Re-injecting spores?

I made a bit of a newbie mistake in all my excitement knocking up B+ for the first time, and for the first 4/9 jars, I did not shake the syringe (I know! I was really annoyed at myself when I realized, and of course so then I shook it), and so the other 5 were done properly. Now, 6 days later, I see some really nice Myc on 5 of them, and just tiny spots on the other 4 (gee, I wonder why lol). So its clearly obvious that they did not receive as many spores as the other jars. Now, should I just wait or is it safe to knock them up with say .5ml more of the same spores? I've heard some sort of thing about contams being higher probability or something, should I really waste 4 jars instead of speeding them up with a bit more solution?

I'd personally just let them do their own thing. They've already got growth anyway.

You'll be fine. Actually, the more spores you use increases your chance of contam.

Using low spore count inoculation is recommended by some as it is easier for two spores to mate and establish a fruiting colony. I believe when more spores are present there is a chance multiple colonies will fight for dominance.

Doubt there would be much harm in re injecting. There's is growth so I would probably just leave it and let it finish itself.
You may find the other 5 slow down a bit later on. That's happened with my grow, they seemed to go through a few days of good growth then a few days slow...

I dunno, man. Reinjecting sounds sketchy to me. Good luck!

let em go and count it as an experiment.
it's good to gain knowledge.
I did something similar, I inoculated my jar (half asleep, cuz I woke up super early and was too excited to wait till I was properly awake) and shook the jar immediately after innoculating...
after a few shakes I realized just how dumb I just was, I knew better...newb move. disapointment : /.
My spore lc looks great though, so I'm going to start some new jars and let this one go so I can see how long it actually takes, and if the batch has any sort of noticeable differences once fruiting.

Re-injecting can mix the verm layer. If the verm layer has been doing it's job and filtering nasties, re-injecting could mix those nasties down into the substrate.
If there's already growth, just let them go.
