My First Indoor Grow.. Thank you Everyone!

Hello everyone! Hope i posted this in the right place 
So this will be my first post. I have been Lurking for a while now and learning alot! This grow is basically a testament to all the Information and Helpful Knowledge that can be found on this site! So first off, THANK YOU ALL!! I have cultivated cubensis a couple times before-But Only OUTDOORs. Some good size B+ here. Mother nature generally keeps her own shit in check. Except for her chipmunks! Fuckin wheat berry fiends!
I Don't have a Pressure cooker so I always bye Pre-sterilized Rye Jars to start spawn. YOu only need to buy a few jars of rye. Then spawn it into Wheat straw or straight Horse Poo. Use your first patch to start two or three patches the next year, and the next year, etc... BUT i never thought i could make and sterilize my own substrate without a pressure cooker. Then successfully fruit it IN MY HOUSE!? With the millions of rogue spores and bacteria drifting around these halls.
But I really want some booms this winter,my outdoor patches are slowing down, and with all the helpful resources on this site, I have decided to go for it!!
I found half a syringe in my sample cooler that i had used earlier this summer to innoc wheat berries. it was about three or four months old. so i figured what the hell, ill try it out.
I watched the lets Grow Mushrooms series about 10 times and followed the TEK as precisely as I could for the creation of the substrate jars, sterilization, and the inoculation procedures.
The only thing different was I didn't have Half pint jars at the time. I was anxious to try it, and a bit experimental at heart... so i made 4 4oz and 1 12oz jar.
MUCH TO MY SURPRISE! no trich or others, and spores were still PLENTY viable. Guess, I am just a bit of a Jar Half UNColonized kind of guy.. The 12 oZ jar stalled for a few days with the incubator around 77*F, so i turned it up too around 82, It picked up but dosent want to get around the last bit of substrate..
If it finishes, i may try to run it into some Pasteurized straw...
I The 4 oz jars colonized fully in about 10 days. waited another 2 days then I Dunked them for 24 hrs and rolled in dry verm. The roll stuck better to some than others..


For my First Fruiting Chamber, I followed A TEK that can be found here on shroomery. The only thing different is that it is a smaller size/less geolite. ...I was feeling ambitious and have A good amount of spare hydro equipment lying around. I am Inoculating 10 HALF PINT jars Tomorrow, and I Will be building a classic SGFC When they are ready to be birthed...
Anyway, It was about 4-5 days before I noticed Pins. saw the first ones last night..
day 1-2 The cakes were Very Fluffy white. they stayed around 76*F. The Mycelium Seemed to be "Reaching" into the air. Some dots i thought might be knots. I thought The FAE might be low, So I started doing a quick fanning of the FC every 18 hours or so.. The FC does have 4 holes drilled in the top to allow old air out, but i figured it could help.
day 3 The temp has gone up to around 82*F I don't have air conditioning. There seems to be some actual knots starting to form but mycelium still reaching into the air. Sorry no pics of this phenomenon to show, no camera yet.
day 4 Humidity was low. I didn't have enough water to cover the bubble stones in the bottom of the FC. The air was NOT bubbling through the water and carrying the moisture upwards. I added another 3/4" of water. The cakes are only about 1/2" above the water line now. 12 hrs later...The rizho's seem to love it now!
 deffinate KNots. Covered 2 of the holes on top ot the FC with Microspore tape.
day 5 Primordia clusters..
 
Any Thoughts? Do these look healthy?
The Temps should drop to around 69* tonight and stay around 70-75* for the next few weeks. I am hoping the drop in Temp with encourage the primordia to take off!!
I am still very New to these methods so PLEASE any Critiques or questions are Welcomed!
I will update this upon harvest OR failure. 
Last Flush from an Outdoor Patch-
 
Hope it was enjoyable! The more I learn, the more I will Share! THANK YOU!!!

Thanks guys!! Pessimists have to know how to laugh at themselves! HA!
This little experiment has more than revitalized my Passion for Mushroom Cultivation. The way this organism Grows is Amazing and Mystical! 
just about 24 hours From the last Pics..Pinning is REALLY taking off now.


 
...I am going on Vacation soon, having a friend harvest for me, so these may be the last Pics... HOpe my Half PInt jars turn out This Good!! Inocculated them yesterday, They should be pretty well along when i get back in 10 days
