Need advice on germination

Started some b+ in some pf tek jars im incubating on a shelf at around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. I used multispore inculcation and i got my spore at a local headshop. I used a pressure cooker to sterilize and let my jars cool over night. Its been about 2 1/2 weeks and see no growth of contams or mycelium. Any advice on how i should proceed should i start over or should i let the jars sit a little longer. When i look at the syringe i can see small bits of spores i believe. any advice or tips would be appreciated i'am very interested in mycology and would love to learn as much as possible

2 1/2 months ?
Forget about it. sorry.
Start over. get a spore syringe from a vendor here and you'll have lots to show and tell in 2 1/2 months.
good luck

That sounds a little better but still a little much. If you don't see growth in the next week get a new syringe from a shroomery vendor and start over.

OK... 2 1/2 weeks.
still not lookn really good.
most guys will see growth in 3 to 5 days .. and jars could possibly be finishing up in 2 1/2 weeks.
watch em but don't expect too much.

LC's are not a bad idea!! in fact, if you get a good one (easily done) you will have tons of inoculant to play with. I've had plenty of successful grows using LCs, you just have to test it first. Like I did here http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/17778775]

Yeah I wouldn't start with an lc either get pf tek down first and buy spores from vendor simplicity is the beat way to start lc's can contaminate if not done right then youve lost everything dont put all your eggs in one basket pf tek pf tek pf tek then move up

I agree with you. There are much better ways of doing things than Lc. Some people really get offended when they hear you tell people Lc is a bad idea. Using agar to grow a clean culture or clone then transfer that to grain and then doing g2g to increase your culture stock is the way to go imo

LCs are sketchy as fuck when not made from an agar wedge.

Making an LC from tissue carries the same risk as making one from spores.
The only good way to make an LC is from a clean agar wedge, and even then it's like you are working backwards.
The best bet is to experiment with LCs, but never count on them...Agar is the way to go buddy.
