popcorn. too dry?

-soaked 24 hours -simmered for 1 hour -PC'ed for 2 hours @ 10p.s.i. -let sit in PC for about 36 hours -inoculated with anywhere from 2-3cc into each quart jar
anyway, my popcorn a day after had tiny water marks where it pressed up against the glass, now....nothing, looks bone dry in there...
i have LC brewing right now that i plan on dosing them with if they dont start colonizing(theyre only 2 days old so im not expecting signs yet, just prepared)
is there any way to hydrate? or do i need to? pics prolly dont let you see it well enough to tell if its hydrated enough. popcorn is swelled to at least double or more, just looks reeeeeallly dry to me....but its my first attempt, so pros, i need some help!

am i just being ansy(sp?)
its been 4 days now(dont worry im not like hovering over my grains every second to see if there's growth)and the popcorn seems like its just getting dryer. in the teks ive looked at, these people had myc growth after 3 days, and one person even had full col. after 9. now i realize they prolly had some bad ass LC, and i just used a syringe from a vendor for 4 jars, but im a little bummed im seeing....arid popcorn.
i aquired some WBS also, where im going to use the same procedure as i did for the popcorn. hopefully i will be getting some prints soon and can make some bad ass LC

Don't worry about your popcorn. Once the spores germinate they really take off on it. And this happens with no visible moisture in the jars

4 days is not long enough, wait 14 minimum before declaring a jar a wash.
Dry is better than wet, as long as there is about 50% moisture content by volume.

5CC is a lot, what size are your jars? You don't want to get too much liquid in those jars. 1CC in 3 corners (so 3CC total) is plenty

Man I hope they come along.
I just did a search cause my jars are doing the same thing... they are only at 4 days but only one jar out of ten has the tiniest little speck of myc. But these other guys are making me feel good. I'm keeping my hopes up for a few more days
Good Luck!

If still fails after a few more days it could be how tight/loose the jar lids are, thats about the only thing I can think of.
