First time grow. Amazon strain. Halp

Hello, I was looking for some help/advice on my first grow attempt.
The strain I used was Psilocybe Cubensies Amazon. And my terrarium is made from a coleman cooler, vinyl tubing, empty coke bottles, and an ultra sonic humidifier.
I did all of this on my own and as a complete noob. I got my information from here on this site using mostly the PF tek and the Mushroom Growers Guide.
The beginning went amazingly easy. I sterilized everything in a pressure cooker and inoculated with ease. 24 days later my 9 jars were fully colonized. Two of the cakes were thrown out when i birthed them due to suspicious looking colors(brown). It has now been 17 days since they've been in the terrarium. In the beginning I struggled to keep the humidity consistent but for a week now it's been just under 90% at around 75-80 degrees without the humidifier even having to be turned on. It has been apparent that more mycellium has been produced, however there are many blue spots on the cakes now that i believe to be bruises. No pins though.
The whole setup was made at a friends house which is also where I gave birth to these little guys. I then had to transfer them to my closet(which has been cleaned thoroughly). In this move they fell over in the terrarium but i was as gentle as possible so they didn't take any violent tumbles or rolls in there.
Should I just be more patient and give them longer? I know there are many other methods and I haven't tried any casing or spray methods but they do not appear to be drying out, probably due to the proper humidity levels. Being that it's been weeks now if they do not produce do I need to just start over?(I have more jars colonizing of a different strain)Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

stuff a baby in a cooler and give it only the tubing and humidifier hook up and if he lives for more than an hour without suffocation then it's a good fruiting chamber for mushrooms.
it still blows my mind that people can follow all the directions to make a cake then not follow any directions at all when it comes time to get mushrooms. it's like doing a pullout before you need to cum.

At least if the cops come and say, "hey whats goin on there?" you can be like, "oh just a cooler" 

But really man read bodhisatta's link, build a shotgun fruiting chamber and you'll get some mushies

haha you all just made me feel soo retarded. But that's a good thing! I'm currently constructing a new setup, my only concern now is that i've let my cakes go too long outside of the jars in my shitty terrarium. I have new jars colonizing so it wont be a complete start over if they are shot but I guess I'll give it a try with the ones I already have
