    Invitro lighting during fruiting

    SWIMs jars have been flipped for 4 days now, but he is beginning to wonder if they are receiving enough light. He has his Tit setup in a closet which is sitting on a coffee table. The coffee table has a flourescent grow light on it next to the Tit. He turns the light on for around 1-2 hours a day and has done this since day one.

    Is this enough of a light source?
    Is the 1-2 hours a day enough lighting time?

    Thank you

    PS here is a pic of his setup

    wow, uz quick, thanx. If you don't mind I have a couple more questions. Were you going invitro? How long after full colonization did pins come?

    That is plenty of light and plenty of time to leave it on.

    One thing to be aware of - your boomers will grow towards the light. If you get the light up above them, you'll have less casing material to clean off the harvested fruits.

    Bonzai

    I'm not using casing (at least I don't think from what I understand of casing) cuz I'm going invitro. Should I still put the light above the Tit?

    Thanx man

    Well, DUH. Sorry, I apparently can't read this evening!

    Location of the light is irrelevant for invitro.
