Hard time maintaining favorable temp's

3 diff cubes growing so slowly.
Night temp's around 58-60 Day temp's indoor 60-68
All I have access to is tubs and heating water to put in bottles inside a tub with the things colonizing.
But how hot do I get the water to maintain 70-75f inside the tote, considering that heat will disperse out and the water will have to be replaced.
Was thinking I should put 130f water in bottles put em inside and put lid on crudely and blanket the tote.
Thoughts on thermodynamics? I don't know the maths.

Is there no hope of get a very cheap small space heater?
My room fluctuates somewhere between 65 and 75.
Placing them high in the room will also slightly increase tempature.

Space heater ftw
I use an infrared one that has a built in thermostat so it maintains the temps well

If I was you I'd just wait it out with those temps until I had $20 to spare on a space heater. I've grown in those temps before, annoying but not the end of the world.
Hope you find a solution.

I got the 20$ not the location to buy. I mean I could run an electric heater but that's expensive

I used a space heater more for My own comfort than that of the mycelium. Then I switched to an aquarium heater placed inside a one gallon jug filled with water as a heat source inside a large opaque tote box. Now that it is not as cold I use a 60 watt CF bulb inside the tote and the temps are around 78 degrees for colonization . Just make sure the bulb is not shining directly into your trays it can dry them out. These are shoeboxes I use .

I recommend a small electric radiator.
At the very least, put your jars in a box with a blanket over it. Mycelium generates their own heat, no need for a powered incubator.

I'm getting a controlled temp mat. It'll maintain 73f which is the solution to my problems.

aquarium heaters have built in thermostats so the water stays at a constant temp
