Sounds good dude and yes no pooling. Best of luck hoping to see some dank pinsets soon

I'm about to start my first shoebox in a few days and the area I'm going to keep them ranges from 60-67f.

I know heating pads are a huge no no here but I figure if I'm just using it to heat the area and don't have my shoebox sitting on it it can't be that bad right?

... the closer you can be to 75° ambient temperature the better off you're going to be... but I do believe things will still grow in temperatures lower than 75 but 75 is optimal and what you should shoot for..:awethumb:




i think you're a little off on those temps

do not heat the fruiting chamber directly. you do not want the chamber to be warmer than the room it is in. if it's warmer you will get condensation. the condensation is all the moisture your mushrooms want, in places they cant use it.

generally heating mats lead to infected grows as the special warming effect they give correlates well to people posting pictures of failures.

temperatures of 65-80+ are great for fruiting temperatures of 65-75F are great for colonization. and temperatures of 68-72F are what I call optimal

Why not use a space heater? More efficient IMO :shrug:

68-72F is optimal for cubes.

I could use a space heater if need be but I figured I could just use the mat as I have it laying around and I think the area is kinda small to have a space heater and I'm afraid the hot air will dry it out to much and I'm going for as little fiddling with as possible

The room I fruit in hits around 82-83F lately by the afternoon. I've still been getting 2-4 flushes from every box. Maybe I would have better luck in the 68-72F range? Makes me wonder.

I found that my little heater in my grow closet would dry out my subs alot faster, I stopped using it and my room still stays 72-75°

Space heaters are also the number 2 cause of house fires

Just means you might have slower colonization times, not that you can’t grow. Ask our friends in Canada what their temps are

I’m not sure if I’m misting too much or not enough. The sub looks a little dry to me but it looks like a few pins a ready to abort. AA+  Starting seeing pins about 5 days ago. Lids are set loosely on top. I’ve been misting twice a day for probably 3 days.

At a glance, it looks like sub is a bit dry, but your pins are wonderful. Just observe surface when judging a mist. Get some beads of water on that shit. No pooling.

I got one shoebox with a bit of pooling in areas but the rest looks like it could use a misting but I don't want to add to the pools? Just wait for the pools to evap? Try to mist around the pools? (:shrug:)

I currently just have it sitting out for a lot more fae

I want a uniform surface but all that seems possible is to wait for the pools to recede and begin misting again but looking for any input or options

Ok... Got some side pinning ... is this a bad thing or whatever? I'm paying close attention to my Surface moisture conditions and have been misting as needed. Here's some before and after pics from this morning when I woke up..
