You can also start counting from germination day and not the inoculation day.
how long does it take for a jar to normally recover from a shake?

Its not uncommon to see recovery after 1 whole day, which is also a good sign of healthy, uncontaminated colony..
Shake a jar with 50-70% colonization and see it finish to 100% in 2-3 days.

Do these look okay? They had very healthy looking, connected, white growth, and now its been about 2 days after shaking. The temperature dropped from like 80 Degrees to 68 for a day though, so I think that may have slowed growth. I have the temperature back to normal now...
These are part of the group of jars that I was hoping/thinking looked okay after all.

I don't know if this is the right jar/spot you were asking about, but here's a closer look at them...
Kinda worried about them now =/

The white looking moisture on the exposed glass of the jar worried me, it had a cobweb appearance from a distance. The jars do look wet but you did mention you had a temperature swing which can cause a lot of condensation. They seem to be recovering from the shake but I'd watch them closely in the next few days, the shake generally exposes contamination faster in my experience.

Alright, thanks again for the feedback. I feel a bit better. I think that abrupt temperature change definitely did nothing but bad things, but now that it's dialed in I'm hoping it'll recover alright. So the condensation can't possibly introduce mold if the jar was properly PC'ed and sealed, ya?
Also, I was thinking of buying temperature-controlled heating pads to put underneath the jars during incubation... I feel like that would work better than the temperature-controlled heater I have in a cabinet... Any thoughts?

Stay away from heating pads, if af it's cold then rather make yourself a double tub with an aquarium heater in the bottom heating some water to warm the top tub.
