I think you should quit worrying about people that aren't you.
post pics 'someone who is me'
-------------------- How to get started in bulk: Presto 23-Quart Pressure Cooker BOD's Simple as FUCK Still Air Box PastyWhyte's Easy Agar Tek Munchauzen's Cultivation Video Series How EvilMushroom666 Prepares His Grains (I use jars with Synthetic Filter Discs) What is G2G? (Grain-to-Grain) Damion5050's Coir Tek (I use 5.5 - 6 quarts of water instead of 4. Also ignore step 13 and ignore the monotub completely. The only purpose of this tek is to show you how to make a simple substrate. I also add gypsum to it but not necessary) Spitball's Monotub Tek (A liner isn't necessary but is useful) Use 6500k lights throughout the whole process. When you wake up, turn the light on. When you go to sleep turn the light off. It's as simple as that.

Using a diy hood from a plastic container, I pc'ed the jars for 90 minutes and sterilized the syringe tip before, the grain was soaked for 24 hours beforehand for endospores as well

Also, the spores are from a questionable distributor, is it possible they were bad from the start?

24 hours is too long, soak for 12 hours.
We soak our grains to saturate the inside of the grains so they dont burst when we simmer them. The pressure cooker is the one to take care of endospores. (Wbs doesnt need a simmer, just a soak.)
MS syringe to grains is a bad idea, you really need to check it on agar first for contams, then drop a wedge.
I think your discribing a still air box, that was a good move.

Yes.
Find a better vendor or learn agar. Ideally both.
