First time grower help please

sorry if this is the wrong area to do this but i just ordered 10cc of spores on a website and I bought a BRF Bag off amazon Heres the description of the Brown rice flower bag:"We have simplified the "PF Type" brown rice flour mushroom growing technique even further for you. Yes it is simpler, costs less, and is easier to work with then traditional half pint mason jars containing the same mix. These bags contain 8 ounces of pure mushroom substrate, which is much more than others sellers use in half pint jars. No extra layer of vermiculite needed like standard PF Tek jars, so you get more substrate! Simply inoculate the bag with 2-4 cc of your gourmet mushroom spore solution or 5-8 cc of liquid culture, and let it grow! Out-Grow's Brown Rice Flour mushroom substrate mix is 100% sterilized and ready to use at your front door. The substrate has a light consistency after it is broken up that is very easy for mycelium to colonize. This mushroom substrate is enhanced with all necessary nutrients and moisture needed for healthy, large fruits. The substrate contains vermiculite, brown rice flour, multigrain flour and gypsum. There is no fragile heavy glass jars to ship so our shipping and production cost is much lower than jars. Our bags have a 0.5 micron filter patch for proper gas exchange while keeping contaminates out. You can fruit in vitro in the bag or in a fruiting chamber as you would a standard substrate cake. Nothing could be easier. Just inoculate and wait. For larger grows, the BRF bags can also be used as spawn for a bulk substrate. Normally from inoculation to fruiting is around 4-5 weeks. This mushroom substrate is one of the finest available. These bags are suited for beginner and advanced mycologists." I am assuming this is suitable and easy for a first time grower. So after colonization and the mycelium goeas around the whole bag what should i do? Tips please. Sorry for being noobish lol

Make a SGFC from part 3.
Wait a full week after full colonization before opening the bag and birthing the cake.
Then dunk the cake for 24 hours and roll in dry vermiculite...then place in the chamber.

I am still kind of confused. sorry :C Here is what i got out of it Im going to inoculate the bag of substrate which contains: vermiculite, brown rice flour, multigrain flour and gypsum. Let sit and colonize, . I am not aware if the dunk and roll would be able to be used.
For a terrarium: One big thingy with a lid. Drill holes. Put perlite all over bottom. take mycelium cake out of bag and put inside on a strip of tin foil? Mist the inside of the terrarium twice a day.
So is the Substrate bag pretty much an improvision of a pf method of the jars and after i can just pull it out when its fully white and colonized and put straight into a chamber. I am terribly sorry for my noobiness i am just new. The strain i got is Golden Teacher

Heres a VERY helpful link that will answer everything you got to ask. http://www.mushroomvideos.com/
Once the bags colonized, treat it as if it was a huge cake. Put it inside a PROPERLY built Shotgun fruiting chamber (1/4" holes on ALL 6 sides even on the bottom where perlite will be) and fan & mist 3 times daily.

Yeah i watched all of his vids hahah i just didnt know if the cake in the bag had to have different steps. But i think i have it all down thank you guys. My stuff should arrive in the next week and i will start inoculation because the bag is pre sterilized and sealed. I will most likely ask a question or 2. I will probably make my FC early and just get perlite and verm before hand thank you

Your on the right track. Having a FC built and ready means you won't have to stress over it in the future when the bags done colonizing.
