Ask yourself were the jars cool when you inoculated?
If they were, then just sit there and wait. You can't really do much else. I would wait 14 days before i gave up.

I have had this problem with ordering from a certain vendor (no growth)
wait 2 weeks, if nothing has showed up then its probably one of two things.
Vendor sold you bunk spores, or you didnt let jars cool and killed spores via hot temp .

I have used that vendor , and I have had success.
Do you remember if you let the jars cool? if you did w8 and see . Ask if you could get a refund or exchange if no growth appears .

I feel like it is a good thing to always wait a minimum of 24 hours to make sure the inside of the jars have cooled down appropriately. So you don't waste spores.

14 hrs is plenty of time. Just be patient.
Did you aim the needle to the outside of the jars rather than the middle? If not, the growth will start in the middle of the jars, which will take longer for you to notice growth.
Patience is the hardest thing to learn when starting out, as well as learning not to use a shitload of spores to inoculate. I've made 8 cc's stretch to 10 qt jars before with growth in all of them.
But as previously stated, give em 2 weeks and then if there's no growth you can start to worry.

spores take several days to weeks to germinate. most results on these forums are from LC or agar, already growing mycellium..which colonizes much faster than spores.
no worries buddy, theyll take off eventually. DONT get discouraged and raise the temp, 70 is perfect.
