Light question
    #8003968 - 02/10/08 09:27 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Hey, I just put one of my cakes into a fruiting chamber and I was wondering whether light is needed throughout the whole fruiting process. Is light needed only until the pins start to form, or should I keep letting the cake receive light after pin formation until my first flush? Much appreciated!

not a huge deal but I suggest going 12/12 throughout the pinning stage and less during fruiting or just put it in a place in your room that gets indirect light

12/12 from a high spectrum fluorescent, such as 'natural daylight' tubes with a color temperature of 6,500 Kelvin, will outperform other sources unless you have a bright south window. Avoid direct sun.

I have a desk lamp with one of those 6,500K energy saver fluorescent spiral bulbs and it works great
