ok its day 2 sence i inoculated and still nothing happening im worried first i read the pftek grow guides followed one to the tee using 6 jars i mixed up a batch of vermiculite and brf(the brf was rice put in coffe grinder till it became flour) and water. put tin foil over all my jars(jars already have holes in lids there 1/2 pint) and put them in a pot filled it about an inch up the jars and slowly brought to a simmer/boil for 1.5 hours after i let the jars cool for aproximately 6-7 hours then got my ecuadorian syringe out sterilized needle inncoulated 3 jars then sterilized the needle again now there in a rubbermaid tub wrapped in a quilt next to a heat vent temp in the room fluxes between 70-80 ferenheit i see no white spots on any jars and am worried that nothing is happening did i inoculate to early? temp not right? ahhhhh nothing ever works out for me i cant even seem to germinate seeds
any info or insight would be help full i still have about 4cc of spores so i can try a new batch but im going to wait anohter day to see if they will colonize

Well it has only been 2 days, thats nothing. Have patience and be concerned after 10 days.
Two threads are not needed.

the tempeture in that room fluxes because the thermostat is downstairs so wen nit gets warm enough downstairs the heat shuts off theres not two seperate zones so i keep turning the heat up thats why it fluxes between 70-80 f is 70 to cold what is too hot it got up to like 88 degrees last night in there

88F is a little too hot but will germinate those spore in quick order! 84-86F is optimal for incubation anything outside of this range slows growth relative to temp. 70F can not only slow things up considerably but also robs you of a pinning trigger ie; temp drop. GL

I used a closet once setup a nice little lab trouble was all the shit that was in there ended up in the bedroom that pissed off the GF then I ended up dumping her as she was getting in the way of my sterile culture technique! Ya I got priorities too!!!"
