Rye Tek proceeding, but slowly, need help/advice please!

Guys,
I soaked, par-boiled, rinsed and cooked the rye berries as rye tek indicated. Its been 7 days, and only 3-4 jars show little clumps of white mycelia. I did one 10 ml Syringe per 4 jars too. Shook, and are sitting in a rubbermaid in the dark, wrapped in a heating blanket, which has been adjusted to 80-85 degrees. The lids are loosened a little to allow air exchange, but its probably minimal exchange. In a closet with a hepe filter running constant on low. I open em once daily to allow exchange. No contamination however! Not one jar is showing funny color, or smells or anything. Bad syringes perhaps? The syringes were clear, I couldnt see any spores. I usually see many considering they are purple-black! I think I got beat on the syringes, and i'm upset. I put a lot of work into 24 quart rye jars. Damnit....Substrate looks a little wet too, some grains burst in most jars. bad water ratio perhaps? I'm gonna prep some BRF jars tonight and use the tried and true method for me.

if you soaked simmered and drained properly you shouldn't have a problem with water content, but I'm not so sure if you where able to do that if you're opening your jars for fresh air. there is NO reason to open your jars after inoculation untill they're fully colonized unless you're dumping them into the trash. that's just crazy. I also don't know why you have loose lids. tyvek, polyfill, or micropore tape should be allowing all of the air exchange necicary for the grain.

try lowering the temp alittle. the same thing happen to me and just lower the temp and boom! it started going. i read that inside the jars the temp is higher then outside. so maybe its just to high right now.

Lower your temps and expose the jars to normal room temperature around 75-78F 78F MAXIMUM with rye grains! They'll pin more vigorously when exposed to normal lighting, don't worry if it pins in the jar before full colonization. It's not a problem! Tyvek over your jars for FAE, If you fail to do so your jars will undoubtedly stall on you.
It's not your spore syringe, it's your grain preparation, spore count, sterile technique, ETC..
