Give it a week or more before you get worried.

It sometimes takes close to a week or more for spores to germinate. In your case I'd just be patient and wait it out, especially since your temps are getting down into the 60's. If you still don't have any signs of growth after a week or ten days, then you should consider starting over. There's lots of other factors that could be the reason for no growth yet, such as unsterile conditions when you inoculated the jars.

Maybe the less nutritious the substrate is, the longer it takes the mycelia to show up since it hasnt got as much food or something. I dont know but ive heard of jars stalling for more than a week and than growing normally.

Your jars wont grow if they cant breathe, just put them in a clean place (box, closet shelf etc.) without the baggies.

What growing tek are you using? I'm using Shroom Wizard's (yeah, yeah, i know) and I aint seen shit. I think it's cause my spores were left too long before inoculation and died. Question for anyone: How could I tell if there are any contaminates in my jars? Does it actually have to look like mold? My jars look like they did when I made them.
