Have you followed a TEK? It sounds like you 'partially' have.
Seriously man, it's as easy as baking a cake. Go back and start again, and post here in future if you need advice with a grow:

I would be a little more clear on your question. At which step did you forget to add water? when mixing up the brown rice flour and verm or after the cakes colonize and your forgot to dunk?

Wow, so I'm not sure if a moderator edited out a bunch of info, but this wasn't for help. The original post had a bunch of info and pictures of my grow and how I messed it up real bad in the beginning... Not sure what happened here? Anyways hope you guys enjoy the pictures.
And the whole, forgot to add water thing.... Yea idiot mistake. I was in a rush and overly excited and forgot that step. It did start settling in and turning white but looked super strange (I believe I have a picture or two of all of them that show this. Anywho, I found a 16yr old thread and used one of the members idea. Sterilized water back into an injection pen, with about 40cc of water injected from bottom to top towards the center. I started as far away as I could rom the outer wall.... It worked! Only 3 went bad

I thought the pub was to introduce yourself? Is that why it's not allowing me to upload pictures to this thread?

You need to upload the pics to your account. Then copy and paste the provided scripts under the photos into the thread. Have fun in here, try not to get caught up in all the flaming bullshit I see so many meme era get sucked into. There's a lot of strongly opinionated people here and sometimes the most logical thing to do is agree to disagree. That's my only other advice for enjoying yourself here

Ok so sorry for so many post but it wouldn't let me add pictures to my Last post. Some of the jar shots were ones I threw out so keep that in mind. Also some are before I had to inject the steril water to my oops on a dry cake. I also kept the cakes seperate during pinning process to ensure that if one was bad it wouldn't kill the rest, safety measure. And and all 4 worked out good so far!!

Dude what in the fuck is going on here? What have you been reading where they tell you to make these things?
You need to watch these videos http://www.mushroomvideos.com/ go through the PF Tek videos and you will be fine.

I believe I'm doing just fine? Prep what are you so confused on? Every thing I did was to the book. I took extra precautions before starting all my cakes in one big terrarium.. Not sure if you confused on that or the pet where I forgot to add water to my cake mix In the begging.
Let me be very clear here.... I ACCIDNETLY forgot to add water to my cakes when I first started the process, meaning after jar had been sterilized. So in order to solve this I read a bunch of different ideas on it to possibly get them to turn out alright. So the plan I went with was injexting sterilized water I to the jar of dry pftek.... Still confused? I believe what I did turned out alright. What do you think PrepH?
Also that big one in plucking in a few minutes I meant to last night but didn't have my drying set up ready till now... Thanks http://

To which book? Why doesn't your terrarium have any holes in it? "I took extra precautions before starting all my cakes in one big terrarium" Why? They're resistent to contamination when fully colonized, you did dunk them in water for 24 hours anyway, how do you think that would go if they weren't contam resistant at that point?
The thing here is yes, you did grow some mushrooms. But we all try to strive for the best of the best. If you followed the pf tek to the T you'd have ended up closer to cakes like this:

We're trying to get you to that, you don't need to reinvent the wheel or defend what you've done, his cakes look like that and yours look different for a reason.
