alright well its my first time growin (pf tek), and my jars are doing very well and after about a week are seeing significant growth but one jar near the top by the dry verm layer, seems to have a darker color than the others looks kind of black and its not as dark as it looks in the pictures but it is still darker then the rest of the jar, should it be thrown out?

Did you have a little trouble finding the light switch there bud? I thought I was shitty at taking pics. Use a tripod or a stand or something.

that sucks dude. black mold is a huge PITA to get rid of. Most of the time it comes from your drywall that has had water damage.

The only thing to do now if they aren't contamed is to MOVE THE OTHER JARS IMMEDIATELY.

moving them may cause contams, as you're shifting the dry verm layer on them, which, in turn, will drop mold spores on to BRF.
Best advice w/ PF tek, don't move them after inoculation until 100% colonized.
