PF- Tek First Grow Attempt (Pics)

This is the first attempt to someone growing P. Cubensis. SWIM had assembled all the proper materials Vermiculite, Brown Rice Flour, and such other things: [url=http://imageshack.us][image] http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/9510/10006410rc.jpg[/image][/url]
SWIM then proceeded to drill 3/16'' holes in 5 key points of the lids:

After boiling for 35 minutes, SWIM took them out, cooled them and inoculated the three:

SWIM's short boiling time was due to circumstances beyond his control, and tommorow night he will make another 4 which will boil for 1 hour.
As well, SWIM's question is this: After innoculating the 3 jars, how would one re-use the spore syringe- SWIM wiped it clean with Alcohol and squirted a bit out after use- is that sufficient?
*SWIM will be taking pictures every 5 days. -Tonight SWIM also started a fourth jar, but will let it cool overnight.

You should boil for more like 2 hrs... IMO
edit: Yeah it does look a little brown

Ok SWIM will purchase the bigger kind tommorow (by word-of-mouth SWIM had heard that finely ground will allow less contam once sterilized)
SWIM will be starting 8 more tommorow so no problems

the fine works. I like the coarser verm, it colonizes faster, but the fine will work.
keep using fine for the dry verm layer after you start using the bigger stuff in the substrate.

1, to take a good picture you want light to be in front of the object you're taking the pic of. light->camera->object, or even camera->light object. you've got light coming from behind the jar. and 2, wtf is SWIM?

HELP ME! The other 3 have a green dot or two, what should i do, they are all in the same general area, so what should i do? Should i remove them and throw them out should i open one of them and really inspect?
Any help would be great

Opening the jars to inspect them would automatically ruin the jars. Period.
Leave it be. There's nothing you really can do except use better sterilization techniques your next time around.

After the first time you mention "SWIM", you can just refer to him/her as "he" or "she". Otherwise, it gets a little redundant. Damn paranoid noobs!

hes going to make two more tonjight, but should he remove the "mold-infected" ones out of the chamber, so as not to infect the "normal ones" or is it not an airborne contam?

I'd invest in a pressure cooker, I haven't had any contams since I switched to using one. I also agree popcorn is easier and faster b/c the air gaps allow fast growth, it's what I use - you can use it for a G2G transfer or just case.
