Weird thing happned while innoculating...

Yesterday i steam steralised a BRF jar, i had plumbers tape over the 4 holes in the lid, but i loosened the outer ring which opens or closes the jar. When steaming was over (1.5 hrs) i left it to cool for about an hr and tightned the lid. I left it to cool over night and inoculated with a LC syringe, except i didnt remove the tape, i just pierced through it with the needle. As i did this on the first hole, i heard gas escaping (no smell), then i looked at my syringe and the plunger was moving down by itself and LC was going into the jar. I stopped it (affter about 3.5 cc's) and did the rest of the holes with no problem, anyone had this before??

While the jar is cooling it will try to suck in air creating a vacuum. This must have sealed the rubber ring on the lid even though the ring was loose and when you stuck the needle in the jar the vacuum pulled the LC in
Nothing to worry about

ok cool, would it matter if upto 4cc's went into the hole?? Im hoping it wont put too much moisture in the jar.

Yes. Happens to every LC I make.
The inside of the jar had very very low pressure. When you stuck the needle in, the vacuum made by the low pressure in the jar pulled the contents of your syringe out on its own.
Every LC I make, I have to go in with an airport syringe and equalize the pressure, otherwise I'll lose an entire spore syringe to one LC. =[
