Take off the foil, you'll stall the jar as it needs Gas Exchange to grow. The top dry layer of vermiculite is what's preventing it from contaminants.

when casing can you use rubbing alchol in the water instead of peroxide

i did care to inoculate only the rice cake and not the dry vermilculite but i did stick the needle a little closer to the middle than to the side of the jar... but i already figured that the problem may no be it but too high temperature. i already took off the reptile pad i used do heat the jars and the alluminium foil i used to cover them.. i'll wait now.
thank you

Old spores would be more than 2 years old if on print, or more than 6 months if in syringe.
>if i dont see anything after 7-9 days then should i try again
Well, using the same spores wouldn't make much sense in that case, but give it at least 14 days before calling it quits.
You say the temperature is perfect, how warm is it?

the tempature is about 80 degrees
i used the spores the day after i got them in the mail
what usually kills the spores, too hot too cold, ?
i know if the verm-brown rice is still hot from the steralization but i let it set for at least 6 hours and 3 set more more then 9 hours
where do recomend the best place to get spores is?

i was thinking about using rye seed next dry if this doesnt work
do you have to use a pressure cooker or can you use a pot like you steralize the brown rice cakes
