Haha Thanks man.  And I was thinking five because I've messed up the last two times I've tried growing (first time grower)  so I didn't wanna waist all my spores by putting all my eggs in one basket. I finally ordered some from spore works and he hooked me up with two syringes.  Was thinking of trying agar if I fucked this up again.

One syringe will do 20 cakes if you are good with a syringe plunger. It only takes a drop or two in each inoculation hole

Yeah, I was planning on doing 1cc each jar, maybe ill do less. If I leave my inoculation holes uncovered like OP suggest, would it be a smart idea to let them incubate in the SAB? I have cats and am worried a hair follicle might end up flying in and contaminating the jars. Also any suggestions on a affordable brand of gypsum?

i've heard of people just grinding up bits of normal sheet rock (minus the paper) from lowes or wherever since its made of gypsum. id avoid the green sheet rock since its used in bathrooms to combat mold and the like. i haven't used it yet, hell i haven't even started to  grow so i cant say it works or not though i see no reason it would'nt.

Quick question, During incubation I accidentally left my jars in the light for the first two days, but have transferred them to a closet since...will this hurt my grow?

No.  Indirect, low levels of ambient light are beneficial to colonizing mycelium.

I'm getting a little anxious about my jars, I know patience is key but this is my first time and I can't shake the feeling I'm screwing something up. It's been exactly two weeks and this is where my jars are at, the weather turned a little cool out here in DC so maybe that's part of the issue (if there is an issue at all). Overall they just seem spotty and wanted to run it by you guys.

I'm a noob so take my advice with Caution.
They look fine. However a few questions for you
1. Are those half pint? Only use 1/2 pint wide mouth
2. How many inoculation points?
3. Be patient! And wait a week after they fully colonize. I know the feeling and it sucks but it's worth it. I just got an ounce of dry shrooms from 5 cakes pf tek.

Four inoculation points on the sides of the jar plus an another in the center. They are indeed widemouth 1/2 points.

In that case just be patient. And no need for a 5th inoculation pointy. Just follow the steps exactly! Also they don't need to be in darkness and the holes don't need to be covered. I found they colonize much aster with uncovered holes.
This is what I got my first grow

Why the short 1/2 pint jars instead of the taller 1/2 pints (not tapered)? I thought that the increase in surface area with the taller ones would be beneficial since less surface is against the ground.

Surface area isn't that important. The wider half pint jars colonize better

Hey, I have a couple more questions (I'm still doing research for my first grow, so there's a lot I don't know):

I'm seeing that the jars come in packages of 12, and the syringes come in 10cc. Apparently, you're supposed to do 1cc per jar. I'd like to do all 12 jars. Is it fine to split the 10cc into 12? That's 0.833cc per jar. It's not a big deal to spend the extra $13 on a second syringe if it's worth getting the full 1cc.

And do you completely tighten the jar lids to cultivate the mycelium? Or do you leave them a little loose?

Thank you very much.

Use one syringe on as many jars as possible I can easily get 24+ from a 10cc syringe. It only takes a drop a hole
