Hi, I know that Hippie recommends light 24/7 for an invitro grow during the entire colonization period, and through fruiting as well. Question. Would I be better off maintaining stable temps in a dark environment during the colonization period (heat bomb in a tub with jars), than by using christmas tree lights as a supplemental heating source which produce uneven and fluctuating temps? Bottom line, will the jars produce as big a yield invitro (even if slower) by exposing to light only after the jars have colonized in darkness?

Appreciate any/all advise as always!
