The eaziest thing to do is stick them on top of a electrical device like a cable box or computer hard drive


I think others will tell you different but 65 F it is possible to collonise jars it will just take longer

Above the fridge is what a lot of people do.

But I use heading pads that are for reptiles. Not directly on the jars though...

I used a small reptile heating mat to do this years ago. A seedling heat mat could help too, same idea.

Patience, there is nothing wrong with slower colonization if you are shaking your jars. Be aware that mycelium makes it's own heat, you can, and I have, placed the jars close together and laid a thermal blanket over them, you can get 10 degrees out of such an arrangement.

awesome i will use a mixture of both seedling mat and close together with a blanket over them.

also my wbs smells a bit strange. i cannot tell if it is the smell of the wbs or contam since i am used to using corn. is this something normal or should i be concerned?

Have a Xbox 360? On top of the power brick is warm. If they are in a cabinet make sure the cabinet is not near the edge of the house. Cold air from outside can also make the cabinet colder like it did to mine.
