Can you explain?

And you run the bottom humidifier for FAE and the top humidifier for humidity? At the same time?


I was planning on just doing open container with a horse poo substrate. Leaving the lid closed while it colonized and just opening it when they were ready to fruit. That is how you do it right?

You don't need a martha. In fact, don't do that. To complicated and won't outperform a monotub. If you want to grow cubensis just make a monotub or do Open Air fruiting. Marthas are more for exotic and edible species like Shiitake.

Monotub: You mix your spawn (colonized grain) with your pasteurized horse manure bulk substrate. A common bulk substrate is 20% vermiculite, 5% Gypsum and 75% horse manure. Then you mix your Spawn with your pastuerized horse manure in a container, close the lid of the container until it reaches to full colonization. The container, in this case is a monotub, the holes of the monotub are taped while it is colonizing. Once it reaches full colonization, you Untape the holes and stuff polyfill and just let it fruit.

Open air Fruiting: Mix your spawn with your pasteurized bulk substrate in an aluminium tray or whatever, cover with foil while it colonizes, poke some holes for Gas Exchange. Once it reaches to full colonization, take the foil out and apply a Casing layer. Open air fruiting is posibble because the casing layer, without the casing layer is not reliable. You just have to take care that the casing layer won't dry and mist it regularly. There's no need for a fruiting chamber, everyone is like... FRUITING CHAMBERS MUST HAVE 99% air humidity. That's not true, the humidity that matters is the surface humidity where the casing layer is. The surface is where the mushrooms pop out, you don't need environmental humidity really, just surface humidity and FAE. And well Open air have infinite FAE lol. 



These were fruited in open air. Is the third flush. So as long as the casing layer is nice and wet you will have 99.99999999999999% humidity at the surface level where it matters.

A monotub don't need a casing layer but because inside the monotub there is 99% of humidity so the surface won't dry as fast like in open air. For open air Casings are necessary.

But yeah, a portable A/C will probably be necessary with or without the MH and HPS lights if it stays at about 85 - 90 in your house. You want them around 78 if you can.

You don't need circulation. You need ventilation.

Holes in the ceiling are not a option either lol.

WOAH WOAH WOAH... BULLSHIT!!!!!!

Air circulation around the plants is critical.

The plants suck up all the available CO2 within a few seconds, if you don't keep the air moving around the leaf zone they sit in stale air and stop growing within 30 seconds or so.

You create a "No Fly Zone" that makes it hard for small insects to fly through, which cuts feeding and breeding cycles.

You reduce the amount of powder mildew by keeping the air in the damp corners of the plant ventilated and exchanged.

Air circulation is key to plant happiness.  Keep fans under the plants so that there is airflow under the canopy as well, not just on the tops.

Ventilation is circulation imo
But thanks for clarifying all of that even tho I already said I really had no experience, just bouncing ideas off.....even tho I didn't read half of what you typed

Maybe you should read what he typed since you yourself said you have no experience.

And I'm just thinking in just buying one of these grow cabinets http://supercloset.com/product/grow-boxes/superflower-led-grow-cabinet/ and put it in my bedroom, they don't look like if I'm growing plants like a growing tent looks. I can't put it my bedroom, If the temperature is fine for me is fine for the plants too. Big windows in my bedroom, i can just open them 1 a day and turn on fans.

I really just need weed for my consumption.

First off, there are plenty of HPS lights that give off a blue spectrum as well, such as the one I linked earlier in the post..

They get a 1-3% increase in THC? WHOA there buddy, that's INSANE! 
link pls?
And that's about where I stopped reading

This is a THERMAL image of two closed tents, nothing about having more blue light in the LED.

Here's a video of the lab results from a side by side. Others have noted it in the past and this guy put a video together, you can follow the entire grow log if you want.
