Increase temp + check for proper gas exchange.

Too many spores will hurt, and probably more than 4ccs extra water. Read the quote from RR in this post.
Too many spores produce lots of competing substrains, some of which are not compatible. So instead of ending with a single mycelial network in your cake, you end up with a few, each fruiting independently and flushes will be smaller (as each individual network has access to less nutrients and water)
This said, there is no reason why this should be the case for the OP.

WELL, IT DEPENDS ON THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THAT PARTICULAR JAR. IF THE JAR WAS SLIGHTLY ON THE DRY SIDE, THEN YOU MAY NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. IF IT'S TOO "WATER LOGGED" NOW, THEN IT MAY JUST TAKE LONGER TO COLONIZE. OF COURSE THE LONGER THE JAR IS IN THE INCUBATION PERIOD, THE BETTER CHANCE IT HAS OF ACQUIRING AN INFECTION FROM A COMPETING MICRO-ORGANISM. YOU WANT YOUR JARS TO COLONIZE WITH MYCELIUM AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. HOPEFULLY YOU IMPLEMENTED STERILE TECHNIQUES TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY AND THEREFORE WON'T HAVE MUCH TO WORRY ABOUT
