01/18/2007 - No growth, I think

I always kinda freak out when i see stuff that just doesn't seem to work but i think it really is just my impatience.
I inoculated on monday for 1 set of 6 and inoculated a second set of 6 the next day (i have a small pressure cooker)
I mostly am worried that i have zero growth, but it looks like there is some moisture build inside the jar, which wasnt there when i made them so i am hoping it is doing its job.
I pc'd for about 40 minutes for both batches and had the 2/3 V, 1/4 RBF 1/4 water mixture per jar, and kept it pretty airy, i never packed it down at all. They sit in my incubator where the air temperature is kept at a saucy 80F
I made an LC in between the two batches and that appears to be growing mycellium already, Honey LC. It helped verify that the spores were viable. Its not cloudy nor has the sperm look but i mix it with a shard of glass and it looks like i have a great deal of mycellium, they are a shade of yellow although.
I think i am prolly going to wait another week before i toss this batch and make a new batch. It's exciting and i know now that i am just a stubborn person not a patient one.
I smelled the tops and they smell like IPA from when i wiped down the aluminum top. Though i think my next batch of cakes i am going to use the water resistant proof tape from 3m rather than the micropore tape because it looks like it saturated from the PC.
any words of wisdom?

Yea wait it out. Monday? Of this week? Come on dude thats only 3-4 days.. I bet my bottom dollar you will see growth by next monday.
Seriously just walk away from them for a bit and come back a few days later. You cant rush them!

At the moment its freezing where i live so i keep the jars incubated around 80F air temperature.
Its really the anticipation that kills me, which is definitely my problem. Need to chill.
