1. I suggest just building a simple SGFC and forget about the airpump.
2. Jars/bags/tubs/trays should colonize @ room temperature getting ambient/indirect light.
Main pinning triggers are full colonization, FAE and Evaporation off of the substrate.
Light is a secondary pinning trigger. For tropical species temperature is not a pinning factor.
P. Cubensis are a tropical species. You could colonize at 70F and fruit at 80F with great results.
Light has been proven beneficial during all stages of mycellium growth. Mushrooms like mammals have a circadian rhythm.
You want ambient/indirect light(on a 12/12 schedule preferably) for colonization and consolidation.
You want direct/intense 6500K light on a 12/12 schedule for fruiting.
Optimal temps are mid 70s throughout the whole grow, but anywhere from 65F-80F is acceptable.
Incubation is outdated/uneeded unless temps in the range stated above cannot be kept.
The inside of the jar is always a few degrees warmer than the outside because the mycellium produces heat..mycellium tends to stall at temps above 86F , and contams thrive.
Fruiting at cooler temps tends to produce denser, meatier fruits, while fruiting at higher temps will often produce hollow, less dense stems.

That setup sucks, and will yield you the shittiest results possible.
Whenever you hear the words "hydro" and "shroom", run the other way.
Go with mini SGFCs for cakes, and mini monotubs for bulk.

Thanks alot! Your replies are always really helpful. And ive heard bad things about the commercial hydro shroom kit as well, but i figured the set up was decent its just crazy over priced. But good to know! Ill make some sort of mini shotgun i think.
