In hopes kf speeding up colonization anyone think that this could damage the mycelium please speak up
I usually find a spot to leave my jars by checking temps. Great spot is above the fridge. Get a small digital thermometer and leave it there. 78 to 80 is a good temp to grow myc. Steady temps are best. Not sure what a spike in temp would do.
It worked like a charm sat them in the sun for 8 hours for 3 days under a black tarp on my window ledge in a box and this held a steady temperature which increased the rate of colonization
