I inoculated my 3lb bags of rye grain with 5cc's of alacabenzi strain, i first put the needle over an alcohol lamp until it was red, i then cooled it down using an alcohol soaked cotton pad. and i wiped down the enviorment as well as my hands and the bags before i injected the spore solution. well that was three weeks ago and nothing is happening not even contams. i have had it in a box at a constant 81 degrees. i dont know whats wrong. should i just throw them out and start over or just wait longer. the only thing i can think that went wrong is maybe the seringe wasnt cooled down all the way and i killed the spores

thanks for the info man. and i'm not sure if what i have are myco bags exactly... there is a self healing injection port and a filter patch. i got them from a very reputable company. anyway... back to the drawing board i guess... im trying quart jars this time so i know the moisture level is right. any other thoughts are welcome ... thanks guys

You can get away with less but that is not a particularly extravagant amount of solution and it certainly wouldn't factor into why he has had no growth.
