LC should show growth in a day or two, the LC you used is bad. did you make the lc?

Looks like a blurry pic of uncolonized grains.
Couple questions and clarification. You used this LC before with no issues? Was it used on grains prepared the same as this jar? What temperature are the jars at?
Welcome by the way

I haven't used LC before, but could mixing it 1 hour after inoculation have spread the LC too thin?

No it doesnโt matter. Itโd just spread the LC

Makes sense, I guess that would apply to spore syringe to grain?

Obviously we donโt recommend MSS to grain. Iโll say Iโm a little unsure. It shouldnโt matter because itโll spread both spores and contamination. Regardless if you didnโt theyโd just be localized to that injection spot.

The grains were prepared for me since I was to busy to do it myself, but last time I prepared my grains myself and it worked great but the rice was to wet so it got contaminated, but the jar that was prepared for me the one in the photo so I've already used the liquid cult ure

Should I add more liquid culture?

If you got no growth after 5 days with LC itโs probably bad. There should be quick noticeable growth with LC. The jars and syringe are likely toast so add more if you want but plan on getting new LC or doing things yourself.

Yeah usually spores to grain, you dont want to shake (or dont do it at all), since you want your spores to be all in one area to have more chances of successful germination

So you've got grain that you didn't prepare yourself so you have no idea of moisture content or if it was properly sterilized.
And you've got LC that hasn't been tested on agar and contammed when you used it, so no guarantee it is good.
I mean the only two options i'd think are the grain jar wasn't prepped right or the LC isn't good.
I'd suggest following a tek and ensuring the grains are prepared properly by yourself next time, and learning agar to ensure you are using a viable clean culture.
