Tube light
    #7719138 - 12/05/07 10:49 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

My fruiting chamber is an aquarium containing a tube light (TL, 15 Watt). Its lid looks like this:



I want to put this aquarium in a cupboard. There is virtually no daylight inside the cupboard.
Now I would like to use the tube light of this aquarium in order to provide light to shrooms.
The question is: is the light coming from this tube fine to grow shrooms?

Sure. I'd worry about excess heat though. Cupboards are usually poor fruiting chambers because it's hard to get the air exchange you need.

light like this would work, but a 6500k would be best? I have the same lighting fixture but I am planning on getting a 6500k bulb. Does anyone know if there will be one that fits that setup?

Thanks for the replies. Gas exchange isn't such a problem imho as I'd open the cupboard at least one time a day. Nor is the heat I guess, as long as the mushroom doesn't touch the light:-)
