FC - Closet Grow - Suggestions?

[Envy422]

I'm, of course like most posts, are a noobie to the grow world and just have a few things I'd like some help with clarifying or some of your tips to my planned methods.

The space I've planned to place the FC is a small enclosed space with basically a hidden door. Unfortunately I don't have the privacy I'd like as the house is currently up for sale.

1. I'm under the impression the FC is meant to stay in a dark area about 70 degrees F, but flash it with a cool white fluorescent lamp for 6-12 hours of the day?

2. I understand the FC needs air circulation to releases co2 and allow fresh air. Will being in a small enclosed space like this not allow enough fresh airflow? I plan to build something along the lines of the "poor man's pod"  ( http://www.shroomery.org/9047/Poor-Mans-Pod ) with the auto air exchange but I'm still unsure if the closet would get enough air?

3. Since all the FC and methods I've seen have holes and recommend airing and so on I'm under the assumption the risk of contamination at this step is gone? I don't have to worry about keeping my FC sterile?

4. I've seen methods that place the cake directly on whatever fill they've used at the bottom of their FC and I've seen layers of foil put down as trays.. If using perlite in FC like the above "Poor man's pod" - what is recommended?

5. I have been told by a local grower that if I'm growing from multiple spore types I should use separate FC for each type... Is there any truth to this?

6. Completely off the wall ... I have a ton of mini fridges laying around the house... I had the thought of possibly using one of these for a incubation chamber? Has anyone tried converting a mini fridge?

7. During any process of the grow - for instance incubation - should I avoid checking on them frequently and allowing light in or heat out or will it not effect it significantly?

I apologize my post got so long and if these questions are obvious stuff I should understand. I think I'm doing too much research and I end up seeing so many different methods I start to question things and get confused lol.

I appreciate any and all help and tips

Sorry to add more questions

After the incubation and the jars are fully colonized how long can they stay in the jar before going into the FC without risking damage?

If even possible to store for any period of time what damage can be caused if the cakes are not removed from the jars at the proper time?

What are the ideal conditions they should be kept in? For instance if they had to be transported from where they had been colonized to a different house to be placed into a FC

Hopefully I'm even making sense lol T

Sounds like you need to do a little more research. I don't have a shitload of time right now to answer all your questions. Your incubation chamber needs to be dark and in the mid 70s. Your FC needs to be fanned or vent holes or both. The FC also needs light for at least about 6 hours. If you look on this site I remember seeing a post about what kind of light to use if you can't get sunlight. I'm sure others will help you out.
