No spores in syringe?

I ordered 2 syringes a few months ago - B+ and Ecuador. The B+ syringe has quite a lot of visible black "dots" in the liquid while the Ecuador seems to be clear (empty) just water, no black dots, nothing, I inoced with both syringes 2 days after xmas (27/12/1016) and my B+ are almost fully colonized right now, but the Ecuador is showing no signs of growth or germination what so ever. I know spores are microscopic, but it just doesn't make sense, cube strains all grow at the same rate right? So would it be possible if the supplies sent me an empty syringe?
Here's the pics, sorry for shit quality :

B+:

like in general term, same strain with same environment/temp but then with a different strain still in the same environment/temp right?

contact customer service? you are using them as intended after all if you used your microscope.

There's millions of spores in there, drop some on a clean agar dish, make sure to indent it with your scalpel so it stays centered in the middle. Keep it on a shelf, wait a week, you'll see growth,

Not with multi spore, you can come to expect anything right down to nothing. When you start dealing with clones and isolates you can start to expect some sort of consistency, given they are grown in the identical environment. I did my first MS grow PF TEK style in pp5 containers and I had spores germinate in 5 days and had one that took 4 weeks, all from the same syringe with identical substrate and environment. I also had a couple that didn't germinate at all. With all that said, if you didn't see any spores via a microscope, I would definitely take mushboy's advice and contact the vendor.
