Room temps hit 88 degrees, I’m good right?
    #24902732 - 01/10/18 09:58 AM (7 years, 7 days ago)

I’m cultivating for my first time, in a closet in my basement with cooler than average room temps so I use a thermostat controlled space heater. Well I guess sometimes when power cycled my damn space heater bugs out and doesn’t shut off when hitting the holding temperature.

The closet appeared to be held at 88 degrees over night on my BRF jars. All the jars hit full visual colonization a day or two ago so they are currently consolidating.

I’m assuming I’m good but this is by first time growing and just want to be sure, or if I can expect any side effects from this. I’ve heard contamination chances are higher at temps over 80, but all 12 of my 4 oz. made it to complete colonization no problem, so I think I did a decent job on keeping things sterile.

Thoughts? Thanks!

They should be ok.  Once the cakes are fully colonized they no longer have a metobolic rate and return to whatever the ambient temperature of the room is, so thermogenesis shouldn't be a problem given the density and mass of cakes not being very large.  Keep an eye on them.

Temperature doesn't cause contamination. Contaminants cause contamination.

Cubes grow just fine in places where the temperature regularly exceeds 85F but they also grow just as fast as they ever will in the mid 70s and that temperature also is less favorable to most contaminants.

You're absolutely fine.

High temeratures during colonization encourages the bloom of contamination and slows myce growth though.  With cakes, especially after colonization I agree that it will be ok.
