I could be wrong, and if I am, I apologize but I believe 12/12 lighting refers to light timing, 12hrs of light on and then 12hrs of darkness?!? And as far as your blue light spectrum, plant growing lights or good o'l daylight has decent blue in it I believe. Hope this helps!!!

Yeah I think your right 12 hours of light. I read that they only need 4 hours of light to start pinning. Mine get 8 hours of indirect light plus 4 hours of grow light.

You want daylight (blueish) in the over 6000k range.

12/12 = 12h on 12h off

i have no idea what spectrum it is in but it sure is blue to me. its a florescent indoor grow lamp i picked up at the local zoo-mart for $9.95 and a timer for another $4.00 or so on a 12/12 light cycle

If it is for plant vegetative growth it will be 6000k or above.

What was it, an agrolite? a grolux?

keep the light on and let some moister escape form teh cakes it will signal the myc to pin as well make sure they dont smell like rotten oranges if its healthy they should smell good... if you can unplug your humidifier for a day that would be good drop to humidity to 50% for a while

The rest period with lower humidity is great between flushes. Allow the cake to rest a few days after each flush with lower humidity. Let it dry out a bit, then dunk (to rehydrate) and roll again and you are ready to go.

As said, yes, 12 hours on, 12 hours off is correct.

Any white fluorescent bulb has plenty of blue light for mushroom growing. Incandescent bulbs (aside from generating a lot of heat and being horribly inefficient) don't produce much blue light, so they're not as suitable.

Looks like lots of bumps on the cakes, you should see pins soon.

I have had a few cakes take a week and a half to pin.

The camera isn't your problem, it's the pictures your taking.
Use the macro feature on your camera. It's a flower icon.
Then punt your lens like 5-7 inches form the cake, and your golden.
