 Question: Not fully colonized pf cakes

Let me start by saying this is my first grow and i have 10 1/2 pint jars (BRF/Verm) going about 6 of them are nearly colonized but 4 of them seem to be stuck at about 60-70% colonized. they have been going for about 21 days and they are B+'s. I have keep them at about 78F-80F. I was wondering if i should inject them with a bit of steralized water.
I have found alot of very useful info on this site and figured that you all might be able to help me out on this on.

Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer...
- a pint of raw ether...
- Shit !
two dozen amyls.
Not that we needed all that for the trip... but once you get locked into a serious drug collection... the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

Are the holes in the lid covered? if so uncover them and turn the jars upside down (lets co2 escape the jar better)

Welcome to the Shroomery Bkultra. Glad to see you having fun with mycology. My first question to you is did you remove the foil from the tops of the jars? You may be lacking in gas exchange, which is the most common reason for jar stalling.
Edit: Looks like Magash beat me to it.

Yeah tip them upsidedown and raise your temperatures a little. If that doesnt work you can inject it if you think it is dry.

the only thing i can think of that is stalling them is the lack of gas exchange or the dryness. BE CAREFUL putting water in there has a good chance for the invasion of contams. try turning the jars upside down for a few days. if that doesnt work then maybe your cakes are a lil dry.
