Needle poblem

The needles that I got don't reach below the dry verm layer (standard technique from mushroomvideos so no weird dry verm layer depth) is there anything I can do about this that isn't buy new syringes. I would hate having to wait another week or 2 since I have all my sterile jars ready. Only thing I have thought of is just putting it in there and hoping but this seems like it'd be a bad idea as it would A get the verm filter wet and B not actually be in the ideal place for the mycelium to begin growing.

Look for new needles, 1.5" would be standard. Tractor supply possibly.

1" would be too short imo. Go longer if they have them. 1.5" - 2" would be ideal.

You can buy them right off the shelf at the farm store chains... and don't have to ask a pharmacy for them.
Either in packs of the syringe/with tip, or separate packs of tips.
