After inoculation storage 1

Doing the pf tek and inoculated last night. I can't decide where to keep the jars. Can you guys help me decide. Please help.
1. Kitchen cabinet. Pros: clean and somewhat sterile. ( wiped down and no drafts ) Cons: temp with door closed is probably on the cool side 2. Bedroom Pros: warmest room in the house Cons: the wife and I breathing,sleeping and all other stuff couples do. Small room door always kept closed to keep cats out. Basically not as clean as a cabinet 3.living room book shelf Pros: high up and warm Cons: exposure to light ( not direct ) and potentially the cats. Not as clean as cabinet 4. Is there aonething I should build and use to keep the jars in ? I researched and couldn't find anything.
What's my best bet people. I need answers please
P.s I'll never use tape again. After I inoculated I tried removing the tape for there to be better air/gas exchange, but the tape doesn't come off. I had to scrape where the jokes were with a knife. It was a disaster. Now there's lids with gooey tape all over them just begging for contamination

You don't need to store the jars somewhere sterile. That would be pretty unrealistic. Ambient light is thought to be beneficial so don't worry about darkness. I either put em in a cabinet or on a shelf. Incubation is unneeded but sometimes I keep em in a tote just to keep the sporeload a little lower on the filters (in your case dry verm layer). Its not really something you are even going to think about much in a few months.

Use micropore tape and you can leave it on because it allows GE.
I put jars in gallon size bags to help with spore exposure like pastywhyte does with a tote.
Then place them in a box in a room that stays around 70°F to 80°F. Come back once a week to check on them. When finished and consolidated - birth, dunk, and spawn to CVG in trays or roll them in verm and put them in a SGFC.
Colonization is the easy part. Inoculations/transfers and fruiting is where problems normally arise for me

Just put them on the shelf where you can see them so you don't have to pick em up to inspect them...

Well my bedroom is the only room holding the right amount of heat. So should I just go with it. I thought all the breathing and farting at night would be bad for them. We have to keep the door closed . And if I put them in a tote I would think they won't get proper air/gas exchange. And in the tape issue. I believe the tape allows air exchange when fresh. After it's been through the sterilization and heat it's pores are ruined.

Haha, nice.
I have two jars I left out as a test. Well honestly I just got lazy and they were behind. One just has micropore tape (the slowest) and one has felt held on with micropore tape (silcone is annoying to glue felt on with for me). They have been sitting in with the dirty dishes, like bad dirty. They were only like 20% when I left them, and shook them.
They have done extremely well. The felt is at a 100% now, about 6 days later, no contams.
Dunno how nasty your farts are but I bet they'll be fine.
