but im not sayin u should shit on ur table lol๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐
You're right. Good sab/fh practice is what matters. You can do miracles if you do clean work.

I'm speaking of the contamination crap shoot. And I only use agar for cloning. I'm going to do some isolation when I have some free time .

Why not try no pour agar teks thatโs what I do because I have a small sab no flow hood and I know my vents in my house are probably the culprit in the contams floating around my house so I do no pour and now my cult success rate is so crazy high from where it used to be. If you have a PC and you should then all you need is the nutes the agar and the cups on amazon are 50 for 14$. You can get everything you need for a total of $50 your probably wasting that on grain alone and my time is worth $50.

I'm at the point where if a TC told me that shitting on my table next to my SAB would improve my grow I'd probably try it.

Definitely start over with fresh jars.
Properly sourced spore syringes of well known stable varieties produce consistent results with consistent techniques.
I believe most of the hype surrounding the "crap shoot" is inconsistent growers getting inconsistent results, then learning more through practice, growing an isolate or some clean spawn on agar, that they take a lot more time and energy caring for, then wind up getting better results and credit it more to agar work than consistent correct practical methods of preparing substrates to fruit. Of course I have been on a very long run of clean vendor syringes so my opinion is likely jaded from my own personal experience. Also, if I am making syringes myself I like to run a hepa in the area while the mushrooms are popping for the prints.
In essence life itself is a crap shoot and since you can find reliably in agar cultures, spore syringe's reliability is sometimes under valued. Fear not and be hopeful that your jars will bring fruits in abundance.
Two weeks with no growth whatsoever certainly suggest something is up, especially with the other jars already being at 30%. Maybe the jars got dried out somehow? With the information available dried jars or bacterial contamination would be my guess at the culprit.
Pictures and more details would help. Temps? Tek? Strain?

Lol! Rihizomorth I feel ya. It took me a while before i was able to clean prints and syringes on agar. (i am still having some issues but i have narrowed it down to the prints/syringes themselves and not my sterile tek). They are inherently contaminated to start.
Dilution streaking teks are your best bet and use more plates to start off so you have a better selection.
The tek i found that works best (for me) is using a sterilized q-tip as I found i had much more control over the streaking and also picked up the spores better than an inoculation loop.
