introducing the 'heatbomb' 7

hey shroomerites!
as ive recently had to construct a new inc and disliked a tit (since i simply dont need such a huge thing) i came about this nice idea for small scale incubator heating and though of sharing it with the shroomerites!
introducing the heatbomb:

the heatbomb itself is a completely maintenance free heating system, designed for small sized incubators - THE choice for ppl who do not want to worry about evaporation of water or possible contams breeding in the wet air inside the incubator if the used to have a fishtank heater in a open water jar or alike.
materials needed: an aquarium heater a plastic bottle that u can fit ut heater inside silicone gel duct tape some boiled (distilled/germ free) water
how to assemble the heatbomb: 1.) its up to u to find one heater and a plastic bottle that takes the heater inside without leaving too much space on the sides.
2.) once u got ur bottle and heater ready, wash off all the paper lables that might stick on it and give the inside of the bottle a nice hot water wash since it cant be bad to kill all the germs u may be able to kill.
3.) next, boil some water or take ur distilled water and fill the bottle up to the brim.
4.) now, insert ur heater, it will cause the water inside the bottle to splash over since the mass of the heater forces it to, but its allright since that way u dont leave any possible air inside (i, sloppily still did though )
5.) next, wipe the area around the top of the bottle dry and start to apply silicone gel to where the heater enters the bottle, just apply a lot of it, u want to have a good and waterproof seal.
6.) let this sit for a day to allow it to dry fully (silicone takes some time)
7.) now, apply duct tape over the top of the bottle and the heater, covering the whole silicone seal as an extra 'anti leakage' precaution.
8.) wipe down the heatbomb with rubbing alcohol to sterilize it.
well, taht's it, there u got ut very own heatbomb, ready to use 
the jars pictured were entirely incubated in the heatbombed incubator and reached full colonisation within 10 days, its straight rye.
sure, it can never ever beat a proper TiT but for ppl who just need small scale spawn its THE choice since it works like a charm and heats up ur inc pretty fast 
here some more pics for u, just for kicks:
typical heatbomb setup:

different view of heatbomb setup:

i hope some of u find this handy, i sure love it! and btw, im proud to contribute my first 'tek'  peace ohm

i can see that working out nicely, i like it becuase unlike the tit and the pickle jar tek you can simply lay it on its side and use low containers for you incubators, so it would be possible to use a lets say 6-8 inch tall container just tall enough for the jars and then it would be possible to slide under the bed and save that precious closet space for large fruiting setups. nice idea.

That's an awesome idea! The only thing I would worry about is the water expansion from heating... could cause some leaks if your silicone job isn't up to snuff. Maybe turn the heater on and let it warm up to temperature before sealing it up?

>The only thing I would worry about is the water expansion from heating. Water hardly expands if heated from 70?F to 85?F. And if you are really worried about this, simply squeeze some water(a few cc) out of the bottle before sealing.

i would also think that a larger bottle would radiate more heat, perhaps saving a little energy, if you're a hippy about that stuff like me 
a word of caution though folks, those heaters can melt through plastic, BE CAREFUL. i'd say that a glass bottle would be better.
nice idea ohm!

Glass bottle, great idea, Xistenz.
Yeah, this truley is a life saver to teenagers like me (17), I will soon have a fruiting chamber, complete with heat bomb underneath my bed.

Where can you buy a glass bottle nowadays? Foaf went looking for one to make something like this, but every single container he found at the grocery store, carrying any kind of liquid, were all plastic.

i'm positive that i could find a glass bottle in my local grocery store.
also, from another thread, plastics with a number 5 on the bottom (inside the recycle symbol) have the highest melting point. try finding one of those, i know juice containers are nice and thick sometimes too.

wow. this is a great setup. i needed a incubator for the small children running around my house earlier this year so i bought the two tubs and heater... but having a tub of water in my room wasn't working out. going to try this one soon.

Actually, silicon conducts heat pretty well. Not as good as metal, but better than plastic

How about beer bottles? Also, I know milk sometimes comes in glass bottles. Mostly organic brands of milk do this.

Beer bottles wouldn't work unless you could find a wide mouth one... heater won't fit in there.

