 Starting out using a grow bag

Hey everyone.
So i've been doing a lot of reading and i've sort of compiled a list of steps and what guides i'm going to use in order to grow using a grow bag.
I purchased two bags from mycophile.com the other day. I decided to compile a list for my reference of what i'm going to do. I figured I would share the links and what not so other people who are doing the same don't have to search as much.
I'm new to this so go easy on me 
Here we go.
Build an incubator, making sure theres enough room for the bag to be extended. Possibly building a tend as a cover so it can be.
using http://www.fungifun.org/English/Pftek#a5
Inject bags with spores
(Following sterilization procedures for needle, bag already sterilized)
Mix the bag up, to spread spores around.
Place bag in incubator
(is it okay to look at bag while incubating, or does it need to be in a completely dark environment?) also, since it will be in an incubator I assume I most likely need to air that out every once in a while for some air exchange.
After a couple weeks, mix bag again when mycelium has taken over, wait another couple days until bag is completely taken over again.
Next Im going to prepare the casing mixture using these two links
http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/23805 for casing
and this
http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/23536
I'm thinking of using the incubator setup for the casing/fruiting chamber, still putting the mixture in an aluminum pan and of course disinfecting the box used.
What would be the side-effects of using a nutritive substance mixed in with the non nutritive substances in the casing mixture?
Would it perhaps just be better to use the bottom of the chamber with some plastic laid down, and possibly mix it with a unspawned substrate so the mycelium can expand more?
I was possibly considering ordering some pasteurized mixture from tenn. stud. Which I assume would be mixed with the orignal colonized substrate and placed back into incubation for a few days before covering up with casing material.
Well thats all I got. If i'm missing something I should be doing please let me know!
Or even if I have something mixed up.
Thanks

sounds good so far.
after ur spawnbag is 100% colonised you mix it with the prepasteurized poo and let it colonise.
thatll take about 10 days, then casing and fruiting

On another computer, when I clicked on those two exact links they both went to these graphic artists websites. It was wicked cool b/c one of them had this liquid metal stuff melting all over the main page. It was sweet, but it wasn't shroom specific. It is now when I click on it though.

so no one told me until months later, but you HAVE to fill the grow bag up with air. i used a air pump and pumped it threw the filter patch and after 3 months with no growth, 3 days later theres mycelium.
good luck!

i am going to be doing the exact same thing but i was wondering everyone if instead of casing i could just drop the big chunk in a fruiting chamber?
it would be awesome if i could get some opinions thanks all
yay first post!!
