Substrate Thermometer where can I get?
    #18816204 - 09/08/13 06:17 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Hey guys, So I was reading through Damions Coir Tek and it said that the temperature of the coir/verm mix needs to be 80-90 degrees before adding the spawn.

Can somebody send me a link or give me the exact name of a thermometer that would be good for measuring the temperature of the coir/verm for this tek?

Thanks

Just wait until the coir cools down to room temperature.

Usually about 4-6 hours after you mix it.

No need for a thermometer for this.

You don't need a thermometer. Just let it be cool to the touch.

But any thermometer will do.

Not necessary at all.
Ive spawned to my coir\verm\straw sub when temps have been 70-75. Right now my room is 64 and myc is running nicely.

But if your still inclined to get one.. have a look at this

If you do want a good thermometer though...  I have bought a few cheap metal ones and two Taylor 1470 digitals and both of my Taylor 1470 digitals shows 97-98F when I stick it under my tongue and 212F with boiling water.  They are spot on!  It also comes with a temp alarm on it. 

I saw it at Target today, ebay is cheapest, & there is amazon.  But you can get a cheaper one that will do, or in your case do without, but for peace of mind for spot on temps and alarm I do recommend.


--------------------
A bit expensive but the largest clear tote I've found.  Great if you want a large SGFC that can easily do both trays and cakes.  If you decide to go all out on a SGFC, be sure to get coarse perlite.  It keeps it cleaner and allows better FAE and humidity.
