I put (with the exception of 2 jars) 2cc per jar and ive seen growth, but the growth seems to have finished. Each 1 pint jar is not fully colonized, but i think that they're done because i only put 2 cc per pint so shud i transfer the grains to an FC with my coffee and coir? (i dont have a camera so no pics sry)

Do you have a filter? If not no wonder that the growth is halted. Grains need filters.

Have you been shaking your jars? Did you shake them when you inoculated?

You can get away with 1cc per jar with pint jars. When you say that the growth seems to have finished... do you mean that you still have areas that are not colonized? Also, when you ask if you should transfer the grains to a FC... do you mean spawn to coffee and coir? The reason I ask, is that I'm only familiar with Cakes being placed in Fruiting chambers. I guess I'm not getting a clear picture on what you are doing. Either way, if your grain is NOT FULLY COLONIZED, you shouldn't be spawning it to anything. There is a reason for it not being fully colonized and that is usually due to contamination. Bottom line is that if your grain is not FULLY COLONIZED, don't attempt to spawn it to any substrate.

I'm not sure how much that has to do with it. The OP obviously has growth going on, (just not full colonization). Shaking jars when he inoculated would only cause problems with initial growth. He doesn't seem to have that problem.

yea i know not to shake the jars until 50% colonization, so i have refrained from moving them too much, i cannot find any bacteria so maybe i am just impatient but from what i have read i these should be ready by now and they are not, the growth is just very slow

I always have shaken my jars immediately following inoculation, and have no problems and nothing but success.

You should shake when the jars are colonized up to 20% or 30%. This way you only shake once since full colonization will happen a few days after shaking.
You cannot find any bacteria?? I'm not sure what you mean by this but... bacteria is hard to find!
If you have polyfill filters you can leave them on a shelve or on a desk. If they keep stalled there is bacteria. If you shake and they don't recover there is bacteria. Toss.

what ive learned is uncolonized grain pushed against the jar is a bacteria. and stalled jars is a bacteria. i have had both of these problems as of which i did not think they were contamed at all. i was wrong . lets hope your right !! good luck man. but pictures say much more then words. try n get a pic up. n theres many people here that can and will help you.
