Growing for the first time, need some advice.

So I have decided I would like to try and grow mushrooms. Ive watched a few videos on Youtube about growing mushrooms in jars and Ive read over a few guides but I couldnt find anything about growing with grow bags. Im going to purchase my Grow Bags from The Mad Season and my spore syringes from SporeWorks and plan on trying to grow B+. For my first time growing I want to have the easiest, and best experience possible so I figure I would ask a few questions before I got started.
1) After I get the spore syringes and inject about 3 CCs into the grow bags can I just leave it in a dark corner for 2 weeks mash it up and then leave it in the dark corner again for about another month to two months and expect to get mushrooms?
2) If the answer to my first question is yes, then is it possible to grow B+ in the temperature range of 65-75 degrees?
3) What are some things I could do to make my first experience as smooth as possible.
4) What would be the easiest way to grow with bags that would have the least interaction required from me? (Im not lazy, I just dont wanna mess anything up, so the less I have to deal with it I figure the less of a chance I have to screw it up.)
Thank you in advance for any helpful advice.

Light doesn't matter while colonizing. They wouldn't fruit unless they were fully colonized. When it's at about 30% colonization or so, give it a massage to break up and spread around the mycelium.
Psilocybe Cubensis will grow at that temperature. 75 degrees is good.
The most important thing would be correct sterile procedure. The use of a glove box, rubbing alcohol, and flame sterilization of the needle will help.
Keep them off the floor. Most contaminants are floating in the lower 1 ft of the room.
you'll get more bang for your buck if you spawn to bulk like this http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/8231041

You won't have access to that forum until you get some time under your belt here. I'd suggest using brf tek for your first grow rather than bags, so you can learn the mushroom life cycle with less expense and less chance of failure. RR

probably not a good idea to just forget about them, because of contaminants..

Out of curiosity, how long do spores last in their syringes? I was thinking of buying a couple and just having them on hand but I don't wanna do that if they only last for approximately 1 month. (I'd need them to store for about 2 months.) Thanks for any advice again.

Spore remain viable for a very very long time. I don't know how long exactly, but 2 months is fine. I think people have used 1 year old syringes with success, i'm not sure tho
