Im using the PF tek w/ vermiculite and BRF. I am just kind of confused about what i do after they are fully colonized. I just want to know where i should store them/ what kind of light and how much should i give them/ and if they don't pin, should i put them in the fridge over night. This is my first time and any help would be great. Thanks.

Once they are fully colonized you should let them sit for one more week at room temp. This will give the mycelium time to establish itself better before fruiting.
After that, you will want to remove them from the jars by sliding them out into your hand. Wipe / rinse off the vermiculite barrier and put them in a pot of water to soak for 24 hours in the fridge.
Once this is done, take them out of the dunk and rinse them again, and roll them in dry vermiculite. Place them in the fruiting chamber at this point, and a few hours later mist the vermiculite well to hydrate..
Give all the proper fruting conditions such as RH 95-100%, high fresh air exchange, and light for 12 hours a day.

you shud do a little reading on the pf tek about how to construct a fruiting chamber. but the easiest way to fruit a cake is to dunk and roll. wait 5-7 days after the cake is fully colonized birth them submerge them in water for 24 hrs in your fridge take them out and roll them in dry verm put them in your fc wait a half hour and lightly mist the verm just to get it moist.

Roger Rabbit told me about it. they've been around a long time. and anything they say has a lot of truth to it (members with over 5000 posts). . i just did it with a batch about a week ago. its the easiest way to fruit a cake and dunking them brings up the moisture content and will help w bigger flushes. u cud also spawn crumbled up cakes to something and then case it. that is what im onna do with my next batch of jars just to get my feet wet with casing then i will move to grain teks. this is my first grow also but ive done alot of reading on this thing in the past 3 weeks. and its proving to do really well with the batch im growing now.

Whenever I dunk my cakes, I put them in the fridge. This isn't to cold shock them though(they don't need to be cold shocked), instead it's to keep the chance of contams down by keeping the temperature low. Next dunk and roll, then put in the FC and mist just like johnnyboy said. Also you want as much light as possible, as long as it's not producing too much heat. Fluorescents are the way to go. Go for the Natural Daylight ones (or something like that, the ones that are like 6500k). Whatever you do, aim for something higher up towards the blue end of the spectrum. Note, do not use bulbs that are colored blue, it's not the same. "Blue" light in this sense isn't referring to the actual color of the light, but which frequency of light it emits.
