Temperature for Grain Spawn??

HI! I've ordered my 1st grow kit from Shroom Supply and am planning to inject the grain bags tomorrow. What is the ideal temperature for spawing B+ and Golden Teacher? I'm guessing I need to run a space heater to keep the temp regulated. Is a humidifier necessary for this stage? This is my first time growing and any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks Everyone for the info. I'm growing in my garage and the low is around 60 degrees at night but can be up to 80 in the day this time of year. I'm in no major rush so if lower temps take a little longer to colonize but are less likely to get contaminated I'm good with that. I inoculated the grain bags today and will post pics as soon as I see a change. Fingers crossed. Happy Halloween!

 I'm stressing that I skipped a very crucial step... I didn't put a flame to the needle before I injected into the self healing port of the grain bags. I did use the alcohol swab to wipe down the port and the needle each time and it was a brand new syringe with a sterile needle... Heating blanket seems like a very good idea @halfemptyjosh Do you put it directly underneath the grow bags?

@weaviewonder Most of my creative endeavors happen in my garage so I think it was just a force of habit. Do you think it would be wise to move them or will I disturb / disrupt the process?

It was medical grade swabs. My fingers are crossed and I'm hoping for the best. No visible changes in the grain bags yet... trying to decide if I should move them to a closet indoors or if that will disrupt the process.

HI Everybody. It's been 7 days and no sign of growth in any of the grain bags. I injected 2 ccs per bag... I did read that it can take a little longer to appear in a bag than a jar because you inject into the middle of the grain. I have a tendency to be impatient and I imagine the answer is going to be that it just takes as long as it takes... BUT I thought I'd ask a few questions...
How long does it usually take? I'd say that now they are in the closet its pretty much room temp. Should I add heating blanket to speed it up? And if so, do you put the bags on top of the heating pad or just put the pad near them or rig it above them?
Is this 1st inoculation step invisible at first and then all of a sudden you see a change?
If the spores I injected (half the bags were injected with B+ and the other half Golden Teacher) don't take can I buy more syringes and use the same bags?
Any and all thoughts and ideas are greatly appreciated.

I definitely did not break up the spores... I just attached the sterile needle and injected.

UPDATE: I finally see some growth! I did notice that one of my bags had some green mold so I immediately threw it away. I don't see any mold in any of the other bags.

Any concerns about how much water is in some of these bags? Is too much moisture how the green mold appeared in the one in the previous post? I'm feeling lucky that only one of 23 bags has green mold. Are there any precautions I should take at this point to prevent any more bags from getting contaminated?

How long does it typically take for the grain bag to go from this small amount of growth to 70%? I was told I should request part 2 of my grow kit (sterile compost) when I reach 70%.
Also, super annoying that I have to change the jpgs to pdf and that I can only upload one pic to each post. Is there a better work around on that?
