No problem with the help dude; I'm glad to assist! 
You might be able to get visible growth in 2-4 days with an LC, but spore inoculations can take up to 2-3 weeks just to germinate, which is a microscopic process, so you may not even see anything for a month. This is assuredly rare, but nonetheless possible.
This is why so many people prefer LC, G2G, or GLC... they are much faster methods of starting a grow.

Consider a monotub or mini monotub IMO. You can put them almost anywhere and adjust the polyfill depending on your circumstances to get proper FAE and they provide their own moisture & humidity. They are truly low maintenance compared to greenhouses, marthas, and SGFC's from what I hear about those latter three.
All you'd need to read up on is proper substrate moisture and pasteurizing, building the tubs to specification, and fruiting strategies... all of which can be found in my signature links

cant afford to get anything that it would take to turn them into casings . I need a good spawn bag or something i still have spores left to use lol. But alas, no money because i dont have work for two weeks......Damned flooding. Mississippi river reached 50 feet here when it crested and engulfed the edge of downtown

you don't need to case cubes. and you don't need spawn bags.
Are you doing a PF tek? BRF/Verm cakes in a SGFC?

Yes, But a rather large one in a ventilated closet with two different cool mists. Its a BIG closet, well, one side of it is. The other side needs two more shelves ripped out and its good.

If you're just doing cakes, and it's your first grow, you should keep it simple.. The Shotgun fruiting chamber works very well, and you don't really need to worry about your exterior environment.. ie; your closet/humidifier setup...
for your next grow, you should definately try a mono or mini-mono.... i get waaaaaay better yields than any other method I've tried... Martha, cakes, etc...
Good luck, man

Those pictures look like good mycelium growth to me. When doing closeups, use the macro mode (like the icon below) if your camera has one. That should help it to focus up-close.

..try to put the camera on something to steady it if you don;t have a tripod.. and if you have macro mode on your camera, use that.. (it should be a flower icon)... helps focus better...

quick question, would it be a horrible idea to go ahead and do a trial run with my fruiting chamber, or get it running? Anybody have an estimate for me on how long these growths could take? i kno i need to wait a week after the jar seems fully colonized, so i dont want to run it and anything be bad. Perhaps i should just be patient. but then again , i could always clean it out i reckon.
UPDATE: While ive been waiting, ive been tending to my tomatoes and my burpless cucumber vines. Along with some onions,bell peppers (im super excited about these) two different sweet peppers (including banana), Chile Peppers (in their own area lol, some of my family might not enjoy my bell peppers being rather spicy).Ibe also got three successful tomato clones, not to mention the salvia, marigolds, etc..etc.. Noc'ing up 7 new jars in a few hours once theyve cooled down. Excited about more growth, but, i ran shy of brown rice flour i made from some organic brown rice, and used instant brown as a substitute. if it fucks me over doing this, then it does . Wasnt much i could do about it, seeing as i cant burn the gas today and didnt want that jar to sit out on this pc.I only ran shy on one jar, so hopefully it can be pulled off. Wanna know what u guys think though.
