Its too warm during the day here to turn my heat on yet. But the mornings and night are pretty cold. So im wanting to make a heat bomb from an old fish tank heater I have.
Do you guys think this will Melt through the jug?

It wont melt. Just make the element stay submerged.
Watch out for extra vectors. and temp changes.
Kind of silly to use one of these though. do the jars float? If you had a fish tank they could float like lilly pads.

If it's above 50 at night you don't need a heat bomb.

Okay then if you wear a parka indoors then you will need to help the mushies. Personally I find that a furnace helps keep the temps above freezing

A PE print? That's a rare thing. It's either 10 years old, from genetics from 10 years ago, or PE6.

this was priceless. 30-50F is t-shirt weather when you're in the upswing of a Canadian winter I do think that pasty here knows the most about parka weather my friend . I really wouldn't sweat too much about the temps. If you don't have to wear a jacket inside, your jars are just fine. Last winter I colonized and fruited in ~60-68F just dandy

It got down to 40f last night, that's like 4.5c or so. Although day time was mid 70's.It's like this until mid october here in the NE US. I did however shut the window in my grow room where I set my terrarium . Mushies haven't seem bothered by it in the least and I'm in the middle of a flush.

Yea Ive grown mushrooms on my porch where it gets quite chilly at night, they do well- a bit slow but certainly a lot denser
For colonization however, temps below 60 certainly slow things down to a halt

Because that requires more tubs although I considered it. I found a post from 9 years ago Road Kill was describing how too do it. But I mean at what point does a mycologist say "enough tubs and enough jars" My home is full of them! Even jars I Probably wont ever use! I got some free pint wide mouths today because one was broke in the pack at work. But their jars, I cant just say no.

Cambodians put out a lot of heat when colonizing. Never hurts to have some going.
Also I would use a glass jar, like a pickle jar or something for the heat bomb. I wouldn't be able to leave a heater in a plastic bottle on when I left my house but I'm all about being safe.
Like others have said, keeping your jars warm enough shouldn't be a problem. Once jars take off the heat they produce on there own plays well to keep them warm. Hell you could probably just put them in a cheap styrofoam cooler and the heat they exert colonizing should be plenty to keep them in the rapid growth temp range.

I think this is sound advice. I am nervous for this batch since I'm really really wanting pe swabs so I'm over complicating things. I never do heat bombs I just knock up and leave em sit usually. It has been making me anxious leaving the house with the water bomb honestly.
