 This is my first bulk attempt so I'm looking for advice. the spores are supposedly Penis envy uncut.
I went from brf to bulk. I spawned to straight Coco coir. The first shoebox I spawned is showing pins so I took the saran off lightly misted and fanned for 2+ mins. I put the saran wrap back on and poked holes in it for fae then I put everything under a 54w 6400k light
Does anyone have any tips or advice??

You could just go buy yourself a lid for that shoebox and use it instead of plastic. The lid, even when latched on a shoebox, provides all the FAE you need. Perhaps you will need a larger FC to fruit them in because PE gets pretty huge. Coir is great alone, but a Coir/Vermiculite mix provides better water absorption and allows the myc to breathe easily. Otherwise you're looking fantastic!

I do have a lid but it's not transparent.. I figured better light this way or does light not matter that much?
I do have larger totes I planned on putting the shoe boxes in when the fruits got bigger..or dub tubbing.
I was going to add vermiculite but I decided not to since the brf cakes already contained some.
How often should I be fanning the shoebox??
Thanks for the reply.

Honestly you don't really need to fan a shoebox. I don't ever fan mine, sure I take off the lid and check out growth; however literally just removing the lid causes enough negative pressure to cycle out the air within the shoebox almost immediately. Light is important but mushrooms don't need light like plants do. I only have one 5000k lamp in my grow, its not directly above anything or special in anyway. Coir/Verm substrate is my go to no matter what my spawn is adding to the mix.

I did a couple of shoeboxes with non transparent lids. I got a decent yield. I think the light received from the side walls is sufficient.

     Shoeboxes done with no fanning, no transparent lids, a couple of these I didn't even remove the lids on to check on them until fruits were pushing the lids off.
