How are my babies looking? (Possible Contam!?)

This is my friend of a friends first grow with 5 BRF P.C. B+. 1 Jar was contaminated so he tossed it and since these have been colonizing for about 4 weeks now I thought i would post them on here to see how you guys thought they looked.
Jar 1:


Jar 2:


Jar 3:


Jar 4:

Now this is what has him worried on jar 4, is this mold?

and how are the other jars looking to you guys?

4 weeks is a long time, indicating that none of the jars are super healthy. Moisture content, possibility that the syringe was contaminated, brf recipe, and sterile technique all need to be investigated.

4 weeks is not a long time.... Considering you used the wrong size jars.. Tall half pints, are proven to take longer to fully colonize.
That's why if you "have" to use them, when inoculating your substrate jars to be sure to put the needle in as far as possible and up against the inside of the jar glass.
That way you can ensure that the spore solution runs down the glass, making a larger spot for germination. Especially closer to the bottom, which is what you want.

Buy these... at my Local Grocer there 2 packs of 6. for 5$ I swear by them, always get 100% colonization in 14-18 days IME.
 Yes they are Short Half Pint Wide Mouths (8oz.) Just Plastic...
And no they don't melt PP5 Plastic.

Separate that jar from the others....cover the holes
I've seen stuff in jars many times that I swore was mold but infact was not...
That looks to be like fluffy myc and does not really look green to me...keep an eye on it for 2-3 days.
Remember...cover the holes and separate from other jars.
This will ensure that you KNOW FOR A FACT it is a contam.
If you question it...always separate, cover holes, and confirm it is without a doubt a contam.

Jar 4 looks bad. Don't cover holes on jars, that's counterproductive.

Them big jars do take a LONG time...sometimes..I've seen some of my big jars take 2 months, you get a lot of shrinkage, but they will get there. Every once and a while you get jars that take a long time. But yes toss that one outside, it's fucked.

I have concerns about all the jars. The way the mycelium is growing has me a tad worried. On the jar that is contamed, I would like to see the verm layer and needle hole location to figure out what happened. The was the blue mold is growing has me thinking it was introduced via needle. The way all the other jars are growing, has me worried that it was a dirty syringe. Op, take some more pictures with verm layers and zoomed out. I would also like to see the mycelium/uncolonoized substrate intersection
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.
