Only 3 of 6 jars colonizing?

Knocked up 6 jars a few weeks ago and only 3 of the six are growing.
Why would this happen?
-------------------- The war on drugs is a failure. We have been disconnected from our plant allies and have handed over the keys to our consciousness to a gang of thugs. No man can claim freedom in a society which denies him the right to injest whatever substance he may choose. The lack of these experiences is accelerating the total decay of our planet and our society at large.

Pics? There's at least 10 different reasons why it could happen. But pics would extremely narrow it down

I can post pics. But I don't see how theyd help.
The three jars with growth look great but the other three just look like brf jars with no growth.
I'll post them when I get home

Could be bacteria. I'm in the same boat, I have 2 jars that aren't colonizing with no signs of Visible contamination but I'm giving them a week max to do something or they are being chucked out.

Pics would tell me if its too wet or dry. It could tell us if there's contams like bacteria. It basically just tells us if you did things right. If you did, it's the syringe.
But unless you're a well known cultivator, you're to be thought of as someone who can mess up. Like leaving foil on the top of the jars. Hell even experienced people always post pics when asking questions.

I don't see how it could be the syringe when the other 3 jara are doing great.

They will perform much better at 70-75 
Putting them in an enclosed space like a closet with a heater sounds like a way to dry them up fast AF.

There's definitely a lot of sarcasm and elitist attitudes here.
It's why j rarely post here.
It's a forum to discuss and help others learn about mycology.
Pics will be uploaded soon.
Thanks for the help so far

I don't know everything. I ask for help all the time. But when I do, I'm sure to provide as much info and pics as possible so I can get accurate feedback

Very interesting. The top 2 on the left look good they actually look 100% IMO. The bottom jars/no growth jars look a little sweaty and wet, but nothing too bad.
It is possible for only a few spores to be able to germinate in a syringe that's old, as well as badly stored. I should know, because it took me months to get anything from certain spores that were old AF. I've even had unviable syringes all together.
You said it's been a few weeks right? If those don't show anything after 4 weeks, toss them. While you wait, get ahead of the game and make more jars

Awesome thanks for the help man. Don't expect anything from them at this point. It's just odd I always have had growth on all 4 inoculation points until recently.
Now there's generally a few dud jars out of each batch I knock up. And this has happened with the last 3 syringes ive used and I've used different sources. Nothing has been different with my sterile technique or prep.
Really odd

Didn't realize viability was quite so variable. If he didn't shake, the majority of the spores may have been deposited into the first few jars.

I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

No I did not. And I shook the hell out of the syringe.
