Here are pictures after 5 days. Nearly half are like this (6 of 12) yet the other half show either small growth or little to no growth at all. Is that a sign of anything?
Well here are the pictures tell me how things are going.




and also if any one plays ps3 and MW2 im on the top up there maybe we can play sometime. Always inclined to new friends be on the look out or add me.

jars inoculated with spores can take a while to show growth. the cakes wouldnt have dried out in 6 days, just give em some more time

Whattttttt why did you use so much man? you could do 2cc's a jar if you wanted to. damn man so how are you going to do a LC? you should just dunk and roll them all as cakes and fruit all of them how ever many times they will flush, take a sterile print in the glove box, resterilize your syringes then make a spore syringe from the print or just scrape the print into the LC. or something i donno tell me what you had in mind

well i was high when i was doing it so i was just pumping away. It was my first time i just wanted things to go right. Putting more wouldnt hurt would it? well now i have lot. I mean I'm not tripping its not like I cant just order more syringes if needed. I think i was using about 2 Cc's in each hole. Oh well.
I was gonna let one of the cakes colonize and then break off some of it into a jar and just let it keep growing and just keep mixing it. Or throw a junk of mycelium into an agar grow and let it go. Idk how i was planning to do a LC now that I think about it but i did have my idea for casings.
I mean yeah I can always do that too, once they flush I can just start over again with a print too.

you used 96ccs for 12 jars. you only had like 40. I think the recomended amount for pf tek jars is like .25cc per hole leading to about 1cc per jar. if your 4 syringes were the normal 10cc syringes then you used about 3.3X more than you needed to.

Yeah i feel ya, the only think i could think of it messing with is the moisture content, but youre getting growth so you should be fine i suppose. dont buy new syringes unless youre that lazy or want a new strain :] just make your own, look up a sterile print tek and a syringe tek its easy squeezy :]
But yeah ive seen video of someone making a LC with a spore syringe and all you do is get both in the glove box, open your LC, squeeze a drop or two in, cap it and tape it. You can make agar media at home too look it up. Then you can reaaally start casing  You ARE talking about agar right?

Well if you had used 96cc for twelve jars that would mean you were putting like 8ccs into each jar. It's completely wasteful for one. but the main thing is it would throw your water content off which would make it easier for bacteria to grow. I've never done pf tek before but with those small sized jars 8cc would be a ton of water to be adding after they are already properly hydrated. Having things too wet will also greatly slow down how fast the mycelium will grow. If it's too wet in some spots it could stall out and just not colonize those portions.

If you really want to try making an LC I remember someone posting on here a while back about refilling used spore syringes with water because supposedly there would still be a small amount of spores left deposited in the syringe that didn't make it out. If you didn't like get your syringes all dirt or clean them out of something you should try that and see if it does anything.

hmmm with the whole water content thing i can see that being possible because some of my jars have not shown any growth yet but its also only been like 5 days. Half my jars are fine though right now. But now i know future reference.
oh well.
yeah im talking about agar grow I'll have to look more of it up. Egh im sorta bummed about using all my syringes if wasn't even necessary but I'm more bummed out that I could of messed up the water content. But oh well I mean there growing.
