I'm guessing you are going to use PF tek? Looks like you are on the right path but most teks have a list of required materials at the top of the tek.
Is the ice pick for shanking anyone trying to steal your setup? :P (if this is for putting holes in your lids a nail or drill would probably be more efficient but to each his own)
<3 that you have tequila on the list - my favorite alcohol but where does it fit in with growing? And what about the wood strip, tape it to your tequila bottle so its easier to find?
Not trying to be mean just confused about some of your intentions

do you want these people here to do your job for you? i mean if you have to self bump that quickly it should probably tell you something. nobody wants to answer this because you should look around and find out what you want to do with what you have. you have all the proper stuff for pf tek so just follow those instructions and dont be lazy...

Don't be so rude. I'm simply asking if theirs anything I'm missing out. I bumped just before I went to bed.
Yeah your right about the ice pic, and the Drink is for Sterilization

i wasn't trying to be rude. i am simply stating that almost all teks have a list of stuff you will need and it is simply a matter of seeing if you have all the necessary items. if you wanted input on the methods you were planning on using that would be cool, but it kind of comes off like "here is what i have, now tell me what i should do".
you will learn what works for you through the mistakes you make and you might find that you don't need certain items you have listed, or might want different items. most importantly just do your homework. the reason i said what i said was because it came off like you were trying to get people to tell you what to do when there is a MASSIVE amount of info on this site. try to have a plan of action (ie. pf-tek to SGFC or whatever route you want to go). good luck on your grow.

What is the fish tank for? Use a plastic storage container that you can drill holes in for a fruiting chamber. Make sure the jars are short fat wide mouth 1/2 pints. 3rd, watch the pf tek videos at mushroomvideos.com
-------------------- The mushrooms, which grow only during the season of torrential rains, awaken the forces of creation and produce an experience of spiritual abundance, of an astonishing, inexhaustible constitution of forms that identifies them with fertility and makes them a mediation, a means of communion, of communication between man and the natural world of which they are the metaphysical flesh.

i agree. plastic storage containers are better and only cost a few dollars (or a few pounds) and are much easier to deal with and get FAE and just all around are more convenient.
to answer your perlite question. it depends on the size of your FC. calculate by volume. measure length and width in cm. id say 8cm is an ample depth. so length x width x height = volume. divide that by 1000 and if you are less than 10 you are good with that bag.

Ah okay mate, will but a clear Storage box, spores or Brown rice came through today, they got sent back to the post office for me to collect, so ill get them tomorrow, and hope the other item comes as well so i can get them both, then i can start my Project.
Ive looked around and cant see an average growth time from Start to finish people say few weeks but I've calculated like 6weeks? that's with Drying.

its impossible to say for sure. everything is subject to a ton of variables. you have germination which could be a day or two but it has taken up to 2 weeks sometimes. then there is colonization which varies widely. and fruiting. i would say 6 weeks is a fair estimate though. you never know until you try. just go for it and see how things turn out.
