Quote: No. That temp is fine. Quote: No. That temp is fine. Jars/bags/tubs/trays should colonize @ room temperature getting ambient/indirect light. Main pinning triggers are full colonization, FAE and Evaporation off of the substrate. Light is a secondary pinning trigger. For tropical species temperature is not a pinning factor. P. Cubensis are a tropical species. You could colonize at 70F and fruit at 80F with great results. Light has been proven beneficial during all stages of mycellium growth. Mushrooms like mammals have a circadian rhythm. You want ambient/indirect light(on a 12/12 schedule preferably) for colonization and consolidation. You want direct/intense 6500K light on a 12/12 schedule for fruiting. Optimal temps are mid 70s throughout the whole grow, but anywhere from 65F-80F is acceptable. Incubation is outdated/uneeded unless temps in the range stated above cannot be kept. The inside of the jar is always a few degrees warmer than the outside because the mycellium produces heat..mycellium tends to stall at temps above 83F , and contams thrive. Fruiting at cooler temps tends to produce denser, meatier fruits, while fruiting at higher temps will often produce hollow, less dense stems. Mycelium should be exposed to ambient room light from day of inoculation as has been known for many years. Light is not a pinning trigger until after full colonization and an increase in air is given, and even then it's a secondary pinning trigger. RR Edited by PussyFart (10/07/14 06:18 PM)
