Aquarium heater in jug 'O water in a closed space = invitation too mold and/or other contaminates -even though you can't see them you are giving the microscopic nasties a place to call home or at least gravitate towards. Can you find a bit of a warmer space? On top of your refrigerator, on the floor next to a radiator or the like? A hundred years ago when I started growing I tried the aquarium heater in the jug methods in different configurations and it just causes more problems than it solves.
Room temperature is plenty warm to grow; mid 60's F is on the cool side but room temp. is really all you need.

Live and learn my friend. Like you said, it's an experiment. Even the best scientists in the world learn mor from their failures than they do from their . It's the world we live in. But still, the way you are thinking is the way I was thinking when I first started growing and it doesn't work lol! Especially since you just mentioned bleach! Great minds tghink alike but so do demented ones! I'm just joking with you; don't take my post too seriously. I only wish you the best of luck with your project Peace yo...

Everything will be peachy I'm sure of that. Learn from everything. A tad of bleach in la aqua, no problem. Cracked lid and it self regulates 80f

80 degrees is too hot! Mucho warm = bacteria just right = 
just right for colonization = 80F or under. (your substrate). If your tub is 80F, your substrate is several degrees higher. N.G. I luv ya.

M8 bacteria isn't an issue cause I do things right. Also I actually put it to 84f because room temp is 62f
Heats going to dissipate out so I gotta compensate. Contams are an issue that's solved with agar and test jars. I'm a bad boy no?

OMG amigo . I was hoping... Aw fuck... How many years of college do you have? I love this website. This ain't just some drug website where blah blah blah is part of the game. Some people who chime in actually have careers that involve microbiology and (believe me) some very very cool stuff. But U know better I guess?
I love you man, you are at least a man with conviction -where I live there are many pussies. Keep rockin', but learning to LISTEN is always a good thing.

Whatever you do, always keep in mind that the mushroom substrate is ALWAYS going to be a few degrees warmer than the surrounding air. And 2- the hotter you incubate the more it favors contams.

Looks like it’ll work.
Basically the same as a jar of hot water in a cooler Method, only this keeps the jar perpetually warm.
If it’s in the mid 60s in the room then an 82 degree jar of water should keep that tote in the right range, don’t see any reason it would cause problems.

Sooooo guys, I had it on over night and I come check temp's right. So I had it on 83f guess what. Heat disperses out and average temp inside is 71f. NOT HIGH ENOUGH PARA MI. I now set the heater higher to 87. If that maintains 73f I gotta out this bad boy to Max temp. Or wrap it in a towel to maintain a higher temp in side. I'll be dialing this thing in for a day or two I feel. No condensation on the lid. So far nicer temps

If you put a couple drops of bleach in the liquid container it will keep stuff from growing. Or salt that does just as well. I used to use a shoe box filled about 3/4 full with h20 and an aquarium heater, but my old apartment was cold like 40°f when it got really cold outside.

Thanks brus, I notice some wall condensation. See I can worry but also the jars have contam barriers and they aren't contamed themselves. I mean mildew potentially, maybe some green boy tricho. But I doubt it you know? Last night 55f out in was 59-61. Brrrrrr. But it's maintaind 71 through that. Neeeeeeet and feels good. I am aiming for 77-80

75 is more than warm enough mate. The sub is a couple degrees higher anyhow so getting it up to 77-80 the subs will be 80 to 83 about. And imo thats to warm never had good luck over 75f.

I'm really trying to average 75-77
Is closing the lid a bad idea? The air inside cools down fast cause RT is 62f
The things set too Max and mi tote is bleeding heat too fast. My issue is insulation I realize.
Thinking about putting incubator in another tote just for shits and insulation.

Also a large mycelial mass produces nice heat yes, colonizing bags/jars don't really until a larger mass is achieved.
There is a tray in it, once that starts making its own which it already kind of is but sits at 69f I'll take it out, cause then hes breathing hard. Will fully colonized subs fruit at 63-65f? Humidity is no concern.

I have a heat lamp set up in a cabinet that I put makeshift weatherstripping in. I have the heat lamp set up to kick on if temp falls below 22C and turns off if it hits 24C.
Is using heated water preferable? Seems like that's what most people are doing.

TBH your method is more preferable. I'm working with the aquarium heater rn

Yeah I’ve been fruiting in low 60s for months. Takes a couple extra days but you get some solid stems.
At first I was doing everything in low 60s but the jars slowed down a lot so I had to heat them a little. I think the coir insulates enough to keep the myc going at a decent pace. Once they’re recovered from the spawn the difference in speed from lower temps is negligible.
Plus it stalls contams.

Word, so that's what I'm doing. Using incubator to increase temp during colonization. Once colonized spawn to sub 1:2-1:3 it should recover fast.
Awesome t know fruiting is good in 60s
Colonization is a no go at 60s

Danke, my jankulation strat with the banquet is proving successful. Dialed back the thing t 83f and already it's holding better.
Jankulation = insulation

contams are not an issue with incubators it's just those cheap ideas that bite people in the ass. so sticking a heat at under your jars= bad idea, great way to dry grain. tub in tub= great system for those who want stable temps. what you have= a warm jar of liquid that just puts out a temp fluctuation, not gonna be consistent. pour the water in a tub, put your heater at about 75-78 max. put another tub the same size over this, put your jars in, the aquarium heater has a built in thermostats and will keep the water at a steady temp which heats your tub nice and evenly.
--------------------
  It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn I'm tired do me a favor

With the insulation it holds 72f still.
I have to make the jar sealedish instead of open. So far im still dialing it in.
I want the jar of water to leak out heat and hold 77-79
It'll work I have to tinker tho
But hey beats 62f

Jar rigged closed, now maintaining 75 so far. Still being dialed. Heater set Max may have to bring down if it gets too hot
