B+ First Grow (PF Tek) and First Trip - grow log

Hey Everyone,
This site has offered a wealth of knowledge to a rookie like myself. First, I want to thank everyone, especially the frequent commenters, for their valuable information you gave me, either directly or indirectly.
A week before Christmas I had inoculated 5 jars with B+. After months of reading and researching, I followed the tek and the advice of experienced growers as precisely as I possibly could. I used 1/2 pint wide mouth jars, 4 inoculation holes, PC'd, inoculated in a sterile environment, uncovered the inoculation points and waited patiently.
One month later, I have 2 fully colonized jars, 2 80% colonized, and 1 with no germination whatsoever (don't think I got the needle in far enough - noob mistake). But no contams!
I built a SGFC with 1/4" holes every 2 inches, 4-5" perlite, cakes sitting on foil, misting and fanning 3 times a day with 6500K light on a 12/12 schedule.
I birthed 2 cakes, dunked for 24 hours and rolled in verm. When dunking, I placed them in cold water, but did not put it in the fridge and did not change out the water for 24 hours. I assume the water naturally raised temp a bit, but it looks like it did not affect the cake adversely. Should cakes always be dunked in continuously cold water?
I'll be posting pics as soon as I get home this afternoon. I saw a few small pins in one of my jars right before birthing. And now I have more pins and they're all getting slightly bigger.
I wanted to start this log to keep up with my process since its getting close to harvesting fruits. Did I mention that I've never tripped before? I've smoked weed and taken a few pills here or there, but nothing extreme. I'm very excited that I have chosen to take this journey and to know that my first trip will be from mushrooms I cultivated myself.
This hobby is slowly taking over my life 
Thanks to everyone. Pics coming tonight!

best trip will be your first one especially since you harvested them yourself. I've eaten mushrooms hundreds of times to only have recently eaten my own grown 3 weeks ago and realized and experienced a way more powerful trip since i put my own time and effort in to the growing of them and for some reason that alone made me trip out harder vs. dealer shrooms. cheers brotha and you have gone down the right path and everything sounds good. looking forward to seeing pics and hearing about your first trip experience. -TheLostBoys
