I lost 4 jars today do to a blueish mold. I orderd pre-ster jars from some new guy, i think i was stelth enghf in injection of spores, but who knows what caused it. (i am using a cheap kit i got off of ebay) This is my second attempt!!! first attempt got thrown away uh.
I also noticed a redish tint color in some of the jars, what could that be??

The only thing you can do to prevent contams is be more sterile.

It's possible you bought unsterile jars but you could never really know...I always flame sterilize my syringes and rub with alcohol for every injection, although typically just alcohol will do the trick, but from the sounds of things you need to do both.

If the contamination was from the jars it should show up in random spots, whereas if it's from the injection (either an unsterile syringe or faulty injection procedures) you'll only see contamination where stuff was injected and alongside the good mycelium... If you never see random spots of contamination away from the good stuff and the injection sites, the jars are probably okay.

If you think your injection procedures were flawless, try getting your syringes from a different source, because they could have been contaminated. Though usually if the syringe is the source of contamination, almost ALL your jars will be contaminated! So if you have more good jars than contaminated ones, it's probably that you aren't sterile enough when you inject them...
