it depends on the strain and spore concentration some strains colonize faster than others but it looks like nice healthy myc to me

hmmmm... your colonized quickly compared to mine... I did Koa Samui too, they're supposed to be very quick and aggressive colonizers. I'm going to assume you did a multi spore syringe. Were there big clumps of spores in your syringe or was it relatively clear? What temperature are you incubating at? What strain? Sorry for all the questions.

nono its ok i like answering question im learning and you guys help me so ill answer any question the strain is Hawaiian Psilocybe Cubensis and my temps are between 84f and 86f but at night i take me lid to the incubator off i dont know why i just wanted to see what happens lol and the spores they were like a dark purple kinda big i could see them i shaked the syringe up pretty good and they got a little smaller tho but yes 8 days now and its even colonixing the bottoms of the jars a little bit im guessing 6 more days and they will be ready for dunking also im going to dunk these cakes think this is a good idea for Hawaiian Psilocybe Cubensis im going to dunk for 18 hours not 24 i think 12 is to less and 24 is to much so im going with 18 hours and then im going to roll them in some Ver and cover them like you would battered chicken and im useing prelite and i have a question
What kinda lite should i use in my FC? if i should use a lite should i? is i need one what kind and how high from the cakes should i place it

Daylight works ok, but for optimal conditions a fluerescent tube in the daylight range (6000k-7000k) you can get a cpl fluerescent that will be more than enough for cakes in a small fruiting chamber.

Thanks for your answers. As for YOUR question, Veda hit it... 6-7000 Kelvin. The compact flourescent mini bulbs are good for these color temperatures. All the lights in my house are of this variety. If you do use one make sure it produces a white spectrum light as they're almost all in the 6-7000K range.

U dont need to shake pf tek jars, this will disturb the dry verm layer which is your contam filter, meaning more of a chance of contam spores getting past the verm barrier into your substrate.
Leave them alone for a week then check on them

You can use any size, of coarse the amount of spores you load the syringe will depend on the syringe size. 10ml is pretty standard, that is generaly what you get from vendors, an 1/8th of a good sized print should make a 10ml syringe.
Dont make them dark, lots of spores is not nessesarly a good thing. Too many substrains etc
try using the search feature
