temperature in my room
    #6969667 - 05/26/07 01:29 PM (16 years, 10 months ago)

im starting to grow shrooms for the first time, i have all my stuff ready, im just waiting for my spores to arrive. :smile:

since summer is creeping in, the temperature in my room can get in excess of 30C (86F) in the daytime. what im wondering is if thats too hot for the shrooms to grow or if i should be worried about the temperature at all?

thanks

i would try to blow a fan on em or something. they'll colonize, for sure. but above 82 is a breeding ground for contams. i wouldnt worry too much about it though since it's not ALWAYS at 86

Keep in mind too, that your inoculated substance will cause its own heat by colonization. About 80F ambient isn't bad to shoot for. If it's at all possible, I'd start using the A/C, or acquire a unit. Otherwise...it'll be an interesting project but I'd be expecting unhappy results.

put them in a dark closet and leave only a crack open. In that closet put a bowl or something with some wet perlite.

The evaporating water should lower the temp in the closet a few degrees.

Could always chuck a big frozen water bottle in your FC too if you worried.

Yeah, that should drop the temp a few degrees at least I would imagine.

Actually, I remember reading a post about someone who tried this once. Apparently a few people have tried it and it reduces the humidity in the chamber quite a bit. Basically, all of the water vapor becomes condensation on the surface of the bottle because of the temperature difference. Seems like everyone who tried it ended up regretting it.

hmm, well I have a crappy A/C in my room so I'll throw that on if it gets too hot. I'll give the idea with the closet and wet perlite a go too.

thanks guys
