Hi,
I am not a reptile person but i was hoping you guys could help me heat my plastic tub that I am using to grow mushrooms in.
The mushrooms need to be around 28 degree celcius with 90% humidity.
I have a thermostat and am not sure which heat cable to get.
I was thinking the 7 meter 50watt cord and i was going to drill holes in the tub and weave the cable back and forth through it. My only worry is that the cable would get hot enough to melt the tub as it would be in direct contact with it.
Here is a picture of the kind of tub i am heating:
Also, what kind of tempatatures do different lengths and wattages typically get in a small enclosure such as this. I need to maintain around 28 degrees even in winter if that makes any difference. Also, there will be other holes drilled in the tub for air exchange therefore heat loss.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
