First grow. Tips apprecited

This is my first time attempting to cultivate mushrooms. I have ordered the Mushroom box mini as a fruiting chamber. I ordered 2 syringes of the Amazonian strain. I'm worried about keeping the right temperatures and humidity for them to grow. I'll be placing my chamber into a closet for discretion. I'm also worried about how many CC's to inject into each cake? How long should I keep the lights on during each process. I basically know the concept on how to go about growing, there's just a few small details I am worried about. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I think you would be better off searching the forum for each separate question you've asked there buddy. You'll get yr answers and learn in the process...not being a dick but that would prob be better for you than getting drip fed

As long as your temp doesn't go over 90 degrees you're good. Although 78ish is ideal. 12 on/12 off light cycle throughout. 1 cc each cake. 1/4 cc each hole (4 holes).

Thank you. And only 1 cc into each cake? Does it matter what size the cake is in order to determine how much spores to inject?

Use as little spores as possible...only a drop or 2 is needed per hole, but you can use up to 1cc/ml per jar....I like to strech them out...
Some people use way more than that, but it is not needed, and will not speed up colonization that much....it's just adding more moisture.
You should be using short half pints for cakes, or quarts for grains.....no it should not matter what size the jars are....only 2 spores are needed to colonize the entire jar, and there are 100's if not 1000's of spores per cc/ml.

Would you be able to give me an estimate of how many grams (dry) I will get from each cake containing 1 cc. Amazonian strain.

There is no way to know for sure, Amazonian is a variety, not a strain...yield is not based on the name of the variety....
You can get anywhere from 1-6 grams per flush, depending on different variables.....

Well, you can't have negative yield, so I think 3g, give or take 3g would be a little more accurate .

I'm growing out of Mycojar's and the fruiting chamber I have only has about a 3-4" clearance above the top of the jars, is this height too small? I feel as if they would start to grow out sideways or something. Should I assemble FC so that they have more room to grow? Or could I possible take the cake out once colonized and place on its side? It would reduce height and increase width?

3-4" is extremely short. If you can assemble a better chamber, do it, otherwise the mushrooms should just bend.

What would be the easiest way to add humidity to the small space I'm fruiting in? And I have LECA? Does that need to be washed off before placing in FC? Do fishtank temperature stickers do any justice?

It's been 8 days and still no sign of myc :/ is there anything I can do to ease my suspicion? Can I move it to a different room with a little higher temp? The room it's colonizing in is probably around 60-70 from day to night. Is that too much of a fluctuation?

Also I ordered the pre pasturized mycojar and it came with foil under the lid. Should I inoculate by puncturing through the foil? Or should I remove the foil then inoculate?

Don't remove the lid. Just punch through the foil
