Did i Fuck up?

Alright. So i recently purchased a dual chamber mushroom kit from mushroomtroll.com because that company is actually based out of my home town of london ontario. I bought an 8 pound bag fresh live mycelium spawn. the species was Psilocybe Cubensis Nepal Chitwan. now here is where i fucked up. I microwaved the pearlite... But i forgot to add water. I put it into the kit after it dried then i layed the mycelium. then i put down a layer of coconut coir for added nutrients. But once again i forgot to add water when i microwaved. then i Layed the vermiculite. I plugged in my ionizer//fogger and i plugged in my air pump but i didnt tape the air pump properly and lets just say after i went to bed like 4 hours later it fell off sometime in the night...
when i woke up this morning i put it back on taped it up nice and tight ...
Now i am wondering. is there the possibility that i may have fucked up this whole thing by not adding water. Like lets say too much dryness or some shit for an extended period of time...
Any thoughts?

I think the whole purpose of perlite is to hold water and release it slowly to raise RH levels to the max so if the perlite isn't soaked, it's not serving any purpose. I would take everything out, soak the perlite in water for coupld of mins and let it drain for 5, then redo everything.
Anyone know why one would nuke (microwave) the perlite?

Kits are not the way to go when starting out.. I feel they give you this false sense that mycelium cultivation can be made simple, but there is really much you should know about the inner workings of the subject before doing anything with it. Kits cut out a whole learning process that is vital to succeeding in mycology. I would start over with spores and PF Tek... The reason the PF Tek is best for starters.. Mainly because the supplies are cheap and easy to find... Not to mention you learn allot about growing Mushrooms.. As opposed to dropping spores in a bag and hoping for the best. Not to mention... you have ultimate control over the whole project from start to finish. If the spores have already been introduced to your kit.. All you CAN do is let it run it's course and hope for the best... If not.. Keep the spores and read the PF Tek...

Meh... too bad I can't order from sites. Being a GA resident, I have to go out and find the actives, spore print them, and make the syringes myself.

So they actually check the stuff that goes through your mail? Suck and a half Nec. Have you tried shipping UPS? I don't know the laws for GA but the worst that usually happens is that you get your box in the mail with an orange label attached that says "Don't buy this stuff any more. It's illegal and corrupting our youth...like jazz!". Usually you can be held responsible for strange companies sending you things in the mail. Anyone else here know GA law or postal system outside of no spores?

What about friends that you know you can trust that might live in a state that is legal to receive spores? Just a thought

I'm not sure if they check the mail or not, its just that companies simply won't accept an order with a GA address. It just means I can only cultivate the actives that I can find in my area... so no Golden Teacher for me.

nec you make it sound like its a major problem or something. First of all you can pretty much find people on here to give away spore prints, or trade them at least. one spore print=10 syringes or so. so why would you even worry about buying them. and if you that upset about not having gt, ill send you a print. im harvesting today

I've only been doing it for a year or so. Not upset about it, I'd just like to be able to try my hand at some different strains/species.

perlite is useless without water. nuking is a poormans pasturization but without water you are lucky you did not burn your house down. try instead 20 minutes in a shallow pan in a 350 degree oven.
