3 incubation preparation
the weight of substrate to water is about 5:1 (maybe lower)
I show the number below is wrong. it’s just for photo

Mix them you get the incubation substrate.But I won’t mix them all.

I will use syringe to put the water to the button

I remove the auto-heating. because I think that it isn’t sensitive
I use heat tape to continuing heating. I suggest you should do long time(several days) to decide the heat tape length to determinate the temp.
I suggest the temp is 35*C(not over 36*C ,below to 32*C is ok, but it will take more time)

great post! What did you use for the substrate in the containers? Were the holes in the sides of the containers enough for fresh air to circulate, or did you have to open the lids every few days?
