Grow parameters
- Colonization 16 days, 25 °C, 92% humidity

- Pinning 6 days, 22 °C, 95% humidity
- Fruiting 10 days, 22 °C, 90% humidity
Light recipe
Dark while it colonizes, then 12 h a day of cool white with some blue.
Light details
P. cubensis needs light to start pins, and blue light works for that. Colonization is dark. Pinning and fruiting get 12 hours a day at 20% white (92 lux on this chamber) with 80% blue.
WS2812 blue is roughly 465 to 475 nm. The RGB mix is an approximation, not a measured spectrum.
| Phase | Hours on | White | RGB mix |
|---|---|---|---|
| colonization | 0 h on | white 0% | RGB 0 / 0 / 0 |
| fruiting | 12 h on | white 20% | RGB 0 / 0 / 80 |
