Here is a quick fix: If you can sacrifice one of the jars, why not open it and give it a smell. You can tell by the smell if it is contaminated. I suppose you could just wait the few days it takes to be fully colonized and when you spawn them you will smell them anyway. Best of luck!

If he just started his first cup of coffee: He will tell you something along the lines of; spawning those jars to a bulk substrate and expecting to get mushrooms would be like crawling into a fishtank of piranhas and expecting a good nights rest.
Hahahaha.....he would say something like that!

This is what I would do.

Coffee filters won't work for filtered gas exchange. Two coffee filters won't work half as badly as one, but still won't work.
There's no way to see what's what until you open them up, but I have a feeling it's contam.

This could be simply solved if the OP would sniff the jars thru the filters. Contams smell like shit and mycellium smells like mushie goodness

I am using a tyvek layer with polyfil in the lid, I know the coffee filters are useless basically.

Priority Check List:
1. Food & Water 2. Sleep 3. Shroomery
Anyway lol, I took the coffee filters off and tried to smell through the polyfil and tyvek. I couldn't smell anything, mushroom or bad. I'm going to wait another day, maybe two and then I'll smell again when I open them up. Here are some updated pics:

All jars look good to go. You could spawn them today if you wanted. I'd wait till tomorrow though.

Very Interesting on the progression. I'm going to want a spore sprint of this harvest.

Seeing awesome stuff like this inspires me to not quit trying to grow even though I blow at it. Just inoculated several jars with Cambodian and Golden Teacher, temperature is anywhere from 77-82 at all times in my house, I have indirect light and my room and area the jars are in is very sterile. hopefully I'll get results similar to yours!

Just a quick update, I prepared everything yesterday to spawn my jars and when I opened them up, I immediately recognized that sweet, wonderful mushroom aroma. I also did a H202 test on a small section of one of the jars and it didn't melt or make a fizzing sound, so I am now confident these jars were fine. For anyone still interested, I will be continuing to update this grow in my thread in the grow log forum. Thanks for everyone's help!

Just when I thought all was lost, the mushroom gods smile down on me somewhat! I thought I would update this project here since some do not have access to the grow log forum. I am in no way trying to start an argument, but apparently all those who thought this was mold or not cubensis mycelium were wrong. These pics were taken 30 days after spawning to bulk. After 20 days covered in darkness, the tub still did not reach 100% colonization. To make a long story short, I basically gave up on the tub and introduced it to fruiting just for the hell of it. After another 8 or 9 days in fruiting, there was still no signs of further colonization or progress, so I decided to toss the tub outside and bury it. That night I sprayed the whole thing down with 3% H2O2, because why not! The next day I got home late afternoon and went to go toss the tub only to find more pins than I could count!!! The tub has been pretty neglected simply because I thought it was a goner and didn't care. Now the question is how to proceed?

no way can you go from spores to what you had in three days. with liquid culture maybe.

The jars actually weren't 100% until day 7 and I spawned to bulk on the 8th day. I do believe something else was going on here though. Otherwise, why would the tub have taken so long and H2O2 have shocked it into pinning?

They pinned from FAE. Whatever happens will happen is always the score with growing. Hope you don't get contam.

This seems like it could harm the rest of the tub! You just use a garden hose and spray out the uncolonized parts??
