miracle gro perlite is fine in a fruiting chamber.
lightly fertilized is fine too despite what a bunch of other people are gonna say... i reckon they never tried it. i on the other hand i use miracle gro moisture control potting mix as my casing, have fabulous results, and have experienced no ill effects from the fertilizer. i'd assume the jiffy mix that's "lightly fertilized" will work just the same.

probably. what are the ingredients? is it the jiffy mix that's verm/peat?
does it give you an NPK rating? (three numbers, separated by dashes... like 1-1-1?) that will tell you how much fertilizer there actually is in it. the mix i use is 0.21-0.07-0.14

they sell it all over the place, its real easy to find, and less than 5 bucks for a good sized bag. hasnt failed me yet. great pinsets. no more contam prone than anything else. can use it out of the bag without pH buffering it, i nuke it in the microwave to prep it.

i put it in a bowl... wet it so that its moist. cover bowl with piece of saran wrap so steam won't escape and dry it out. nuke for about 2 minutes, let stand about 10. 2 more minutes, let stand another 10, finally 2 more minutes a third time, and a couple hours to cool.
if it dried out a little in the microwave despite covering, you can spread it on your substrate and bring up the moisture level by gently misting.

i have several fruiting chambers. 
they range from very small simple plastic containers that i keep as "house plants"
->  (a miracle grow casing in a little bowl)
a poor mans pod style rubbermade with an airpump/bubble stone and perlite that i do my experiments in with both cakes and small casings
-> &  (another little miracle gro casing on the right)
a monotub that i run on occasion
 (pic is obviously prior to putting the polyfill holes in it...)
and a martha/greenhouse type setup that's shared with a close friend that isn't here and i have no pictures of due to the paranoid no cameras near the grow rule of said friend. 
they all work... FCs need not be complicated... just supply your guys with their basic needs of light, air, and humidity and anything works really.
