Heat pad incubation yes or no?
    #23750852 - 10/19/16 12:09 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Ok so my first time growing was approximately 9 years ago. I only had a book to go by, and managed to get some good (mini-mono tubs) to give nice yields. I had to take a break from the hobby for a while, until about a month ago. I have been reading all over the forum and find mixed results. What I did/learned years ago, based on old info, was to "incubate" my jars during cooler times of the year. Now I find info that says incubation is not need or a waste while some people say to do it. Heat pads also have a mixed review. What I have is a heat mat for horticulture. One of those that's about 20 inch by 10 inch that you use under seedlings to help them root faster. It gets to a MAX of 85F, usually more about 80F than 85F. What are the opinions of our long time growers.

Use or don't use?
If used do I put jars straight on it or raise them above and use it to raise ambient temp?

Please and thanks guys.

If its above 60 degrees your jars will be fine. Anything like 80 degrees gets you no more then a 5% increase in growth but adds contam risk. Plus jars produce small amount of heat of there own.

Thanks much. Unfortunately for me I have been out of the loop for like 9 years now and this field has advanced a lot in tek, older books say to do it, and well got to learn the new ways.
