Print > Syringe > LC is not reliable, especially if you are relatively inexperienced. You need at least 1 hole for GE, and with brf cakes you want 4 holes, without rtv, so you can have 4 inoculation points as well as GE. A sealed jar will stall.

Also the ones that got contaminated were the heavy ones they got lot of water in them so they probably got screwed water ratio from the overfilled PC also i haven't gotten green mold yet only this sour smelly bacteria thing.

Did you flame sterilize your needle before every injection? Next time just to be on the safe side, drop some of your lc on agar first to make sure the culture is clean.

Did you crack the lids?
Sometimes the substrate gets packed down and can't breath.
That's been my experience at least. Before you toss 'em I'd say crack the lid, sniff, and see what happens.

I'd suggest taking your glove box and taking out the gloves, sabs are so much better. Even if you had a flame in the box its purpose would be defeated with a flame moving air around. With a still air box you flame outside the box and work inside the box due to the ease of putting your arms in.
You must flame sterilize the needles. Alcohol won't work. It sanitizes

You can do as you stated but you said the cakes smell sour which means they have a bacterial infection. This will most likely yield you little to no mushrooms but on the other hand, you could get lucky. But if I were you, I would toss them cakes and start over.

The fuck? Why would you bleach mycelium? And baking soil in the oven? You mean potting soil or what?
Don't bleach mycelium, and next time use bucket tech for bulk

This is why he should just toss them cakes and start over. OP needs more experience and more reading before he is ready to do bulk.
