Did I mess up?

So someone inoculated 5 brf / verm jars the other day, using some link they found in the FAQ as a guide. They went with 1 cup of brf and 4 cups of vermiculite for the whole batch, and sterilization seemed to go fine. So here that person is five days later, with 5 jars which have no foul smell around them, and still have condensation on the inside... but there is absolutely no mycelium growth. They're thinking the guide had them go for a ratio which was too low on the brf, but they don't know. Anyone have any ideas? Or is this person just being too antsy (it is their first grow)?

a tablespoon of brf would be enough to promote growth in a pf jar. I am thinking that "this person" is just another inpatient beginner mycologist that is just dying to fail

Or possibly a new grower who does not wish to mess anything up further, and decides it's better to ask the people who know what they're talking about instead of going off of his own inexperienced intuition. Oh wait, of course not.
If it annoys you to answer noob questions, I could care less if you passed on by my thread. No need to be a douche about it, though. You were also new once.

was this formula that this person used a recomended formula or just one that he/she made up? If he/she didnt make it up then why would this person think that he/she would possibly mess things up any further?
This person needs to follow instructions from the mmgg. If this person can follow without tryint to do something stupid like increase yeild for their first time than this person should be just fine

lets analize what you said. you could care less so this is saying that you do have some care if i didnt reply to your post. Now if you couldnt care less that would be saying that you have absolutely no feeling towards it. So i assume that you would like it if I answered your post. No problem. helping newbies is my thing

Tahoe can be a bit harsh just bare with him At least he hasn't pointed out how bad you are at English :P Anyway You didn't really explain how much water you added to this recipe.

I couldn't give you an exact amount, I used this link: http://www.fungifun.org/English/Pftek as a guide and waited until it reached the level described on that site..."When you tilt the bowl you should see just a little water starting coming from the vermiculite." It didn't seem too wet or too dry, so I think I'm just going to guess that I'm waaay too antsy.
