first time growing and these (B+ cubes) have been in SGFC for about 4 days now. BRF cakes stayed fully colonized in jar for about a week. they took about 2 months to fully colonize which kinda worries me. please let me know your input on the pic and my situation

Looks good so far 
Are your lids the standard PF Tek lids? Also, what's the temperature of the room you had them colonizing in? You didn't leave them in a box to colonize did you?

Hm, very odd for colonization to take so long. Did you make the jars yourself or did you purchase them pre made?

Lookin' good. i've had some long colonizations myself. It was torture. Was due to a mixture of lack of proper GE, over abundance of water, and poor genetics. The cakes do look good though, so you should be alright.

I was wanting to know if you made the jars via PF Tek yourself or if you got one of the pre-sterilized ones like the vendors sell, Walmart definitely answers my question though lol 
When you put the verm/brf mixture and the verm filter layer in, did you pack it down at all? Packing the substrate down makes it harder for the mycelium to colonize it.
