Heating methods?
    #3842341 - 02/27/05 04:35 PM (19 years, 1 month ago)

Ok so there's all this stuff set up in the closet, but the place I live at is quite cold.  Outside, right now, it's 15 below zero... gets much colder in the earlier months.  The air is relatively dry as well.  Indoors most places are around 64-68F... higher than that is usually 'uncomfortable' for most.  Hunidification isn't an issue as there are wonderful humidifiers for that... however... heat is an issue.

I need ideas for heating up the fruiting chambers.  I'd rather not heat up the whole closet (spaceheater) because it's a fire hazard... is there some way to heat each chamber to a specific temperature?  I know there's the Tub-in-Tub method, but for as many fruiting chambers as there are, it would be real obvious to spot out.  Would I be able to get a quart jar, fill it up with water, stick a low watt adjustable fish tank heater in it, and put that inside the chamber?  And get a sensor to read temp of chamber?

Ideas ideas please! :smile:

Try the Tub on Tub tek. Look at  http://www.fungifun.org/pf/incubator.htm
But try to get one that has a lid for good result and that's transparent.

Yeah but that's the thing, I don't want to have 8 T-i-T's sitting around, it's too much. I heard with the water heater in glass jar method, the heat isn't evenly distributed. What if I put in a small case fan to blow everything around a little bit?

I just asked this question today and people suggested heating pads with a towel in between the fruiting chamber and heating pad. I got one at Walmart for like 25 bucks and its working wonderfully. My temp is at a constant 74 degrees.
