I've got a couple pesky jars that are like 75 to 80 percent. But a couple patches seem to be taking a bit. Can I still g2g with them?

You could but I would recommend waiting for 100%. Perhaps there is a reason they are not 100% colonized (bacteria, contamination etc.). If that is the case you are just wasting time materials and resources by spawning those jars.

if theyve stalled and not doing anything anyway, what do you have to loose? although shaking a jar isnt good for the myc, and you can wear it down, the way a jar recovers will tell you alot about the jar

They need to be 100% colonized for grain to grain transfers.
The reason is that sterilization is only relative the way we do it in jars and bags anyway, giving us a window of opportunity to get the grains colonized. Let's say you have a jar that's taken 2 weeks to get 'nearly' colonized; you do a grain to grain transfer and if it takes 2 weeks for the receiving jar to colonize, you have some grains which have gone uncolonized for nearly a month. That's too long and there's a good chance bacteria will grow on them and contaminate the whole batch. RR
