Need some advice

Made a mistake last week while i was on vacation. My partner in crime was left with the duties of bottling and forgot to mix the priming sugar into the pour bucket on 2 batches. I went to the Co-op and was directed to the carbonation drops. Directions on the drops were 3-5 drops per 12oz bottle. I used 2-4 just to experiment on diffrent bottles as i have never had to use the drops. Been 3 days in with the drops now and zero carbonation as I had a test bolttle from each batch. How long would you recommend the drops be in the bottle before I see any carbonation? I was thinking 2 weeks as that is what I have experienced with using priming sugar to get carbonation....... HELP S.O.S.......

At least 2 weeks, maybe more.

Yes I used them once and it seamed like it took a couple, or 3 weeks.
And you are keeping it at room temperature right?

keeping the bottles at room temp. thanks for the help as I was wondering about the drops. have about $80 wrapped up in these 2 brews and it was frustrating as my buddy forgot to add the priming sugar. Told him he has one chit left on his Brewers card before it is revoked! Lol..... 100 caps later, $10 worth of drops and was glad to get the help from the co-op and from this web page!
