I have fucked up 2 times because i can not find a good humid place to store them. i had them in my attic one time and it was 80 degree. it was wrapped in a black trash bag

under your bed in a shoe box they should be at around 28 degrees celcius, you really should design a grow chamber with a submerged aquirum heater on a thermostat to regulate the temp

In the cupboard, wrapped in a black plastic bag. It's best if you avoid places with lots and lots of wood, because wood tends to lower humidity. I also add a glass of water in the cupboard, next to the wrapped up jars, in order to keep humidity over 50%. The temps are somewhere on the upper 70s.

PS: Ron Paul, a great man and role model. It's nice to see that some people still can pick out the right person to look up to.

yea, the stupid sub. water heaters suck, i got one and turned itup, only to come and check on the water temp and only occasionaly would it be up to temp. i even replaced the water heater and it didnt help, still doesnt keep it warm. good luck. last time i managed to make it work i had a 400w hps light in a closet and i put the jars in a shoebox and it workd.

theres no need to worry about humidity when incubating jars, because the sealed jar keeps the jars humidity high all you have to worry about is keeping the temp where you need it...like stated previously two rubbermaid tote boxes that are dark in color an adjustable submersible water heater and an air pump to evenly distribute the heat and get a thermometer to calibrate and monitor your temperatures

as stated before.. humidity doesnt matter...
room temp is fine.. a litttttle warmer is better, will help colonize faster.

an inucbator is about the easiest thing to build...tubB, inside of a tub A, few inches of waterin tub A... put a water heater in tub A(walmart, $17), put jars in tub B
keep and eye on the water levels.. if it gets low the heaver will burn a hole through the bottom of the incubator..

if not.. the cabinet over your frig works well!!! i wouldnt let them get over 80... the center of the cake will be a little warmer and if it gets too hot it will die.. too cold it will just stall and take longer...
