A few questions

So I've been reading up on some cultivation material and I read over the pf tek, but there are a couple things that I'm uncertain about and just wanted to ask to make sure I'm on the right track.
- When you puncture 4 holes in the lids for injection points, what are you using to poke through with?
- Can you sterilize your needle with a lighter or is it crucial that you sterilize it under burning alcohol?
- Also, do you sterilize between each injection, each jar, or after several jars?
- What's the ideal container to birth your cakes into, would it be one of those clear Rubbermaid ones?
- Also, what do you line the bottom of it with before you pop your cakes onto it?
- During what stages are your shrooms most susceptible to contamination, and is it possible for them to be contaminated later on even between flushes?
- Once you have your cakes birthed into a tub, does it need to have airflow or is it sealed? Do you open it up every few days to let it breath or what?
- Is the whole "indirect sunlight for a couple hours a day" thing crucial or unimportant?
- Finally, what's your personal favorite desiccant? What's the best bang for your buck?
I realize I made this post a bit lengthy and some of this material may be found by searching, but I'm having a hard time finding the info on my questions since they're particularly more detailed/focused than I find most guides to be.

1)something just big enough for your syringe to go through 2)lighter is fine and don't worry about the soot it's fine too 3)between jars 4)yes, build a sgfc 4)sit them on foil 5)colonization or the later fflushes like the 3rd or fourth as the mycelium weakens, always rinse well after you dunk 6)if you build a gfc your gold 7)it's not cruicial during colonizing but you want direct/intense during fruiting but a window close by will cut it 8)dehydrator ftw! 9) good luck!
