Colonization seems to have stalled after 6 weeks

This is my first time cultivating shrooms. I inoculated a dozen jars and after a week they all showed signs of growth with no contamination. A couple of weeks later, each jar demonstrated considerable growth. Since then, they've all stopped at about 50-75%. I've been storing them inside a tupperware box in a dark, fairly warm closet. Is there a way to facilitate the process? I was pretty proud of the progress I had made on my first attempt and I'd be pretty sad if they just stopped colonizing.

I had success just placing my rye bags in the bedroom that gets natural light and a steady temp of 70... Maybe not enough gas exchange? To dry? Just throwing out a few things I've read on here... Good luck man

I have to add that the jars were in a sealed tupperware container. Should I just keep the lid off and let them breathe?

Yea no need for them to be in the dark (ambient light is beneficial at all stages of growth anyways) or in the tupperware, Id take the lid of the container off.
Its too hard for me to tell if the myc is clean from the photos, see if you cant put up some sharper ones of the myc
So I would take them out of the closet and set them on a shelf somewhere. Give them another week- if they keep colonizing then let them finish and then let them consolidate in the jars for another week.
If you mark the growth with a marker it will help you see if they'd growing or not. If they do stay stalled dump them and fill the jars up again

Would keeping the light on in the closet help things along?
I live in an apartment with a cat so exposing it to natural light isn't really an option.

It won't make much of a difference as far as speed goes, I was jusl saying its benificial.
Post a couple clearer photos of your myc
