First grow, Panama Strain. How am i doing? [PICS] UPDATED!!

Thought id try and grow some panama, just using an aquarium with air pump in a cup of water, half sticking in water and half out to disperse air nicely, fanning and misting most often of coarse. light cycle is roughly 12/12. This is my first grow by myself, i usually have done with friends.
Hows it looking to you guys? Already picked 9 healthy shrooms off of the one cake! One cake to the left went into the fc a day later, other 3 just went in now (colonize varied in jars). Been 3 days only. Im thankful for the shroom god for what he has given me 

MORE PICS:



And who said aquariums suck..

Doing better than 75% of first time grows around here. Those are looking great despite the fact it looks like your fruiting chamber isn't a standard SGFC.
More pics?

il have more pics up later, especially when the other cakes start taking off. i know my set up isnt standard, but it works for me. im learning slowly, and will try to prepare a monotub for my next grow. just wanted to see if i can do pf tek.
if you get humidity, air flow, and watch over the babies does standard operation matter that much?

Of course not, it's more of a compliment to you that you can do a non standard tek grow with so much success. Meanwhile others completely fail at using a SGFC which maintains itself.
Kudos.

The majority of people around here fail with a SGFC because they think "oh mushrooms can prob grow in any conditions, I'm going to shove it in my closet and close the door." I leave mine near an open window at all times and fan briefly when I mist which is 1-2 times a day.
Provide the right conditions and a SGFC can do wonders on its own. I know this for a fact.

I turn on my air conditioner for a few hours at a time and that gives good ventilation to my FC Considering it has no holes on the sides, only an almost open ended top. I fan and mist 5-6 times. Idk if this helps but I exposed all my jars to light, let grow invitro for 2-3 days then dunked for about 14 hours. The invitro gave it a nice head start I think and the air conditioner allows them to grow slightly slowe so they are chunkier

ok, but in no way shape or form does a sgfc maintain itself
