LC, did I add too much nutrient?

So I knocked up two LCs about two weeks ago. One of them looks good, just growing slower than I had thought, though thats fine. The second one.. is incredibly slow. It's the one in question, did I add too much honey to this bottle or what else could cause such a dramatic difference?
When injected the spores into the LC container, should I suck up some of the liquid, then push it in, suck up, inject a few times to make sure all the spores get out? I did this for one of them.. but can't remember which. I'm afraid the BPKs got contaminated if they were the ones I did it with, or it could be why the malaysians are so far ahead. What do you guys think?
Malaysians, the successful LC.
Ban Phang Ka. Did I mess up?
Just shook the bottles, everything gathers on the bottom when I don't shake it. Also, is this normal? Apologize for the image quality, my digi is broke..

Awesome, good to hear we both share the pain.. :p Hopefully it eventually will catch up. Gonna make extra sure i'm as spot on as possible at 4% for the next round of LCs.

i use a 1/2 dry gram of powered malt per 500ml of water although some use 10 grams of malt per 500ml of water and stamets recomends 40 grams per liter-20 per 500ml.
So there are hundreds of workable formulas and whether or not you added too much, probably not. Less is always better with a lc

Anyone ever had the issue of not using enough nutrients (per say)? I ask because recently, I inoculated my first LC in years (to go along with my first grow in quite sometime) and I must say the growth, while quick, wasn't very thick, in fact it's mostly just barely visible pure white strands, and a few little fluffy ball type things.
I believe I made the error in only using 1 teaspoon of karo for 300ml dh20, and not 1 tablespoon (3 tsp being 1tbsp). Must have been pretty stoned to make that mistake, lol.
Does anyone foresee any problems with using this LC? I don't see why, it's much like a fairly clear spore syringe. BTW, sorry to hijack the thread, but fairly appropriate place to make my first post.

do you have any idea how much a 1/2 gram of powdered malt is? It is about 1/4th a teaspoon.
You guys are using more than enough sugar in your lc's

Honey sucks Here's the LC Table
Use Extra Light Malt Yeast Peptone Dextrose
Those beat honeys ass any day. And HONEY IS NOT CONTAMINANT RESISTANT!
Are you incubating the LC xile?
*1000ML LC a.k.a Liquid Culture 1%=1.92Ts 2%=3.84Ts 3%=5.76Ts 4%=7.68Ts 1%=0.64TB 2%=1.28TB 3%=1.92TB 4%=2.56TB
