Doing everything at 65 degrees F to minimize contams

Would that work?

And would it be useful, doing spawning and fruiting at 65 degrees F?

I've heard that fruiting at lower temps can take longer, makes sense. Also heard lower temp fruiting might make for slightly stronger yields.

No, that'll just slow everything down including the myc. You want around 68-75f for both spawn and tubs. The way you minimize contams is through good sterile technique and a good eye for clean spawn. Practice practice practice

It would prob give the mycelium an edge but yeah, I’d focus on clean spawn.

I started growing last fall so this is my first summer and literally as soon as the weather warmed up I had 5x the contaminations. It’s annoying but good because it shows me where the flaws in my sterile technique are.

Totally, same here. More spores in the air to contam a sick or recently harvested tub, I think. I get trich in summer if I mist a tub too soon after harvest.

You're welcome Nektar! Also keep in mind a fully colonized tub will be about 3-5f warmer inside than the room because they give off their own heat. Once you're in the low 80's conditions start to favor mold. I try to keep my grow room at 70-73f to get the fruits to develop a little slower, it makes them denser. Can't confirm if it increases yields, per se but imo it increases overall appearance.
