12 days and nothing

Hi yall,
I have a quick queston about my jars. I knocked up 7 jars 12 days ago and havent seen anything. What is the average time it takes for anything to happen? Should I be worried? I appreciate any suggestions and info you give me.

A lil info if you would please...
How big are the jars?
Did you inoculate into the center of the jar only?
If they are big (quart) jars and you inoculated into the center, that's not too unusual.
If they are 1/2 pints and you inoculated in multiple places near the edge of the jar, 12 days is kinda long.
Either way I'd wait up to a month before giving up on em.

Sorry bout that, they are brf 1/2 pint jars, steamed 90mins, inoculated at 4 different points on the glass. Im wondering if I should just toss them or open em up and smell if theres a contam. I thought that was kind of long, I have had them between 74-82F he entire time.

itsallnines, did anything eventually come on yours or did you end up tossing them? Hopefully the vendor I got these from isnt th same one you got ours from.

sporestore.com. nothing grew at all. the first time, i let them sit for a month. nothing, and only one of them grew contamination. my friend used the same stuff, only one cake grew mycelium and it got started very late. the second time, i let them sit for about 20 days. nothing. this is all odd because the first syringe i got from them worked just fine.
i got a spore syringe from sporeworks. it looks very nice.

15 days, sporeworks syringe with the "allegedly" crappy penis envy strain... pint jar.

11 days, spore works, pint jar, equador strain...

I'd let those jars sit, see what happens, but if -I were you- I would start a new batch with a syringe from another vendor, like one that sponsors this site. look around.

Perhaps they weren't cooled long enough before inoculation?
Maybe the syringes went through some serious temperatures on the way to your home?
There's a few things that could have caused the jars to act below par. I can't tell ya if the companies are good or not but everyone makes mistakes.
I'd give em a month either way, if it gets contaminated you'll be able to see it but opening the jars will prolly contaminate regardless.
You could order a new syringe from a different company and start a new batch while you let those sit somewhere for a while. I wouldn't give up on em yet tho.
Cheers!

Actually you might be right. I might not have let the jars sit long enough after boiling. I read a tek that said wait till they are cool to the touch, thats what I did and inoculated. It was probably more like 2 hours rather than the 6 I recently heard.
I did order some more about a week ao from a diferent vendor but waited about 8-10 hours for the jars to cool before knocking them up. Hopefully these go a bit better, 2nd batch started yesterday, and did another 10 this morning, and plan on doing another 10 in a few days. I have 3 syringes left so Im thinkin bout trying the LC tek. something new and sounds like it works better.
I know this isnt the place to ask but, does anyone know if you can boil (not use a pc) for LC?

I wait til my jars have cooled for at least 12 hours. Even if the outside is cool, the inside could be warmer.

yea dont order from the spore store.. i orderd 16 from them took a month and a half to get them, and only a bout half did anything. could barely see any spores in them... i ordered 4 from spores101 and 16 from sporeworks... both great vendors and tons of spores per syringe... i heard of alot of people getting scammed by "spore store".. so i used the venders off this site.
