First grow. And a question

Hey everybody. First, thanks to everyone who has contributed to this site. I spend a good portion of my time just soaking in as much info as i can. So my pal skip decided to try a pf tek style grow using a brf substrate. Skip steam sterilized 10 jars and inoculated them in a homemade glovebox. Skip finished inoculating this morning and placed the jars in the glovebox with the lid off and placed under a desk. Room temp is at 73 degrees. Skip was a little nervous because he was not consistent at only injecting 1/4cc in each hole. He tried to compensate by using a little less/more pending on the mistake. That only happened with a few jars but should that be a problem? Now that I think about it, it really shouldn't but skip is a little nervous because its his first time. And is 73 degrees an ok temp for colonization? And is it ok for them to be in the glovebox with the lid off under the desk? And just to be sure, skip doesnt need to put the tape back over the inoculation holes, does he? thanks everybody. Just want to be sure things are being done correctly and would like some advice from someone with experience

If there is a verm layer then the tape is not necessary.
Get them off the floor and put them up on a shelf or desk.
Room temperature is just fine, its actually preferred.
It doesn't HAVE to be exactly 1/4cc in each hole... just dont put WAY too much in there or it will get too wet.

Ok thats good about the tape because i thought thats what i read in one of the pf write ups but thought i saw something that contradicted it somewhere else, and will definitely get them off the floor. And i know you dont need to use exactly a quarter cc per hole but originally wanted to do 12 jars but wasnt thinking and injected almost a whole cc in one inoculation hole on the first jar and it had me a little nervous. Sorry for the silly questions but I just want to be 100% sure on what im doing so i can hopefully have some decent results. Thanks for the help.

Yup, sounds like you're on the right track. Just keep rereading the teks you're following so you don't forget anything, and remember to always be patient! Get some pics up if you can too. Everyone loves a little mushie porn.

Thanks for all the input guys. I will try to post some mushie porn when something happens. (if i can find my camera because I dont know how to upload cell pics) The only pics I have are on my cell and thats mostly just the substrate in the jars. Will post again when I see some signs of life

Dang,figured out how to upload pics from my phone and I was about to upload some picture of what Ive done so far but I cant upload any images because of the server or whatever being upgraded or something. Sorry guys but its nothing you haven't seen before and its nothing exciting yet. Hopefully things will be working soon so i can post pics whenever I get some mycelium growth.

Haha, I was waiting for someone to say that. lol. yea.. skip had to, um, go to the store for supplies? so I took over. haha But thanks, just hope things keep going as planned. Im hoping for no contams, and when the time comes, nice fruits. Then I can make some spore prints and make syringes and maybe even try a bulk substrate maybe after another grow pending on how this one goes. I hope i can get all 10 jars to colonize w/ no contams because im curious how many grams dried all 10 cakes can yield. If things go as planned, any guesses on how many grams dry all 10 cakes will yield?
