Spore hydration

[Vandal_xx]

Hey guys....
It's been 7 days since I hit up 5 jars with a spore syringe I made from a print of Alecbenzi. I am using the BRF tek. I didn't know how long to let my spores sit in the syringe I made before I hit my pints up, or if it matters how long I let them sit seeing as there is a good amount of moisture inside the jars.
Just wondering seeing as I am about to set up my next syringe from my last spore print and I would love to see some nice ropey growth in my jars.

Helo, who was nice enough to give me some hope in a prior post, said he/she has waited 20 days to see growth. is this common?

and again.... how long should I let spores sit in the syringe before I send them into a delicious BRF cake?


Thanks guys!!!

24hrs in syringe is sufficient hydration. . .

I wouldn't think hydrating the spores is all that important, since you could just drop them on agar and germinate that way as well.

So you're saying that in theory it is possible to make a spore print directly on agar and get mycelium growth?

Again.. I am a newbie  waiting for my first jars to colonize. I'm trying to not ask questions that were previously answered so patience with me is greatly appreciated.
