grinding BRF

I just did some BRF jars and they are not showing any signs of growth after 12 days. I'm trying to figure out what went wrong. The only to things I can think of is my LC i used was no good or maybe I didn't grind my BRF enough. I used a coffee grinder and if didn't seem to get it ground very well. Does anyone know if BRF not ground enough will cause jars to not work?

I use a coffee burr grinder...and make the brf sorta flaky.
and it works like a charm.
It usually only takes me 7 to 10 days to get PF style cakes fully colonized.

Thats badass roadkill, you must be using a LC. Im about to do another LC this time with karo light in the coffee maker. What percentage of karo do you use 3 or 4. I've heard both so im figgurin it doesnt make that big a difference.

I just used a blender and I have pretty fair mycelium growth in four out of five jars. I started with a spore syringe.

No...that is with multi-spore inoculation.
I get faster times with LC's.
