Questions about growth of my first grain jars with pics. *Update1-7-14 Continued grow log*

PCed on 12/14/13 Hello, first time poster. Neewbie btw. I inoculated 5 grain jars last Saturday and still no signs(from what I can tell) of growth. I soaked WBS for 24 hours, rinsed before and after blah blah blah. Then simmered in big ass pot for 30 mins. Rinsed and let drain for another 30 mins. (Not sure if they drained well enough because strainer were small.) Into qt jars, polyfill used for filter. Then PCed for 80 mins. Let cool overnight. Then inoculated with MS syringe in a ghetto inoc chamber haha. They've been in my closet inside inoc chamber up until this point. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks! Strain is Cubensis: KOH SS Samui

for future reference a ten minute simmer is all that is needed, if they were done right they should roll around like bb's in your jars and look dry. i've found the ksss(i know thats not wut you have) to benifit from a good consolidation and a casing layer, this reduces or even eliminates the short fat ugly fruits

  It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn I'm tired do me a favor

I also have a PE-6 syringe and another B+ which I plan to innoc very soon. Used the KOH first for practice really. At this point the grains roll around like bbs which is good. Just wondering if I did everything correctly. Using room temp because I've heard good things. Pics are currently uploading btw.

Had trouble uploading pics. Gonna try again tomorrow at some point because I checked jars today. There was a few clump of grain conjoined by the mycelium. This was the case in most of my jars. So I'll just update it all at one time. Thanks again and Merry Christmas!

Ok pics thank goodness. Ok. Possible things I see wrong with the jars. 1.Possibly exploded too much of the grain. 2. Could have rinsed better because slight dirt residue on inside. 3. Not completely sure if water content is correct. No pooling of water at bottom and I know they're not dry so I'm confident in that area. 4. Too much grain in jars. Makes it harder to see growth with the excess grain. That's all I have speculated. Let me know you guys think. And as always thanks a lot!

One last tip I know its hard but I always heard don't handle the jars too much just leave them be for a week then check for "bad smells" then again every few days till shake time. Its more for the brf jars then wbs etc. but I just feel like its good practice in this hobby. Patience. GL

Christmas update: All jars have a few spots of growth! Unfortunately everything's closed today but first thing tomorrow I'm getting some rye and a few other things on my mycology shopping list. The box that contains the jars is in my closet. I've got a heater in there which keeps an automatic temp around 75. Hope all is well. Merry Christmas!
