If you're going to be colonizing and fruiting in say a bedroom or any room that is like 10' x 10' or smaller and you live in the states I'd say go to home depot and pick up a $99 window banger.But you'd probably save even more money if you buy a an a/c that;s rated for rooms bigger then the room you'll be using,this way the compressor won't run as much,saving you money.

Optimum temperatures for both colonization and fruiting are anywhere between 70° and 80° Fahrenheit or what is usually referred to as room temperature (some like there homes cooler,and some cooler).But cubensis will grow in temperatures outside the optimal range too.They can be found growing in the wild here in central and south Florida pretty much year round.

Indoors,try not to let temps get below say 65° Fahrenheit or above the low 80's,this is especially crucial for colonization as the jars of colonizing substrate will begin to put off their own heat raising the internal temperature of the jar a few degrees,say 3°-5° F above ambient temps (bags can put off much more heat due to more substrate).

It is though that cooler temperatures produce smaller & meatier/denser fruits,and warmer temperature produce faster,bigger growth but can also produce fruits with hollow stems...this could also just be genetics too though

What's your temp swing and what would you say you average?