Did you happen to notice colonization occuring closer to the heat source or was it even? The idea behind TiT is surround your jars with a heat source from an even angle. Ive also heard disclaimers about putting a heat source directly in with your jars such as a space heater. In your experience how was the colonization?

i indeed get faster colonisation in jars closer to the bomb. i am happy with it, it serves its purpose well.

hey!
first of all, im glad that some ppl are actually using this tek, furthermore, archiving good results using it ! 
concering all the chatter going on about a glass or a pvc bottle, ill quote anno's statement he gave on that topic.
Quote:
Well...
Glass has a thermal conductivity of ~ 1 W / m K.
PET( Polyethylene terephthalate, the material the plactic bottles here are made of) has a thermal conductivity of ~ 0.3 W / m K.
Taking into account that the wall of a glass bottle is much thicker, the end heating result will be roughly the same.
this tek was also designed to be run from PVC bottles and it works like a charm, NO NEED for glass bottles to make that clear. all this glas chatter may have distracted some ppl from actually building themself a heatbomb, believe me, i use the same pvc bottle i used when i initially constructed it, and it works supremely well! peace ohm

Do you have to keep space between the heat bomb and the jars so they don't dry out? or can you pack them all around it?

I have a TIT, without decent lids so humid is coming up from watertub and RH in incubation tub is rather high with waterdrops on "ceiling".
What I like about your method is that it is DRY.
BUT the advantage of a TIT is there is more heating volume, coming from all sides.
So me wanting a dry TIT me gonna watch for some tubs with decent LIDS on it!
For a small incubation setup your heatbomb must be very cool, only need one tub also. If one puts it in a isolated coolbox one should have a great incubator.

Too bad that idea doesnt work as well as everyone thinks it would. The jars in the middle get hot and the jars by the edge of the tub get cold. edit: now that i read the tek again it is noted that its only best for a small space, keyword, small. It does leave the incubator dry though. as said, this idea simply doesnt compare to a TiT, not really even close. Even if one wraps the hell out of the whole tub in blankets you will not get an even heat. Stick with the TiT, there's a reason it's called the best.

Thats why I said its maybe in a smaller well isolated environment when more even temperature can establish. But, it is like a poor mans tit.. :P (you only buy one tub)

well thats what it was written for, small, low scale incubation, believe me its the bomb!
just take a look at the provided pics, thats a small space and low scale incubator, all jars, regardless of being in the middle of the edge were done within a couple of days.

My cat made something similar, only he used a big glass jar which was formerly a candy dish. It was about 8 inches high, and had a diameter of about 6 inches It worked very well!

considering the heat conductivity, doesent it just mean that one will war up slower then the other? wont they ultimatly reach the same max temp after enuff time has passed?
whats the wattage of that heater?
does your heater have a notice in the manual that says it needs to stay verticle? mine does but im wondering since ive seen no1 else gie a crap about that...
comparted to a TIT, is it realy that different? seems to me like most of the effect comes from heating the air inside the container as opposed to direct radiation...
oh yeah hows about using hot glue instead of silicone?

as said, this is no replacement to a tit but meant for SMALL SCALE INCUBATION. it provides adequate incubation temps if you place it between 6 jahrs to each side, but that would be the top number id go with the heatbomb.
a tit will provide equal heat from 5 sides, unlike the heatbomb, and i just have to keep my heater submerged - inside the bottle this is the case all the time anyway.


it works awesome, oh thats a 75watt heater btw. peace ohm

this was used alot before the tek, although something new ive seen in this 'tek' is the use of a water bottle, seems to support more of the aquarium heater, with less water, sometimes people had to lean the heater to cover the whole heating-unit. very nice method overall though. -Victor

"Where can you buy a glass bottle nowadays? Foaf went looking for one to make something like this, but every single container he found at the grocery store, carrying any kind of liquid, were all plastic. "
SOBE bottles, any glass drink bottle, or if you dont wanna worry about a snug fit, then get a container for pizza sauce...just some ideas ill post some pics of my dogs heat bomb/incubator when he get a chance to take pics...
basically he used a microwave/dishwasher safe sports waterbottle, heater, and a lit from a bigger koolaid jug type bottle...the big one was too tall for my dogs incubating chamber (considering he is using a large thermal lunchbox) its small but perfect for my dogs stealth grow

Hehe, I have been using my original heatbomb for about 2 years now. 1 Gallon glass pickle jar from my grocery store. I put it in the largest icechest I could find for even heat distribution. It can hold 56 quart jars of wbs and the bomb itself:) So this can be used for bulk. If you need more space, just build a second one, like me.

very clever idea, I think I would use an aluminum "bottle" that a lot of beer companies have come out with recently to increase the thermal transfer.
Would be fun to also see a side-by-side comparison of water versus radiator fluid as well. Although I have no idea what, if any, benefits would be realized there when we're only talking about a 10-15 degree thermal climb.

