 First attempt! questions on last page

alright guys, so here it is.
my first attempt.
used brf cakes.
It's been about 10 days and this is how the currently look
had a little trouble getting 1/4 cc in each hole, but eventually got the hang of it. for that reason, I only have 6 jars nocd atm.
3 of them are in a box, in a room, wrapped in a towel
   
ones in the bathroom cabinet, growing quite nice.
  
ones above the stove, seems to be taking it's time.
  
and another was recently in a drawer that averaged temp of about 68 degrees. I just recently moved it near the heater. however, I was only able to noc one hole.
most rooms stay about 70 to 75, I turn a space heater on overnight for the three in a box because it gets cold at night.
hows everything looking so far?
comments?
tips?
all feedback is welcome.
Will constantly update with new pix as they progress ^-^

 thank you, thank you;)

Jars can be kept out in the open at normal room temps... no towel needed -no darkness needed.

This ^
And also, don't use a heater, room temp will be fine. Temp swings are not a bad thing.
Try not to move your jars around very much, cos the dry verm layer can shift and contams can get into the substrate this way... If you feel like touching them cos you're so excited, do it with care!

Yes ambient light is healthy, and your myc looks good.
Do you have a shot gun fruiting chamber ready yet?
If not, build one. It will help you not mess with your jars

I've got a SGFC that I made... not sure if it's big enough though, there perlite in it now to see if it would hold humidity.
 
have holes every 2 inches on all 6 sides.
think it's too small?

It looks a little shallow, the mushie need headroom to grow and you need 4-6" of perlite
It may still work though

I mean you'd be surprised what you can get away with if you give them proper care during fruiting. But it does look on the small side. Ideally, you'll want 3-4 inches of perlite.

Looking great for only 10 days.
What was the trouble with injecting? I am guessing you might have used too much. If so check my tips.

It's SOOO easy to squeeze too much. I guess I'll get better. Typical newbie type mistake.
Theres a trick to stop this, do not use the syringe like people typically do. I am right handed, I grasp the syringe in my right hand making a thumbs up sign, the plunger end is sticking up with my thumb under the bit you usually press down with your finger. So if I gave a thumbs up out straight the needle is facing the floor.
My right pinky finger is gripping the body of the syringe at the 10ml sign
Now you can press down the plunger with your left hand while actively pressing upwards with your right thumb. This gives you good control. If a syringe is unused for a while the rubber seal will be subject to static fritcion (aka stiction). If you use a syringe in a normal manner the moment this stiction is overcome the plunger will tend to move far too much due to the force you are applying and the fact nothing is stopping the syringe from going all the way down.
You can do it with just 1 hand too, just practice with water.

I didn't state the obvious, but as the syringe empties obviously my pinky finger moves down the body with the print on it. You can get decent control with just 1 hand too, I usually only use the 2 hand method with a syringe which has not been used in a long time. With the 1 hand method I clench my fist around the syringe. When full my little finger wrapped around the syringe body (with the print) and my other 3 fingers grasp the plunger shaft firmly and my thumb presses down. So the plunger shaft is stopped from moving quickly by the friction of my fingers. As the liquid gets used up I put the next finger on the printed body. For the last 2ml my forefinger is just pressed against the underside of the plunger shaft which again just stops it being able to jump down too much.
Another 1 handed method is having your 3 fingers grasp the body with the printing, and your forefinger wrapped around the plunger shaft which provides resistance. Then press down with your thumb in a controlled manner. As said, just practice with plain water and see what suits you best.

The only thing in the pic that suggests the size of the tub are the holes (2 inches apart) and it looks like the right size.
You gotta add way more perlite, though.. 3 to 6 inches is fine.
Also, raise the tub above the floor using cans or whatever (one in every corner) to allow air currents to do their job better.

FC is 5 1/2 inches tall by 11 inches tall, so I'm guessing it's too small?

The tub is shallow but it's going to do the job just fine. Remember, more perlite and raise the tub above the ground

it is not really taking its time, even it is great growth for 10 days. I would consider moving the others to cooler spots as they may be too warm which can encourage contaminants.

Awesome man! take pix and keep em posted! I went way overboard trying to keep them at the "perfect" temp and was always trying to sneak a peak at them, went out of town for two days, came back and bam! saw serious work started haha.
now comes the last waiting part, until they are 100% colonized, the fruiting chamber actually needs my attention haha

thank you, thank you;)
