I think you should give up.
Take up needlepoint or maybe collecting Pokemon cards would be a little less challenging.

Not sure where you live but be patient and keep the temp at 70 degrees. Go all fucking in on the idea of sterile procedure.
But most importantly,,, Try Doing a bulk grow with grains. IMHO BRF and the PF tec fucking sucks, even if your a total beginner Do a bulk grow. It's not any more difficult and you'll probably get less contamination and a hell of a lot more shrooms. Dont fuck around with the plates, it's a waste of time. I tried BRF and failed but when I switched to grains absolutely nailed it . Not even sure what I was doing wrong before. I was following everything to the T and heavily focused on STERILE procedure.
On my second bulk grow I went all in and yielded over 3 and 1/2 pounds cracker dry. Never had to and never will grow again.

You shouldn't give up because your next try will be fruitful. Plus you don't really want to be beaten by a humble mushroom.
Good luck with your next grow

90% of the spore syringes I've ordered from reputable vendors have been contaminated with bacteria.
It's not time to quit. It's time to get into agar.

Hahahaha I do NOT doubt u. I even got this one print that I couldn't get rid of the bacteria on.... only time that's happened to me...
Probably cheating and not doing in vitro grows

When are you taking the foil off your jars? It should be removed the second they come out of the PC/pot on the stove, and the jars should be removed the moment they're done cooking.
If you're worried about your verm, bake it at 400 for 10 minutes or so.
Make sure that you're either thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing the jars each time, or that you use new jars each time.
Wipe down all the counters and other surfaces where you'll be doing stuff with clorox/etc, wear clean clothes, take a shower beforehand.
Also, where you're putting your jars and how you handle them after they're inoculated matters. They should be put somewhere with good airflow, a good amount of light (preferably natural sunlight), and somewhere that's stable so that they won't be jostled or otherwise moved at all until they're done. You should try not to pick up or handle the jars until they're done growing.
If all that fails, then agar is your solution. Or you could jump straight to agar.

I always take the foil off, jars should be removed soon as theyre done? I usually leave them in the pot over night or whenever they cool off...I do need to work on not touching them and turning them..since im so prone to contams im always checking on them. might be part of the issue, but I saw bacteria in a jar within 24hrs. didnt even touch it. I left the first batch sit for about 4 days to see if it was my sterilizing or dirty inoculation but I did move them around in the process.
if I continue this tek I will bake the verm before hand,also take a shower. lol
