Attempting to grow some B+ mushies! I'll be posting pics and asking for help along the way. I want to do this right! I inoculated my jars two days ago and am beginning to see a very small amount of mycelium growth on a couple of the jars. I'm keeping them in the closet at 80 degrees. I've kept the foil on five of the jars and taken it off on the other five. Any tips regarding when to take off? Also, I have them in a (very sterilized) drawer. Is this providing enough air flow? When should I see more growth? Any tips for the B+ strain in particular? I'm excited and any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

take the foil off, it will cause your verm barrier to become damp over time

Well, don't take it off if you don't have a lid on it. Remember some teks call for foil over foil.

I went ahead and took the foil off after reading the first post. I do have lids on all of them.
I took a few of them out of the drawer for you to see.

Here's a closer picture of one of my jars.

Thanks! I'll check on them in a couple weeks then 
In the meantime, gotta build my terrarium! Thinking about buying an ultra sonic humidifier. Good idea?

Seems to work fine for me. But I'm lazy.

Also, notice the fully colonized TALL cake :P
