Its almost week 2 of B+ and i see this brown spot next to some mycelium and the possible contam isnt spreading and is also not stopping or slowing the growth of the myc.  Edit: I drew those lines last night to see growth and that dark spot is what is concerning me. Close up. So can i rule out contamination?

Yea that grey spot doesn't look good just keep an eye on it, could turn out to be nothing.
I'm new though.

Im gonna separate it from the other kids but im not gonna toss it because it looks ok..lol. This jar wasnt inoculated by me but i did inoculate 10 1/2 pint jars and so far im at 100% success due to complete anal sterile technique. I'm not going anywhere, i am way too into this science. Thx for the input

That is contamination. I had some of it on a bad spawn. Toss it.

I honestly dont think it would have completely colonized if it was contaminated but just in case i did isolate it. BTW your sig is so cool dude!! I'm gonna birth this guy and see if any mutants pop out.

Looks okay to me. 
That little brown spot could be metabolites or even a piece of vermiculite pressed against the glass (it's kinda tough to tell for sure from the pics), both of which are normal.
If it ended up colonizing completely and doesn't have any obvious issues (i.e. no bad odors or other noticeable molds or bacteria present), then go ahead and birth it. Give it a whiff right when you open the jar. As long as it smells fresh and "mushroomy", and not sickly-sweet like rotten fruit or garbage, then you'll probably be fine.
Good luck!

I would quarantine the questionable jar. That looks like a contam to me too.cant be for sure.. Ive had questionable looking jars that i quarantined. Fully "colonized" around the edges. But when i went to birth the jars the center was completely contam'd,
