Man, i gotta say, i followed everything to the letter and i got nothing.Its been close to 10 days. Very disappointed after spending lots of money&now have none left. i got a couple fuzzys a couple days ago, I shook it but its not spreading anywhere. I am terrible at this stuff&feel like breaking everything in my sight. I have one syringe left,no more jars. I dont like this method of putting so little spore liquid in one jar,idk to me it sounds like it would work a lot easier if you put the whole syringe in one big jar. This DIY stuff always ends up being a waste of time for me. bc i dont have any connections to just buy what i want.
I'm sorry, but it is possible that your syringe is bad. Are there any particles evident in it?
The failure can be:
Bad syringe
Substrate too hot at inniculation
Too little air in the jar (not likely)
Substrate too dry.
If you have NOTHING growing in the jar, you can use the jar again.
If the corn is too dry you can re cook it.
Now, it being your first time you may not notice early growth. It can be tough to see at first.
Speed of growth depends primarily upon temperature. The higher the temp. The faster the growth. However, don't try to push it. Anything around standard room temp is fine. It doesn't have to zoom along. You can get into trouble if you try to rush it.
But, at 75 degrees f, you should see something at 10 days. 14 MAX.
there could be hundreds of spores on this period. (.). You only need two complementary ones. I'm not going to calculate the odds but they are damn good of your getting a fertile pair with only 20 let alone 100.
Of course you want more than one fertile point of innoculation but a worst case scenario would be a single point. A little care can even have that be a successful grow.
I feel your frustration. Let's see how we can help. If you get more syringes, go ahead and put 2 ccs in each jar.
