my house is all ready in the 50s.
i figure it would help the jars colonize then help warm a monotub during this cold (dry) winter i'm about to have -- allowing it to maintain better humidity.
thoughts?

id get a space heater. the radiator type not the kind that blasts hot air. that way you can heat up your whole grow room instead of one monotub.

I did this for my jars and they all but one got contam'd. I did alot of stuff wrong, like leaving those jars in a tub with the lid on and the heating pad underneath. I was very sterile and PC'd 70-80mins. I'm sure I introduced the mold through innoc procedure, but I bet that the direct heat underneath in addition to the enclosed environment helped the contam grow quick. Not positive though. Would like to hear more on this as I'm still curious if its better than it being cold.. (i live up north by the canadian border and it stays cool in the home most of the time)

Using a heating pad is just asking for disaster, they are not precise, they can fail and catch fire (a reason many of them only heat for a specific period of time now). A good place to put them is above the refrigerator in an box with no cover. The refrigerator is always running (unless power failure of course, like I experienced last night, stupid storm, anyway) and is usually warmer than other places in your house, just be sure to measure the temperature up there and if it is greater than 80 degrees F, then try another method.
