Asking for pointers

Hey there first time growing mushrooms, i have three different strains from aloha medicinals, azul, columbus and js1 oysters, i live in Northern Maine so i figured those strains would be the best for our temperatures even our summers were lucky for 80 degree days, mostly been around 65-70 lately anyways i got 30 lbs of spawn and inoculated around 300-400lbs of straw eyeing it out. Any tips are encouraged because if i can get it to work id like to do this fulltime in the future. I did approximatly 100lbs of dry substrate in a 35 gallon drum heatedover a wood fire to almost boiling temperatures for around 8 hours. I then did the rest in large tubs of hydrated lime. I pasteurized in hydrated lime for approximatly 16 hours in which then i transfered straw to a shopping cart i alcohol'd down placed straw and then pressed down to get water out transfered appoximatly 20 ft to inoculation room wrung out and inoculated b patch micron filters. I only have a small room approximatly 10x10 in which i wrapped in plastic and sterilized with bleach i have a rubber roof piece cut into a door sealed around entry and another piece of plastic before entry. Im on a very tight budget so i wasnt able to get a hepa filter or condition controlling elements for the room hunidity is kept between 70-90%. Room has fresh air from entryway because unfortuneatly i didnt have the ability to completey seal doorway even with two entryways. The substrate was inoculated over a period of a week. There not on racks just strategicly placed together to tell the differeny strains im not worried that much about cross contamination just some ideas on the setup im hoping after this crop to retrofit a reefer trailer or old bus to accomodate a run room and fruiting room.

Some folks may be hesitant to comment on what appears to be a obvious commercial grow...

Why don't you find your way over to the gourmet and medicinal mushroom forum instead then? We like to break the law here.
