Condensation?
    #21746450 - 05/31/15 09:34 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

First time cultivator here so be easy please :smile:

TLDR: Is a lot of condensation while incubating in a petri dish a problem or no?

On saturday I transferred spores into agar dishes & set them in my incubation chamber with a heat pad under it hooked to a timer. I used the hot oven method in a pretty clean kitchen, lysoled everything up & down, wore gloves, sterilized tools etc etc. My agar dishes were kept in a fridge for about 4 days prior to use so they were pretty cold. After the transfer was done & i moved them into the chamber I left them unattended for about 31hrs. Temp when I left was 79.1F they are in my closet in a 10x10 room which is usually air-conditioned to about 65-70F, when I returned it was 86.9F with the air conditioner off and the condensation in the dishes is incredible, there is even a puddle on the agar around the sides. So my question: Is this a problem? I know a little condensation is normal but this is a lot to me, I will provide a picture below.



Thank you

yea, never use a heating pad ever especially for petri dishes. 62F would be better than the alternative of roasting them on a pad.

I don't know too much about agar :lol: but

I would skip the heating pad

Get them off the heating pad and onto a shelf ASAP.....heating pads are useless in this hobby....
