Few question just started growing

Hey I just started growing and I obtained some spores from hawks eye 2 syringes of the koh samui super strain any way I inoculated like 7 pf jars and a lc with the two syringes I know that's over kill but I wanted it to work, anyway after a few days I had one inoculation point growing mycelium on one jar and the rest nothing. I waited like 2 and a half weeks and nothing. I used the hawks eye cuz no one ever seems to have anything bad to say but pretty sure I didn't get great syringes. I was kind of getting frustrated and I had seen a post about putting a chunk of mycelium in sterile water shaking it up and inoculating with that and I busted open the one jar with some growth steralised a spoon and pulled out the mycelium chunk and did just that. It worked awesome I have 10 jars going for like a week and there almost fully colonized I have 3 LC,s going off it all looking awesome. Anyway besides just introducing myself the whole point of my post is to really identify why my original jars never took off. I did everything by the book except incubation and I've read in the original pf tek that a normal room temp is fine so I'm left to believe its the spores . Besides the jars I got going with the mycelium water I have 4 wbs quart jars and some more pf jars I inoculated yesterday with syringes I got from 2 other vendors sporeworks and sporeology. I'm hoping my problem is the spores I obtained and not something I'm doing. The only thing I can think of I'm not doing is properly incubating but the jars going now are growing quickly. I have read to put them in a box on your refrigerator to help incubate them and I just pulled a bunch of crap of my fridge to do so leading me to my second question, is the top of my fridge supposed to be warm from like a motor or something cuz mines not its pretty cold up there. So sorry about the wordy post but I'd appreciate some feedback .the syringes I got from sporeworks and sporeology have more black stuff floating in them is that a sign that they are better quality Thx

If you didn't shake it up really really good before inoculation, you could have spent all the spores on that first jar. That's the only thing I can thing of.

Not supposed to talk about sources, especially when you're talking about growing something meant for microscopy use only
