slow growing

Alright so I've been incubating for 24 days now. I have one jar that has about a dime size spot left to fill in but the rest seem to have a ways to go. I'm using a mix of verm and rice flour. I'm wondering if its just the rice flour that's slowing the growth. The temp started at 80 but has been 76 ish when i checked it on the 15th day and the 20th. so I jacked up my water temp +2C and now its more of a strong 80 when I looked on the 24th day (today).
so, could it be the tightly packed rice and verm mix thats slowing my growth? slightly lower temps of the first 15 days? type of mycel growing?
is my slow growth abnormally slow or just an average slow? I planned on dunking these. btw.
any suggestions?
should i wait another week and check on them then?
should i upload some pics?

if they are not comtamed they only choice is to wait. my first batch of cakes i had inucubating aroud 65 really slow. jacked they heat up to 80 and they took off. they take time be patient. if u have tape over the holes take it off. if u intentionally packed the mixture that will slow u down dramatically. u want the mixture to be as fluffy as possible. hope this helps

Yeah, this sort of sounds like my experience at the moment. I'm kinda just sticking it out to see what happens. I lowered my temperature a little bit because one of my only two jars doesn't have the vermiculite layer (they say BOTH mushies and contaminates thrive at 80F)... I did it just as a test. I'm really expecting that one to become infested with poo!
