So I started my first (technically second, but we don't talk about the first one) jars have been knocked up. I used some pre-sterilized I bought online (only 4 cause I had doubts after I got them) and some quart jars filled with WBS. Everything recently started showing growth. There's small clusters of mycellium in each of them in various places.
However, I knocked em up on the 19th so they aren't going very fast. My room is about 70, sometimes below.
Question:
Should I build an incubator since my room is so cold? I can't turn up the heat because my roommates always turn it down (plus I like it cold). I have 2 aquarium heaters (100W, one is adjustable). I tried TiT but it didn't work out for reasons unknown to me. Do I have other options without buying a heating pad? I'd like to use these heaters if possible, but I will buy something if absolutely necessary.

No. 10 days and you see growth means temps are fine.

yeah, def not.
I don't incubate unless temps drop below 60.

Sweet thanks. Prolly should have asked this as well, but what about LC's? I'm starting to see pretty decent growth now in the ones I made. Is the time delay because the spores need to germinate? Or is it something else?
And if so, when I use the LC's to knock up some more jars, I should see growth in a few days compared to around 10 right?

Yes spores generally take a lot longer. A weak lc can take a long time also tho.
