I'm a newbie, I inoculated brf bags I got online, with B+ spore syringe 2 weeks ago (14 days) and haven't seen any fuzzy white stuff! There is condensation on the inside, my temps are 78'. The bags look normal, the bags are kinda hard, didn't break them up before I put spores in, should I have broke it up first? Any suggestions? Thanks

If you're not seeing growth, it might:
a. be starting to colonize inside and you can't see it (spores take a while sometimes, too)
or
b. the brf mix might have had contamination. Might have been bacterial, stopping/stalling growth. Your syringe might have been heavy with contamination and growth didn't occur.
Hard to tell. Syringes carry contamination inherently and are thus always a crap shoot.
You mention the bags are hard/packed tightly. Might be slow inoculation from inside the mix. Why we don't reccomend packing the mix when loading PF jars. Pics?

Every bit of that is really cringe. You get much better results and can actually narrow down the problem when you do your research and do everything yourself.
Im guessing either nothing germinated yet, or more likely it's on the inside working its way out.
In the tek that gave us the brf/verm recipe it says you shouldn't even use tall half pint jars because it packs too much. I can only imagine how condensed a bag of it, shipped in the mail for God knows how long has gotten. If it got too dense it might not colonize.

Ok thanks. I think you're right about it colonizing inside, like I said I knocked up 5 bags, only one started, Wednesday was thinking the same about the brf being old, lil. dry looking. Gonna do some more jars tonight myself, knock them up tomorrow and try, try again this time gonna do brf, and a couple wbr jars, with some Z strain. Thanks again I'll let you know if and when anything happens!😁
