Temperature fluctuation during incubation?
    #18713730 - 08/16/13 09:24 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Hi all,

I am just testing out some different ideas for an incubator (I am using BRF-verm cakes by the way).

Right now I have an old mini fridge that doesn't work, and I am thinking of placing my inoculated jars inside a box in the fridge. This seals is from external light and keeps the temperature warm inside. I plan on using a small air heater to warm up the air.

Problem is - I can heat it up to around 25 deg C within 4 minutes, but left overnight (8 hours) it returns back to room temperature (around 18 deg C).

My question is: is this kind of fluctuation acceptable? It will happen twice a day (overnight and while I work) before I can heat it up again. I know it will slow growth but could it cause other issues?

Thank you so much!

Thanks. I have read that incubation isn't really necessary. I think I will just end up keeping them in a dark closet and putting the heater on whenever I have the chance just so it doesn't dip below 20C.
