Incubator...Yes i'm a noob!

Hey guys, I'm waiting for my spores so I figured I'd start building TIT incubator and looking for any suggestions before I start.

Am I on the right track here? I have found some BRF but just says all natural and not "No preservatives" does it really matter? Can I stack the jars in the incubator so that all 12 will fit? Just waiting for Ralph now. Cant wait! Any help or forsite would be awesome. Thanks!

For one your Tit Looks good. You don't need ot put a top in it though. You can just put a blanket or sheet over it to keep the light out. Jars need air to colonize and the top will stop any from coming in.
I don't know if "no preservatives" really matters, but I am a noob too. If it does matter and you can't find brown rice flower w/o preservatives then just find some brown rice and put it in a coffee grinder. I hear that is better anyways.
Yeah you can stack the jars. Just remember that when you heat it up before you put your jars in there make it cooler than you want it. The jars act as an insulator and makes it really hot in there. I put mine right at 86 before i put my jars in. After I put them in I checked on them the next day and it was 91. That is bad news. Really dries your cakes out.
Hope this helps!!

Yeah, your on the right track, that looks really good (like you put some thought into it)  Yeah, you can get all 12 in there. And doesn't all natural actually mean no preservatives? Like kungpow said, I buy the "all natural, organically grown" rice and grind it up. And personally, I don't grind it to a powder, I like it to be more like chunks and pieces of whole grains. Yer good tho.

Thankyou very much kungpow for your info thats very cool of you. When you say you dont need a lid on it do you mean the second tub or the Styrofoam cooler? Hopefully just the second tub.
I live in the pacific coast of Canada and temps are pretty low this time of year...also my home is not at the recommended "room temperature" while I'm at work 8hrs-5days per week. I was hoping the cooler with down comforter over top would work with retaining the heat? The styro-cooler is Not air tight.
Thanks again!

Nice setup, I think I might do something similar to what you've got going there.

You don't need a lid at all. I don't have a lid on mine just a sheet covering it. It looks like it'll stay pretty warm in there too. So you'll prolly only need a sheet.
Good luck with your grow man!! I'm on my first and it seems to be coming through good. So far no contams with 10 jars. I don't think my lc worked too well. But I'll try again. Again Good Luck!!
