Tips on temp control for PF Tek setup?
    #19026751 - 10/24/13 04:46 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

A wise man once told me to never heat the chamber, heat the room. However, I try not to use my thermostat do to a tight budget and also I don't want any of my other rooms' temperatures adjusted.

How should I go about controlling the temperature for my P. Cubensis? Would a small box heater be too much if placed on the other side of the room? The temp in my house varies from high 60s to low 70s.

I know they will still probably grow in this range but I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to improve the conditions of my grow.

I've read of others doing this. Furthermore it abides by the principle of "heat the room and never the chamber", so I say go for it, if you want. I'd definitely have it on its lowest setting.

Edit: As for whether it is worth doing if you are already high 60's/low 70's...I'm not sure. If you're comfortable in the room, you might want to leave the temperature as is. Good luck!

Yea, I have major heating issues, shits always breaking. ive tried many things, and so far, with a little fan heater thing, it works obviously, but keep it kind of far away, like heat the other side of the room or something, because these things have caused another issue, humidity drops with them, right now im not using it, but I was going to get a water boiler thing, electric one for tea or whatever, and just boil water with it open throughout the day whole the heater is on, hooked up to timers and stuff. no idea if itl work, don't need to anymore, but an idea. got a humidifier to put near the fan, I don't think those things do so much.

Edit. Reason being, I have a VERY small space where all of this is going down, just keeping wet perlite in there and spraying will not cut it while the heater is on, if only I could get radiant floor heating, thatd be king.

If your chamber is small enough or there's enough mycelium inside, you might be able to get away with just finding a way to insulate it, as the mycelium might produce enough heat on its own to get you those few extra degrees.

Insulation does not sound too good for FAE.

You shouldn't need to cover the airways for it to be effective.
