Slow growth???

Hey all, i have been looking around trying to find someone having the same problem but i wasn't completely sure so i thought id post and see what you guys think is wrong with my first attempt at brf (2-2/3 brf, and eight cups of vermiculite)
January 28th i sterilized the jars and allowed them to sit for two days before i isolated 10 half pint jars with a koh samui spore syringe. they have now been sitting for a little over 2 weeks i am seeing what i would believe to be a very slow growth.
here are a few pictures taken with my web cam so i apologize for the poor quality.



im starting to get worried that something is wrong, is there a reason for the slow growth? or are they just a failed attempt
Thanks in advanced

i've heard if you use fine grain verm it can slow growth.. also your sub can be too wet..
there are so many factors.. it can be too cold, your strain could be slow to colonize.. you could have gotten a weak syringe..
buncha shit man so many different possibilities.
just be patient..

like doc said. could be a lot of things. whats ur temperature? i used fine grain on my cakes, and they took a long time to colonize, but definately showed more growth than that within the first week. maybe too cold/wet/fine grain....keep us posted!

thx for the help guys, ive moved them into a place where they should be warmer so hopefully that will spark some faster growth. After a little over 2 weeks of colonization i would have hoped to see more growth. but i guess ill just sit tight and hope for the best.
ill keep you guys posted on how they come along
