Heating?
    #28004145 - 10/18/22 03:47 AM (2 years, 2 months ago)

Hi,
unfortunately the heating in our house broke and it wont be fixed for a while.
While I can cope with radiators I have toswitch them off when not at home dze to electricity costs and danger of causing a fire.
Unfortunately my mushrooms slow down / stop growing.
I have a usb heatmat which is connected to a timer where I put a growbag on and switched 15 mins on 15 mins off etc.
I was wondering if there is an option toheat the monotubs as well.
The heating mats dont seem to come in sizes that would fit to the bottom of the tubs from the outside and getting mats for all tubs would get pricey.
Does anyone know a good alternative or a place where the mats can be bought for a reasonable price?

I would look into a space heater. Mats can overheat/dry your substrate out. Possibly killing your mycelium or giving bacteria a leg up.

I think it is roughly about 17 degrees celsius during the day when I am at work.

That’s not terribly low (17C=62.6F). It might make it grow a bit slower, but I’m not sure it would be worth trying to change. I could be mistaken, though.

More importantly, a heat mat is just going to dry out your substrate. Much better for your grows for them to be at a slightly below-optimal temp than to take all the moisture out of them.

Thanks for your answers. The heating will be fixed next month. Unfortunately it is growing very very slow.
