moisture content plays a big part in colonization times.

You can try unscrewing the jar lid, but not removing it. Just leave it loose. Seems to increase gas exchange.

My jars of WBS are sitting at a cool 66-68f and colonizing just fine :-D
If you want any real answers you'll need to go over your procedure in detail as well as your storage parameters.

Yeah, I think it could be a little cold in here.
I dont think its below 70degrees in here, but IDK ill get a thermometer tomorrow. I think I used enough LC. I PC'ed them.
I dk about water content, though. I soaked the seeds for 1-3 days. Boiled it first, etc..
I think the polyfill may be too tight..

Ive shaken them a few times.
my jars took about 3-4 days to show signs of myc growth.
Once it was growing on the sides of the tops of the jars, maybe like .5 inch spots of growth, I shook my jars in a circular motion to mix it in. When the myc was visible again I shook them again.
I just think they should be growing faster, especially since I used a LC.. I think there might be a contam in there growing where I cant see it maybe..
I already spotted green contam on all the jars I innoced with the OI syringe. So I know how to spot that.
Anyone got any extra big syringes for trade?
I think I need to start again, LoL.

There's your problem then. Each time you shake them you stall out the growth for a day or two. You only want to shake them once at around 40% colonization.

He's right, you should shake them only 2 times, once when you first put the lc in, then once it starts showing growth.

I usually shake when they look about like this:
Usually takes 5-10 days to get like that.
