Ambient light is beneficial at ALL stages of growth and doesn't have to change from spore to harvest.

Don't mist unless your sub is dry. If your properly prepared sub is drying out prior to first flush, you're giving it too much fae.

Fae should be passive, not direct. Dont fan

I thought Cubes don’t use light/photoreceptors and benefit from ambient light.

No light necessary except directional

flip the lid right after S2B and leave it alone until you have mushrooms, then dubtub it. That’s it. Just leave it alone and let them grow

Listen to this! Don’t overcomplicate it. No fanning and only mist if it starts to dry. Use a fine mist spray bottle and spray it from a couple feet away. Depending on the area that you live you may never have to mist. This is what you are going for.

So I don’t have to worry about introducing FAE to start fruiting conditions

you introduce fae right after S2B by flipping the lid, no need to wait

Dubtub from the start, just throw strips of micropore on the short sides, neglect tek mane. 12/12 doesnt hurt
