Shoebox tek spawn run
    #26410921 - 01/01/20 01:09 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

Hey everyone! I’ve been following a couple shoebox teks, and I’m excited to get started today with my brf jars!
Everything seems pretty simple and straight forward, my question is about the colonization and spawn run part...
My conditions in the room are 65f... I understand it needs to be about 75 during spawning period before fruiting. Any options besides a space heater for keeping them up? Can I place them in a du b tub with the water heater as if my brf jars were in? Or is that bad for the bulk substrate?
Thanks you guys!

The temp is fine, things will just take a little longer. You need patience in this hobby as it is, that will be a good intro to patience :lol: You can definitely use the space heater if you want, but just be aware your electric bill might jump. Making the spawn/fruiting area as small as possible will cut that down.

I use those temps and it really doesn’t seem to slow down anything but the colonization of the grain jar. Once it’s spawned to the shoebox it’s normal.

Also with shoeboxes if you throw a top layer of coir on and go straight go fruiting it works fine and saves a few days. Sometimes I’ll let it sit for 2-3 days then go to fruiting but there’s not much difference.

The electric bill thing is for real. I started running my tiny heater pretty much 24/7, just got my bill, and it seems to be costing about 50 a month. Definitely restructuring my room cuz of that.

If you’re worried about it a cooler or cardboard box that can hold the shoebox with jars of hot water will stay warm for a long time.
