Adding Light!
The Ultimate Kit includes our new 36-diode custom dual spectrum HP LED Grow light that is the closest thing to actual sun-
light we have found. We also include one battery LED light, operating at 6,000k. The battery light is optional and mainly used
by closet growers without electricity available.
Mushrooms are very different than plants. They use light only as a trigger mechanism to know when to produce mushrooms
and what direction to grow. The lights provided in our kit provide the essential spectrum of daylight needed for growth.
During the fruiting stage, we recommend they get around 8-12 hours of light per day.
Time to add your cakes!
Remove cakes from the jars. You may need to tap the
bottom of the jars to dislodge any stubborn cakes.
Here is an example of jars on top of the perlite. The top
row have been dunked and rolled. (See Mushroom
Grow Guide) The bottom row have been double end
cased, which is adding moist vermiculite to just the top
and bottom. The two jars on the right side have been
dunked but no extra vermiculite added. In our experi-
ence there isn't one particular method that is better
than the next, but adding vermiculite does help the
cake last longer between dunks without drying out.
Using the Plug in 110v LED 36-Diode Grow Light
Use an extension cord and connect the outlet adapter to the cord.
Screw in the bulb and connect the power.
Remove the sticker covering the hole in the lid and insert the
light bulb into the hole. It should look like the picture to the
right.
Light should be on 8-12 hours a day. Some people prefer to
add an additional timer for added convenience.
