Why wont they grow?

I inoculated six substrate jars over the Thanksgiving holiday and for a while things were growing well. Now however, growth seems to have stopped and I dont know what to do to get the mycelium to finish colonizing my jars. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Flip your jars upside down to let the CO2 drain out and allow for some fresh air exchange (FAE). This will allow the mycelium to finish colonizing the rest of your cake.

Also if you have tape on them remove it and keep it off after inoculating them as the tape is no longer necessary and only becomes a hindrance and will stall your jars.

you might of packed the jars to tight... a common mistake for BRF pf tek jars is people pack it down, this will incredibly slow growth

I think thats true it seems you overpacked them. I had the same problem first time- the grow started fine but later it stopped growing. I didnt know what to do so i put them out and soon they started growing again. I had them in jar for over a month and cakes smelled real awful but later they produced 3 flushes

If you took the tape off the jars would it let moisture out threw the holes?
