Well, having a jar next to a strong light is something I wouldn't advise, because though an insignificant trigger in itself, it is still a small trigger. What I am explaining is you can keep jars in a room that is lit without the light triggering pinning.because it was pinning lol i assumed contam. i thought why else would the mycelium think it was done. only factor I could find was light. also it was only the jars closet to the light jars right on other side recieving much less light didn't pin.
yeah i do my jars on a shelf in my closet, they still get light but just practically nothing. STRONG LIGHT can be a problem, which for my jars would have been 46 watt daylight florescent light with in about a foot and a half.When I say light I mean ambient light, not thinking someone would place jars in direct sunlight or close beside a light. I have never hidden my jars away from whatever light is in the room they are, it is not a significant pinning trigger. Consolidation, drop in co2 levels, evaporation, and then light. That is the reason not to peek into a tub or tray before full consolidation, not because of the light but in the drop of the co2 level. If a tray or tub is fully colonized it will knot and pin without a drop in co2 but it will not be an even pinset, likewise an unconsolidated tray or tub will knot and pin if co2 drops. Evaporation is not possible without a co2 drop so thats number 3 on the list of triggers. Light is a distant 4th, as you can grow mush in the dark if you have the other 3 factors.
I have actually seen RR do that with a jar that had just a bit left in it, of course RR has done about everything possible. The bible is my all time favorite.on a completly off topic thing.
once after i spawned a wbs jar, there was a tiny little bit of colonized wbs left in the jar. like a quarter of a teaspoon any ways it fruited two tiny little shrooms. lol it was the smallest amount of substrate i've seen fruit.
Was gonna say I have seen much worse. I have a small tray that is setting pins right now that looks to be awesome, will post a pic tomorrow, when I expect it to be fully set.its not really bad pinset, but matured badly. tiny caps and long stems and what not.
not my pic jut one i saved so i'd remeber
