Fruiting with not so much light?
    #7591009 - 11/03/07 01:01 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Hi, im planning on purchasing a grow bag  and spores and placing it in a chest in my closet. Ive heard from different sources that once the substrate is colonized all i have to do is expose the bag to light like once a day for around 5 minutes,is this right? Also, are there any easy ways to expose them to light, without the hassle of buying a grow light and letting it sit out  in the open, catching the suns rays., both of which i cant do. ANy help would be awesome :smile:

You will get much better results giving it 12/12 light cycle, get a compact fluerescent bulb with a color temp of between 6000k and 7000k, u can tell by the light it gives off, will be a cool blue tint like this.



Stick it on a timer.

Mushrooms grow towards light, im not sure what effect no light would have on growth.

Also you will want FAE as this is the most important pinning trigger and will help reduce the risk of contams

I have been using a 25 watt soft white bulb 7-8 hours a day. Pinning was just fine, big fruit size too :thumbup:

I am pretty happy with this bag of pins, it's off incandescent and indirect sunlight:

Very limited light actually makes for some very tall, skinny mushrooms. They seem to strive for the limited amount of light they get.

In a pf-tek grow that I did two years ago, I crumbled and cased the cakes. I was only able to give them about 10 minutes of light each morning and evening. They were some of the tallest, skinniest GT's I have ever seen.

Your sources were idiots with no knowledge of mushrooms. If you can't expose to light or place near a window during the daytime, I'd suggest a different hobby until you get your own place.

Also, if you plan to grow in a sealed bag, only a few substrains will perform well with the limited fresh air available. If you're not lucky enough to get one of those substrains from multispore inoculation, your performance will be poor at best.

I would try pulling the string or fliping the light switch to the on position. JK

I saw some Battery powered lights that you can stick and click that should do the trick;)

There is a tek on this site that uses minimal light with no adverse effects in a closet. It was in either the casing or substrate section.

Bulk neglect report by mycofile. Very little light.

so it is possible, good pinset also. I don't think he is an idiot.

I believe the rule is that if there is enough light in the room to see sufficiently, it should be just fine. Mushrooms aren't like plants, they don't need the same kind of light/amount of light to grow like they do.

3b filter patch bags allow plenty of FAE.

I have come across MANY great invitro strains

Oak Ridge
Texas
F+
Syzygy
B+
Mazatapec
Palenque
Amazonian

and last but not least

tasmanian


I have had not one strain do poorly invitro in a "mycobag"

I must be pretty lucky.

Thanks for the replies, some of it was what i wanted to hear, others....not so much. I think iam going to give it a shot though, might as well try. Ive decided I can expose it to light for a total of 10 hours, how is that? and then give the bag sufficient temperatures. If the bag doesnt work out that well or if i want to try something else, ill try my hand at working with a 2 litter pop bottle terrarium.

Does anyone have any photos of these 2 litter projects?
