Koh Samui/Blue Meanie Colonization Questions

So I'm a first time grower, I've been reading online a lot but I want some experienced people giving me some constructive criticism on what I can do better, what I am doing wrong, and honestly man just post some cool pics of your shoomies and show em off!! Let's have a conversation man. I used the bird seed tek, PC, inoculated 3 quart jars with 2 Ml's each (sadly I didn't relieve enough pressure in one jar so about 4 ml's got sucked in) I was worried at first and I still am but it's colonizing extremely fast. Right now I have them in a glass tank, I have a basic heating pad set under the glass, temperature stays around 80-84 degrees, I check it every hour haha. I also run a fish tank air pump with two hoses through the top, I figured it'd help the jars breathe but idk if that matters at this stage. Please leave some comments!

tank, heater, tubes, all can go. the jars can sit on a shelf just fine. keep your temps room temperature. 80 is too hot.
and here is a cool mushroom pic for ya

Can I ask why? I've been reading how a lot of people will put jars on top of the fridge, a heating pad etc to keep some moderate heat, I also read keeping it between 75-80 degrees. Some even stated they see better results by keeping it right at 85 degrees!! I'm not trying to be a prick I've just seen good results since day one, I'm only on day 11 after inoculation and they're spreading like wildfire!! I heard it was good to have fresh air exchange throughout as well, that's why I put IVS stuffed with cotton so they can breathe well! I love that picture man very groovy!!

If you overdo it just a little, as people have said before, you will kill the mycelium. I killed 12 great jars at temps less than 100 degrees. Candy thermometer said 97 degrees. You're 12 degrees away from killing your jars, unless you know for an absolute fact your temps are on point.
Leave them at room temp man. For real. Patience is a virtue. Cooking them won't make them grow much faster.

Hell yeah guys I appreciate the input. What about light? I've read on here as well that a little bit of indirect light can be okay for the shrooms, idk why? But I'm storing these bad boys on my storage closet. Should I keep something to help with airflow since it's really still in their? Or is that good?
