first time casing

SWIM is planning on make his first casing on friday!!!!! hes so excited. . he wants to go over his procedure with some other people before he buys all of his materials. he has two fully colonized 1 pint jars of birdseed. what he planns on doing is buying a bag a vermiculite, jiffy mix, a few tupperware containers, and a large rubber maid container. he get the vermiculite and jiffy mix to the proper saturation (when you squeeze a handfull, only a few drops of water comes out) and then place it in the microwave for 5-8 minutes. then, after spraying the room down with lysol, and after the vermiculite and jiffy mix cools off, he will then place about 1/3 of an inch of vermiculite on the bottom of the tupperware containers. then, with rubber gloves on, he will place about 2 inches of birdseed down. the top layer (jiffy mix) will be about 1/4 of the birdseed layer (1/2 inch). after covering the top of the tupperware container with saran wrap, he wil then place the casings back into a condition with no light and a temperature of about 78 for 2-3 days. during this time he will be constantly checking the casing for overly aggresive patches of mycelium and patching them up. after the 2-3 days is over he will then place them in a terrarium with the rh at around 100 percent and a 10 degree temperature drop to around 65-70 degrees. after he sees the mycelum start to pin, he will scoop out most of the perlite, and just leave a few jars containing perlite and h2o2 (to keep the humidity up around 70-90) in the terrarium (64 qt. rubbermaid container). he will mist once every day and fan 2-3 times. does this sound like optimal growing parameters? any thing i should change? quick question- should i still patch the casing when its in the terrarium? and how many times should i patch? thanks also, how many grams dry should i expect (from 2 pints of birdseed) if everything goes according to plan for SWIM?

Well you have your plan down to the t! Excellent, it is good rule of thumb for your top casing layer to be 1/4 the size of the colonized substrate layer.
