Heating the Shotgun Fruiting Chamber
    #27047182 - 11/19/20 11:23 AM (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hi everyone,
well first off let’s say that I’ve never cultivated mushroom from spores, I just bought 3/4 already-colonized kits with good results, and now I want to improve my hobby. I decided to go with the PF tek since I’m an abecedarian and since the shrooms are just for my personal use, so I don’t need big quantities of them and the total amount obtainable from the PF tek is more than enough. But I have some question about heating the SGFC. As SGFC I’m going to use a 23.5X15.5X13.5 inch plastic box properly modified. Now, I’m going to star my cultivation towards mid December, so I need to properly heat the cakes in order to let the mycelium colonize them and to let them bear fruits, but how? I’ve read that a good solution may be insert inside the box a glass jar with a fish tank heater, is it right? Where I live right now there are about 18 degrees celsius and at december the seasonal average temperature is between 12-15 degrees but i have no idea about the humidity. I would be glad If someone would explain me some things and help me. Big thanks in advance.

I’m glad you’re moving on from kits! Welcome to spores!
The first thing I will say as some unsolicited advice, just drop that fruiting chamber. It’s preference but it seems a fair amount of beginners do BRF to bulk (myself included).
But if you really wanna do that SGFC, get a space heater! A nice powerful one in a small room and that thing will be lovely for your mushies even with the cold temps you have...
I don’t think there’s any need for fish tank modification and shit.
This gets way easier though if you just do some shoebox tek with coir and leave them at 75 degrees and you’re practically done until harvest :smile:
But don’t overthink it, just heat that room so you are comfortable. Your mushies will be too.
Oh yeah, the perlite in your SGFC takes care of humidity.
Cheers!
