Should spores be visible when inocing' agar?

Hey everyone thanks for looking. Anyways yesterday it was my first try at agar work and now i'm just waiting to see if my spores are going to germinate. The print i used was very, very light. When i was doing the agar inoc. i wasn't able to get many spores (visible to the naked eye), Only 2 out of my 5 plates have spores visible to the naked eye. Will this be okay, I've heard that even a very light print is viable but do i need to get enough spores on agar to be visible with the naked eye or should just swiping the print then agar without visible spores sufficient to germinate spores? Regardless i guess i'll have my answer in a few days but If i'm supposed to have a visible amount of spores on agar i'm going to go back and re-inoc. the 3 plates where i can't see spores. I appreciate the feedback, thanks everyone.

You don't need to be able to see them.

Sorry if my term wasn't "definitive" enough for you. An adult response would have been a MINOR correction. I see that we are lacking a few.
I believe that the poster deserves a response that helps him. Apparently that isn't so with you guys..

While you're all here.... haha, should i continue to let this grow out or transfer the heavier growth in the middle in the middle to a new plate? This is after 8 days growth.These are the "fastest" growing of the 5 plates i made (petris #1 and #5). #1 has a decent amount of condensation on the lid so i took pics from below too.

never transfer from the center, use the leading edge it grows faster from there

Is that tape? If you don't have parafilm, cut a 1.5 to 2" section off a roll of cling wrap and wrap with that

Could be . Still the wrap job leaves something to be desired haha. It takes a little practice, hell get there. Should stretch the wrap, wrap it a lot tighter

It's press n seal if thats the same thing, but it seems to be working. its just what i had laying around 
edit: it's my first attempt at growing so im just happy i was able to get 8 days on agar w/o contams. but it took about 6 days before any actual tomatose myc showed up. At first i though it was bacterial but when i put it under a light i could see little branch like growth and thought its was probably myc and let em go. 2 days ago they finally started getting cottony but around them theres still the transparent myc growth is this normal? It's very white i dont think it's contams and it's on MEA i got from a sponsor so the agar is good. Here are pictures to show you what i was talking about. Could it be lacking FAE due to the cling wrap or is this how normal cube myc. looks on agar just beginning germination? It's becoming tomatose (i probably spelled that wrong haha) now so its good but its working its way over the transparent myc very it seems.
 ^same plate just two days ago. It first showed up about 3-4 days after i inoced the plates. Thanks again for the responses everyone. I appreciate the knowledge and help.
