Solution for low temperatures in my fruiting chamber?
    #7467505 - 09/29/07 02:27 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

I'm incubating my first 6 jars as we speak and English winter is kicking in. This means room temperature is low at the moment (averaging around 17C). Upon setting up my fruiting chamber i have found that it is too cold. I was wondering if there is some way to use the fish tank heater used in my incubator for heating my fruiting chamber.

This is an image of an idea i have thought of.. i shall probably realise by the morning that there are sooo many problems with this idea.



maybe i should just buy another fish tank heater? and if so.. what is the best way to use this heater in my f. chamber?

i have the same problem, i have my FC sitting next to a heater which keeps it around the 70-70F mark.



or if u'r not using ur incubor u could maybe stick ur FC in the heating part of the incubator.

surely i cant predict whether i will be using the incubator when i need my fruiting chamber.. depends if my cakes colonise fully at the same time.

This grow is in "stealth" mode for the time being, so i dont really have an open space to keep a large heater next to the FC.

put a fish tank heater in a water bottle and seal it with water resistant silicon. set it to a med-low setting and put it in your FC

you could, but too much heat would be lost for any benefit to occur.

if you want, put the FC on top or next to your fridge, water heater, or TV. its better to invest a lil then to risk losing your crop;)

You need to heat your room instead. If you heat the terrarium, you'll get too much condensation.

You could probably partially solve this next time around by getting Tasmanian spores to grow, as they normally grow in a fairly cold environment. But yes, excessive condensation would need to be countered for if you heat the terrarium only.
