For 15 days they look pretty well colonized. The pics are a bit out of focus but in one I see a brownish area toward the top? I would look at that area carefully. Keep them going though. Let them go another 5-7 days after the outside looks fully colonized. When you open that one jar with the brown spot, smell it. It should smell like fresh mushrooms. If it stinks or smells really sweet or sour, it's bad.

Thank you, I thought my jars are far behind
Can you tell me the picture with the brownish spot, I am not clearly sure that i get the right picture. But I have checked my glasses, I cant find a brownish area in "reality", I think its just from the picture.
Edit: Are you talking about these spots? http://image.prntscr.com/image/5e937ed5447d4b5a82565746099ad504.png
These spots are just air-spots between the rye-corns, they got a dark look by the lighting from my camera, I have tested it.

Schemenhaft said: Hey guys,
I hope its okay to ask in this Thread, I think an exclusive Thread for this question is too much.
I am currently colonizing my 330ml Rye-Jars with Agar-Mycelium and I am not rly sure that everything is fine.

Not the best lightlevel, please notice this :/
You can see one of my B+ Jars, I have inoculated them at 30.12.2016. Its my second try to grow my own Mushrooms, last time I have spawned the rye to early into the substrate -> into the SGFC, the result was a moldy spot in my cake during the first Flush.
Hope you guys can tell me something about my jars, I'm not sure about my Jars. Is it fine for 15 days? Does it looks like a contaminated Glass or something?
Thank you in advance 
~Sorry for my bad english, hope its possible to understand my question

The End  OP you can listen to who you want I can show you tried and true, proven results time after time and my SGFC has the holes on the lid taped up, and it's pin city buddy!

Improvise or not, a SGFC has 2" holes on all 6 sides... Please elaborate where I gave bad information!! Without holes on a 6 sides it's just another FC not a SGFC!!

yea im gonna use plastic wrap with cardboard frame for lid.
but an update on the 2nd cake i birthed on 1/12 it looks healthy as can be to me.
     
>>>1st cake(been in chamber for 14 days!!)) almost no growth or change in the cake for almost a week,i think because the way i made the sgfc i couldnt mist the sides of bottom of the cake, so i flipped the cake and am now misting the other side in hopes it will pin.

You're good Cube, sometimes when I do my cakes I will have a lone cake that takes longer, whether it's genetics or whatever. You're on the correct path don't baby those cakes too much, tough love mate, tough love. Get a feel of what the mycelium likes and your next project will go smoother.

It doesn't need saving buddy, just mist it when it needs it and make sure it has FAE

No need to give up or lose faith at 2 weeks. Be patient. Remember, that cake WANTS to complete it's life cycle, fruit and dump spores. If it isn't visibly contaminated, just keep doing what you're doing. I've had some grows that seemed to take weeks and weeks before pins showed and then just exploded.
I think it's good that you've made a better SGFC and that should work better with your other cakes.

Immortality is the ability to retain full memory through all consciousness transformations. Loss of memory is man's greatest curse and, in very real terms, death." -- Ancient Taoist Master

Okay, but next time ease up on that misting, you may have overdone it a bit...

It's not really the amount of sprays as much as it is how the surface of the cake looks. You want the surface to look like it's coated in tiny water droplets all around, that's it..it doesn't need a bath  And yeah, keep that fan on until most of the excess water has evaporated off

i checked and now i have 3 tiny pins like the one you saw.
but the 2 other pins are like sideways almost like they were already there when i flipped the cake, and it looks like when i picked it up i touched the pin and broke it and made it just stick to the cake sideways
but idk because i saw no pins when i flipped it, i could have just missed it tho (good chance i could have just not seen the pin and broke it
