Measuring temperature- fermentation

[S4mo]

I made my own fermenting kiln out of old car "refrigerator" and 35W halogen bulb . But I dont know where to monitor the temperature. Is it better to monitor the air temp or the leaves? Down is the picture of the sensor Im using. I will use smart plug to time the heating cycle, because the electro-mechanical I have is too inaccurate.

Measure the temperature of the air inside the kiln. Be sure that you circulate the air with a fan. The fan should continue to run regardless of the on/off cycle of the heat source.

Also, I used stainless grill to lift the leaves a bit to create an air gap at the bottom

Just found out, I still have some cured leaves . And they developed white mold. Is it possible to save it? I saw some posts about using vinegar or Hydrogen peroxide.

I have a strong UV light, perhaps that?

If the tobacco will be combusted, then discard the worst spots. I would not use such tobacco for smokeless preparations or for cigar wrapper.

I want to make cigarettes from it. From what I've read, peroxide shouldnt make a bad influence on the fermentation. Is that true?
