colonizing on low temp

I live in a crappy appartment and we kinda freeze when is night time. During the day I think it should be around 20?C, it's almost nice. Not for shrooms though. Where I live we have to use kerosene heaters, but they turn off automatically for safety (we won't die without oxigen, or cause a fire). So most of the time my jars are gonna be under optimum temp. I've been thinking if the substrate is gonna be good enough when fruiting time comes. Because it's cold it's gonna take more energy to colonize, and more time too. Should I add more BRF to the mixture or anything that could help the cake keep all necessary nutrients to have good flushes?

Colonizing in lower temp while not optimal, is fine but much slower.
Now when fruiting might still be able to fruit, but I would imagine the fruits might be small.
Get a steady temp for fruiting.

hot water tanks, computer monitor and routers are good sources of 'free' heat. free as in you are already paying for it might as well use it some something.

Perfect. By the time my jars are colonized (haven?t prepared them yet to inoculation) the temperature will be fruiting temp. I'll have my mushies outside, nature and everything, before melting summer comes.
