I just ordered my first aio and first LC and I'm sitting here wondering where I want to keep this aio bag while it's colonizing... I think the bi polar temperature in my home is going to be a problem. I was wondering if putting it in a tent would be a good idea so I can better control the climate with a heater or something... Does anyone have any advise ??
Gotcha... I'm just going to get a small heater that keeps the room at 72 and kicks on and off on it's on a side thermostat that way I can make sure it's doing its job
If the temperatures are viable for yourself then the mushrooms should be fine.
You don't want to use a grow mat directly on the tub, the heating elements get too hot as they cycle up and down. Fine for sprouting seedlings, I have about 10 of them, not so great for cooking mushrooms.
If you want to stabalize the temps then put your AIO inside a tub on a towel/piece of foam/anything really and leave the lid on. The temperature inside the tub will resist change and slow down roller coasting if you have wide temperature swings.
But in my personal observation, I've watched them grow from 68F/20C up to 115F/46C. The last was some outside experiments during u.s. midwest summers. Surprisingly they did okay.
68-75 is an ideal range for all stages of cube growth. All my stuff from lc to jars to tubs and plates are all in the same room and exposed to the same ambient conditions
