Please help! First Time Grower

Ok so this is my first time growing, and about 2 weeks ago I inoculated my jars. I have 11 of them. 1 of them is completely covered In mycelium, and has been for about 1 day. The other jars are about 65-70% Colonized. I was wondering do I wait another 5-6 days for them all to colonize before moving them into the fruiting chamber or should I move them into it once they are ready one at a time? Im worried if I wait for the others the one already colonized will get overlay. Any comments will be greatly appreciated. Im just nervous because its my first grow and 3 of my jars had to be thrown away yesterday due to penicillin mold and I done everything right and cleaned EVERYWHERE in my home so it was pretty upsetting lol but I will update with pics soon.

I assume we are talking about PF Tek BRF cakes and cubes, so I will give advice based on this.

You should wait at least 1 week after 100% before birthing them....you can birth the one by itself or let it sit and birth them all at once....this is your choice.....it should not matter that much.
After birthing the cakes, rinse off the dry verm layer and dunk in tap water for 24 hours, then roll each cake in dry verm and place in a SGFC.
