The only difference it makes is in colonization times, obviously.
Mine colonize in 10 days or so @ 65F.

i have 4 tubs in basement closet space but they will be moved to the attic shortly. have kids and family over quit often so id rather them be in the attic if possible. my basement is finished and an entertainment area ppl are in it to much for comfort. plus they have to be there for fruiting. the one tub that is there now is kida the experiment tub...

thought the grain promoted other growths and the top layer was more of a protective barrier. Never had a real issue before till now. ill try iit without for the last tub and see how it goes. back to the cold issue.... they are not going to fruit in those temps... if anything they will freeze....

The cold is not helping obviously. The solution would be to get the tubs out of your attic. You don't have any other place they could go 
Also in the future you should take hackers advice and stop with the top layer, its not doing anything but drying out and preventing full colonization. People have just been mixing it all up for a while now.

been an extremely long grow. BUT this is a pic from a week ago. dried out to 3 1/2 oz just dunked and put back into fruiting.

this is from today. not to bad.

lost 2 tubs from the experimental attic set up. did not work plain and simple. tubs are back in the closet covered with lots of junk during the day and light/ computer fan at night. still have another tub that i just mixed up a few days ago.

my friend just moved into an older apt, 3rd floor with an attic as the 4th, not meant for living just storage, so its pretty beat up and unisulated, visible mold in many places, as well as god knows what kind of shit from the years and years of former tenants. he wanted me to set up a tub up there, and i said no because of all the mold. is that where ur attic thing went wrong, or was it something else?

It was the cold. I tried everything I could think of to warm them. Just didn't work out.
I grew under an addition on a house. Had signs of mold and a dirt floor. Growing nightmare ud think. I lined the entire room with plastic used by painters. Only lost a few jars within 5 or 6 grows.
