12 hours light necessary?
    #5712426 - 06/04/06 07:17 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

alright so tomorrow will be the 3rd day since transferred cake to FC and sees some myc growth. Do I really need 12 hours of light? what would be sufficient? (and the rest would obviously be complete darkness)

12-16 hours of any sort of light per day for fruiting.

If you can see the mushrooms, there is enough light.
No need for big bulbs or anything, any light works.
fluorescent, incandescent, sunlight, ....

Frank, some folks go 12/12 to replicate nature. Some expose to light more than that. The bottom line is that light is a pinning trigger. 2 hours is not much; put one of those battery-powered pushlights under the bed, shining down on your FC. GL.

Yes light is a pinning trigger but it's all relevant, you can trigger with as little as a few milliseconds but yields will suffer.

But your yields suffered. We can choose to optimize or not it is a choice each individual must make.

Maybe or maybe you just had yourself a very prolific pinning substrain.

Higher intensity light helps deliver a better pinset than lower intensity light. A few hours is cool, but most growers report better success with 12. The darkness time need not be total darkness. turning on the light to see to see what you're during your mushies 'night' won't hurt anything.

No, he's right. I've seen cakes pin which have never been exposed to even a single photon. Total darkness from spore all the way to invitro pinning/fruiting. The mushrooms were totally white and albino looking, but otherwise looked like normal invitro fruits. Of course, the yield was pretty poor but each of a dozen jars produced.
