This is the place... lol. Your kit doesn't look as bad as some that I've seen but generally kits are only gonna get you a bunch of hate... lol.
That said, look into the PF tek and getting started with spore syringes... if you really want to get into it your better off learning agar...
Either way, best of luck!

Appreciate it! I’ll post an updated picture in an hour or so. I figured I’d get hate for grow kit but first time around just trynna see what’s up.
How long for spore prints last if kept in dark? I have one. I also have a syringe: I’ve read they can last 3-4 months in dark. Cool or refrigerator: would it matter?

How moldy is too moldy for you? I'll let the occasional 50/50 split tub fruit till a whole mushroom is consumed by mold. Last tub that was practically 50/50 mold and melmac; I got 6oz dry yield from the clean fruits.
As soon as I see it... lol. That shits going in the garage thats currently about 40*F at the very least... I don't like having any green anywhere in my room... I know if your (other) spawn is clean it shouldn't matter but im more "better safe than sorry" on it.
 This tub is too moldy to keep with the others, for sure. I'll let it ride outside, the mold oughta keep it warm enough at night. 
 This tub I let finish cause the incrwase in yield easily outweighs an early harvest. Cut the nasties off and keep anything healthy.

Prints can last up to a decade. I just used a few 14 month old syringes no problem, they were just in my fridge in a cardboard box.
Also for the new guy if you’re gonna do pf tek you should really get a couple little jars and put a layer of pf mix in the bottom. That way you can use it like agar and get a feel for if you want to get into plates or not while also getting clean myc.

I feel I often need to point out to people that if you successfully cross an albino cube like APE with a pigmented cube like a rust spored variant, the offspring with either be albino with hyaline or, it will be pigmented with rust spores. You will never see an albino with coloured spores.

I am gonna quote this because this is an important post and people need to read it again..... I crossed AA+ with PEU but the AA+ isn't a true albino and the result was caramel colored caps that followed the AA+ pheno with colored spores. AA+ isn't a true albino, but I just wanted to give an example to what Pasty was saying and how it is important to note that True Albino spores d not have pigment.

How’s this looking? It’s looking a little moist. Been fanning it for a couple minutes now. Opened up the fresh air ports so I’m assuming it should ventilate a bit better now.
Is there possible signs of infection? I’ve been doing some research and it’s not clumping up with white balls like I’ve sound.
And I’m sure it hasn’t pinned. It looks colonized? I poured it in when my jar had been fully white.
Does fanning yield more mushrooms or does misting?
Gonna sir by the window during the day for light.

Looks good to me. I would put the lid on it and leave it for a week.

Looks very healthy? Do you case?
Mushrooms have several triggers. Running out of nutrients is one, and then the introduction of fae and light. I don't mist and fan. I run a fogger with air stones and alternate between the mist and fresh o2. I use enclosed chambers because of the environment and with the substrate adjust ph to 7.4 except the top inch and a half at 7.8. Then case when I put to fruiting with about 1 cm of vermiculite adjusted to precisely 8.0. Trich can't live on ph 8.0. Doesn't cure all problems but I've had better pin sets and yield doing it this way.

Neither, but maintaining proper surface conditions will!

Vermiculite helps to create a proper climate for fruiting. Misting can cause aborts if you don't have a casing. With the vermiculite you don't have to be as diligent with Misting and fanning. Also helps prevent contamination. If you add peat moss to a casing adjust the pH. I learned that the hard way with 7 tubs at the same time about 2 years ago. It was devastating. I have not used since.

I haven’t messed with casings at all yet, other than the extra handful or two o’ coir on top. Probably would’ve helped my PE blob city, got some more on grains now, maybe I’ll mix me up a batch and see what it’s all about.

Vermiculite doesn't need ph adjusted. Just some boiling water brought to field capacity. Cool to room temperature and apply a cm
