i started my second batch of golden teachers about 2 weeks ago and have a problem, it seems like, in the past 5 or 6 days that growth in the jars has completly stopped, most jars only have a quarter size blotch of growth, is something wrong?
And if so, what and how to avoid or fix the problem? Thanks
(they look 100% healthy)

Orangish or amberish in color? This could be metebolic waste also make sure you have removed any tape immediately after inoculating the jars then flip the jars upside down and growth should resume in a day or two. GL
