Mycelial Growth Slow Newbie help

Hey all This is my first post. I am looking for some help are these jars doing OK? I followed the PF tek videos and used brown rice and verm. I got my spores from a vendor off this site. It has been a week and four days since Inoculation and the strain was albino penis envy hybrid. So my question to you all is it looks as if they are not growing very well and it is very slow like almost stalled. Does it take more then 2 or 3 weeks for penis envy to colonize?

Firstly, Penis Envy is typically a slow colonizer. Second, tall half-pint jars typically colonize slower than wide mouth half-pint jars. Third, your moisture content might be off, but no one is probably going to be able to tell with those photos.
You're probably fine. A week and four days is nothing. People have had jars that didn't even germinate for weeks. You're probably just excited and getting impatient.

Sounds like about the right time frame for PF and spore inoc. If you are checking them constantly you might not be realizing the growth. Some people will outline the myc with perm. marker and then you can really see it (it wipes off with alcohol so don't worry about ruining your jars). IIRC most pf jars will be 3-4 weeks and sometimes a bit more.

I just birthed some a+ albino jars that took 3 weeks to colonize and 1 week to consolidate. I've also got some 8 day old penis envy that is behind yours. Don't worry this is all normal, unless you switch to liquid culture patience is the name of the game. I injected some jars with my penis envy liquid culture a little over a day ago and I've got some tiny spots of mycellium already.
Overall your doing great, keep it up, the hard part is basically over.
