It was probably stunted, does the sub look moist and even?

normal grow temps for cube should be 68-78 degress.  Save some money and take the heater back..

You'll  be ok. I dont heat my house and had success  in the 50-60 range. It just colonizes slower. Im never in a rush tho like most people. Lol

Definitely stray away form floor heaters anyway, the convect poorly and conduct extremely well, which leads to cooked mush buddies :frown:. And if you sealed properly all of the water that has been in there still is, so you're probably fine without adding anything

So what about the adding of the water cuz they are a little black tinted, but im pretty sure its not contam since its on all the jars, all the way around, would i risk messing them up by adding water, or should i just leave them to there own doings for 2 weeks then check em out, any help is great considering i stalled out my first grow by changing habitats alot

You don't need to leave them in the dark, the cool temps were probably slowing them down and the heater will probably quicken it although unnecessary, wait maybe another week? I didn't see one of my jars germinate until the second week but I used a tower heater to bring temps to 78 for a bit.

Where did you get your spore syringe from?

It may be contams, it may be that they're cooked! The myc will puff up and inevitably shrivel into little noodles, no color change should be appartent

I got my Syringe from Ralphstersspores.com and i have then wrapped in towels so the heat cant really cook them off (i think), but so far the only thing thats happened is the light black all over the jars, posting pics in a min!

Towels = not a good idea since they undoubtedly have contams on them (bacteria in the air and whatnot) and you have surrounded it with them. Leave them in the open or put them in an open drawer. Black is not good :crazy:

Can't see anything in that pic man. I started a grow one day before you did yours and it's over 90% colonized. I'd say start some new jars

Well thats what i was getting at was that nothing was growing, but i mean it couldnt hurt to leave them for a bit and just see what happens, if it ends up being a bust next friday when i get paid ill start over. But i guess i just dont understand how they grow freely out in nature yet in a house at controlled temps, and complete sterility they still fail

Did you wait for the jars to cool to room temperature before injecting the spores? Do you have holes in the lid for gas exchange? I need you to pick up the latest newspaper and read me your horoscope.

Well i got all the stuff, then mixed the verm and water making sure that it was moist but not dripping water, then added the BRF, next i filled the jars packing them down just a tad, wiped the top off the jars then boiled them on medium high for an hour and a half, did that with both sets of 4. Let them cool overnight then the next day around 1pm, i sprayed my room down with lysol let that set into the air for about 15 mins, then put on my face mask and started innoculating the jars, cooking the needle after every other jar. After that i put micropore tape over all the wholes then put then in a box in my closet. 2 days later opened the box and there was nothing so i went and checked my house temp which was at 64 degrees so then i went and bought a floor heater which has been keeping humidity at 30% and temp at 80 degrees from monday 4/11 till now and there is nothing happening. I have now taken the tape off, the towels away and put the in open space with a house temp of 68 degrees now.

I sprayed a little spore solution out before sticking it in the jars, to cool the needle

Also the heater thst close could have killed everything. Where was your thermoter in the room when it was  reading 80? Itll be hotter directly in front of it especially wrapped in a black towel

well i hope the heater didnt ruin everything, now i have a small piano bench with the jars on top and the heater below so there is no direct heat on the jars, just a warming air coming from underneath, or should i just take the heater completely out of the scenario

Return your heater and use that money to buy more supplies to make more jars. Also a pc and glovebox would be helpful

k will do, ill probably end up starting new jars around next week after i know for sure that these are a bust im in no hurry so i would rather just wait it out since patience is a primary attribute in this hobbie. should i go through ralphsters again or just pick a new sponser?

K for sure, also im not sure if it could have been the heater, i messed up on my timeline a bit haha, so at first i bought a 50w halogen bulb and place it 3 feet above the jars with the dark towels to contract the heat, then on wednesday of the same week i switched to the heater because i was always told that light is a sworn enemy for mycelium, and even by that before i changed in the heater there was still no growth even tho the light had them at 75 degrees

Even if it they did that he should still have 3 other viable inoculation holes, cause it would only kill the first part of the shot probably. You should be flaming between jars from what I know.
