would like some opinions... or help

Hello Everyone, I have been researching and educating myself about this hobby since November of 2019. I wasn't able to obtain any prints or syringes until January, I asked a local friend get me a syringe online, I made the mistake of not asking for a specific strain, my friend thought AA+ "looked cool" and that is what I received, I put the ms syringe to 6 half pint jars on January 11th, It seemed to go well, here is a photo of them

I waited til whole jar was white before spawning to shoe boxes, but I wasn't able to obtain any coir to pasteurize. I instead made more brf and vermiculite for the shoe box, and that is why I am afraid it may stall on me. I took this photo 10 days after I made this shoe box, and started to fruit Jars with baggies. 
I started my light cycle 12 on / 12 off on the February 10th, I haven't seen much change yet.

 I hope to get some fruits to print, I would love to trade for a bigger and quicker fruiting strain. If anyone wants to give away some prints, please let me know, I will pay it forward once I have prints Have a Great Day

IDK, your approach seems very haphazard, some mutant child of PF-tek and shoebox?
Good luck, but next time I recommend you pic a tek and stick to it.

That shoebox looks... good. I am amazed that it does since you used brf as bulk substrate. Did you follow some extremely sterile spawning procedure, or did you just get lucky?

Yea, I was following one, then hit a snag on funds and/or options. I am a lot better setup now with a PC and supplies for better run on future grows. I have more jars colonizing now, I know I have made it hard to get help, going off the trail so to speak. I plan to follow the next tek without variance. I hope I can get a print or two from this experiment. Thanks for the good vibes though, I'll keep my journal updated if you want to check on me later, All is welcome there

I was as safe as I could be with a SAB in a carpeted room, I got lucky I'm sure

It is quite popular and frequently suggested approach here to shred cakes and spawn to substrate in shoeboxes to increase yields and reduce maintenance requirements (less misting etc as box keeps good environment easier).
It is also suggested to try if cakes are badly performing or started to grow old to do this and perhaps get at least one more flush out of them (which is the approach one can argue against - depends on individual person and material availability).

I seen Bod's half pint jars fruiting, and thought under extreme case I could try to do same in shoe box, but time will tell if the ratios was/are good enough

Just a note after seeing your shoebox - it is looking to be on the right track but I thought that the surface looks more on the wet side (perhaps that is just me not seeing the picture right.
Are you misting it? if yes - perhaps, keep an eye on frequency so you don't do it too much. You should see small rolling beads of water on top of mycelium instead of small pools of water (not your case for sure!) or mycelium that looks soaked/soggy (perhaps - but I can't be sure from the pics).

I took those photos just after misting, it seems to dry quickly, I will start spacing my misting out, I have dry heat in apt, been cold outside lately, I will keep that in mind from now on, less mist and less often

Aa+ is probably the biggest mushroom on average that I’ve seen, you’ll have a hard time finding bigger ones.
100% colonization and fresh air seem to be the main triggers for pins, Cronicr made a tek for large brf cakes similar to yours.
