First time BRF PEU

Hello everybody!
I'm new here, and I just got started on my first set of BRF jars:
I went with Penis Envy Uncut. I Inoculated them 6 days ago and still have yet to see any signs of mycelium.
I tried to get a close up of the jars so anyone with a trained eye might be able to spot out problems with the BRF if there are any, but the pics dont really do them justice. It looks packed in the pics, but it's actually pretty loose in there. I did grind my own brown rice and most of it turned into flour, but there were some small bits of rice that weren't completely ground, though I heard from somewhere it's okay.
I could write many paragraphs on how I feel about the way I've made these brf jars, but in summary, I'm pretty confident I did it right. We will see though. I was planning on going straight NeglectTek.
Was also wondering if I should close the cabinet that my jars are in. I'll keep you guys posted

I'm not quite sure how a PE variety will do on brown rice flour... good luck though. Consider looking into some mini monos.

What is the ambient temperature in the room? You could probably speed things up a good bit by warming it up.

Still a cube. I've had successful grows with BRF/Verm. It does seem to take longer to colonize, I've stopped growing PE cuz it was just more difficult overall and not really worth it.
That temperature is perfect. Just be patient, those jars are twice as tall as PF jars should be but it should work. If you get impatient start a new cycle on day 14, pretty soon you'll have more colonized substrate than you'll know what to do with.

Day 13: sterilized and knocked up 4 more jars overnight, my steampot only holds 8, should have done it sooner because the shit has just been lying around:

All I want is to get at least four people to stage 4. I got a nice food dehydrator with a temp setting today so I can preserve all of the flushes, I'll fruit in quart sized jars ChronicTek style

Day 14: growth in a total of 6 jars, the new jars have such a small patch of mycelium that I can't get a good enough picture to show off, I can't wait for that fucking day when I get my first flush and I pick the biggest shroom off and eat it fresh.

Day 15: growth in 7 of the original 8, jar 7 is hard to see in the pic, while jar 8 may have myc, it's too small for me to tell for real at this point, so it's behind jar 7 in these pics:

Next time around I want to get some fast colonizing shit and make a LC so that my jars just explode, I am still having fun though!

Day 16: I had to move the jars to a place I had prepped but had not used, as well as clean the floors due to my mom bitching about the smell
Isolated one of the original 8 jars because I am wondering if I have a contam in it. It looks like it could just be substrate stuck to the side of the glass, but screw it, I stuck it somewhere else warm and safe.

I did the same with contamz when i first started they should turn out just fine. Also before you think about not doing it... DUNK THEM! much larger fruits bro

Day 17: 

Nothing special, just a little growth, and a reference for me to see what kind of day to day progress I'm making. One jar from the original batch of 8 still hasn't grown anything, but it's probably because I forgot to shake the syringe before inoculating that jar. I'm still happy as fuck I got 7/8 of my first batch looking good. *knocks on wood* 
Day 18: 

Day 19:

Day 20: 

Still 7 jars growing, 5 jars doing nothing
This is day 7 for the second batch (4 jars) that I knocked up, compared to several grow logs I've seen, this shit colonizes slow as shit

Everything looks good. Are your temps very low or anything? Did you pack the substrate in any way?

Howdy! I dug up some old pics of mine that I thought you might find useful. They are of a BRF PEU grow I did a few years back.

I've been keeping them between 76-80 degrees and it's really nice and loose in there, been thinking its the penis envy genetics, hope I get some strong ass shrooms for the wait!

Day 21: 

The jars to the right are looking good 
Does the mycelium grow faster when there's more of it?

Day 22:
Opened the closet to discover a surprise, now I've got mycelium in 11 jars out of 12!!!
          

There's condensation around the mycelium in the jar furthest to the right. Heard it's normal, hope that's the case