I made one of these heat-bombs a couple weeks ago. At first, I was really disappointed, it seemed like the jar was no warmer than any of the others and wasn't really benefiting me in any way.
Now that it's friggen cold in here (55 degrees outside and I still have to light my furnace) the heatbomb is very warm and I've gone from regretting the expenses to being overjoyed. It's much warmer in my 70 liter, towel covered incubator than it would be without it. The outside of my jars in the incubator feel about room temperature where the ones outside are quite cold to the touch.
So I guess this post is bumping this idea for those who haven't seen it as the temperatures get colder here in the northern hemisphere.
Thanks to Ohmatic for putting this idea to tek.
PS I used the 50watt heater from walmart, make sure not to buy the one that is the cheapest, it is only 7.5 watts

My foaf just uses a space heater to keep the entire room at 75-80.
Keep the door closed, vents closed, towel outside the door at the bottom, and the space heater hardly ever runs at except at night when it dips to 40.

fire hazard! I'd pick a much large plastic bottle and make sure the plastic has a 5 or above on it!!! Under 5 on plastic is cheap crap. Also don't reuse a plastic cup with a 5 or less.
If you are really going to do that, get a 2 liter bottle of water or something.
Just as easy to take 2 tubs, fill the bottom tub with water and the heater, then put the other tub on top with some weight.

lol the original heabomb design couldnt even be a fire hazard if it WANTED to be one, simple because a good heater turns itself off if it exceeds 40°C or more 
original bomb was used for years, fully maintenance free, and the thread isnt about a TiT but, small scale, heatbomb

I was actually about to attempt to make a larger scale one out of a gallon tea container, but it's completely symmetrical, no handle or anything. I want to use it for off-season incubating and I think I'm gonna try LM's heat shock as well.

Here's my setup:
INCUBATOR --------- Made from house-insulation building material.

MEAUSUREMENT ------------ This digital meter reads temperature and humidity in both Centigrade and Fahrenheit. Around 82°F (a bit on the hot side) as i'm incubating Stropharia rugoso-annulata.

INSIDE VIEW ----------- Several attemps to make Stropharia rugoso-annulata spawn in the jars. The bags contain pasturised straw inoculated with Pleurotus ostreatus grain spawn.

HEATBOMB -------- This one i made a year ago. A glass bottle and an aquarium heater 100 Watts.

I'm not planning a big grow so it should be fine
the jars I inoculated failed (spores were too old) but the substrate still seems fine and not smelling funky. So I'm going to re-inoculate with fresh spores and first I'm going to build this heat bomb!

do NOT do this, something could still germinate without you noticing and all of a sudden you got various strains going causing major fuckup.
ill pm you this aswell.

I always had that problem of water evaporating in small incubators. This would definitely solve it. I think I'm going to build one of these those weekend. But I think it is best to take a big bottle. Because these aquarium heaters fluctuate a bit. The bigger the bottle, the more time it takes the water to cool off once the heater has reached the temperature, and thus the less it fluctuates. Temperature fluctuations are terrible for fungi growth. Thought I might share this little remark.
But nevertheless, it's a great idea!

I'm doing a straw Tek at the moment. It's just into harvesting. I decided to use your "heatbomb" to provide for the necessary heat. I've got to tell you: Congrats man! That thing works brilliantly! The room the incubator is in is not heated so at night temperatures drop to +- 10°C (50°F). By placing an electric thermometer inside the incubator I was able to monitor the temperature switches. Man, that thing only fluctuates 1°C! It is a constant 22°C (72°F) in there! Thanks again for this brilliant idea, I'll be using it forever (or until I decide to heat my room )

Ive found that by manually heating the mycelium via hot water the last 12-24 hours (not too hot..)gives a wonderful boost to it. I always use lukewarm dunking water etc. Giving them a warm and cosy environment is great in the beginning stages of fruiting (before theyre taken out of the jars..). There is an upper temp limit of course which is around 24-25 c..however they never exceed that outside of their jars but the extra heat seems to "wake them up..":P
It was LM who first invented this method, ive never tried it.
I once tried to stall my jars by cooling them, so I put them in the freezer and forgot about them for too long. They survived:P I stood and ran them under the warm fosset for 10 minutes each...that mycelium is sturdy.. I was kind of happy..it was 30 jars..:P

i have a visi-theerm deluxe 150 watt heater still in the box. i'll post how my heatbomb comes out.

So I am going to try this method to incubate my 1/2 pint jars.
What specific drinks bottles have people used?
I am planning on using a 75W heater I will probably pick up on Amazon.
Now could I use the beat bomb to heat my fruiting chamber as well? if so I could use a setup idea?

