Temps for fastest production
    #26809677 - 07/07/20 06:52 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

What have people found to be the ideal temperatures for fastest growth during each stage: spore germination, colonization, and fruiting?  I'd to prioritize speed, yield, and quality over reducing the risk of contamination.  First I'll be inoculating standard malt agar using a spore syringe, isolate an aggressive strain, use that strain to colonize millet bags, then use that to colonize coconut coir tubs.

Apparently 80 °F or 27 °C in non-retarded units is the maximum. But honestly dont bother, just wait a bit, anything except really cold in winter works as a reasonable temp. When it gets under maybe 15 °C i'd turn the heating on but this you would honestly do anyway in winter just for comfort except if youre trying to save money or the environment and leave heating off when youre gone in the day. But then again a friend told me that its actally worse for the environment to have to fully reheat the could room/walls etc, than just holding a temp constant, this has been tried and/or calculated etc.

Actually you're right.  It requires less energy to reheat than to hold a constant temperature.  We actually talked about this in my thermodynamics class.  Heat moves faster when there's a larger differential in temperature between the hot and cold body.  So if you stop heating your room, as the room cools, the rate at which heat leaves the room goes down.

You mean goes up, right?
But yeah interesting. Honestly still a little hard to believe that its neccesary to keep the house heated for noone when Im not there for 10h a day but Ok I will have to accept the science :laugh:

Yep, to summarize, it takes more energy to keep the room heated for the whole day.  And less energy is required if you let it cool when you're gone, then heat it back up when you get back.

80F ambient is high as u wanna go. If u go any higher, u risk infections to your grow. U dont want that....

im in the tropics.
with the air conditioner on its often more than 30c in the lab.
the reptile incubator i have , in my case is cooling it to 30C half the year.
it adjusts from like 34F degrees to 140F
ive run the thing at 28C, and it seemed a bit sluggish for the strains i use (albinos) but seems about the same with others including pans and mexicanas.
i run about a 5% contam rate year round.

No, the rate of heat leaving goes down as the room temperature approaches the lower temperature outside.

Centigrade isn't just as arbitrary because it's based on a round number?

It's equally arbitrary but far more functional/ergonomic/easy-to-use, which is the point.
