problem with grain jars

Somewhat new here. I have had success with PF cakes, but wanted to up my game to grain jars and mini mono tubs. Psilocybin is the only thing that I have found that helps my chronic spine pain, one dose gives me about a week of reduced pain so I'm pretty motivated to grow my own meds.
Used the Roger Rabbit tek with organic rye berries. Mason jars with inoculation port and filter bought off amazon (used homemade ones as well with silicone and polyfil but store bought ones were cheap and easy).
After following tek grains are ready for jars. I place a handful of grains on a piece of toilet paper to check "field capacity" - the handful of grains don't make wet marks on the tp, dry on outside swollen on inside. I load them into jars 3/4 full and pressure cook. After jars cooled out of the pressure cooker I inoculate with syringes from 101 in front of a laminar flow hood that I built (haven't graduated to agar but that is next). Flame sterilize the needle between each use and use alcohol to clean surfaces. I use about 1.5cc per jar. Once sterilized I put jars in warm dark place (cardboard box in garage). Temps are between 70-80f.
Days turn to weeks, weeks turn to months. NO GROWTH. I've replicated the experiment 3 times from two separate orders of syringes with the same results. The only time I have had successful was from a three year old spore syringe that I figured wouldn't work anyways so I split the 10cc's (5cc's each) between two jars in a rice tek just for shits. This actually ended up working and the mini tub is now fully colonized ready to fruit.
So what am I doing wrong with the rest of them?

Quit using spore syringes for grains. Use agar or PF tek for syringes. Use another vendor for syringes.

Yeah prolly a of a bit warm environment for myc if you are comfy so is the myc. No need to place the jars in the dark that's old advice for some unknown reason vendors keep putting in at best vague instructions.
Like @screwup said find another vendor plenty of trusted ones on this site have a look.

So you think it's the syringes? I wouldn't really know what my fuck up was if there was one. Bummer if it's them and not me.
