Well its finally that time to start my first grow. Per doc_T's suggestion I ordered a random syringe from sporeworks. I got it in yesterday and it's a Puerto Rican strain. I'm going to use a simple pf tek just like from letsgrowmushrooms. I'm going to keep an up to date log so hopefully you guys can help me any way possible any advice is greatly appreciated!They are inoculated as of about 30 minutes ago. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I don't have any contams.

I just completed my first grow to the exact specifications of those videos--20 jars, and not one was contaminated :].
My advice to you: be patient and do not peek at the jars too often while they are colonizing.
Best of luck, you wont be disappointed!

I have just a generic question about yeilds and that is how many times can you use the same cakes? is it atleast two but like until they stop really producing? also do the other yeilds go faster? thank you for any information given.

It tends to take about two months to harvest, but it can be slower if the temperature is too low. Try to colonize at about 80F.

So it's day 3 and I just checked my babies no signs of anything (obviously) keeping them at a pretty constant temp. of 72-75F still crossing my fingers that there will be no infection and they'll grow quickly.

Looks fine to me so far, and the temp shouldn't be a problem as long as it says in that area. Contamination will show its self eventually, if it is there. Best to keep checking on it one a week or so.

Keep the pictures coming!

I don't know if it is just your pic that is sideways, or you are holding your jar sideways, but try to keep them right side up or you will mess up your dry verm layer which is helping to keep contams out of your jars.

Yes its ok. Try to keep them away from temps over 80 though. Thats where it starts to get more inviting to contams.
I've got several jars going too.
 
Good luck man!
