2 jars have mycelium Growth! What about the others?

Okay finally after about 15 days two jars have mycelium growth. Well I have a question. I have about 10 jars in there, and the rest haven't started growing. Is there any way to use the existing jars to start them up? Or do I have to wait and make spore prints? Just wondering if there is an easy way to get them all going.
And also a quick question on pinning. When the whole jar is inoculated, you are supposed to put them 10 degrees colder to start them pinning right? Well if my jars are at 66 degrees, do you still recommend trying to decrease the temp?
Thanks in advance

optimal growth temp is around 86 (the myc can generate heat when growing so some people keep them at 80) that is why the other jars havent began growing. I've heard of someone's jars taking almost 2 months simply because of the temp they were put in to grow.

just wait.. you dont wanna do a transfer until your jars are fully colonized or risk contaminating your good jars.. you shouldn't have to do that anyways though..
as for your other questions, thimself answered it rather well.

66F is too cold,, get them up to 75 at least, i kept my first at 80F and growth was visable in 3 days,

I had that problem once where a few of the jars didn't do anything, ever. I remedied the problem by making sure the syringe was shaken up well between each jar and each flame sterilization.

86 isn't optimal for cubes
75-80 is according to RogerRabbit

Would it be bad if I only had them heated up at night? I''m asking because I don't live a lone and my heat source is a lamp. Can't have someone coming in and seeing a big light pointing at a blanket in my closet haha

If your going to use a lamp as a heat source make sure that the jars are completely protected from the light.
Ideally the mycellium should not be exposed to any light until you initiate pinning after birthing

Uh, I can see not wanting guests to see the lamp, but housemates? You really should not grow if the other people living in your house won't approve.
They are going to find it eventually.

You can make an incubator out of a cooler, reptile heating pad and a rheostat. Works like a charm.
