simple pf tek question
    #955997 -

Hey guys.. tried searching for this, and had no luck so I apologize if its been asked before..

I just innoculated 10 jars (5 b+, 5 "tasmanian", all from mycofanatic).. The question is how much light should these jars get now? I have them in a cabinet that will get almost no light at all, should I be exposing them to indirect light, or in darkness until I see sporocaps? Thanks :smile:

Colonizing substrate should be kept in a dark place to make sure the substrate doesn't pin prematurely.
But, fully colonized substrate should be introduced to light to initiate pinning - light "tells" the substrate that the conditions are right for forming fruit bodies.
Only a dim light is needed , anything too bright or warm will harm the cakes. A fluorescent lamp or indirect sunlight is plenty of light. But basicaly any kind of visible light will do. A few hours of light per day is all that is needed, 10 hours is probably a overkill.
A source with a wide spectrum of light, especially containing lots of bluish light (natural daylight or white fluorescent lights are very good examples of light with lots of blue) is best, but a low wattage incandescent light (25 watts is plenty) not too close to the terrarium will work well too. Also the use of x-mass lights has been
