So I knocked up 9 jars with some PE uncut. I did make 10 but one cracked in the pc. But all 8 jars colonized supper fast, but the one never did anything.... I gave them all 1cc equally.

Did you shake the syringe well? (assuming you used one) before inoculating?
If you flame-sterilized the needle, did you get rid of the liquid that you basically burned (and a little extra, to cool the needle).. ?
Did you mix your substrate in between jars? If not, the last few jars can have a much higher water content. I usually mix my substrate well every few jars to avoid that.
I've had this happen to me a lot using spore syringes from companies. The problem becomes a lot less common once you begin using your own spore prints and/or agar samples.

Thats a pretty good success rate, so i wouldnt worry too much about it, it may have been unlucky and got a bacterial contam, or spores somehow didnt make it.
