newbie cultivation question
    #23962319 - 12/28/16 09:59 AM (7 years, 1 month ago)

hello everyone, i just have some questions. i have observed some slowed mycelium growth. I had a five day germination time on my z-strain, then another 5-6 days until (about) half colonization. now it seems things have paused, is this normal? i had a heating pad placed about an inch under the incubator, after some research i decided to remove it (to avoid moisture loss) could this have caused slowed growth?

Well you didnt explain temp's
Temperature above 78F does speed up colonization times but is looked down upon for other reasons mainly increased contam rate.
So is that what happened you had it above 78 then stopped incubating and it slowed down?  This would be expected...

i had the incubator at a pretty constant 80f, the ambient air temp in the space is 74f. was removing the heating pad a bad move?

I would say that slowed it down a little that wouldnt stall the growth tho.  Take a permanent marker and draw around the growth and see in a day or 2 if you have growth or not

I'd leave the heating pad out.  74° is warm enough.  There is no reason to increase the chances of contamination.
