that small amount of light is required. I read that a 15 watt flourescent would be sufficient. I bought a 15 watt (but says actually produces like 35) small closet flourescent lamp. Would this give sufficient lighting? Also, the hole that must be made on the top of the box, do you have to use plexy glass or is there other alternatives?

One last question, if the lighting is enough, how far above the chamber do you put it?

Well, I'm probably about to get 20 flames about using the search function and the teks, but I would like to hear different opinions from you guys. Thanks a lot, and when I get started I'll be sure to make a grow log to keep you guys updated! Thanks.

I wont answer your question partly cause I don't know and weight is not important but a matter after the fact.


As far as a light source goes yeah that will work, the light and a clear lid. It doest really matter how far....but remember that the light gives off heat so keep it out of the FC and not right on the lid you should be fine :thumbup:

No flaming just worry about the weight after you get there :thumbup:
