Ok, so if somehow I could manage to set the temp of the fridge to about. 77-78 degrees, it might potential work?

Yeah, for growing the mycelium. The mushrooms will need 12/12 light to grow, not a lot, cfls will work.

Ok that sounds great. When I get home today. I'll see what I can construct as far using a 12/12 light in the fridge. I'm thinking while I'm away during the day keeping them in the fridge and when I get home, pulling them out and putting them under light.

That should work. I keep mine in a dark tote above a radiant heater for an incubator then I move them to a clear tote with a timed light overhead. Remember to get fresh air to them a couple times a day if you can.

Thanks for input...
Also, I'm looking to buy spores, but would like a reliable site that people have purchased from before.

No need to incubate anything, that is old out dated info. P.cubensis will grow faster with warmer fruiting temps, but they will be much weaker and very hollow , stretched and flimsy. I like my fruiting temps no more than 70 degrees if I can. It will add a few days until harvest, but your fruits will be MUCH more dense and potent. Keeping colonizing mycelium in the dark is old out dated info, ambient light is benificial to mycelium in all stages of life. Good luck
Wait. I think you missed the point.
I did? He's asking about incubation in a fridge etc... I'm letting him know that isn't needed... I understand that my level of mycology is far past you, but please stop hating. I know 110% what I'm talking about when it comes to the cultivation of p.cubensis. why are you mad that I'm letting the newbs know that incubation is obsolete and can actually harm your myc and be a vector for contams? You are prolly a fan of the grow mushrooms the lazy way thread..
Lollll!!!
Ok. Lol.
What is your definition of incubation? From your post. One can only assume that you want him to inject the spores into a sub. Then go directly to fruiting. Don't even wait for any colonization to occur.
If you think i'm angry from the statement.
"Wait. I think you missed the point."
You really do have mental issues.
Lol!
Explain yourself like a normal human being prior to trying to come off as a master.
Do you have a reading or cognitive disability?
THE definition of incubation is colonizing myc in a warm dark place... Which is outdated info.
Where did I ever say to shoot spores into a sub??
You sir are the one who has a disability apparently.
I am simply telling these newbs that incubation is WRONG, I'm sorry that you and some others on this forum can't handle that I am stating FACTS about p. Cubensis.
Just let your myc colonize in ambient light, not in anything to keep it warm or in the dark or any other in neasessary things. As long as the temp is at least 70 then the myc will.colonize fine AND be much more healthy then putting them somewhere in the dark and too warm.

You could have just explained yourself from the beginning. .instead of coming off as a dick. I did say to keep in a higher temp range yes. But I have colonized at lower temps years ago. Its nice for the overall shroom growth. And I never keep my intial colonizing subs in complete darkness. But. A majority of people that grow on this site dont want to wait that extra time and have the need to be discrete due to personal preference.
To each his own.
The main objective is to get this guy started in growing. In a way that best suits his current living/growing environment. Get him through his initial grow.
Let him get a feel for the basics.
Then you can bring in your practiced teks and teach them to him. That's how you should be as a fellow human being. Is it not?
And that's why I asked why he wanted tonuse a fridge, if stealth was a concern.
And IMO its easier for someone new not to worry about darkness and high temps.... If you look at jars of spawn colonized at higher temps you will notice liquid and metabolites forming in the jars, a clear indication the myc is stressed.

You are correct. I must have been reading too many threads at once. I apologize sir.
Truce? You seem like good peeps. Sorry I came off as an ass, I will be much more chill from now on.
