Take out that tape, the cakes need to breath, your verm barrier is acting like a filter... contams won't enter unless you disturbe the verm barrier.

You can use micro-pore tape but it's not necessary if you have the dry verm.

Alright sounds good.
And once they all are completely white should I still wait an extra week? Or should I move on to the next stage as soon as possible? (especially because of the pin)

I would still wait a week because that pin ain't shit you will get more mushrooms in total if you consolidate them. I bet those jars take off within the next 24 hours they're like I can breaaatthhheee!! 
Or you can birth the one that has pins at 100% and consolidate the ones that don't. Usually if it's pinning and at 100% it's safe to birth.

Thanks. I am going to wait probably for all 4 at one time unless the pinning starts to get ridiculous or something. Quick question about the chamber. How close should my light be from the cakes (using a normal desk lamp w/ 6500K light bulb).

I also had major trouble during inoculation due to the syringe getting clogged. I've had growth on 6/10 jars but very small on the 2 not in the pics.
During inoculation I accidentally released 1cc into a single inoc point due to a clogged syringe. And then had to divide up giving .5cc to the last couple jars. Do you guys have any tips for the next time i inoculate?
I used a normal 10cc spore syringe with a makeshift glove box.

If you stick with brf jars try an lc. You can expand a few spores to inoculate an ass tone of jars instead of using a whole syringe.

Better yet, move on to agar and grains. It seems daunting at first but its easy peasy.

I've done it using steam in a covered pot. The only problem is that it's hard to spot contams in an lc so its kind of a crap shoot sometimes.

Shit I grew pounds of mushrooms from a single LC made with a salsa jar and a pot. Wouldn't recommend it though maybe I just got lucky.

Close as you can without heating up the chamber.

Forgot to mention that the duct tape was there to act as an extra condensation barrier during sterilization. I did not want any H20 entering the inoc holes. Is this needed and then just remove tape afterwards or skip all together?
