First time with grains..incubation question

Hey guys, I recently bought a used pressure cooker for 20 bucks, so i figured id try WBS. So I bought a syringe from spores101, for some reason I was 99 percent sure they were a sponser (im an idiot).
My syringe wasnt like the previous syringe I ordered from thehawkseye, I didnt see clumps of spores, but I figured theres probably still spores just not as many.
Anyways, I soaked WBS for 24 hours and drained. Didnt simmer them. Filled 5 quart jars about halfway, put on the metal inner lid with a pollyfilled hole in it, tyvek over that, then ring. 2 layers of foil over it all, pced for an hour, let cool and shook.
Took off the foil and put about 1 cc in each and put a coffee filer on, then shook again and threw them in my incubator. Heres where the question is. My incubator is a 3 ft wide by maybe 2 feet high. In there i have a heating fan, once it gets to the heat set on the dial it shuts off, so it hardly runs in there. I got it pointed towards a corner with a small tray of water, because I read heat fans make it really dry.
So the thermometer is next to the 5 jars at the other side. The highest temp its been is 81 and the lowest is 72, its around 75-78 most of the day, with a rh of around 37-40.
Will my jars do ok in there? Any suggestions? I heard its best to just leave the jars until a week after inoc date to shake and check for contams. Thanks Guys!

You shouldn't have shook after you inoculated.

Humidity shouldnt matter at this point, your temps are fine, it will just take longer for the jars to colonize at lower temps. Most people seem to believe incubators are a waste of time.
I am still noobish myself so take my advice with a grain of salt.

You might have wanted to PC a little longer than an hour. I go 90 minutes when the PC is loaded to the tits. The dry heat could dry out your jars over time. Depending on how big the gas exchange was etc. Yeah I find it's best to wait until you see some good growth before shaking jars when using spores.

Yeah, I think its because I look at so many differant posts on here, with searching and stuff, and I think i was in a thread that was talking about them being good and a sponser. And i forgot that most things i search for are topics 2-5 years old haha. So yeah we can see what happens. Worst comes to worst i'll be out 15 bucks and just buy a new one from that fella that gives you the strain of the month for free if you ask, now theres a vendor who knows how to do business

You did fine...just the fact that you shouldn't really "shake" the knocked up spawn right away. It'll take off and once it's moving along fairly well then you can lightly move it around in the jar to speed it up.
For future references, though, hover over "Home" at the top and sponsors is near the bottom. Or:

Good luck!
P.S. Ralphster is the one that has the strain of the month upon request...

Innoced these at around 8pm on the 18th. Peeked today, don't see any growth yet. You think this syringe from spores was a dud and i should buy another one? (From a vendor this time) Like I said, i didnt see anything in the syringe even when i used a magnifying glass.
So not real sure what I should do at this point. I got some karo LC made up i just need to PC it. That will be the ultimate test to see if the syringe was bad.
Thanks eeryone!
