First Liquid Culture (pics)

Just wondering if this looks ok to everyone or if I perhaps ended up getting contammed. In my judgment it looks ok, but this is my first time doing this and I am slightly unsure. Any advice/opinion is appreciated.
Sorry for the poor quality of these photos, my webcam is not very good.
It mostly looks like slightly tinted water and white/slightly brown pieces (much like snowflakes) floating around.

There is a light source behind it so that I could show the flakes floating in it. It's just water and honey mix.

Mmm ok, perfect. Thank you for your very quick reply. My other one looks like this as well and the third I know for a fact was contammed as it stopped growing at a point at developed a white bubble that resembles mold at the top. I am very glad to hear that my other two appear to be fine. Thank you again.

it should start clumping at the bottom in fluffy chunks. if they come to that you know you're on the right track.

It always settled in the bottom and would sit together but never really clumpped together. Whenever I would agitate it it would break apart and float everywhere as seen in the photo. I took it out of its storage place today and put it in the fridge because I was worried about leaving it out to long. It seemed to me that it was time to do so. Is it possible that I did this too soon? And if so should I put it back in it's storage place?

how long was it in its storage place for? the LCs I've made I've incubated for around 2 weeks and they were ready, and then I put them in the fridge to stall any growth.
when it's done it should have good layer of clumps on the bottom.

I can't tell shit from your pics, but your description doesn't sound like any LC I ever grew.

I am pretty confident that it was done for sure then. There are many clumps that normally just settled on the bottom and it was in my storage spot for just over two weeks. I'm glad this turned out well. I'm going to try making LC from LC in the next day or two. Thank you for your help.
