2+ weeks. Didn't your read a guide? I'm sure this was in there. Sometimes initial mycellial growth is really hard to see on cakes.
--------------------
I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

Exactly. give it 2 or 3 weeks.
What are your temps at? Germination can take a lot longer in the cooler temps.

I agree. I have waited a month before. It's post like this why it's bad for people to compare germination times.
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

My totally unscientific survey of random things people have said on here is that 3-9 days is typical, and commonality tapers off after 2 weeks.
Interestingly, age does not seem to be a massive factor. My fresh prints took 8 days, one vendor print only 3, and I doubt it was fresh. Certainly super old prints can have a hard time germinating though.
