it could be bacteria. does it look wet in there? BRF cakes hide contams very well a lot of times. It could also be old spores, you could have used too much spore solution, there are a few factors that could be at play here. wait at least another week before chucking 'em to be sure the spores weren't just a bit old.

it can take like 2 weeks for spores to germinate and show growth, sometimes. just be patient.

I use Rye, inoculate 20 jars, 4 varieties. Of the 20 jars 15 started showing mycelium while the rest did nothing for a week and a half. Around then the hard were around 30% colonized and nothing in the jars. I opened them up to dump and use for transfers and they had no funky smell, just clean rye.
I will definitely be a lot more patient in the future!

ok, but your mans is talkin' about cakes. if you're shooting up your rye jars with spore solution, that could very well be your problem.

spore solution is typically aseptic, but not sterile. just like not wiping after taking a shit, you may be able to get away with it once in a while, but eventually you'll get skid marks (that's an RRism).
to test, you can try dropping (i mean 1-2 drops) solution on the top of your PC'd grains. If clean enough, you'll start seeing the growth where you dropped the solution only (unless you move the jars enough to shake the solution down. Even that's far from fool proof, but may help you in your situ.
typically, we like to clean spore growth on agar first, before inoculating grain. in the long run, you'd save a lot of time and money doing so.

I've never seen ores take longer than a week to germinate. Especially in every inoculation site across all jars. You should prepare to start over

You're lucky. Longest I've waited and actually was successful was 2 months. They were the most bitchiest spores ive ever had. Luckily I got prints and cultures now so... yay 
I gave up at the 3 week mark, but was too lazy to toss. Checked in at 2 months, and I saw about a dime sized spot on a pasty plate
