Hey everyone,
I have a bunch of jars with verm and organic rye flour. Its been almost 2 weeks since ive inoculated them. Only a few jars are showing very little spots of growth. Most show nothing. Im worried that something is wrong. Maybe i didnt put enough water in mix?

This. And do you have tape on the jars? Take it off. You may just have slow genetics, some say some jars take 2 weeks to show growth. So, if your jars showed growth before the 2 week mark you may be good.

If you have some white myc growing then you should let them go! are you incubating the jars or are they at room temp?

They are at room temp. In my room thats around 76F. I have a digital and regular thermometer to keep an eye on it. I put 2 jars near my computer where its warm. There the temp holds at 78.
The Mix was a 2:1:1 of Organic rye flour(whole grain flour): medium coarseness verm: water.
I have foil on the jars, no tape. The lids are a bit loose too.
Its just a tad bit frustrating. I see posts about how someone has a cm of growth in a week and I keep wondering if i did something wrong.

My friend had this same problem with his BRF cakes. He also though he didnt have enough water and he also thought that he should've had more Brown Rice Flour than he did. His took 2 months to fully colonize.
Im glad i went with WBS, I knocked up my jars on 12-20 and this is what they look like right now
