Beginner's grow log...Please let me know how i'm doin! PICS

Hello everyone! We inoculated about a week ago. 12 half pint jars. There is growth on six and no visible growth on the other six. Should all have noticable mycelium after a week? We steam sterilized and didn't wait overnight to cool, but I figure we let them cool enough, since so many are growing. Here are some pics from our best colonizer so far. His name is Colson. I'll update soon. Please let me know what you think!!! (LATER) I tried to post pictures, but they are 1 mb and shroomery won't let you upload a file bigger than 2k. How do I shrink it?

Resize by open .jpg with right click - edit. Then hit image - stretch/skew - stretch it down say to 75 x 75 save as. it will lose a lot of kb's but not too much quality.

those are the exact same jars my buddy has...yeah...thats looks like myc...just treat em right and wait...read up and prepare your next step....good luck!!
btw- it looks like you've got a layer of dry verm on the top so you can take off the tape form the holes, some have shown an advantage to doing so...

we're using perlite with a hygrometer to fruit. Rubbermaid with clear lid. How much wet and dry should we expect from 12 cakes (assuming they all fruit)? Should I dunk? Dunk and roll?

mazatapecs is my favorite strain. this strain give me the best visuals. use tyvek to speed up the myc growth. store jars in an opaque incubator chamber at 85 degrees. i have my jars colonized in 2 weeks. gl

Here's some more...I've reached my upload limit till later tonight. This is about a week after inoculation. Would this be considered fast, slow, or average cultivation?
As for my others, they look as though the mycelium is starting back inside the substrate a little more. Is this normal?
From what you see here, how long should I expect until the jars are completely covered? I live in a VERY southern state, where the temp is always pretty high, so i've just been keeping them in a closet. I just got my thermometer/hygrometer today, so I'll get some numbers on the closet and let you all know.
Thanks for all the responses. Don't forget me as my thread moves further and further down the list. Please think of me as a student, and know that your knowledge will enrich the lives of many people, namely, my friends.
Thanks!!!

Just figured out that our jars have been sitting around 70 degrees. Did not expect this, since we live in a warm state. This can just slow down growth though, not stop completely, right? Now I have them about a foot from a space heater with the thermometer reading about 85.
So how about the dunk? Dunk and roll? I want to be prepared!
THANKS!!
