Need help with Broke boi tech

I inoculated these guys on Dec 17. They did this the first week or so and haven't done anything since. Should I just spawn them or wait? I've got the on a seed mat at 70f, now. This is my first attempt at brown rice, I thought it would be done by now?

You can't spawn until they are 100% colonized. You don't want to leave them on a seed mat because it gets way too hot. I'm guessing when you say 70F, that is the thermostat probe? Where the jar contacts the mat its probably 90F. Also, its looking too wet in there. Good news is your growth looks decently clean.

Have you shaken it?
I’m not great at picking out bacteria vs wet spots but some of it looks a little sketchy.
Shake it up and you’ll know for sure, either it’ll finish in a few days or never recover.

Shake them and turn off the heat pad. Report back.

These fuckers won't shake! Seriously, I opened my one failed jar and had to use a butter knife to get the rice out. Am I just being a bitch?

Dude, SHAKE them. I bang my jars on a big Kong dog toy. Some people use tennis balls or bike tires. Be smart and don’t hurt yourself. If they finish up after a shake you might as well spawn them and learn from whatever success or failure follows. On top of that, start over now. Throw that seedling mat away. Prep your grains on the drier side. Might as well ditch the “broke boi” tek and pick up some tougher grains that take longer to hydrate. Growing mushrooms the right way is dirt cheap, even for broke boys. If time is money, and you have some extra money, save yourself a a bunch of time by spending a little money and pour some agar. Starting with a clean culture will increase your success rates which are the end result of your invested time and effort. The quick and easy route always results in less measurable success for your time and effort. If you have a PC, no-pours are super noob friendly and a great way to dive into agar. Run a search. Clean spawn over everything. Good luck!

Yes. 
People break jars with their hands they have to shake/hit so hard. Do it with leather gloves and a tire of some sort (like a bike tire). Something with a little give so when you slam it, it's (hopefully) not going to break the jars. But if you can't get it to budge at all, you need to do it harder.
