Had a bunch that were ready so pulled and dried them. Came out to 7g dry. https:// https://
Had a bunch explode today and will harvesting more this weekend as well. Have a question though, have several that are all white. Thinking just genetics, but is there anything wrong with them and are they fine to eat? https:// May have to sample the goods this weekend and see how I did!

Wow, 7 grams dry, that's a winner on anyone's terms. Well done and keep doing.

What I don't quite understand is why people hate on Heating Mats this much. Is it because the fluctuation of temperature due to the poor temperature control or does it get too hot? I think some people don't take into consideration how cold it gets at some places. Not everyone lives in a well insulated house in the first world. Lived in both extremes so I kinda understand the thought process of getting a heating mat to stabilize temperature and optimize growth speed.
I have not experimented enough to say whats right or wrong tho. Just curious.

Our opinions are based on how many issues we have with people using certain methods.
Can heating mats, tub in tub, and other heating methods work and provide benefits? Sure. Are most people using them fostering bacterial growth by heating some parts of their grow unevenly and at higher temps. Yep.
Generally, newer growers want to do everything as easily as possible. Conceptually these heating methods do work, and are easy, so people use them. In reality these heating methods heat the bottom to a different temp than the top, usually up to temps that are better for bacteria than mycelium (80+°f). Also, bacteria/mycelium generate heat, increasing the temp even more.
So you might shoot an IR thermometer at the top of a thing being bottom heated, and be getting a different temp than you'd see if you could measure the temp at the very bottom.
Lastly, the usual reason behind a mat isn't that they're trying to keep something in a 50 degree environment at 75°. It's because they feel 60-65° isn't enough so they wanna heat it for quicker colonization. 60-65° is safe growing temps and not much slower than 70-75°. This means, for most people using heating mats, that it's unnecessary, only slightly beneficial, and carries a high risk.
It's like taking a shortcut down a grimey alley in a shitty part of town when a well lit path that is completely safe is available as well. The shortcut will get you there 20% quicker, but 50% of the time you die in that alley. Maybe just quit being impatient and go wit the sure shot. Sure to make the bodies drop...
-------------------- If you've never grown mushrooms before, here's how you start. First, follow the Updated PF Tek, put 4 holes in jar lids not 1, and use a water tub!
The next move is Shoebox Tek. After that you move onto grains, agar, monotubs. Agar is easy, just do it.
