How long will the spores last in a syringe? Could I save them for maybe a week? And if so could I use a little and save a little?
And lastly what amount of light exposure (And will normal household lights work?) do I need at what points of growth?
Thanks of course and agian and again

A. Spores will DEFINATELY stay good in a syringe for a week. Spore syringes have been known to last for months in the right conditions. You could save a little of your syringe, but you are also increasing the chance that you will get contams. Personally, I would not save any.
B. When you are attempting to fruit, you will need light to innitiate pinning. The light method I have used in the past is 12hrs on 12hrs off. This worked well. The whole purpose of the lights are to guide the mushrooms while they are growing, in other words the mushrooms grow towards the light. Normal lights will work, just make sure the lights aren't giving off excessive amounts of heat, this could harm the mushrooms.

Argo: Ok so 12/12 for fruiting, but previous to that? While casing do I need any light exposure? I know for the jar process that none is needed and the less the faster growth.

Nope, You don't need light until you want to initiate pinning.
