All my jars are colonized to a degree. This is the most colonized vs least after a week, for both i used an oven to steralise. 4 cakes in total. 30m at 140c then 2h 30m at 115c. When they came out they looked dry so i filled a old spore syringe with alcohol then boiling water and injected about 8 cc around the jar. I did this with two of tbe 4 jars and those two jars hace colonised the fastest. So in conclusion if a cake seems a little dry then its okay to add streralised water before innoculation however it seems to have grown better where i added the water. Next time im going to dry add extra water the cakes before going in the oven. Im using the oven because I dont have large enough pots to steam and don't have a pressure cooker. I tired twice before the oven using a pot to no avail therefore i will continue to use the oven method
