Possible temp problems...
    #5947664 - 08/09/06 02:56 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

My room temp is 75 to 79 typically and I'm planning to spawn 3 pints of wbs to 5lbs of 50/50 straw poo mix in a mono-tub.  I was wondering if the  mix would generate too much heat for fruiting and if so what would be a good alternative substrate that wouldn't generate as much heat.  I'm broke so I can't afford to run the AC too low, so if there isn't a good alternative what would be a good way to regulate temp without the AC.  Thanks for your help! :laugh:

it should do ok.

prop it up on something, a rack, or use 4 empty jars on the corners like legs... get creative anything works, just so air can flow around and under it, and it shouldn't be too much of a problem.  a thick (4" or more) poo sub can supposedly get up to 10 degrees over room temp, which would put you near 89 worst case, which is a little high but not in the danger zone. :thumbup:

When the heat is being produced by the substrate, it isn't fruiting anyway. At full colonization, the heat output declines, and this, along with an increase in air exchange will help to stimulate pinning.
