If you've already inoculated the jars theres no need for the tinfoil. It will reduce GE.

Spawn those to bulk!!! You can use PF cakes as spawn, you just crumble them up really fine. It works.
This way, you should get several times the yield as the cakes would alone.
I recommend horse manure as a bulk substrate just because it's easy to find, easy to prep, and completely free if you just go to the right places. Get it aged, it'll smell just like dirt (nothing like poo in any way whatsoever). Or if you can't do manure, just use coir (look up coir recipes I guess). Manure is better though... Check out the horse poo tek in my sig.
Instead of doing cakes in a shotgun FC, spawn those cakes to manure or coir (or coir mix of some sort) into monotubs. I'd recommend the monotubs as shown in the tek in my signature. They're very easy to build, cheap (probably avg. < $8 per tub) and work great. Can make whatever depth you desire (I say 2-3").
You should do bulk because it's only a couple more steps and the reward is so much greater. And it's just as easy as PF tek. Plus the nice thing about the monotubs is that if you want, you can set and forget (though I like to mist and fan). With shotgun FCs, you HAVE to mist and fan.
So you build your tubs. Then, using your PF cakes you crumble them up and spawn them to your bulk substrate in the tubs (1:2 or 1:3 ratio would work best). Then you wait and harvest. Easy.
Do it. 
The sooner you can get into bulk cultivation, the sooner you'll realize it's the way to go. Check out all of the teks in my signature, they're all worth knowing.
Though you never really know what you're going to get, I'd imagine if you used all of those PF cakes as spawn, you could easily hope for a few dry ounces...

I would do bulk but I started 5 jars golden teachers 2 weeks ago steamed them for 90 minutes I only have 3 jars left that are going healthy but the other 2 got contaminated green mold ehhh, I sterilized these new 10 jars for a 120 minutes that evilmushroom66s tek says to do for a higher success rate. So if all goes well next couple of weeks ill start everything for a bulk grow.

Uhh, yeah, it's prett easy.
Go find horse manure.. You can ask someone who owns horses if you can have some for flower bed or compost pile.
Make sure what you collect is aged. Meaning, it's been out in the open for a while, rained on, ect.. It should look dry and clumpy. When you break a nugget open, it should smell of dirt (not pee). Aged horse manure smells of dirt, not poop. When you pastuerize it, it smells of dirt, not poop.
I'd shred the dried poo, place it in a tied up pillow case. Have a big pot of water on stove, heat it up... Once water is about 150 F, put the pillowcase of poo in water, weigh it down with something. Keep heating water until it averages above 160 and less than 175 at several places where you stick the thermometer in. Just let it be at that temperature range for about 50ish minutes. I've see 45 minutes work, I've seen an hour work. Don't do longer than an hour, you don't want to kill off too much of the bacteria in the poo.
Let water cool down somewhat after you're done.. Dump a little water out, enough to grap pillowcase. Then set pillowcase of poo in a colander and let drain in the sink. You can do overnight, but at least 5-6 hours.. Can leave for up to 10-12 hours and it still be okay, but something like 6-7 works great. When you're ready to work, open up pillowcase. When you grab (gloved hand, be clean) poo, squeeze it... You don't want a lot of water coming out of it but as you squeeze it firmly you want a few drops of water to come out. That's when you know it's at field capacity. Good to go.
Yup, that's pretty much it. Spawn to manure in whatever you're doing (tub or tray) and good luck!

I read your horse poo tek Project, so after you boil and strain you just break up the hpoo and mix it with the food processed brf cake mix them up nothing more added?

You don't boil.
You allow it to get to 160-175 degrees F for about 50-60 minutes. This pasteurizes the poo, meaning, it takes the total bacterial content down a bit. Not all the way... Some bacteria is a good thing because it won't hurt the colonizing mycelium and it prevents other things from "setting up shop" and ruining your grow. If you boiled the poo you'd kill off too much bacteria, leaving it open for anything to take over.
So after you pasteurize the poo, you let it drain, then you mix it with your spawn in whatever type of FC you're using.
So yeah, mixe crumbled up PF cakes with poo, leave a thin later of just poo on top. Let colonize and consolidate. Fruit it..
That's it.

You should really just stick to the tek until you've mastered it. There's reasons why half pint jars are recommended, not pints. Making "adjustments" without experience is asking for problems IMHO.

Yea thanks bro they are taking off really fast. I had 5 jars of golden teachers I steamed the jars for 60 minutes as a test to see if I could make jars correctly, there are so many opinions on steaming, so I used EM'S Tek 10 days later 10 jars steamed at120 minutes and after inoculation 3 days later myc growth!
