I like doing my mushroom inoculations at night I've already bought a green light bulb so I can see but I need a constant flame running to flame sterilize my supplies. Does one candle along with a green light bulb emit enough lumens to interrupt the dark period? The moon puts out lumens.. how much is too much?

Although I can't say it for certain, I would say no. Candlelight, just one at least, shouldn't hurt anything.

1. Why do you inoculate at night?
2. Why can't you inoculate in a room that you aren't growing herb in? I don't think the candle will cause a problem, and if you don't shine the green light at the plants, maybe use some sort of reflector to direct the light at your work area.

It's the only room I can do either at the moment. The plants are growing in a room made of mylar but the very top is a little open.. it should add a little extra protection. |

I would just do the inoculations when the lights are on for the plants honestly,it would suck to take that chance and screw up your cycle.

the basic rule of thumb is that the plant can withstand the lumen's of the moon when it is full, without reverting your plant back into the vegatative stage,so as long as your green light/candle doesn't exceed that then everything should be just fine....hope that made sence oh hope it helped too.... peace |