Well im from the northeast in the states. and feel like trying to keep things at constant temp would be better. My basement will be nowhere near the mid to high 70's.
Do you have any other suggestions for temperature regulation?

try 11. the heat bomb was already old when iphones were still new.
edit: that's not to say it doesn't work though. if it's heat you need this thing will deliver.

That not what I meant, i mean i searched about heating and found this method. You guys are not telling me to not use this method and saying room temp is fine, but room temp for me would be like 63 usually or colder in my basement.
Should have I have just made a new thread asking about how to keep things at a appropriate temperature in the mid 70s consistently...

63 is better than doing something that will dry out your substrate.

63 is OK it'll just grow slower. but why keep them in the basement, keep them in the room you're in, bedroom, living room, whatever.
the heat bomb is literally a heat bomb, with high chance of drying out your cakes/grain spawn if left too close. if its too far away it wont help much. I've tried this a couple times, its just not worth it.

Thank you, well I live in the basement well half basement. And I would like to grow them as quickly as possible lol.
Well if it dries things up maybe I should see if I could come up with a solution to that... hmmm...
Wonder what would happen if i encased the bottle in a hollow aluminum box as a radiator...

Okay well, fair warning, when you grow them as quickly as possible, mold, bacteria, and whatever else all grow as quickly as possible too.

If you must heat, heat the whole room. Use one of those plug in oil filled heaters or something similar. As said above, any kind of incubator will dry your shit out. Also as said above, they will grow at 63. You will find out that this hobby is 90% patience and waiting. Mushrooms are on their time, not ours. Don't try to rush, just start more projects while you wait.

Gotcha not trying to rush just do things 100% perfect as I can get it!
So how about heating a closet with a temp regulated space heater? on one end blowing at the wall and the SGFC on the other side?

I'm guessing it would disrupt the air currents of the SGFC and probably dry the cakes out fast. A closet is not a good place for a SGFC, also there shouldn't be any kind of fans anywhere near it. I would sit it somewhere in the middle of your living space, check out the link in my signature on the principles of the SGFC

At first I loved incubation. Then I started getting contamination. Every TIT I made would keep the jars waaaay too hot (like in the 90's) it just isn't worth it when they colonize just fine on a shelf.

Got it! Just trying to find the best method that works me , I just need a build with the most amount of walk away time possible.
Hence why I have been looking at heating things and self humidifying Fruiting Chambers...

Gotcha, if you want walk away time, monotubs are great. If you have a pressure cooker, do grains. If not, you can make a bunch of cakes and spawn them to coir in a monotub. A greenhouse is another option, and would be the only time I would use a humidifier.

I have most of the stuff for PF TEK right now like the 1/2 pint jars and Vermi and Brown Rice Flower. Just gotta build the Still Air Box and Fruiting Chamber.
How different is a Monotub from SGFC, any specific links/ version of that tek.

You don't even need a SAB for pf tek...just a sgfc... and monotubs are for spawning colonized grains to a substrate, no brf cakes (usually)

Although I think cakes are best fruited as cakes,IMO Crumbling and spawning brf cakes to CVG in a monotub is a good way for a beginner to get their feet wet in bulk without the need for a PC. Also you don't have to mist everyday. Here is the basic principles of a monotub http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/20307891

I know this post is a billion years old, but I was just making one of these heat bombs, and thought I would share for anyone having an issue finding a match for a bottle and aquarium heater...
Materials needed:
• Heat gun (Milwaukee brand I bought was around 25-30 dollars and is amazingly handy for a TON of applications...)
• aquarium heater • 1Liter plastic bottle • Silicone or Epoxy Mix
It's exactly the same as the original, but use the heat gun to widen (or even shrink) the water bottles mouth by setting the heat gun up or putting it in a vice - however you can have it on and in a fixed location - and rotate the mouth of the bottle over the heat gun until it becomes malleable. Take the aquarium heater and with a twisting motion, twisty it into the bottle unto it's Ali the way through the zone that needed to be resized, and carefully squeeze the plastic to mold it as tight as possible around the heaterand boom.
Wait for the bottle too solidify, take out the heater with the same twisty pull moron used to insert it, fill the resized bottle fill of water, actually leaving about an inch or 2 of space before the top, then squeeze the bottle until the water is at the top, then, as you let up on the bottle, push the heater back in, so it replaces the air for the heater.. Just an easier way instead of splashing eager everywhere haha..
Using epoxy or silicone, seal'er uppppp!
