Featured Review
In part 2 of this series, Lee and Brian of Moto Pizza in Seattle, WA focus on the lighting aspect of mushroom growing and benefits of using the proper lighting spectrum for the fruiting stage of mushroom growth.
Bypass the Hassle
This ballast bypass LED grow lamp works with existing T5 fluorescent light fixtures by bypassing the ballast and wiring the lamp holders (tombstones) to a single end. Without the need for a ballast, these universal voltage 120-277V lamps do not flicker, buzz or experience longevity issues. *Requires bypassing the ballast during installation. Requires non-shunted lamp holders (tombstones). Please refer to the T5 LED GROW LIGHT BYPASS BALLAST INSTRUCTIONS VIDEO below for detailed installation steps.
Sustainable Mushroom Lighting
