Heating a SGFC with an aquarium heater / heat bomb ?
    #26844394 - 07/25/20 10:44 AM (3 years, 6 months ago)

Hi ,

Hope someone can help me out here.

My first PF Tek. Its a micro Tek just 3 little BRF cakes.Please don't laugh:)

One seems to have bacterial contamination. One is in its consolidation week. Another is doing well but needs another week or two until fully colonized.

So my thoughts are on the SGFC.

The biggest issue for me seems to be temps. My Jars showed little to no activity for weeks until against all advice I put them in a TIT incubator and at 25C/77F and they took off.

So I reckon my rooms are too cold for the SGFC too so I plan on putting an aquarium heater in a bottle of water into a corner in the SGFC to keep the SGFC Temps close to what most warmer countries consider room temps. my room temps hover around 18C/64F daytime but can drop to 10C/50F at night.

Is this such a bad idea ? A space heater is not economical for such a small grow and I hear the heating mats below dry out the perlite. Any ideas from the more experienced are appreciated.

I recommend a electric oil radiator heater instead of an aquarium heater. They are silent and provide gentle heat.

Also bacterial contamination typically happens if you make your substrate too wet. Try make a slightly drier mixture for your next jars.

Any suggesting/links/content for using SGFC without electricity. For example, options for humidifier. New here and not sure how to start my own post/thread.
