Is my technique right?

I've had a lot of trial and error and contaminated batches from my last really moldy house and now im in a new apartment and want to be sure im not working with outdated info.
I took rye and cleaned it, then soaked it for 24 hours then boiled it and then placed it back in jars and sterilized it with a pressure cooker. i have tinfoil held down over filter patches with rubberbands. i inoculated with z strain in as sterile of an environement as i could create then placed the jars in a tub in my closet with an automatic heat sensor maintaining my jars at around 80+ degrees. Its been almost seven days and I havent seen any growth bad or good.

Take the tinfoil off and maintain the temperature at 75. The mycelium produces its own heat, 80 is too warm.

Light will benefit mycelium growth as well.

only problem is that my filter patches are a size too small so they cover the holes but arent held down by the lid so the tin foil is holding them in place but i will get the temp lower

I'm not sure if that will be problematic or not. Gas needs to escape. I'm not sure what your options are, cut vents in the tin foil perhaps? Maybe someone with more experience can chime in.

so you didn't glue the filter patch down?
take a picture of your jar and lid situation if you can.

like that but no glue?

tin foil isn't air tight it's sub-optimal but I would leave it on this time and make some better lids in the meanwhile.

I don't get how they could be too small the hole is 1/4 inch the SFD would have to be the size of a headache pill?

I mean for the whole lid, i bought them for narrow mouth jars and used them on wide mouth so the holes are covered but the SFD isnt held by the ring its just sitting on top of the lid

take the 1 sfd, cut it up into small pieces and glue them on over the top of 1/4 holes you drill in your lid. 1SFD= make more than one lid

thats a great idea, im assuming that implies i would have to inoculate by removing the lid in a SAB, do I also need to scrap the tinfoil all together cause your link still used it?

you have to take the lid off no matter what unless you make an injection port. but I personally just take the lids off in a SAB.
you can use foil or not use foil but it always comes off after sterilization.

It wouldn't, don't seal anything.

Superglue has no use in this hobby 
Sab shouldn't have sealed arm holes.
