Growing temperatures

Hey first time grow here, my cakes are getting close to being ready to come out of their jars. I've been looking for a list of the right temperatures and Rh for the whole growing cycle and haven't been able to find it. I've seen some places tell you one thing and another place will tell you something else. I'm really looking for something that will tell me the right temp and Rh for each part of the growing cycle. Thank you guys for helping me. I've been reading this forum a lot through the process and you guys are what has made it possible for me to grow these mushrooms. Thanks.

Jars/bags/tubs/trays should colonize @ room temperature getting ambient/indirect light.
Main pinning triggers are full colonization, FAE and Evaporation off of the substrate.
Light is a secondary pinning trigger. For tropical species temperature is not a pinning factor.
P. Cubensis are a tropical species. You could colonize at 70F and fruit at 80F with great results.
Light has been proven beneficial during all stages of mycellium growth. Mushrooms like mammals have a circadian rhythm.
You want ambient/indirect light(on a 12/12 schedule preferably) for colonization and consolidation.
You want direct/intense 6500K light on a 12/12 schedule for fruiting.
Optimal temps are mid 70s throughout the whole grow, but anywhere from 65F-80F is acceptable.
Incubation is outdated/uneeded unless temps in the range stated above cannot be kept.
The inside of the jar is always a few degrees warmer than the outside because the mycellium produces heat..mycellium tends to stall at temps above 83F , and contams thrive.
Fruiting at cooler temps tends to produce denser, meatier fruits, while fruiting at higher temps will often produce hollow, less dense stems.
Mycelium should be exposed to ambient room light from day of inoculation as has been known for many years. Light is not a pinning trigger until after full colonization and an increase in air is given, and even then it's a secondary pinning trigger. RR

Thank you so much that was very helpful. It's my first grow and I made 7 jars and I have had zero contamination, I feel very lucky that i didn't lose any jars.

I begin to wonder how many times this is copy/pasted. At best, I guess it's nicer than making some condescending remark about the search function.
