colonization question
    #18899792 - 09/27/13 05:52 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Hey guys. I'm running my first grow here and have my containers (BRF cakes) colonizing. The only problem is that we're just coming out of winter here, so it's pretty chilly and the cakes are taking ages to colonize. So, do you think it would be fine to sit the containers on a little heat pad. It's just a seed germination pad that raises the temp by 10 degrees curlicues? Thoughts?

Don't sit them on a heating pad you'll cook the bottoms of the jars. If you can't maintain temps of atleast 68 degrees make one of these https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/17954773#17954773

You could try insulating them like this


It should raise the temperature in the jar some once a significant amount of mycelium is growing. Just have to make sure it isn't blocking gas exchange.
