Could be true that's why I like these styrofoam cups I can cut a little hole out see where the roots are at. Looking right now.

I've been thoroughly researching LEDs and with these new Samsung diodes they all seem to be similar. I still have no idea what to buy what would it be the best bang for my buck I really like hlg I feel like they're the best and their American but expensive. I have 600 to spend any suggestions.

With regard to light. I have performed explicit experiments regarding light as a primary trigger. I have placed identical containers, one in ABSOLUTE DARKNESS and the other under led grow lights.
The darkened containers yielded few primordia. The lighted ones several orders of magnitude more. The trouble with mere observation of this effect is that one cannot look at the substrate without....light. it takes little light to begin that triggering mechanism but the more and more consistent the light, the larger the initial yield.
Certainly lower levels of co2 after a prolonged period of high concentration does promote fruiting but NOT as the only fruiting factor. And this notion of "microclimates" has never been adequately proven, I don't even know how it might be tested. There can be any number of other reasons for primordia occurring at the edges of substrate from early exhaustion of nutrient to more light exposure to the irregularities of structure that are favored by the mycelium itself.
If you want orchestrated fruiting and high yield, light is the first option.

I was reading your easy af tek and that's what I'm doing if I can get a Spore print. I wish I would have started this conversation earlier before I inoculated those brf jars. So I'm going to have to take these cakes that are almost colonized and try to shred them to bulk substrate in a shoebox or monotub. What do you suggest.

Yeah guys I have to admit I have no f****** idea what I'm doing with these mushrooms. I'm extremely busy but I have read as much as I can about the topic but you know just like growing cannabis practice makes perfect.
Here's what I did I inoculated the jars they took about a month to fully colonize. On 4/18 I put them in the sgfc. Waited all the way till 5/2 and nothing. So l dunked them overnight and put them back in on 5/3. I've gotten a quarter off them so far. They're still on the fruiting chamber popping out of mushroom or two here and there. I mean these cakes are probably almost trash by now but I'm a try to junk them again and put them back in and see what happens worst thing that can happen is nothing. So yeah they've been in the fruiting chamber for a month now LOL I don't know what I'm doing but that seems way too long.

I think I'd fruit out what I have and begin again.

Wow
That's what I want to do. There's 6 jars I have inoculated. They've been colonizing for about 3 weeks and look almost fully colonized but I'm going to wait however long I have to for them to completely consolidate but they're already pulling away from the jars and I see moisture. What do you recommend doing with these new jars are you saying put those ones in the sgfc also after I take the other ones out and restart? I don't know much but Imo it would be better to shred them to a shoebox to make a bulk substrate from Coco and vermiculite and use the bucket Tech for the substrate. I would just need to know what's a good ratio for six half pint cakes and what size shoe box. Or if it's better I can build a monotub. Advice would be really appreciated I would like to get the most bang for my buck. You familiar with sporeworks and premium spores genetics? Thanks a lot man I'm sorry for bugging you with these newbie questions I've been trying to do the research but I have a lot going on and I feel like you would just be best to ask someone who knows what the hell they're doing.
