Help with mycelium growth

So i followed the pf tek videos online to a tee for preparing the substrate and sterilizing the jars. I have also kept them in a very warm environment approx. 80-90 degrees i think, i don't have a thermostat but it feels really warm. It has been 2 weeks and the mycelium looks like its barely starting to grow. I prepared 12 jars and only about 5 show any sign of growth i don't understand what went wrong if anything has. ill upload pics in a few mins to help with diagnosing the problem. Could i have killed the mycelium because it was so warm, even though most of the growth has taken place in the last week. Anything will help at this point.

MS can take 3+ weeks to germinate. Just relax.

That's not warm enough to kill the mycelium but at you start getting up towards the 90s it will the slow growth.

yes i shook them multiple times, cuz i had the syringes for about 2 n a half weeks before inoculation. and they don't look contaminated at all so I'm resisting tossing them. i jus figured the inoculation sites would b the first to colonize but most haven't done anything, which confuses me I'm also scared i got dud syringes i used a total of bout 14 n a half ccs. one jar sucked in like 3ccs but i think thats the one that shows the most growth.

I'm tempted to sacrifice one n open a jar to check if the middle is colonizing first which doesn't make sense to me either this is my second grow. my first one was a kit n that took over a month to fully colonize but i injected the center of the substrate by accident.

Don't bother opening the jar, no need for it. Just continue to be patient, maybe wait another week. Then I would dump the jars that still haven't shown any growth.
