Light heat source for brf jars?
    #22062494 - 08/08/15 12:21 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

I have 6 BRF jars and a light about a foot away to keep the temp. up. Is this a good idea or will this cause pinning before 100%? I'm a noob so wanted to ask you guys.

The light is a 13w by the way.

That is completely unnecessary. Just wasting electricity really:shrug:

So it won't speed up the process or anything?

You want your jars around 72-74F for good growth and the lightbulb is unnecessary. Higher temps can increase risk of contam. You don't need a light source - light is not the main trigger for pinning; increase in FAE, evaporation are the real triggers, to the best of my knowledge. Also, mycelium will continue to branch out and colonize to the edge of the substrate before fruiting usually.

If your ambient temps are too cold, try putting them in the cabinet above your fridge.

Hate to burst your bubble but 90% of this hobby is waiting.

You're in for a long ride if you're already trying to speed things up.

No I can wait, just didn't know so wanted to ask. The right Temp was what I really wanted. Then thought I would ask about it speeding the jars up.
It's been 5 days and I already can see growth and no contams that I can see. I think it's going good for a nooby. From reading post on here I gather it should be 100% in 3-5 weeks. I can wait.
