jars not colonizing at the same speed

hi everyone.
I inoculated 5 PF jars a week ago and I'm confused at how some are doing well while some are barely showing sign of growth.
I have one super jar that the white circled through the 3/4 of the jars, the second two best are colonized top to bottom but only 1/4, the fourth I can only see a little pale white at only one injection site and the fifth is not doing shit.
why is it acting like that? can I put the good ones in a colder place to let the others catch up??

This is normal. Every time i innoc a jar i hear the starting bells for a horse race and take my bets.
Don't slow your others down, keep them all in a happy colonizing environment.

It's MS. They grow at different rates. One of your jars probably just received worse genetics than the others.
There's no reason for the need for them to colonize at the same time. Just dunk, roll & put into your SGFC as they're ready.

Maybe your moisture content was low and the other jars recieved more liquid from the syring.
Maybe they are too wet from sterillizing wrong.
The point is there could be a number of reasons. If they are all the same substrate and had identical moisture contentthat was at field copacity, then my money is on the spores. Either you injected the lot of them in the 1 jar while slowly decreasing the amount the next jar in line got and finally at the end you have almost nothing which is backed up by your 3/4, two 1/4 and 1 smidge of colonization in your jars it seems logical. Escpecially if you didnt give your syringe a good shaking.
And dont forget that contams could be at play as well. I could see how they would progress down the line of jars as well if your procedure was lacking proper redundancy.

I'm in the same boat. I have 1 jar out of six that is really taking off and then a variety in the others. The explanations given already make sense to my situation.
On my first jar I had no idea how are to press the syringe and it shot a lot in. I'm guessing that is the jar that is doing so well.
I should probably take ores next time because I suffer from CRS most of the time!
