Re: HELP! [Re: DAY.tripper]

Here's a cheap solution:

-cheap styrofoam box (u might have at home) US$ 10,00
-plastic bottle or plastic pot with lid - 2 liters capacity at least -  (u might have at home)
-aquarium thermostat/heater US$ 7,00
-cheap thermometer (u might have at home) US$ 5,00

Fill the bottle with water. Make a hole on the plastic lid of the bottle big enough to fit the aquarium thermostat/heater. Follow the instructions to calibrate the temperature, this part is the annoying part cause u have to babysit it using the thermometer to make sure the temperature is ok. Well, that's pretty much it, keep the box closed at all times to prevent heat loss. Good luck!

Here's a pic of mine:

Dont incubate anything you run the risk of overheating, increase risks of contams, and waste ur time. A couple days saved in colonization time isnt worth any of that.

:facepalm:

The only way you're going to get contams during incubation is if you screwed up the sterilization process, or your spores are contaminated.

Actually a at the least a small amount of bacteria is going to be introduced at some point due to the fact that all spores contain at least a small amount and people's procedures are generally less than perfect, a higher temp creates a more hospitable environment for this bacteria.
Also all contaminates by definition are from less than sterile procedure or contaminated spores so thank you for stating the obvious, the idea is to decrease the chances of something growing and overtaking the mycelium like giving bacteria or some other type of mold optimum growth conditions when it is not necessary or beneficial.

Hey no problem, don't mention it. :wink:

If you've done it wrong, incubator or not, you're going to have contams. Be clean, sterile, follow a procedure, and you'll be fine. :thumbup:

Yeah, I know, I stated the obvious again. :grin:
