First time growing!!!!

So, just like the title says, it's my first attempt at growing magic mushrooms. I'm using a BRF Tek with 1/2 pint wide mouth mason jars. I got enough substrate to fill 12 jars and pressure cooked them at 15 psi for 90 mins then left them in the pressure cooker for a few days until the spores got to me. I ordered Brazilian spores, is that a good strain? But, when I knocked my jars up, I was only able to get 8 jars with 4 holes because the syringe was hard to press in, so I accidently squirted some all over but I know it's because Im not used to it. Anyways, it's on day 3 now and I really had my doubts that this would work, but mycelium is already growing, and fast! This is a pic from earlier in the day, not even the best one and there's more growth already with no signs of contams, but sadly I kmow it's still early. I'll take more pics within the next few days.

Anyways, I'm using a PMP fruiting chamber, do I have to mist or fan it at all? I have the 2 airstrips running under the perlite with some water. Also, what kind of light would be best for it? Any advice/ feedback would be very appreciated!!!
Oh, and sorry if this kinda runs on, or is confusing, I'm very stoned right now xD

Welcome to the shroomery brother.
That jar is cute.
3 days off spores... That's impressive.

Welcome, you should remove the vendors name while mentioning cultivating active species, even though I read today ralphsters is leaving shroomery.

^This! Also, you should edit this post to NOT mention the vendor you chose... Common mistake.
Anywho, I prefer pmp over a shotgun terarrium. Most do not. However, once you get the hang I reccomend monos!
For lighting, I use those cfl energy efficient bulbs. Just make sure it says "daylight", or "6500k" on the box.
Good luck, and happy shrooming! @hoof... You still mentioned the vendor, dude lol

Its day 7 now. Jars have been sitting in a shoe box in my closet at about 69-78 degrees the past few days. The jars seemed to have grown alot over just two nights. Here's the jar that looked to be the most colonized, its hard to tell because they are all about the same!

Looks awesome man. Another week or so and you'll be birthing Them babies!

I used a fluorescent aquarium bulb in a lamp when I first started. If you only have one fruiting chamber it will work good IME. Mine was about a foot away from the top of the chamber.

i would suggest letting them breathe and give them some ambient light.

Should I take them all out of the box then and just leave them out in my closet? Or would opening up the lid of the box work?

i would let them breathe and sit them in a room with a window, also try not handling them too much or you will disrupt your verm barrier
neglect tek is best for cakes

thats ill advised to say the least. if your cultivating class 1 felonies you should only assume risk of yourself and not of others without their knowledge
