Oh shit dude, was it my penis that gave you that nasty plate? I think I can even see some AIDS there too. Cool experiment tho.

I always assume a swab is dirty though. These fruits were all flopping big dicks bending over with the caps touching the surface, many of them with the gills facing upwards, so some nastiness is to be expected.

That has been my experience, the few times I got bacteria in an LC it would go to shit fast from just a little needle poke. It got turbid very quickly and the cube myc reacted to the bacteria in a pretty obvious way, it would slow down its growth too. I for one am dying to see this sneaky bacteria that won't cause turbidity in the liquid that all people talk about, the one that only shows it's ugly face on agar, or even an LC that only has 'a little of bacteria' after being colonizing for more than one week.

I would like to see you try inoculating a healthy 100% cube LC with bacteria, that should be interesting too. Now that you're all in with this I'm sure you won't mind.

You can sterilize syringes in the pressure cooker, no skill or disassembling needed.

Yea, sorry to break it to you, you've been wasting a lot of time and effort all this time doing that 
On the bright side, now you know how to do it the easy way.

60ml syringes wrapped in foil and a pp5 test tube full of 14G needles wrapped in foil, all sterilized inside a gallon jar.

The pic isn't good but Ape spores kinda look like that. If they take time to show growth on agar (and they usually will) you can be sure it's spores.

Are you swirling it? That will break up that glob and speed up colonization. It's being terribly slow regardless, I would not trust it but you can always test it.

Yea test plates are always a raging mess for me everytime no matter how careful I want to be. That's if I test at all tho.

spinning early makes no sense, it's counterproductive IMO. It's as if you shook a jar when the wedge has barely got time to leap off.
Good all swirling works pretty good tho, can't see no good reason to dick around with stirrers even tho I dick around with stirrers.

Maybe you would not want to prep enough grain for that much LC. 5ml per quart jar is already a generous amount of LC, so you could knock up 100 jars with a 500ml LC. Want to stretch it out a bit? Do 1ml per jar and inoculate the fucking world.

It behoves you wait a bit more for full colonization and not throw off the moisture content of your jars imo. 20-25 is definitely a lot for jars, some people do less than that for bags.

I'd say 10-13 days is pretty normal from 5ml. In summer I've seen jars done in as little as 8 days from 5ml and it's not rare to see jars done in 6 days . As soon as temps go down colonization can slow down a lot too. Make sure that your grains are correctly hydrated and it'll all colonize faster. I've seen people recommending prepping grains on the dry side just so they could use more LC, this is a terrible thing to do.
