How much air does the substrate need? Becuase right now I just poped a solid cap on the top and its not getting much of an air exchange... Is that bad?

Just don't pack the substrate too densely, then it should contain enough air for the mycelium to colonize fully. If you notice that colonization stops more or less abrubtly after some time, you could try unscrewing the lid for a couple of seconds to allow for some air exchange. However, I wouldn't recommend this, as it might introduce contaminants into your jars.

Yeah you can do that psilocybin monkey, but its not the best. Even though stamets says you need no air exchange, anyone who has tried using filter discs in a controlled manner can tell you that they work wonders. It really pays to give jars some air exchange after about 30-40% colonization.
