a little over 4 weeks ago I innoculated sixty jars using 6 different strands from 2 separate suppliers. Of the sixty, I had 9 turn green, 14 fully colonize, and the remaining jars have done absolutely nothing. I used the pf tek method and the temp is steady at 82. What is the problem? I had one strand (Blue Meanies) take right off. Another strand (hawaiian) take longer but finally came through. But the remaining ones have done nothing. No contamination, no spotting, no nothing. Could it possibly been that I bought bogus spore syringes?

"I had 9 turn green"

Toss those.

"14 fully colonize"

Fruit those.

As to the rest that didn't colonize,it could be bad spores,or it could be a moisture content issue.
If you see no growth what so ever in those jars,it would suffice to say to start new jars up.  -_-
You may have got some BS spores.
