9 days after inoculation, no contams. All clear?

It's been 9 days since I inoculated 12 jars, all of them now have mycelium growth and 5 of them are about 70-80% colonized. There are no visible signs of contamination and the mycelium is growing noticeably each day.
Is it still possible that there are contamination's in the jars that haven't reared their ugly heads yet? I understand that contams could still make it through the dry verm layer but other than that am I all clear as far as pre-existing contams go?

Chill-out. Access the jars when they hit 100% and post pics.

could be, trich can be white like myc, and bacteria can just look like wet spots.
But yeah, youre over thinking it just dont move your jars around too much and check them for contams when theyre 100%

If it's grains, you should've shaken by now & that's when contams will rear their ugly heads if any.
BRF don't touch until 100% colonized.

If it's been 9 days and you've got some that are 70-80% I'd be wary of cobweb mold. It looks similar, but once you've seen enough you'll learn. Either that or you've done everything perfectly and should give yourself a pat on the back
Post a pic if you can. How is it growing? Is it from one central spot outward or is it linear (best I can think) and how white is it? Myc is extremely distinguishable from other stuff (tho I have problems identifying it on wbs) and all seems to start from one central spot.
-------------------- I challenge you to challenge yourself more! When you feel complacent and ready to hang it up, challenge yourself to get over it! If you fail, don't look at it as you didn't succeed, look at it as you would a rock face you're trying to climb. Stand back, wayyyy back, and look at it and plot another path. If you can't find one, shuffle down the way a little, a little change of scenery or a view from a different angle may give you the insight you need.

it's either cobweb or bacteria if it's 80-90 after 9 days, for sure.
I've had bags get to 85%; next, overcome w/ bacteria...shit will stop mycelium in its tracks, which it is nice for bulk as you'll get 90% outta the first flush due to the contams.
Immediately remove contamed jars or bags.
Bacteria = manual dump then dunk in bleach water
Mold = PC for 60 min @ 15 PSI then dump

I'll post some pictures when the first jars reaches 100% and just hope for the best until then...
I must say that things do seem to be going too well, I was expecting at least half the jars to be contaminated.
