Colonization temperature
    #634019 -

The only room available for jars is one where temperature hovers around 70 degrees F. I have heard the best approach to use to get to around 80 degrees F (I believe this is ideal for cubensis) is to use heat pads. My idea is to make "sandwich" layers in a box, with stacks of jars with heat pads layered between. Should this work? Should I just keep the heat pads on the lowest setting or warmer? Are there any dangers?

If anything, I think using multiple heat pads would raise the temp more than needed. Check the FAQ's for heating ideas. You could try a couple different heating options using a submersible aquarium heater and a container filled with water. Good luck.

The ideal temperature for your P. Cubensis jars is usually around 85 degrees Fahrenheit, give or take a couple of degrees. One aquarium heater ought to work for what you're trying to do - just put it underneath the box and insulate it from the box with a folded up towel or a layer of styrofoam. This keeps the temp from changing too rapidly and helps distribute the heat. Also keep the box insulated - use a cooler or wrap a blanket around the box. This also keep the temperature stable despite day/night temperature variations of room temperature.
Start your heating pads on the lowest setting (where did you find one with a setting dial?) and use an indoor/outdoor digital thermometer to measure the box temperature without opening it. You will have to adjust the temperature as the mycelium matures, as it puts off its own heat.

This is in my opinion the best way to incubate
