No colonization WBS- first timer

Hi friends. After spending years with BRF cakes with much success and reading up on bulk teks, I finally tried to colonize some WBS. I am super bummed because after close to 10 days I got...nothing. I followed several basic teks closely and did 6 quart jars- two of them I tried inoculating with a liquid culture (I wasn't sure if that worked either which is why I only did two) and for the other 4 I used two different spore syringes, about 2 CCs or less per jar.

For the lids I did tyvek and polyfill. I spent forever researching and trying to find the best method for a newb. I PCed the jars for 90 minutes at about 20 PSI. They've been in the dark in temps of mid-70s (I don't have an incubator but it's summer so it's been warm). 2 of the jars have something going on but I have no idea what (probably contams?) and the others all look like the first pic- WBS in a jar. At this point I am considering just going back to cakes, but I leave town in three weeks and that's not enough time for start-finish with cakes. I loved the idea of the low-maintenance mono tub (and huge flushes :-) So... should I add more spores to the jars or would that be a waste? Try to get the temperature up? Shake them up more often? Give up? Thanks for your help!

How do the grains look. Moisture content is critical. Too wet and it slows things down to dry and they just won't germinate spores. I had so. E jars that were too dry and not hi g happened

I can't really tell if I got the moisture content right - I followed a tek where I soaked it overnight, rinsed well, tried to pull out all the sunflower seeds, simmered, rinsed well until no water was dripping out and then packed the jars. They looked a bit wet to me I suppose.
