Coir Monotub questions & pics inside

So I decided to make jars with oats and verm after reading what success people had with it. I have to say it was certainly easy to sterilize and much cleaner compared to WBS, but I think I might have made a mistake by buying the fine type of vermiculite. As you can see, it seems only one jar colonized per syringe, which is strange to me considering there were many spores in each syringe. Any idea as to why this might have happened?




The great thing is the jars haven't shown any sign of contams so for now I'm just letting them sit, I'll probably dump everything in another few tubs soon. For reference, the completed jars have been fully colonized for ~1.5-2 weeks.
These are the jars spawned to coir and the growth they are showing at 5 days. Is that clumpy look normal?



Thanks for reading!

Oh, the first and second jars are from one syringe, the third and fourth from another, but pretty much every syringe went the same way - 1 jar fully colonized and the rest showing little signs of growth.

not sure what's up with the clumpy colonization, but an entire syringe per qt jar is likely messing with the water content in your spawn jars. 1cc/qt is plenty.

Perhaps I was a bit unclear, but I split one syringe between 4 qts, roughly 2cc per jar. The problem is that only one jar per each syringe seems to have colonized effectively.

2cc is still more than enough, but less worry on the water content being too high. still though, you can "stretch" each syringe to 10qt jars if you want to maximize your resources.
did you shake and flame sterilize between each jar? and what was your spawn ratio in that tub?

about 1:3 spawn:coir, but as I noted not all of that spawn was fully colonized.
It's looking much better now, so I assume the clumpiness was just from poor ratio of fully spawned oats, but I still don't know why only one jar colonized.
Will post more pics later.
