Help Needed, first time Grower...

I am gonna grow for the first time, have all my stuff, and syringes. Now, I wanna know if I am doing everything correctly. Here's the steps in detail, and please correct my error.
List: 1. Supplies. Vermiculite, brown rice flour (doing PF Tek), water of course, 2 jars (I am not gonna do a lot at once xD) two syringes of psilocybe cubensis Shrüms, and a Robbermaid (Rights avoidance) tub.
2. Knocking up my hoes. (I already mixed the pf Tek.)
Squeeze the syringes into the substrate, but focus on the middle. I heard that means when it looks colonized on the outside, it really is everywhere. Seal jar, assure cleanliness. (Possible technique clarification needed, what happens after syringes? O mean, how do I seal and clean?)
Wait for colonization. Then step 3.
3. Drop off or mush up or partially bury colonized substrate. This is where confusion ensues. A should there be holes in fruiting chamber? Or is it a technique thing? Pour water in it and use fish tank bubbler or no? Sealing? Other than that I think I am set...
-------------------- What are we but cosmic dust drifting through the ever expanding ocean that is the Universe? There is no point to our short consciousness but to enjoy what the universe provides, for it alone has a point for existing. We float aimlessly in the vastness of creation. Our existence is transient. The Universe, however, holds a profound purpose. Trapped within the cosmic bubble, we are fated to participate in its never-ending cycle.

You're using half-pint (8 oz) jars right. Anything bigger usually doesn't colonize well.
You're not going to get very much at all from 2 pf jars. I would do at least 4. That puts you around 1qt of sub, enough for 2 people to have a decent trip on the first flush. I like to make sure there's enough for 2 people anyway, I hate tripping alone, never as much fun.
2. The dry verm layer will act as a filter, no sealing needed.
3. 1/4" holes all over the FC in a grid pattern spaced 2" apart.

Wow, thanks. I'd say more but the vids summed it up for me. Much appreciated.
