hi, i was using my remaining syringe i had which didnt really have many cc's in it but i decided to use it up. my question is, if you inject the spores and it doesn't quiet reach the wet vermiculite will it start growing and reach the wet verm?

im assuming ur talking about the dry verm layer on top.. answer is no. it wont. the dry verm on top doesn't have nutrients in it and will not start growing.

when your syringe only has about 3cc left, get a brand new water bottle,unopened, and jab it into the side and fill it back up. I did this with my syringe and gave it to my friend, and now hes growing like 12 cakes from it successfully. someone else gave me this awesome tip. might help you next time!

This doesn't sound super promising but I'd wait and see if gravity has any effect before dumping water on your dry verm layer. That layer is supposed to be dry for a reason. Good luck!

.5 cc each inoculation point. what people dont really understand is it is rare for syringes to not have any mold spores. people grow mushrooms with fae. fresh air = mold spores. when it comes time to make a spore print there are plenty of mold spores on the print which end up in ur syringe. the more you inject the higher the chance of introducing ur jar to mold. so less is better. i only use 1cc a jar. ive only started two grows i have had no contamination yet.

Wtf kind of advice is that?
Since when were water bottles considered sterile?
Safe to drink doesn't mean it doesn't have mold spores in it...

It was suggested to me from a trusted cultivator, and worked out fine. his cakes are 80% colonized without contam... But if i was giving bad advice then i apologize. I just trusted the people that, well are safe to be trusted

Sorry man I don't mean to rip on you like that. It's just that most bottled water is just filtered spring water and isn't considered sterile. Maybe distilled water would work though.
The safest method would be to PC distilled water in a jar with an injection port and then suck water out of it with the spore syringe after it cools.

Why weren't you able to reach the wet verm? Was the needle not long enough or did you just mess up?
Regardless of the reason, there's a good chance the spore solution dripped down below the dry verm layer. That dry verm layer is your barrier for contams. Once you get it wet like that you are compromising the barrier.
I'd say just leave it alone and see what happens. You're kind of polishing a turd here.... Spores are really cheap so I would just start over.
