Would you use this jar for g2g?

Cube myc.
Was supposed to g2g this a couple of days ago. It has a few minor "wet" spots. Its been fully colonised for a week or two now.
I have 8 jars ready to g2g to, just making sure I'm not wasting my time.
I think its fine to use, but with my fail bags that couple months really nocked my confidence.
I want my beginners luck back for christmas.

Thanks guys.

Risky, but if you got no other master jar to G2G you might as well go for it. I would G2G 4 of the jars with that one, and knock the rest up with something else to cut your losses if the G2G fails.

Go ahead and break them up then give them a wiff. If the mycelium breaks up pretty readily and smells good those are both are good symptoms of healthy spawn and I wouldn't hesitate to spread those grains.

How am I supposed to smell though the lid? I always try but cant. I dont want to open it not in my GB if I intend to g2g it.
My grow room is my bed room so I have hard time detecting mushroom smell as it is since I'm constantly submersed in it.

Suit yourself. Fully colonized grains are resistant to contams.

Spend less time on the shroomery, get some sleep, and spend more time in your lab with your head submersed in your projects.

Its true that colonized grains are resistant to contams, but say I do open it up out side the GB, give a whiff and its good to go, then g2g, aren't the uncolonized grain susceptible to the possible contams that could fall into the jar for the brief second that I open it? 
And I know, I'm on here too much.

You shouldn't be considering spawning a jar that's grains aren't fully colonized. You want to be sure your jar's good or not? In this hobby you can't cut corners. That's what separates the men from the boys. The beginners from the novices off into professionalism.
I'v laid out several possibilities for you to chose from and I believe you know what you have to do to win.
If you truly want to know if your jar(s) are contaminated or not then you'll dedicate yourself to do what you have to do to make 100% sure those jars aren't contaminated before you spread them.

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/13585613/page/1If you go look here
You'll see the tray of jars that had the polyfill ripped out due to a hasty move, they sat in a dank, mouldy basement for three days, were transported in the bed of my truck(no top to that bed) 2 times, and I decided to try them out...So far I have complete colinization, no contams.... I'd hedge your bets with it and give it a go.

By uncolonized grains, I was referring to the ones in the receiving g2g jars.
And thats god to know Ozzy, I think that pasteurized substrate is going to be more resilient than sterilized grains.
This is why I'm hesitant a bit, Might just agar to grain some ksss clone that I just cleaned up on agar, and test some quila lc that I expanded. Hmmmm what to do. Guess I can just g2g this and do all of that tomorrow.

Thanks man, thats the assurance I needed.
Just had a whiff, smelled mushroomy but almost has a sweetness to it. Kinda reminded me of shiitake. Think I'm gonna do it anyways, It broke up really nice, couple of taps on the hand and every singe kernel was separated. I shook it the other day and it totally recovered in 2-3 days.
