BFR cake odd smell and no germ after 1 month
      01/12/21 08:29 PM

Hello everyone. Fair warning, this is my first attempt. I feel like I followed all steps to a T, but I'm trying to learn from this so hopefully I can see what happened.

I planned on doing a pf tek with bfr. I used this recipe... https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18357343

Only difference is I used fresh hm that i collected myself. I steam sterilized for 120 mins then I let sit for about a week. My spores were supposed to arrive the next day, they took a week longer then planned, so they sat with the foil left on for about 1.5 weeks until I got around to doing it. I inoculated 12  8 oz jars and put masking tape over the holes.  Then I waited

It has been prob close to 1.25 months, checking weekly, no growth whatsoever.  I made sure to inoculated on the glass under the verm layer and all that so its not like I shouldn't of saw it if it did begin, the syringes were very heavy with spores and I can even see a few jars with little blobs of them where I injected.

I'm honestly not sure what went wrong, but I maybe got a clue tonight. I went to inspect the jars tonight(which I may add that I have not seen any signs of contams) I took the tape off of one and noticed a smell. It was an odd smell, kind of vinegary or maybe a slight fermented smell. So what I'm wondering is if thats a clue that something happened in my jars to prevent them from germinating. I don't think its a contam, all the jars smell that way and I cannot see a single sign of anything as well. 

Not sure if that's enough to diagnosis this, but maybe someone could shed some light on this.
Thank you
JB
