So, to cultivate cubes its gotta be at least 74 degrees F. That is very hard for me to maintain as i am moving into winter i have no insulation in my house, heat just leaves like grandmas underpants. How i say, how do i trap heat in my cupboard or in the box i'm cultivating in, is their any tips or tricks anybody knows that could help me out?

There's no way to trap heat in your FC, I suppose you could insulate the closet or room you want to use but that is probably more work than you were looking to do. So that leaves you with having a constant heat source in your grow space.

I wouldnt use heating pads. If your room temp goes below low sixties then yea you might wanna either heat the room with a space heater or use a tub in tub incubator, using an aquarium heater with an adjustable thermostat, Id keep your jars right about 70.
As long as room temp doesnt drop below sixties you will be fine though.
The statement that you need to cultivate at at least 74 is misinformation.

You really need to give more specifics about your IC for us to give you specific advice. A reptile heating pad or seed germinating pad would work as well as an aquarium heater in a TiT. If that's too expensive you could try using a closet as an IC, put the jars in a cardboard box filled with styrofoam packing material or crumpled newspaper for insulation, use a light bulb for heat. Keep monitoring and adjust as needed. Good luck!

65-75f is fine for cubes in colonization. Fruit from 65-100+f Heating pads are bad.
