Lights?
    #5261673 - 02/04/06 05:19 AM (17 years, 11 months ago)

Hi

I've been considering setting up a small 'shroom grow for a while, but having thought everything through i reckon the only viable place to put the jars/terrariums is under my bed (not because i need to 'hide' it, but simply because i have no space).
The temperature should be fine, but there's practically no sunlight at all. I don't particuarly have a permenant solution to this problem yet, but what i do have is one of these.
Assuming i can keep it plugged into the mains and on continuosly (which i'm not convinced about, but if) would it be an adaquate source of light for the shrooms? Might there be a problem with the light being too strong if i don't dim it first? If i do decide to go and buy a better light is there anything that i should definately avoid?

Thanks in advance

Edit: While i'm thinking about it i've got another question. because of the way my room's heated, the temperature may vary from ~65 F to ~80 F (~15 C to ~ 25 C). As far as i understand it these temperatures are all within a roughly reasonable threshold, but will the fact that it varies have an effect on the growth of the shrooms?

sunlight is bad for shrooms as the uv rays are said to be bad. But most don't have a problem with it. That light will be way too much. I wouldnt even use a light. If that was all I had. You only need light when you fruit. And usely the light the get from your room when you fan them should be enough. light has little positive effect on mushroom.

walmart carries a $1 nightlight thats adequate, indirect sunlight can also work
I'd avoid the spotlight since it'll put out a lot of heat along with a great deal of light
