What's Up With My Jars?

Hello Shroomery!
It's been over a week since I inoculated my jars (approximately 1 week and 1 day). I used spores bought from Spores101. Maybe it is the spores, but I haven't seen ANY growth, mycelium or otherwise.


The second pic is a little dark, but essentially they all look the same on all sides as the first pic.
Do you guys think that it's the spores? And if so, can I inoculate these same jars with a different spore syringe (I bought another from Ralphsters)?
Thanks!
Edit: I used vermiculite and brown rice flour. Steam sterilized in a large pot for 90 mins. Also, should I remove the tape from the top of the holes after inoculation, for air exchange? The tape was medicinal tape for wounds (I think it's micropore tape).

1 week is not long enough to worry. You dont need to worry till you see no growth after a month. You did mess up by buying spores from that place. They are cons and the last place i would ever recommend, wait i would actually never recommend them. For all i know you could have been given a good syringe though, just give it time. and leave the tape on.

Shoot me a pm if you would like a powerful custom laser built. 4th pic is a 1.3W 445nm laser burning thru some plastic makeup containers. Yes I was wearing proper safety goggles, otherwise I would be blind right now.

How long did you wait to inoculate the jars after taking them out the steamer? I ask because I have read somewhere that inoculating the jars while they are still hot can kill the spores.

Thanks TacoHerder for the advice.
zZZz: I waited about 7-8 hours after I turned off the heat.
