First monotub setup feedback

Hello fellas,
I just joined this site but have been using the great amount of information everyone has provided the last year, so thank you. This is my first grow and there is a plethora of different ways and ideas and suggestions and do's and dont's, opinions, recommendations, with all sorts of different years. I have consolidated the books I've read, forums and all the information from numerous website to understand a decent amount about mycology. But I have no experience growing.
I did a spore syringe to grain bags and I'm going to be using CVG with my 66Qt clear monotub, going to use the bucket tek. I have some LED grow light strips with a timer and 3 different light modes. I !am currently living in a basement(is not a dungeon with water dripping down the walls, creepy kind of basement) that tends to get pretty chilly down here during the winter and where I plan to put my tub.
My idea is to use a small indoor paint tent I got from Walmart but never used to place my tub inside and a heating blanket covering the bottom of the tent with my tub on top or my tub on top of a couple books to keep it off the blanket. My LED light strips are about 13 inches long each and was going to secure them on top of the lid facing down of course.
What are your thoughts on this? Any recommendations or feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks dudes

Spores to grain is bad.
Cold temps are bad, but heaters are probably worse.
Try the PF Tek

How cold is your room? You most likely don't need the heating pad at all. I'm also not sure if it would be better to try to top fruit the bags in a water tub rather than spawning them to bulk, they look a little sketchy to me.
Please read this link it's pretty much the current consensus methods most people are doing.

Actually they are perfect. Just did s2b and they were in excellent shape. It gets like 64 degrees sometimes especially while I'm at work.

64° is getting low, but not to cold. What's a s2b?

Spawn to bulk. It's when you break up the grains and mix it with a bulk substrate.
With bacterial spawn you can get better results sometimes by not damaging the colony breaking it up by just adding a layer of coir ontop.
Both have different advantages and drawbacks.
