dangerous oops + LC pics.

so after a 17 hour shift i came home to realize my WBS had been soaking for almost 20 hours. time to get it outta there and into the PC. loaded up 7 quart jars (10 actually, but only 7 would fit in the PC) into the PC got 'er to 15 PSI and set the timer for an hour. sat on the couch, and woke up 4 hours later! turned off the PC and let it cool, there's still an half inch or so of water in the bottom so it didn't boil dry, and i usually keep the heat down to where it just barely moves the rocker so hopefully it didn't get too hot. the WBS is a bit dark but still clumps together in the jar as if there's a decent amount of moisture.
did I muck this up or do you think it'll work?
also I've got 4 pints of LC going. 3 are still void of any life (after 4 days) except for some white sediment on the bottom which I'm pretty sure is from the malt. The 4th is cloudy and has a white slimy/whispy looking substance at the bottom. is this myc or contam? pic below... the first two are of the possible myc the 3rd is a jar with sediment for comparison.
thanks all!!

Your grain is fine if it stayed at 15psi and didn't run dry. Perfectly fine.

Kernels bursting happens during the simmer stage, not during PCing. Doesn't matter a lot either way though, the jars will colonize just fine.

Haha no kidding right? I was just worried if the excess time was dangerous for the nutritional value or moisture content of the wbs.
Any input on the LC?

7-14 days to see growth from spores, stop looking at it.

the LC's were knocked up with tissue. however I took some of the liquid and cultured it on agar petri dishes, and it definitely is contaminated. Smells awful. So I pitched them. Just ordered some new spore because I'm pretty sure this monotub has had it also. It started to fuzz up on top then suddenly stopped. I took a sterile spoon and dug down a bit to find that the myc isn't eating the coir/coffee at ALL. The sub dried out a bit as well since it's been like 3 weeks. I suspect contamination. I re-hydrated the tub with some water and a bit of H2O2 back to field capacity. Just to see if it'll maybe bounce back but I'm not counting on it.
First PF tek was unsuccessful because my SGFC dried out while I was away on business and my friend stopped taking care of it.
Now my first bulk grow is failing. This is getting irritating...

LC is always a gamble. Get a pack of agar for $1.69, grow a nice clean culture and then go from there.

I just ordered some spores (shame that after the other ones i ordered months ago I have nothing to show for them..). I'm going to grow them on some agar that I have made up in petri dishes and then take the strongest looking myc and either A) drop it into the LC and then knock up some WBS with the LC since I hear it's the fastest. or B) just drop pieces of the agar right into the WBS jars. Haven't decided.
Spawn in the monotub is starting to fuzz up again. hopefully since its been re-hydrated it'll actually colonize this time. I hope quickly too, I'm moving across the country in 6 weeks =(.

Do B, then make a grain lc from that.
