yes another question

So im on my first grow. 9 of 10 jars are showing goos signs of growth. Its been 16 days and most jars have myc about like a 3 inch circle on each side. (2 inoculation points) (brf cakes btw). Question is... Do they beneifit from the 6500 k daylight bulbs for 12 hours a day or is that slowing progress. I find info pointing both ways so could someone clear that up?

Considering that light is a secondary pinning trigger and aids in fruitbody developement, I can't imagine it's doing much for the jars beyond providing a circadian rhythm. Ambient , non-direct lighting is probably going to work just as good. Just stick the jars in a room with a north facing window. No need to waste energy.

Ok. Also. Most people seem to start their consolodation week after about 2 weeks it seems. Mines been more than that. Or am i being too eager?

It's completely relative. Sometimes it seems like it's taking forever, other times it can be extremely quick. Just genetics I guess.
However, if it's taking WAY too much time (3 weeks +) myc growth could be stalling/stopping due to contamination.

you start the consolidation week once the cakes are 100% colonized. since you only used 2 inoc points on a pf-tek jar it'll be a bit longer for you to wait.

No, do use light. RR even said 12 on 12 off helps from the get go. Definitely not what is stalling. Lots at play though- I give my jars 2 weeks, if there's no sign of growth by then I toss and start over.
But why only two inoculation points? Every Tek I've ever read says 4- and for good reason- speeds up colonization time- the quicker you get to 100%, the harder it is for contams to set in. Plus you'll get mushies more quickly.

Could you be any less helpful and vague?

How else are you supposed to get a 19k+ post count? 
Use ambient lighting. However, illuminating 6500k bulbs for 12hrs isn't really needed. Like I said, if you live in the northern hemisphere, put your jars in a room with a north facing window and you're done. In a southern hemisphere you can just stick it in a room with a south facing window.
