made darker caps along with more
potent shrooms?
Might be wrong, but thought I saw that.

was the the FBI log from the pf investigation? Is that information available? I can't believe they posted their grow log, including factors to make the mushrooms more potent! :lol:Didn't the FBI grow say that more light

potent shrooms?

They actually sent PF a copy of the report and he posted it on his old site. It may still be available on one of the mirror sites. Sorry don't have a link handy. I don't remember any reference to lighting and potency but it's been a long time since I read it. hehehe I still got a copy PF sent me on an old hard drive. Anyway, the FBI did order from PF and used his directions. It was kinda funny tho. They mis-identified the PFC as a Ps. Cyan.

per day
to trigger pinning.
takes more if light is dim.
more light only helps them orient themselves better
so they grow straight up.
brightness of the light is more important than time,
i've noticed cakes by a window
tend to fruit more
on the side
by the window.

As i recall, that half second of daily light was enough to initiate pinning

how many hours you keep your under hippie? I really want to shoot for the best amount for them or as close as I can get to for the most fruits per cake.
thanks guys!

in other words, they dont use the light for anything but a guide of where to grow towards
whereas green plants, for example, are photosynthetic, and turn the light energy into growth

Light just tells the mycelium its on the outside
Just try to keep the amount of light even around the cakes, you dont need much at all but too much wont hurt

one just needs a second or two if the light is bright
per day

Exactly. The only reason I even use a light is to keep them going straight up. Otherwise they will lean towards the windows. PF family shrooms are highly phototropic and almost require a light directly above for several hours a day to overide the effect that the windows cause. Some strains aren't so touchy and require much less light. If all you have is natural light from a window just rotate the grow chamber (or the cakes or casings) 180 deg once a day. Once summer hits I usually shut my lights off and just use the window.
